Yess! Just what I wanted

Guess there's no Dragon weapons, only armor. Everything else, I.E. Orcish, Dwarven, Steel, etc. says forge armor and weapons but only armor for Dragon

Edit: http://i.imgur.com/ZZhwL.jpg from looking at this, at least.

If you look at the image of the woman in Dragon Armor walking towards a Dark Brotherhood door you can see that her sword has matching scales on the handle. I would assume it's a Dragon sword since it exactly matches the Dragon Armor.

Meh. Not impressed. The armor with the shoulder pad should be better than the one without it. Oh well.

Anyone know if you can name armor/weapons if you create them (or enchant them)?

I completely disagree, if there was a better type then there'd be no point having the pauldron-less one. Choice is good, even if it comes at the expense of a very small amount of realism.

Awesome. Thank you :smile:

My question is, will there be variations in helmets too?

I certainly hope so, but I'm not holding my breath. Even if the choices are limited to more than one chest/leg armour piece only, I'm more than satisfied.

i saw that steel helmets come in non horned and horned varieties, does that help ?

Same here, but I would be hoping for open and closed variations for each helm.

If you enchant them yes,dont ask me for source tough,if you get what i mean.

Yes, that definitely helps. Thanks!

Can anyone confirm if Smithing allows you to make Jewellery at all?

1000% sure you can make jewellery. I dun saw it with ma own two eyes.

That's good news, thanks for letting me know

My friend also told me that you can take certain items to the tailor and dye them different colors.

I agree, giving every set a few different variations is a great way to expand the player's choices. Variety is the spice of life, it doesn't matter what kind of spice it is as long as there is some to begin with. :tops:

Well, I'm loving what I have read so far about smithing. It was already in my perk list anyway, but this just confirms it.

If this is true, that would be amazing.

You have to resharpen the blade, I believe. All weapons stay at 100% durability and can't go below that, though you can improve the quality to 200%, which over time, eventually degrades back to the 100% base.

awesome

pretty in depth hopefully they improve upon it in the next game i wont be satisfied until i can fully customize my soon to be weapon or armor during its creation.

does smithing include arrows and range weapons for us archers? anyone know also is there a self tailor part to make robes and stuff?

I didn't see anything that indicates self-made arrows. have to buy them or find them. Robes, too. Protip: Vampires wear black robes that increase Magicka regen by 50%. The only non-standard items you make at a smithy is jewelry of various types.

http://i.imgur.com/ZZhwL.jpg. Definitely looks useful for light armour.

just looks like glass smithing would be worth it.. the rest effect heavy armors aside from arcane.

edit: nvm I see weapons too... I dunno though

Can anyone confirm if there is any truth to this? I do not wanna get my hopes up.

Ah Sammu, you keep this up and you'll have a creepy, bearded Australian pining over you :celebration:
