Now there is probably already a thread about a DLC pack including a large selection of new weapons and armor etc. but I wanna throw my idea out there and see what everyone thinks about it.

Now I play Skyrim on Xbox and i'm sure there are many people who would agree with me that us Xbox gamers are short-handed when it comes to the amount of weapons and armor that are on Skyrim, and we don't have mods nor are we able to mod Skyrim willy-nilly. So it would be pretty cool if Bethesda released a DLC pack at some point containing nothing but new weapons and armor for us to get our hands on. And the idea came to me that the pack could include alternate types of weapons and armor of the existing stuff. Take dragon armor for example, there's dragonbone which is the bigger, heavier set which gives more protection, and then there's dragonscale which is the light armor which weighs less etc. So why not do the same for the rest, light armor for dwarven, orcish, steel, daedric, heavy armor for glass, elven and so on. It may sound silly having a heavy set for glass armor but rather than using moonstone with malachite, you could use ebony with malachite. So adding alternate versions of existing armor types and adding at least 2 new types of armor (open for suggestions on new armour types but i'd wanna see a return of adamantium from morrowind) would more than double the amount of armor that can crafted.

When it comes to new weapons, you could have different styles of a certain weapon type. It would be difficult to add new weapons that would have a distinct feature stats wise that differs from the original but it would be a playground for the actual cosmetic design of a weapon e.g. a dwarven sword that isn't pure dwarven metal, maybe the handle and frame could be made using dwarven metal but the actual blade itself could be made using steel. And that same style could be applied to the rest of the weapon types. Though the cosmetic design of new weapons can be tied to the design of the new armor.

And finally, I know this topic has been practically beaten to death with a dragonbone warhammer but the pack should also include horse armor with all the types of armor there are. And I say this with a valid reason, since the integration of horse combat with the Dawnguard DLC, horse armor would be alot more valuable than it was in Oblivion. Unless you have Shadowmere, any horse you use be it bought or stolen is gonna get slaughtered. ESPECIALLY if you fight giants on horse back. So horse armor could double (or more) your trusty steeds health so it wouldn't be a waste of 1000 gold. And i'm sure everyone would love to have Shadowmere outfitted with a set of dragonbone or daedric armor for that "My horse looks so badass it could kill a dragon" effect.

Plus with the addition of the new weapons and armor, there could be a couple small quests added in that would relate to you getting your hands on new metal types that are required to make the weapons/armor like adamantium or whatever new armour type is added. So who agrees with me on some of the stuff here? Or if i've sparked your imagination post some of your own ideas.

I would want a lighting bolt shaped spear, like the one Zeus has in God of War. They probably wouldn't add it though. Also as other people have said in previous threads I would want Aedric quests, that give you armor and weapons.

I don't see why we need a DLC that's going to start up the whole Horse Armor conspiracy again.

Oh god no if they do horse armor again I will snap Skyrim in half. Really what is the benefit of horse armor, what happens if your horse dies. You will have to buy a new horse and new horse armor. Everyone knows this will eventually add up to thousands of septims, because all horses besides Shadowmere and die easily.

Sure I'd like to see some new armour, particularly chainmail and some varients to leather (like the one on the Bosmer on the loading screen). But judging by the vampire armour in Dawnguard (haven't seen the Dawngaurd armour yet) I get the feeling the artists over at Beth are having a hard time coming up with stuff. Maybe they had to let most of them go, and the only one they've got left is the guy who did the Dark Brotherhood armour. They should give Capcom a ring and ask if they can borrow the guys who did the armour for Dragon's Dogma. Or ask the community to send in some, maybe make a contest of it.

It's the same with monsters. Ok charus hunters and gargoyles are ok, but I get the feeling they're just stuck for ideas.

I see horses to be useless in TES. Why we need horse armor is beyond me. And to be honest, horse combat isn't that great either. It consist mostly of just running around in circles try to hit the enemy. It's a fun little add on but it wasn't needed.

I am all for new weapons and armor. Should really make a small DLC like the Gun Runner's Arsenal in New Vegas that just gives you all new goodies.

I think horse armor would actually be worth it now, and horses aren't as useless as most people say they are. You can raid several places while still riding on horseback, loot everything and still be able to fast travel despite being over-encumbered, easy loot runs. And with the addition of horse armor, you could then use any horse you want instead of having to do the Dark Brotherhood questline just to get a decent horse because the armor could increase the horses health

Well I'd like Spears , Adamant weapons , Stalhrim and Mithril please
