Lulu Ashfield Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 I used to play a game called Alundra 2 BAAAACK on the PS1 where the main character Flint wore this shield on his left arm while wielding a 2 handed sword Is there a mod that provides a shield-like gauntlet? And I mean it like A SHIELD THAT TAKES THE GLOVES SLOT!!! Shield is just there for aesthetics!!! Any help/mod link/someone stepping up to do create such a mod for me is much appreciated XD XD Here's an image that explains exactly what I mean
winny257 Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 a shield on the arm is that most unrealistic what is gives! something like that only exists in asia games! Spoiler
SmedleyDButler Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 ??? no? Plenty of small historical duelling shields worked like that. Impractical for fights using heavy swords, but against lighter swords, they worked perfectly fine. Google "Buckler" (or, if you're looking for mods, google "Skyrim Buckler").

Spoiler the only exception, the I found. this only applies to spearmen.
GodSmack Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 If I'm correct you want a Gauntlet, A glove, that takes the shield slot and is used as a shield. If so I don't think one exists and you are out of luck, nothing like that exists anywhere and you will need a fortune to to get someone to even consider making one...

winny257 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 here is a buckler shield mod, but as I said, by the hand. the slot can be changed, if you have a little modding experience.

Hide contents Yeah yeah, unrealistic you say? And Elves once ruled Skyrim, and Talos is just a man, and sloots invaded Tamriel and wolves enslave Dragonborns XD XD Nothing in Skyrim makes sense or is 100% real, which is why I play Else I would ave dumbed it LOOOOONG AGO!!! And technically speaking, strapping/attaching the buckler to one's arm may limit a bit, but I can see it's uses with archers who require using both hands and might need an occasional cover if they can't duck or dodge behind a rock or something... Also, if I recall, Batman uses his arms both as weapons and shield ((Talking about Christoper Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy)) and even Kratos from GOD OF WAR uses the 'Golden Fleece' as a shield of sorts, so the concept does exist, so why not make it a shield-Gauntlet instead of just a Gauntlet ?

Buckler mods use the same concept as the normal shield. They cannot be equipped and used with two handed weapons 11 hours ago, winny257 said: yes right, but also Buckler were with led by hand, and not on the arm. Reveal hidden contents the only exception, the I found. this only applies to spearmen. That spear guy reminded me of Nisetanaka's Amazing World of Bikini though....it was the 'Steel Targe' if I am not mistaken and it was a shoulder piece ((Can't seem to find a picture of it though, and I am lazy right now, so maybe I will install it it and post a picture later?? AND GOD!!! Amidst the 42 pages of images on the mod page on NXS, I can't find an image-showcase of it!!! just LOTS OF BOOBIES AND NUDIES! Where's the important stuff when u need it XD ?)) Now this small discussion made me do some googling around and I ran into this interesting article Spoiler http://myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=9575 And from this article, I read a bit about shields, bucklers, targes and guiges. So here's my conclusion: => SHIELD: Big, moderate maneuverability, held in the arm-grip. Doesn't provide flexibility when being held with another weapon in hand, but some exceptions may apply => BUCKLER: Small shield that gives more maneuverability and held in the arm-grip. Provides a bit better flexibility when be held with another weapon in hand, but not always => TARGE: A shield/Buckler-like piece strapped on the arm and/or arm-grip, which allows flexibility to hold another weapon on the same hand/arm => GUIGES: Shields strapped on the shoulder. I also read that it's a strap that a warrior would strap his shield on to 'unequip' the shield so he could use two handed weapons when needed and 'equip' it back when necessary. A small article on wikipedia I read said so anyway...:P Talk about unrealistic 10 hours ago, GodSmack said: If I'm correct you want a Gauntlet, A glove, that takes the shield slot and is used as a shield.

MUCH APPRECIATED my dear friend ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ I admit, I wasn't very much interested in the subject, but the discussion piqued my curiosity and I learned something new now, and more knowledge is always better, so thanks ALL

Spoiler the only exception, the I found. this only applies to spearmen. He said he wanted it as a gauntlet... Anyway, as was pointed out, a targe would be what you'd look for if you wanted a shield worn on the arm. In any case, it's easy to change an equipment slot (just google a tutorial), but making it so you can block while still using a two-handed weapon would be a different project entirely.
