Ok if your reading this thanks for taking the effort to click on my topic,

Im hoping to address a few things that I hope will be acknowlegded or responded too at the very least:

• The fact that many weapons, especially Wuuthrad (the only real "physical" reward for the Companions questline), being unable to be improved at the workbench
  
• Some armors such as the Blades Armor, being without "perks" or not being included in smithing perks so they can never be half as good as fortified Steel Armor
  
• The look of 2h axes and hammers on the players back, and the appearance of most hammers
  
• The limited usefullness of the Dawnguard factions spells, and how they cannot be empowered from their original state and also the lack of a "good" dragon shout
  
• The number of armor sets that do not have any kind of helmet or other piece of armor

The first thing I want to address is that some weapons that are unique and actually cool cannot be upgraded and are therefore basically useless. Ex: Wuuthrad is the only physical reward from the Companions questline and about half of the quests were about finding pieces for it or getting them back. When you finally get it, its unique, and its damage is higher than the base damage of a daedric battleaxe, however unlike the Daedric battleaxe, Wuuthrad cannot be upgraded. Its easy to make even a steel battleaxe do better damage than Wuuthrad because it cant be upgraded. Then there are weapons that can be upgraded with nothing, despite that it makes no sense. So I would like to suggest that you could update the "misc. quests" that you recieve at the end of the questline, so that there is a quest which allows you to get upgrades for Wuuthrad, or just make it possible to upgrade it.

Next is that armors like the Blades Armor, are not affected by smithing perks, even though it would make sense for them too be affected by them (advanced armors or steel smithing), so why can't the Blades Armor be upgraded to the point where it is useful? It takes alot of fortify smithing potions and enchantments to make Blades Armor good enough to be worth carrying it.

One of the most annoying things that I see constantly in Skyrim is the ridiculous way that battleaxes and warhammers look on a player's back. Why does the handle of the weapon literally stick out a whole 4 feet from the person's shoulders? It looks completely ridiculous, and so I never use warhammers and rarely battleaxes because of them looking so ridiculous. And while im on the subject of warhammers, I want to ask why they have such huge handles for such a small head? It only adds to the whole ridiculous image of them being on your back, the only warhammer that doesn't look bad is Volundrung, because it makes sense for a large handle to have a large head, and doesn't look like a really long stick with a tiny stone at the end, who could you hit with such a small head?

Turning to the new content added in Dawnguard, I want to get some clarification on the spells of the Dawnguard faction. First off I think they are cool and are a welcome addition to the game. However are there any perks that affect the sunfire, vampires bane, or stendarr's aura spells, they are so much like destruction magic yet they are restoration, so maybe they could benefit from the "Augmented Flames" perk and the "Intense Flames" perk because both sunfire and vampire's bane cause a "burning" effect on the undead, or if the power of the sun disintigrated them that would be epic too. Another thing I wonder is why there is no "good" or moral dragonshouts that say inspired your comrades or heals them, or if there was a ultimate resurrection spell that can sacrfice a part of yourself for a dead person that died before their time, say for the many many many many people are now killed because of the constant dragon and vampire attacks that cause me to reload and reload and reload, because I wasn't paying attention for 5 seconds.

Finally regarding some of the new armors added into the game that do not have a helmet and do not benefit from the perks that require a full set of armor, so they will never be as good as vanilla game armor. It would also be cool if there was an "heavy ancient falmer armor", because when I first saw

*****************SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT*******************************

Knight-Paladin Gelebor I said to myself "oh my god theres an actual paladin in Skyrim that is soo cool!" but you never get to be a paladin, and in what game has a paladin ever worn light armor as their primary armor type? Paladins are supposed to be the cool holy armored tanks that bring down the hammer of righteousness down on peoples' heads. Plus when you actually get the ancient falmer armor from his dead brother's corpse, theres no helmet, so it will never be complete and therefore never be half as good as most other light armors in the game.

Let me say now that I am not complaining, maybe at worst ranting, and appreciate everything that Bethesda Studios has put into the game and are looking forward to their future endeavors, especially Fallout: San Fransisco (note please do not put hippies in the game please please please please do not, or atleast make a South Park reference and let me kill all the continued descendents of those hippies and make the Brotherhood once again a force to be reckoned with). I merely want to see a response to my topic at I hope that Bethesda will look at this personally.

Thank you. Talos guide you.

This entire thread belongs in the spoilers section. Once it's moved, I'll be happy to discuss these topics with you.

Roger, im new to posting topics is it where it needs to be?

the topic has been moved to the spoilers section,your good now.

I can agree on this subject.

I also would like to see Silver Weapons get the use of silver ingots. As well as silver armor or other silver weapons.

The battleaxe rant on their ridiculous look is something that I 100% agree with. the DG runehammer looks stupid on your back, with nearly 90% sticking up. No point in sneaking with it on your back, they'll see the handle sticking up from miles.

And the fact the hammer doesn't even work? ha.

Yea I forgot to mention the silver weapons, I knew I forgot something, I probably forgot more too but I'm sure it'll come up if more people comment, but the battleaxe look is bearable but the warhammer is the one I have the biggest beef with

Oh and I almost forgot about some things concerning crossbows:

• The quiver or w/e its called for crossbow bolts, annoyingly sticks out about a foot out from the character
  
• I was hoping for more diversity in the crossbows, you know Iron-Dragon or something
  
• I was also thinking they'd be more intimidating or distinct, but thats a lesser matter

i think they should address the bugs first. like how there is no bear cronvangr cave for me to kill.

Erm, Shield of Ysgramor?

Edit: Another reward for completing the companions.

He's there but Gunmar tries to get thru the wall to attack it and gets stuck! So you have battle thru the spider infested cave on your own and he miraculously appears at the end to help take out said bear !

The way the battle axes and warhammers stick out is a bit annoying, but I fine with using battle axes. Warhammers just don't fit any of my characters.

As for the warhammers looking "small", historically they were actually small. A specific weapon comes to mind called the bec de corbin as well as the lucrene hammer, which both had small hammer heads. The hammer head was mostly used to puncture plate armor, and it is rather unwieldy to swing an oversized polearm hammer.

True, true, but the shield isnt given as a reward, you find it in a chest. I meant that Wuuthrad was the reward for all the effort you put into the questline, also its mainly that ALL warhammers, with the exception of Volendrung, look like that. Thats the problem I have with it. Also there needs to be some actual unique 2h swords for once, note Ebony Blade doesn't count and dont say Balgruffs Greatsword
