Elder Scrolls V
snalin:
It's probably a cost/benefit thing - it probably costs a lot to do the whole 3D modelling and rendering for other weapons, so the analysis they did for the inclusion of other weapon classes probably ended up with them not gaining the game much, while costing a lot. I also know for a fact that they cut the whole left/right pauldron, left/right glove, curiass deal after Morrowind because animating it in Oblivion got too resource heavy for most modern graphics processors back then.

...or they just knew people would be modding in weapons that outshine the stuff they put out, like JaySuS Swords.

To be honest, my biggest complaint with The Elder Scrolls is how much Bethesda relies on the modding community.

Eh, that's a good point. If only they did what they did in Morrowind in terms of gear diversity, and with today's engines and graphics...
Also, has anyone installed and played Moonpath to Elsweyr? If so, what are your thoughts? I'm looking at getting it.
Stryc9Fuego:
The quality difference is noticeable but not unexpected. You're talking the difference between a major studio with a budget somewhere between $25M and $100M, and a free mod with a budget of whatever can be scraped together and some Cup Ramen. It can still feel a little jarring going from the smooth, polished professional voice acting in the main game to the voice acting in this mod, but as far as the content itself, they did a very good job of making an entirely new area with new mobs, quests, and ingredients.
The biggest complaint I have is the poison you get from the spiders in this area. It's a paralyzing poison that paralyzes for upwards to 30 seconds, a crazy amount of time. That poison is overpowered and needs to be nerfed a bit.
Other than little nitpicky details like that, it's fun overall. Give it a go.
