transparent glass sheilds

Negrodomous · Post by **Negrodomous** » Sun Sep 19, 2004 3:44 am

a dude, Dongle, made a glass display case and a transparent greenhouse dome. so there could be a transparent glass (or forcefeild) type sheild. they could be similer to the sheilds that the jakals hold in halo.

How do they produce the glass for glass armour? Does anyone know what they do to it to make it so powerful? What do they do while creating the glass?

the glass comes from a glass mine, (Duhh) no one said it was powerfull, it could be like the normal glass sheild, but transparent where there is glass

The green glass in Morrowind was forged by ancient dunmer.. or something like that.. with a special material from Red Mountain.. and the craft has been lost... i'm paraphrasing from memory so don't quote me

I am perfectly aware of where the glass comes from. My question is what do they to do the glass to harden it to the point that it can be used as armour.

Also, the raw glass/glass armour is all green, but that there are windows and glass objects of other types that look normal, so they must have knowledge of glass blowing and making normal glass from sand.

Edit: The eyeroll/reply wasn't for you, Morden. You just beat me to replying. I sorry!

I think that he just meant similar in style to the ones from Halo, in that they were transparent shields that looked cool (I can't remember what they look like, I'm just assuming that's what he meant.)

Your thought of a "Ghostfence" shield gave me an idea; why not have a shield that is magical in nature, formed of moving magic in a material like the Ghostfence. And it will have high armour class, but instead of losing condition when hit, it would drain your mana reserves instead. When you have no magicka to power it, it turns off and leaves you more vulnerable.

(I don't think that there's any way that can be done with the game, but it's a nifty idea.)

Actually, Glass is different than the normal glass in our windows. Its a volcanic crystal.

i made a clear glass sheild. but it wouldnt fit in TR it more like a riot police sheild. its for my modern mod. but its all very possible

Shadowmoon, are you the one making modern morrowind?

anyway, arth, im not talking about the window glass, im talking about the green glass that mordin said cant be made anymore, because the art is lost. but a man in mournhold will make glass armor for you if you have the raw glass. if the art has been lost, how is that guy still making it?

Oh, I wasnt talking to you. I think someone suggested that it was window glass before your post.

And the pretense for using something like that:

You get the framework for a shield, which is basically useless. Add soul gem, wizardy smithy type, presto. Soul-powered shield. Make it powerful, but don't allow enchantments on it for balance (since it's "enchantment" is a physical manifestation).
