Skyrim players have been locked in discussion lately, with many gamers online debating about the best-looking weapon in the game. There are plenty of different weapons and armor in Skyrim for gamers to add to their arsenal, but some are more visually pleasing than others.
It's a huge statement about Skyrim's longevity that gamers continue to discuss topics about the title online. It seems like there's a debate about every single element of Skrim, with no true consensus reached about most things almost twelve years after the game was first released. Just recently, Skyrim players were discussing the game's most underrated locations, a conversation that most fans seemed to have a different answer for. There are even some gamers still discussing Oblivion online, so it appears Skyrim can remain relevant even after The Elder Scrolls 6 is finally released at some point in the future.

Redditor Inevitable-Lab-9813 started the discussion, which got the users talking. They began by bringing up Volendrung, received from the Daedric Prince Malacath in the game. Another user mentioned Sanguine Rose which saw a lot of agreement, as well as Dawnbreaker. All of these items have one thing in common. They're all Daedric artifacts in Skyrim, which feature unique designs and were given extra attention during development by Bethesda. They stand out even among the sea of generic iron and steel swords that litter the game's dungeons.
There was generally a lot of variety featured in the thread. Another commenter mentioned the Daedric daggers. This is interesting because it's a weapon that has been featured in many fan creations in the past, with one Skyrim gamer creating an impressive real-life Daedric dagger. Every fan has their own way of enjoying the game. Some take it as it is and just enjoy the game, while others find ways to bring it into their real lives in many cool ways.
Hopefully, Bethesda is successful when it comes to weapon designs in The Elder Scrolls 6. Ultimately, it's a fantasy series, so there is plenty of creative license for the studio to get a little bit crazy with it. It's clear that Skyrim featured plenty of designs that ended up being fan favorites, and if the sequel is to have similar longevity, it will likely need to go down that same road. Giving fans something to talk about is one of the most important elements of keeping gamers engaged, and Bethesda has shown itself to be the master of that over the years.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
