If throwing weapons were added, I think it would just be additions to the existing tress maybe.

IE: Throwing a spear requires two hands, so have it scale with that tree, Depending on if its a short spear or not.

That way throwing knives and stuff could go in one handed, add a bit of variety to the lineup.

I loved it when they added throwing weapons to Fallout, I just wish they were more readily available

Replaying again as a spellsword, Fun so far, using conjuration mainly, working up enchanting while I'm at it.

throwing a spear requires two hands? o.0
how is it even possible to throw one with two hands

[Kevin]

Ah goofed it up.

A two handed spear you couldn't throw, it would be much to heavy.

Throwing spears are much much shorter, and weighted differently. So it would be one handed.

[Fredulus]

i guess they could fit throwing weapons into existing trees but i'd prefer a new one

[The True Zephyr]

Bump because I got Dawnguard. So what mods should I try out?

[Jairo]

pretty sure two handed spears are called staves

[The True Zephyr]

A spear is a spear, regardless of how many hands you hold it with. Staves are pretty much long sticks without a point at the end, and are used more often for whacking than piercing skin.

[Wynd_Fox]

pretty sure two handed spears are called staves

Um, no. As Zephyr said, spears are spears. "Staves" is the plural of "staff."

[Man 2]

Staff: Two- or one-handed weapon, no point at the end, used for bludgeoning

Spear: Two-handed weapon, point at the end, used for thrusting and stabbing

Javelin: One-handed weapon, point at the end, used for throwing

Lance: One-handed weapon, point at the end, used for charging on horseback

Glaive: Two-handed weapon, single-edged blade at the end, used for chopping and slicing

Halberd: Two-handed weapon, single-edged axe at end with long point at top, used for both chopping and thrusting


And this isn't nearly a complete list.

Staves are for hitting, spears are for thrusting, javelins are for throwing. Now can we all stop arguing?

None of this is real, I'm sure that if you interviewed whoever did the jar textures, they'd tell you that they just through them on there to forget with people, probably the same for all the little runes on the houses and stuff.

People always delve so deep into conspiracies and the people who created the basis of the conspiracy never thought as far into the things.

[Jairo]

I'd rather hype the stuff outta this than just sit around and wait to see what happens
being involved and forming theories is what I love about most games today (such as tf2 or portal or something)

The runes are explained by an in-game book. They're called shadowrunes or something lame like that. They tell the thieve's guild stuff.
