The silver shortsword feels like it swings as fast as the Rueful axe, which is literally the slowest fucking weapon in the entire game. In reality it proabably swings as fast as any two-handed weapon. If you're still updating this mod, I thought I might bring it to your attention.

"but beware, shortswords are less silent than daggers" - Not to fear, I have a sneak and muffle buff of over 28 thousand percent I think as an "tail" armor. I think it would be awesome though if there were khajiit tail and toe rings, considering argonians have armor-tail mods...

so they look like swords, but they highly mimmick data of daggers? smart man.

Can you tell me if these are included in the Immersive Weapons mod? If not, is this mod compatible with Immersive Weapons?

Great mod but it is true that short swords are supposed to be a faster, lighter, and more subtle alternative to normal swords for more aggressive thieves and assassins.

Thx for putting this mod on Steam, i tryed to down load it several time on the nexus and it kept giving me an error message when i tryed to activate it. so i am glad i have a chance to trry this mod out.

keep the assassins blade perk since I play one
really cool
Meisenmann 6 Mar, 2015 @ 5:46am 
awesome
Schnörkel 13 Jan, 2015 @ 4:05am 
I also think that the shortswords should benefit from the bladesman perk and not from the assassin's blade perk, if this was changed I would play with your mod.

Hiya, would it be possible to get the console codes for each sword please? :-)

Thank you; fantastic mod! #LovingZeeShortswords.

Disappointed that Armsman does nothing. I was about to hit that Subscribe button until I saw that. I don't need a "bigger dagger" for anything.

I don't know if you can change it, but if you made it so that short swords gained at least half of the Armsman benefit and only half of Assassin's Blade, that would have been a fine compromise.

Also, I'm fine with just crafting them. A non leveled list version would be perfect for me, but I am not going to another site for it. I only want to use the Steam Workshop.

~~~Disclaimer~~~
I understand that I am only one person to you, and you may not wish to make the changes I desire. That's totally okay, and I won't hold it against you. I also won't be using the mod. I really liked the idea behind the mod, and it still has lots of potential to be something special, so please don't feel discouraged. I merely wanted to provide a bit of feedback for you.

Heavy Armory replaces this mod. All the shortswords and more are also available in the Heavy Armory.
I'm way overdue in updating the description to this mod :D
Vasthe 14 Aug, 2014 @ 12:37pm 
Does this follows in your "privateeyes amory" mod?
sromshek 11 Aug, 2014 @ 11:17am 
I love your work.I was wondering if you would consider working on the glass swords from oblivion?The ones for skyrim look so vanilla.
SocialAnxiety 6 Aug, 2014 @ 7:40pm 
this has alot of potential
:I 14 Jul, 2014 @ 1:42pm 
Nightengale short sword plz;)
sromshek 13 Jul, 2014 @ 7:50pm 
This is amazing!I loved oblivions short swords.I had wondered why they didn't incorperate this in skyrim.Do you have a mod to incorperate all the weapons from oblivion and armor?That would be epic,but so is this.My first ever mod download thanks!!!!

@ PrivateEye: Can you or are you going to add short swords for dragon bone and for the dragon born DLC?
God of Urging 10 Jun, 2014 @ 3:45am 
Yes. Shortswords are generally a good thing to have. Especially since the Empire is based on the Roman Empire, whose legionaries used shortswords to make them more effective against the rest of Europe, who relied on longswords, and ended up at a disadvantage when a shortsword wearing legionary got nice and close in order to negate their reach advantage. Babbling aside, I'd always wished there were more shortswords in Skyrim (the Imperial sword looks like the smith couldn't decide whether to make it short or long).
McDergan 7 Jun, 2014 @ 6:40pm 
Awesome. I always used short swords in Morrowind and Oblivion. I hate how the newer games cut out content like short swords and how they just merged together the leggings and cuirasses into just armor i preferred it when i could wear elven leggings with a dwarven cuirass.

Perfect mix between the good assassin and the "Shit went down" assassin
Happy-Birb 2 Mar, 2014 @ 10:25am 
Maybe dawnguard and dragonborn add ons (dragon bone and stalthrim)
Mokin 28 Feb, 2014 @ 3:56am 
now all we need is a spear or poleaxe and the elderscrolls amory is complete
Instructions Unclear 22 Feb, 2014 @ 7:10pm 
can you also add a stalhrim version?
John Kagurabachi 21 Feb, 2014 @ 10:45pm 
add all perks for shortswords
Instructions Unclear 15 Feb, 2014 @ 11:21pm 
Will you add a dragonborn version so we can have dragon bone shortswords?
Instructions Unclear 15 Feb, 2014 @ 11:18pm 
they are more like large daggers instead of shortswords but they are still incredibily cool
PrivateEye  [author] 14 Feb, 2014 @ 10:48am 
@ayydan
Should be under Steel

@tanner
You can forge them or find them on Draugr
ayjojojo 13 Feb, 2014 @ 6:20pm

it beats the meat 11 Feb, 2014 @ 11:39am

it beats the meat 11 Feb, 2014 @ 11:37am 
private eye where can i find an ancient nord short sword
Wimby 5 Jan, 2014 @ 4:01pm 
there so adorable
PrivateEye  [author] 4 Jan, 2014 @ 1:56am 
@darnathe
No, the shortsword weapon would still use the stell textures. The texture path for the mesh has to be changed so he points to the new Skyforge textures.
darnathe 3 Jan, 2014 @ 8:43pm 
I have subscribed to a mod by the name of Skyforge Weapons by Dreogan. This mod just retextures the skyforge weapons to be unique from standard weapons. I'm not sure if you have skyforge shortswords (I think i saw it mentioned in your patch notes) but if you do, would it be compatible with Skyforge Weapons?
Kotommi 3 Jan, 2014 @ 12:38pm 
I very much like the mod. It gives a nice finishing touch to the certain classes as you described. Also, (overflow of good memories incoming) you mentioned simplifications. I instantly started thinking back to the "good ol' times" of Morrowind and Oblivion. They were so immersing and interesting, full of discovery and diversity. Now that Skyrim has been out for a while, I really cannot remember that many things which gave the... unique feeling to the game. I mean it's still a great game, but after a while all that it seems to have is snow, draugr and those flying scale-covered-and-over-sized lighters. Having different things to look out for (was it a creature or, for example, the condition of your armor) made those worlds feel more complex and more alive.

Sgt Dr.KillJoy :)

Oblivion had short swords.
Dominus Logik 28 Dec, 2013 @ 12:01am 
oblivion did not have short swords but morrowind did
ElCroquetero98 26 Dec, 2013 @ 11:34am 
Are the shortswords benefit from the fortify one-handed weapons enchantment?Are you going to add dragonbone shortswords?
Wes 17 Nov, 2013 @ 5:16pm 
There are no 'draugr' short swords. I haven't done companion to see if you can craft any or that sort. searching the console with the keyword shortsword does not show any sort of nord, draugr, honed, or skyforge type shortsword. Also I have been killing a lot of draugr and have never seen it.
CasuallyChallenged 9 Nov, 2013 @ 9:25am 
NEVERMIND! I did not look at enough pics! SUBED! :D
CasuallyChallenged 9 Nov, 2013 @ 9:22am 
Are they not in the pictures?
PrivateEye  [author] 9 Nov, 2013 @ 9:21am 
Heavy Amory does have both shortsword and One handed hammers. They're called Mauls;)
CasuallyChallenged 9 Nov, 2013 @ 9:18am 
Yeah... it has everything BUT one handed hammers :) If you add the short swords and one handed hammers to it I would love to subscribe to it but all I am looking for is lore friendly one handed hammers that have the stats of a mace but look like the hammers just... one handed.

I am playing a character based on Thor but apparently no one makes one handed hammers in Skyrim? Why WHY?! (And yes I know there are Mjolner mods... not what I am looking for. I just want Skyrim friendly one handed hammers)
PrivateEye  [author] 9 Nov, 2013 @ 7:57am 
@CasuallyChallanged
Check out my Heavy Armory mod. It's exactly that!:)
CasuallyChallenged 8 Nov, 2013 @ 4:46pm 
Could you make a mod for one handed hammers in the same style as this mod? I can find no hammers anywhere!
DontUseSpaces 18 Oct, 2013 @ 1:38am 
Amazing, amazing, amazing! I love this. thanks you so much for all your hard work put into this. i'm looking forward to furture add-on's. :D
Frankenstein 4 Oct, 2013 @ 10:38am 
Awesome, thx!
PrivateEye  [author] 4 Oct, 2013 @ 10:19am 
@VictorFrankenstein
Download the mod from the Nexus. There's a "craftable-only" .esp in the download that does just that.
