didnt know you hade an updated vertion

And you should download a newer version I made, found here!: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=709100253

you should have it like laying down instead of it like stabed into the skeleton

The version you will find at the spot marked on the map has a fire enchant. There is another version which can only be added through the console which does not have an enchant.

hahahh fair enough, does it have enchants? i prefer to play without enchants, but its a cool looking blade and i could always just mount it somewhere if it does

It wouldnt be very ancient if you could just craft it! 'Brand-new Greatsword' doesnt have the same ring to it.

can you make it craftable?

Alright.

Yes. There is an unenchanted version that can be added through the console, however.

Is it supposed to have that flame enchantment on it? I was hoping to enchant it myself...

reminds me of that one sword from the sheogorath realm dlc for oblivion, i forget its name, and i like that idea of the "lost sword" Karliah mentioned

fixed it, thanks

Try checking if the mod appears in the Skyrim launcher at all, or if you can find it in the console.

sword is not appearing for me

That sounds pretty damn cool! Frankly, im honored that you think my silly mod is worthy of something like that.

I might (If you don't mind) create a mod that adds a book to the location of the Wayward Blade with a back story. For personal use at first but then maybe branching out into multiple back-stories for people to read.

Thats good. I like that people ascribe their own story to it, which is why i deliberately avoided trying to tell it myself.

I do wish the texture had turned out better though, but thats how it is with old work.

@LordRawr I have to confess that because of some opf your dungeon images I thought tis might be like a backstory of a Blade that lost his way and became known by history as "The Wayward Blade"

@LordRawr Was that an intentional inuendo?

A bunch of different things inspired the idea of the sword itself which sadly i cant portray properly in Skyrim (its effect, purpose and story, basically). The design however is an altered version of the Blade of Prophecy from Diablo 3 which i thought looked appealing.

Also, who doesnt like swinging around an oversized sword?

@LordRawr I'd be intrested in knowing what inspired the Wayward Blade.

I dont know the specifics as i am a heretic who never played Oblivion, but although you are probably also right on that count, thanks to Winter for pointing out a cool parallel even though the design of the sword was inspired by something completely different.

@LordRawr I also beleive it was Fire in the day and FROST at night, not Shock as @Winter suggests. Again may the nine smite me down if I'm wrong.

You are correct, Karliah. You may keep your soul... for now.

@Winter I think you're wrong. If I remember correctly it was DawnFANG and Duskfang not Dawntusk. If I'm wrong may the nine strike me down to be tomented forever by Merhuns Dagon.

Okay, in Shivering Isles, there was a one-handed sword, with two blades, very much like this one. The reason for the two names, was that at sunrise and sunset, the sword would transform so that at night it had a blue gem set in the hilt and did shock damage becoming Duskfang and during the day, it had an orange gem and did fire damage, becoming Dawntusk.

Dawntusk/Duskfang was very similar in look to this, except it had a snake theme to it, since its backstory was that it had been brought to Tamriel during the Akiviri invasions and was made by the Vampire Snake people of Akivir.

I dont know those swords, but i'll consider that a good thing :>

It actually reminds me very strongly of Dawntusk/Duskfang from the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion

what joke?

Get the joke though?

The story of the sword is for you to decide.

Did Kanas forge the blade?

There was no item called Ancient Greatsword in existance before, no. I should probably have stuck with the same name of the item as for the mod, though- it was an earlier name which i happened to not change.

Ancient Greatsword? Unless there wasn't one before? I thought maybe since it's called that instead of Wayward Blade.. that maybe it replaced something called an Ancient Greatsword. I'm probably thinking of Ancient something else : ]

It should not replace anything. Have you found something missing?

Thanks Lord mate, I did find it in the end, silly me didn't realise it was a replacment mod D: still looks decent though.

@Pulse yes, write help 'Ancient Greatsword' in the console and you should get two versions of it, with and without enchant.

does it have an item code ? e.g. player.additem xxxxxxxx 1

Slightly updated the texture aswell as significantly improved the specular and normal maps. Enjoy.

nice sword

very nice double handed slicer, just the upgrading with expensive and rare ruby jewel is difficult to find...

I have published an update that should make the sword upgradeable aswell as improving the nif files. Please let me know if anything is not working.

Happy

This is a very wicked and cool weapon! Well done indeed.

A 2 handed, bifurcated, blade. Interesting. will give it a go. Well done.

its pretty cool but it cfould shoot lazers for an amazing weapon

i love this sword it's not op and it goes great with my dedric warrior set

Cool

Would it be possible for you to make a craftable one-handed version that requires Daedric Smithing?

Nice, very nice. :)
