Quote:Size of the shield in Skyrim does matter I think. It is covered with a collision mesh that stops arrows and I think also sword blows. At the moment the only plan I have is a for a Gallic style oval shield.Okay, that's pretty cool. I remember the shield feeling quite weighty, but I couldn't remember if it was more complicated than a basic damage reducer. That sounds like it could be quite flexible. Hopefully a curved, rectangular scutum would be an option at some point (although the Gallic oval shield is closer to the normal shield in game in use).
Good luck with the rest of the project, look forward to seeing more!
