A collection of weapons from the Dragon Age universe. These are not ports of the original meshes and textures, but new ones made from scratch. As such, they have higher poly counts (1k - 12k) and higher texture resolutions (1k-4k).

Made using 3ds Max 2011/2012, Photoshop CS4, and Mudbox 2012.

Credit to Bioware for the original weapon designs.

The unique named versions of the weapons are placed throughout Skyrim. Locations are listed below.

-Weapons:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vigilance Longsword/Greatsword - Top of Refugee's Rest/ Top of South Skybound Watch

You'll need a couple dragon scales, a dragon bone, a diamond, 5 steel ingots, and dragon armor smithing to craft this (listed under Dragon). An additional ingot and scale are needed to temper.

Stat-wise, they are slightly stronger than Skyforge Steel, weigh a couple pounds more, and have better crit stats.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starfang Longsword/Greatsword - Top of Nilheim/Top of Rlbthar

To craft, grab Refined Malachite, an Orichalcum Ingot, a Corundum Ingot, some Iron Ore (space ore!), 3 Leather Strips, and the Orcish Smithing Perk. You'll need an additional Orichalcum Ingot to temper.

Stat-wise, they have less raw power than daedric, higher crit chance and damage, weigh a few pounds less, swing a little faster, and have a lower value.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finesse and Spider's Heart Dagger - At the Morrowind gate east of Riften past Blackbriar's. Held by a lvl26 Foreigner up the mountain path.

You cannot craft Spider's Heart or Finesse, but you can craft standard versions of them using 2 Steel Ingots, an Iron Ingot, a few Leather Strips, and the Steel Smithing Perk. Both are listed under Steel.

You'll need a Steel Ingot to temper Finesse and Refined Malachite for Spider's Heart along with their respective smithing perks. Standard variants just need a Steel Ingot.

Stats:
Finesse: About on par with Skyforge Steel Daggers with slightly better crit stats and longer reach.
Spider's Heart: About on par with Glass Daggers with slightly better crit stats and longer reach.
Dalish and Long Steel Dagger: About on par with Steel Daggers with slightly better crit stats and longer reach.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Staff of Parthalan (also has a greatsword variant) - The Midden Dark's cellar. Held by two skeletons.

Neither the staff nor the sword can be forged. You will have to defeat their owners in The Midden Dark (coc winterholdcollegemidden02). If you get to the gauntlet, they're in that cellar area past the goat. The owners are level 26, so prepare accordingly.

You'll need an iron ingot, steel ingot, and leather strips to temper the sword. The staff, well, it's a staff. No tempering there.

The sword has the dps of a Skyforge Steel Greatsword (lower damage, faster swing).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Murder Knife - Just North of Riverwood on the mountain side next to its last victim. You may need to scour the ground to find it. Apparently, it doesn't want to stay in the poor guy's back.

The unique variant can be found northeast of Riverwood (just right out of town) in the back of its last victim (who is currently lying on a boulder). See video for exact location. If you have the "Dovahkiin Hideout" and "Spend Dragon Souls for Perks" mods installed, it is on the same side of the river between the stones and the hideout entrance.

To craft, you'll need the same ingredients as a steel dagger, but with a few more leather strips. To temper both variants, you'll need a steel ingot.

Stats: The unique variant has better raw damage, crit damage, and weighs a pound less than a steel dagger. It also uses Ghostblade's and Valdr's Lucky Dagger's enchantments to apply armor-ignoring damage and have a 25% chance to inflict a critical hit. The standard variant is still better than a steel dagger, but the improvements are toned down a bit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chasind Great Hammer/Thorval's Luck - Craftable/Found in the world

The unqique variant can be found wielded by a Forsworn in Lost Valley Redoubt.

To craft, you'll need Dwarven Smithing (listed under dwarven), an iron ingot, a couple steel ingots, a couple iron ores, and several leather strips. An additional steel ingot and iron ore are required to temper both the standard and unique variants.

Stats: Chasind has slightly lower stats than a dwarven hammer while Thorval's has slightly higher. Thorval's has an enchantment that will absorb health and stamina as well as lower the target's damage resistance. I had wanted it to boost hp, health regen, and damage resist like the originals, but the Creation Kit does not allow those types of enchantments on weapons.

Regarding the visual differences: The original Chasind Hammer was a supersaturated, shiny red while Thorva'ls was "normal". I opted not to oversaturate and "polish" the Chasind Hammer. It is still red, but not overly so.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ash Warrior War Axe/The Veshialle - Craftable/Found in the world

The unique variant can be found wielded by a Wood Elf in Weynon Stones.

To craft, you'll need Steel Smithing (listed under Steel), an iron ingot, a steel ingot, and several leather strips. An additional steel ingot is required to temper both the standard and unique variants.

Stats: The Ash Warrior War Axe has similar stats to Steel while The Veshialle has elven-ish stats. Both have been tweaked to have slightly higher critical and attack stats.

Differences: The Veshialle has red leather and a shock enchantment that slows enemies down. The Ash Warrior War Axe has brown leather and no enchantment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ornate Dwarven Hammer/Valos Atredum - Craftable/Found in the world

The unique variant can be found wielded by an Afflicted in Bthardamz.

There are two versions: Valos Atredum (not craftable or enchantable) and Ornate Dwarven Warhammer (craftable and enchantable; listed under Dwarven). Valos is based off of the original from Dragon Age Origins - Awakening. So, blue stones with a steel body. The Ornate Dwarven Warhammer was designed to look similar to Dwemer weapons. So, rubies with a dwemer metal body.

To craft, you'll need the same ingredients as a dwarven hammer, but with a handful of rubies and the spell Transmute (got to explain small rubies to large rubies somehow).

To temper: The ornate variant needs a dwarven ingot. Valos Atredum needs moonstone and steel ingots.

Stats: The ornate variant has Dwarven Warhammer stats while Valos Atredum weights a couple pounds less, swings slightly faster, does more critical damage (approx 36% more), has double the crit % mult, and does slightly more raw damage.

If you use any mods that alter gem textures, the Ornate variant might look different as it uses the same textures.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qunari Weapons/Bassrath-Kata - Craftable/Obtainable through quest

To craft, you'll need Steel Smithing and some of the following (depending on weapon): Sapphire, Leather strips, Steel ingots, Iron ingots. You cannot craft the Staff or Staffsword. They are reward-only. Should you want to add them manually, open the console and type "help bassrath". They should be the last two entries.

To temper the blades, you'll need steel ingots. Given bow damage comes from arrows (mostly), there's no tempering.

The unique variants have an enchantment that drains stamina, has a chance to stagger, a chance to instantly kill, and does extra damage to humans.

Stats: Qunari (standard) variants are based on Skyforge Steel weapons. The unique variants have higher critical damage, critical chance, stagger chance, and are a bit lighter.

You can start a quest to obtain the unique variants Southwest of Northwatch Keep.

*The original bow from DA2 is a longbow, but I had issues getting the bow weighted and working let alone scaling it up and hoping the skeleton would be compatible with the animations.

The unique variant can be found North of the Wreck Of The Brinehammer, underwater, under a log. See video for exact location.
