Weapon types

Gardugo · April 2014

Is there any difference betwen different weapon types (swords, axes, daggers...) besides what you find in skills? I.e. are daggers faster than swords which are faster than axes e.t.c?

weapons are made to be interchangeable depending on your preference. There are skills that will increase speed, damage etc, but beyond that I believe what you see is what you get.

Here http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Weapons are tables of all the weapons showing all of their values. As far as I can tell all 1H are the same and all 2H are the same.

Thanks

Same stats but some passives will perform differently depending on type. I know at least 2h has a passive that does different things if you have a maul, battle axe or greatsword.

So basically if I have two daggers as opposed to two swords, I'll be pretty much doing the same thing (since daggers are classed as swords), right?

Which is nice for me because dual wielding daggers looks better to me than dual wielding swords.

If you look at this link that seems to be the case.

Kinda disappointing to see how little variety there is in weapon and armor styles...I doubt every Dunmer sword is forged the same, or Breton plate. The racial styles should be more about resource used and cosmetics, not just one uniform outfit.

Hopefully they add more in the future.

They do alter depending on the material used within the racial motif. They even alter (in terms of color) as you change the amount of material you put into it in one tier.

There's no difference telling between weapons within category's like 1h/2h etc etc.

There is a tinting difference based on level. But yes, it seems unlikely they would not add more styles. Remember folks, this was just released - I am very happy with the motif/style system at launch.

I like that so far most items are very realistic and fit well onto characters and the world. No two-ton shoulderpads with flaming towers on top. Though later on I do hope we get to see some more high fantasy stuff like swords and armor that someone actually bothered to polish.
