Skyrim: Weapons

Weaponry and magic in Skyrim is vastly different than anything we have seen in the past. However, it is not truly the weapons themselves that are so different, rather the way they will be used. For the most part all weapon types are accounted for; the only weapon that seems to be missing from Skyrim is the spear type, spears will no longer be implemented in this chapter.

For every loss there is a gain. If you were upset over loosing spears, you will be happy to know that now both of your hands are equally as useful.


Each hand will have it's own capability to either attack or defend, both physically and magically. All weapons and shields will have a attack and defense stat attached to them, shields will have the ability to be used both defensively and offensively. Torches have also gained some useful attributes in Skyrim as well with the ability to bash and set enemies aflame. Hands can be equipped with dual weaponry, dual magic, weapon and shield, or magic and shield.
