Since it's Morrowind, can we get spears/polearms?

AlexanderDeLarge · February 2017

What is a Warden/Morrowind expansion without spears and polearms? It'd be awesome if we could get a new weapon type.

It's time spears come back to The Elder Scrolls.

SwimsWithMemes · February 2017

If it comes, it will probably be with a free DLC

(hopefully the one with Jewelry crafting and spell crafting!)

captainwolfos · February 2017

God I hope so.

But I sincerely doubt it.

Keeping my fingers crossed for this, though probably in vain

The argonians on the left... Are they holding spear ? Or is it just a spear - shaped resto/destro staff ?

Aetherderius · February 2017

I get the feeling Vivec is going to have Muatra, and use it at some point to turn an enemy into shish kabab like Kurog did in Orsinium. And it will be amazing. But still not for us.

ZiRM · February 2017

It would make people happy! I hope one day they will add them.

Tabbycat · February 2017

Vivec's love is accidentally shaped like a spear.

Jemcrystal · February 2017

Thot there was a data mined thread somewhere zipped past one day that told us what weapons be like. Didn't pursue.

Vanthras79 · February 2017

A new weapon/skill line sounds very Wrobel-centric. You may have to do your best to persuade him to pursue such lofty ambitions.

Lord_Eomer · February 2017

Jewlery & spell crafting should be priority!

Though would love to see Spears in action!

@ 0:24 you can clearly see one of the argonians carrying a spear.

Confirmed or false advertising?

... well you know the answer.

Seraphayel · February 2017

Pretty sure we won't see new weapon types in Morrowind. Maybe in Chapter 2, coming Q2/2018? I think that's even the earliest time we could see Spellcrafting - if ever.

BadLuckCharm · February 2017

And also add a stamina-based staff attack: swing the staff and whack them on the head. Causes damage and unbalances / dazes them for a few seconds.

Stovahkiin · February 2017

I'd love to have this, I rather doubt Zeni would do it though D;

JakelDK · February 2017

i remember people asking for this since Oblivion!

yeah it would be great if the added this to the game.

Greevir · February 2017

I want an unarmed skill line first.

TheShadowScout · February 2017

Oh, I definitely would love to see some new weapon skill lines. And some additional options for those existing ones which are lacking in such.

Malamar1229 · February 2017

well they dont even need to introduce a new weapon line...theyvcan just toss them in the 2H category, worst case.

It already exists in some people's minds. Tried doing a dungeon with a bare fisted Sorcerer Tank and the guy started jumping down my throat about me being a noob Healer, I was a scrub and I was the worst, not even trying. Then after the group kicked him he continued to whisper me about how crap I am.

Lynx7386 · February 2017

They don't need to make it a new skill line, just an addition of polearms to the 2h skill line with new animations.

The dual blade and Blunt passive for dw gives these passives:
Swords +damage
Maces +armor pen
Axes +bleed
Daggers +crit

For 2h, the heavy weapons passive gives the first 3 but has no weapon to give crit chance. Make polearms fit that void

NewBlacksmurf · February 2017

Didn't remeber them being in Morrowind but weapons worked odd anyways so that's prob why

I also agree it wouldn't be a new skill line

OK so before we add a new weapon what would you want it to do in the bigger sense that the current weapons dont?

i could see maybe a sort of "javelin/shield" thing (not polearms) where you get a more "defensive" but medium ranged (maybe 15-20m not 28m) stamina based weapon line with 2 gear slots like Sword and shield. this would potentially open up some medium range stamina build options likely at the expense of damage. is there a need for medium ranged tank?

For polearms, 2h weapon, not sure i see the role. Maybe roots enemy at just outside of melee range? Short range but longer than melee bash interrupt?

Balamoor · February 2017

Hmmmmm

Maybe my Templar using a polearm would drive more people nuts than dual wielding or using a bow?

I kid I kid

AlexanderDeLarge · February 2017

That's true, I'd be happy with spears being part of the 1h+shield/DW and halberds/polearms using 2H trees. I just think it's time we get them back in the Elder Scrolls and Morrowind is a great place to introduce them.

@STEVIL I think they just want a new weapon not a new weapon skill Line

So it's just a visual.
Spears would be a new skill line tho if ppl want to throw it but in my opinion, spears would fall under a "bow" skill line
Edit:

Seems more logical to just role a Templar tho...I never understand ppl who say pole arm and spears who aren't a Templar

So they want the weapon grind to find "x weapon in x trait" to be even worse than it is now?

Really?

In PvP, polearms are hard counters to gap closers and could be used as a "buffing" defensive melee weapons skill line promoting a defensive melee group play, e.g. a stance that reduces run speed and offers the more protection the more players within 10m are using it.
In PvE, I think polearms are closely interconnected with the implementation of a simple mounted combat system like in Skyrim.

Of course, I´m telling that mainly because I damn miss my old dwarfen halberd back in Morrowind.

Gargath · February 2017

Agreed, it took them just a week to make spears for Skyrim, why it takes so long to put them in eso

1:30 I remember my excitement seeing this
