Should ZOS give us the ability to name our weapons?

I’ve always wanted to name my weapons, like we can name our pets, mounts, and houses. Have you? Would you support ZOS adding this to the game in one way or the other?

Yes, I must name my dagger “Fart Poker” like I did in Skyrim! Even if it cost gold or Crowns!

    Yes, yes , yes. It can be more awesome if it's unique name like character name, and we can know how many player kill we got from that weapon then we can be able to use it to decorate our house after reaching "1000 player kill" archivement or something like that

    Would be nice is nothing but to organize sets.
    Issue is that this would probably increase the data used to store items, unless it was client only.

    That would be all kinds of awesome. We should be able to use weapons as furnishings already....sad we got a pet rock before this...

    Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

    Voting Other because I'm neither for it nor against it.

    I certainly see no need for it. Those wishing to RP it can easily already do so. Seriously, nothing is stopping you from naming your weapon right now in your own head-lore. Like pets and mounts, it's doubtful they'll let other players see the name, so does this feature really need to be added just for self-validation that your weapons are named?

    On the flip, it's not a feature that would affect gameplay, or anything really, negatively so I wouldn't vote against it (as long as no one else is forced to read it). I'm always happy to see new features added that a significant portion of the playerbase have been asking for, even if it wasn't something I personally wanted. (Honestly, that's how I feel about Necromancers. I never wanted to play one, and their new class does nothing for me or my existing characters, but I am happy for all the players who have been begging for them since the game came out.)


    There is another option I haven't seen proposed yet... I see the OP is on PC so good news! You could easily make an add-on that lets you fulfill your wish of naming your weapons. Given that ZOS probably wouldn't let other players see its name, you could even make your add-on better fulfill your desires by sharing weapon names between any players using it. Seems like the best option as it's fully within your power to make happen.

    Well yes, I'm pro everything that involves customization. I would just not want to pay for this function as weapons (and armor) are not my best friends. Pets, mounts and houses are.

    Besides, I'm pretty sure my swords would hate me if I named them 'Shnookie' and 'Carolus' (which I might do, knowing myself). I suspect swords think of themselves more along the lines of 'Umbra', 'Debaser' or 'Stormbringer' (right, wrong franchise, but still).

    While it could be cool it could also have complications.

    Naming a weapon would definitely need to bind it to you. I'd like to see it only apply to gold quality weapons as well.

    Abusive posting in chat would be my primary concern.

    Played a WW2 game where you could pay to name your weapons. Their names would show up in the kill feed, and in the death recap. It was pretty awesome. Having said that, there were some names that would probably get you banned in ESO.

    Probably be best if it was implemented (as stated above) as a name only the owner could see, and in this way any vulgarity (and you KNOW it would happen) forced on other players would be kept to a minimum.
