📋 About This Mod
Adds 12 glaives (bladed polearm weapons) to the game. Featuring vanilla aesthetics. Complete with crafting recipes and leveled list.
Glaive Danger adds craftable two-handed glaives to Skyrim, originally designed for VR horseback combat. These weapons offer 1.5x the reach of a greatsword, use vanilla assets, and are compatible with both VR and flat-screen play. Includes three world-placed glaives and an optional Animated Armory patch for pike animations.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Great for VR players who want effective melee from horseback—these glaives have 1.5x the reach of a greatsword.
- Uses vanilla assets and textures, so they blend seamlessly and work with any retexture mods you already have.
- Solid community support with 154 endorsements and over 7,600 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only greatsword damage—if you're looking for a damage boost, this isn't it, just reach.
- The unique glaive is hidden behind a clue, so you'll have to explore to find it—not for those who want everything handed to them.
- Potential compatibility issues with mods that alter greatsword animations or weapon reach, since it relies on those systems.
For Skyrim VR players who want a more effective melee option on horseback, or flat-screen players who enjoy polearm-style combat with a twist. Also great for collectors who like hunting down unique weapons. Skip if you want high-damage weapons or aren't interested in reach-based combat.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the Animated Armory patch, make sure to load it after the main mod and after Animated Armory itself.
- The glaives use greatsword animations by default, so they'll feel familiar—try the pike animations if you want a different feel.
- Look for the clue in Sleeping Giant Inn to start your hunt for the unique glaive—it's a fun little quest.
