Gee. It looks so cute, and it goes with lore. can we keep it, please?

it looks cool, but it's a generic high-fantasy dagger. It's not really in keeping with the game, at least not in the immediate provinces

It would make a nice unique ebony dagger. Perhaps for the absolute highest rank in the Dark Brotherhood.

Probably, the Daedra. The Daedric weapons are known for their many decorations, such as spikes, extra blades, etc.

If you changed those metal spikes to talon things it would be very Orcish.

There is text in game that mehrunes' razor was closely associated with the leadership of the dark brotherhood.

it looks evil, but like I was saying on another thhread like this, the notched blade is pure vanity with no thought for function, and as such is not something that a deadly guild of assasins would use. The notches would only serve to catch against flesh when it is so far in, making it needlessly difficult to make deep wounds.
Maybe if the notch at the tip were filled in it would be passable; you could even say the notches around the shoulder are stoppers, but you don't often find them on short blades like daggers.

The notch makes a more ragged wound which wouldnt heal as well, i guess.

a little maybe, but that's what serrated edges are for, and they do a much better job. Plus, if this is for the Brotherhood, they're not going to want their quarry to live long enough for their wounds to heal in any case. You usually find those kind of blades on weapons intended for full scale battles that may take days.
I reckon this weapon would be pretty good for the brotherhood if you filled in the notch and maybe blacked the blade

I think that the notch in the end should be filled, since those side-wings are much more 'rippy' than having a little durability-decreasing slit. The loss of longevity would outweigh any minor benefits.

The Dark Brotherhood seemed to use adamantium weapons. This blade doesn't fit with the typical adamantium style of having the crossguard bend away from the blade. It does fit with the orcish style of having the crossguard have short spikes prjecting in the direction of the blade.

I would also like to point out that both Orcish Daggers in WoT are not Daggers. (edit: Issue resolved on IRC, Weapons will be renamed)

ooh cool, I didn't know there were new orcish weapons in WoT. are there any screenshots you could post of them?
I agree that it looks more like an orcish dagger than anything else, and god knows more orcish weapons are needed

I thought it looked Daedra, if you change the blade color to the normal Daedraic blade type it fits in better.

maybe if you retextured the hilt. At the moment it's got that greenish tint to the metal like orcish stuff does. I still don't like the blade though, but it could be worse

Now that I think about it it does look far more daedric than anything, and the only existing daedric daggers are in fact not daggers...they are curved. This is more in the dagger ballpark by Morrowind standards.

I don't think it fits the ES universe at all. It is too gaudy even for Daedric.

I have to say, I agree with dexter. It just doesn't seem the kind of thing that Bethesda would make

i type 'tamriel-rebulit' on google and that came up. Anyway if you change the blade to a more Daedric type it goes much better. really. Or maybe we could use it as a artifact?

it kind of look imperal. or, it could be a custom armor, I had a quest where in each provance you do one easy quest and in the end you get his armor as a reward. I was thinking this could be that armor.....

File then save as then under the filename there is a format drop-down. Right now it should say bmp. Change it to JPG. If that doesn't work, save it as (name).JPG
