glowaura added to echanted armor

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 4:22 pm

The aura/glow found in weapons is subtle and doesn't look over the top, but nice to add that same effect to enchanted armor. Will this be possible once the construction set comes out? Anyone know?

I think, however, that it would be nice, if we had an effect on armor that matches the effect we see in inventory.

Did you play their past games? That was one of people's top complaints. It seemed like everyone that played on the PC used a mod to get rid of the glow. It is no wonder they finally stopped doing it.

There is a piece of armor I got with a very pronounced and cool effect not just on the armor but the entire player in the game. The effect is also situation specific: in combat or sneaking. So yeah it should be possible.

The effect should only be visible in combat, me thinks. Otherwise it's just annoying.

That was the one thing I HATED about Morrowind. Stupid cosmetic glowing of the Armor and Weapons. Why the EFF would I want to traqes around in shiney purple glazed armor? No thank you.

But isn't the glow a lot more subtle in skyrim? I'm honestly asking (I didn't play the previous tes) but looking at the glow of the weapons in skyrim it looks well done and not over the top.

i would rather see the glow that they currently have go away... unless its something particularly special, then only shows in combat like a defensive enchantment or something flashing that color when it blocks incoming attacks or something.

otherwise its kind of annoying to be flashing green/yellow/red/blue/etc. like a friggin christmas tree, even if it is that time of year (close enough)

Maybe I jus don't have high enough enchants... because I barely see the enchants on my weapons now. I'm playing on ultra settings and all, maybe is because I play in third person that the weapon enchants don't annoy me.

Anyway, I sure hope it'll be possible via mods, for those who do want it ??
