New Weapons? How likely?

For example Scythes or Sickles.
How likely is it for these two to make it into the game?
I don't know much about Elder Scroll lore and which weapons are possible and which are not.
Maybe you can enlighten me?

All the weapons here, are basically what everyone wants in the game...also hand-to-hand (fists). Most notably is crossbows, fists, spears, halberds (my fav weapon), throwing weapons, and they also want to be able to use a sword in one hand and magic in the other (that was datamined, and is in the code [found during morrowind testing], so people want it).
On the topic of scythes and sickles, tho they probably wouldn't add a huge scythe to the game, the soul-shriven motif makes their axes become sickles, and the battleaxe become a scythe with two blades: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Soul-Shriven_Style as you can see here.PC - NACP 1125

mesmerizedish✭✭✭✭✭Extremely unlikely. It has nothing to do with lore and everything to do with animation being one of the most resource-intensive aspects of game design.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭How likely? That only the powers that be can answer...
I know I have wanted new weapons for a long time now, which will come at no surprise considering: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/259011/additional-weapon-skill-ideas/p1
But who knows? Maybe next year, for another "expansion"...0 -

✭✭✭✭✭The issue is - creating new animations amd assets is insane work - they have to produce these weapons for every set AND it will reduce rng chances even further...so very unlikely...what i rather like to see is additional skill lines using existing weapons that can be unlocked by any class....for example 1h +rune for magicka melee, necromancy pet line, a bard buff debuff line etc...1 -

✭✭I hope for new weapons at some point but I doubt it will happen. (mainly because of what @Nemesis7884 has said) Should they still do it I think they would introduce weapons from the other elder scrolls games that fans wan't back. Like they did with the Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim. So crossbows, throwing weapons and polearms I guess.
My favourite would be polearms.EU/PC (GER) - Healermain since 2014 - 50305 Achievement Points - Youtube (PvE Healing Guides, Builds & Gameplay)1 -

✭✭✭✭I anticipate a new weapon or class with every chapter.
ESO:Mwind was already criticized for being light on content and it had a new class, I doubt they'll release future ones without one or the other.Thrice Empress, Forever Scrub0 -
Zardayne✭✭✭✭✭I'd love to see some new weapons as I've grown very bored with what we have available. Unfortunately I don't think ZOS will do it though.0 -

The soul shriven axes are pretty close, both 1h and 2h.
If they put a new weapon in the game I hope it comes with new animations and characteristics. A spear or pole-arm would be great, the way one uses a spear isn't like the way other 2h weapons are used in this game, nor if you had a pilum and shield.
I really liked the way spear animations were done in Nier: Automata, would love something like that in this game.“Whatever.”

Not sure why people think it's unlikely. It has already been in Elder Scrolls games before...Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

Arobain✭✭✭✭seeing as scythes and sickles were never used as weapons in anything besides very high fantasy games ( most notably asian games ), or interesting folktales about the grim reapers, i dont see it as a possibility, however i do agree with the halberds and etc, and hope they also release alteration, conjuration, and illusion staves1 -

✭I really just want to see bound weapons like in Skyrim. I think they would be awesome!0 -
Eiagra✭✭✭✭✭It's not likely, but I wish they'd consider it. Polearm and Brawl weapons would be nice to see.██████ █████████ ███████ In verity.0 -

✭I don't know why polearms aren't already a thing. They already have spears and the animations in the game. Go to the fighters guild in Skywatch in Auridon and you see npc's training with them. Not to mention we have the aedric spear skill. I could maybe see that as the reason polearms aren't a weapon but still seems... strange.
In that end, melee staves would be nice to have.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭My guess is a new weapon line is something Zos has thought of adding in a future chapter. Makes sense because they cannot add a new class every year.0
