Silver swords

Why can't they be improved? D:

There would actually be a practical use for silve ingots...

This annoys me.

I'm wondering if it was an oversight or whether they simply ran out of time. I can't really think of any reason why they wouldn't let us improve silver swords.

I was dissapointed silver weapons weren't a standard material, like in Oblivion. Doesn't even have to be proper silver, silver-infused steel would be great if it was supposed to be decent as an actual weapon without being too expensive or soft.

It would be nice if silver weapons were still needed as a way to fight ghosts, as they used to be immune to standard weapons.

I know... now ghosts, especially since they don't have unique designs anymore, are really just blue people and nothing else. They even drop normal things.

I miss that, you think it was part of the changes made for accessibly? I rather like my stats if they lead to more enemy types.

I'm not sure if it was made to make the game easier for newcomers or if it was just a short-cut taken to get the game out sooner.

They could have put some ghosts in the starter area with a npc saying to use magic or magic weapons on them.

This actually goes against established lore as well. But is suppose the bonus damage to undead makes it a substitute or whatever. There are mods that fix this btw but idk if you are on PC.

This, along with not needing silver weapons defeat ghosts anymore were terrible decisions.

I don't know, I love the look of the silver weapons and wish they could be improved.

Totally agree. I remember the horror I experienced in Oblivion the first time I encountered a ghost and discovered that my weapons were useless against it.

Yes, they do look good, as well.
