This. :biggrin: Too bad we don't have the other weapons in that style... :(

Yeah. Sharp & dangerous while still looking well-made. Would be perfect for Orcish.

so I was just looking at knives becuse of "Unless you have an idea/suggestion on how to improve it " and thought that something in the style of the Gerber MK-II fighting knife would work great for the blade of woe.
also sorry about sounding so negative about your work, as I mostly enjoy what you've done in this mod.

Oooh! Maybe without the serrations. Some type of stiletto knife could be cool too. Maybe even just slim the blade of the mesh you're using now so it's more of a stabber than a slasher.

now that dagger just looks silly Imo

Yes it is pretty much just for show, but my entire search for a basic reference consisted of Google image search, "fantasy daggers", scan the page for 5 sec for a basic shape that is similar to vanilla but with a little more 'flair'

for Reference this is what you suggest http://www.polimil.co.uk/acatalog/gerbermk11.jpg which I think also looks cool and would be awesome as well.

I find that you get results if you don't have fantasy in the image search, by dropping it you get rid of most of the silly just for show knives/daggers.

Historic might also be a useful search term.

EDIT: Perhaps something akin to http://www.google.com/imgres?q=historic+dagger+assassin&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1853&bih=1068&tbm=isch&tbnid=TXjgoxC8lokq7M:&imgrefurl=http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp%3Fnumber%3DUC883033&docid=x_IeJ4nSN4hmjM&imgurl=http://www.entertainmentearth.com/images/%25255CAUTOIMAGES%25255CUC883033lg.jpg&w=500&h=500&ei=y28DT8gTqOrSAb3DzYUC&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1476&vpy=136&dur=576&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=117&ty=67&sig=105113292317131297545&page=1&tbnh=138&tbnw=140&start=0&ndsp=63&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:0

I already made it out of Ebony & Glass, since it's supposed ot be made of a material that predates metal. Lorkhan's blood seemed most suitable. However, whenever I view it in-game it uses it's vanilla texture. Can't figure that out. Must be something weird I can't access properly with the tools I'm using.

both Chillrend and Grimsever look awesome and all, but I think one of them should use the original skyrim glass mesh with your new texture to help distinguish between the unque weapons.


Edit: Grimsever looks better than Chillrend Imo

I really don't like the glass sword mesh. I think they're pretty distinctive. They're definitely a hell-of-a-lot more distinctive than they were in vanilla. In Vanilla Grimsever used a vanilla glass sword mesh/texture. The vanilla glass mesh just looks rediclous IMO. It doesn't even look sharp. I appreciate the input though as always. :)

It reminds me of this http://www.shopenzed.com/full-size-maori-greenstone-pounamu-mere-club-xidp122231.html. Which is actually surprisingly deadly. Maybe that's what they envisioned the glass weapons as? If that is the case, then it actually is possible for weapons made of glass without any metal for structural support.

I don't doubt it's deady, but it isn't sharp. According to their own lore...
Glass weapons and armor are an ornate design: light and flexible, although very difficult to make and expensive. Glass armor is a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Light_Armor created using rare metals studded with http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Raw_Glass. The result is stronger than http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Steel due to its ability to absorb and distribute shocks very well. Glass armor not only surpasses other light armor in strength, but is also superior to most medium armor (with the exception of a few http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Artifact_Armor and some new medium armor added by the two expansions). The armor is favored by the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Buoyant_Armiger, and one of the only places it can be found for sale is at their stronghold in http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Ghostgate.
Similarly, glass weapons are created using rare metals and volcanic glass to produce blades of virtually unparalleled sharpness and light weight. Glass weapons wear quickly however and require frequent repair.
That's the basis of and the inspiration for my vision of glass.

Yeah. I just meant aesthetic inspiration, rather than their lore. ;)
I think your weapons fit their own lore way more than the vanilla ones. :teehee:
