A New Lunar Forge? - Silent Moons Weapons | Skyrim Creations

[@ElfenDrago]

the following mods do a better job than this for lunar weapons and forge the only unique thing is weapon models staff shield and location which in my opinion can be improved upon New Armory Series - Lunar Steel Weapons -- A Silent Moons Camp Overhaul and Lunar enchantment and spells and Lunar Flame - Silent Moon Enchant

[@Archangelgamer1997]

Legacy of the Dragonborn also has unique Lunar weapons

[@Ashanius]

@@Archangelgamer1997 And Serenity from the Lawbringer series has a massive rework of the Silent moon camp include a new pseudo-quest.

[@MadveD12]

You can't find one-handed sword because is a bug. It has "initially disabled" flag. Speaking of his creation, yes, he looks very anticlimactic. Free "New Armory Series - Lunar Steel Weapons" mod looks like a much better alternative.

[@0periodproductions]

Yeah, that makes this whole experience even worse. But at least now I'm validated that I didn't miss anything

[@chaserseven2886]

I kinda wish this location was in silent moons camp like underneath it maybe the bandits broke through it?

[@jamo3129]

Thank you for taking the time to do detailed coverage and point out the bugs. I fully agree that real shame not able to craft the weapons as the dagger I think looks great.

[@BeeberIsBack]

dude Adam "The Rizzler" Ridsdale has been a Bethesda partner since 2018, He made the "Tunnel Snakes Rule!", and "Zetan Arsenal" Creation's for Fallout 4 and he is also on the America Rising 2 Dev team, I'm pretty sure they "scouted" him

[@0periodproductions]

I didn't realize how long they had been around, I just liked the username in the context of the verified creators program

[@BeeberIsBack]

@@0periodproductions Yeah its a dope name

[@kassandra2049]

Rizzler also made the the hunting revolver and the laer for fallout 4

[@wardenleo281]

I am reading he is 1/3 so far. Tunnel Snake Rules is alright.

[@JBKShadow09]

This being $1 less than the East Empire Company Expansion is outrageous

[@Samantha_Says]

I miss the Creation Club. I feel like Verified Creations are much more overpriced, plus the fact that Creation Club was official content really did a lot of heavy lifting for me in enjoying them as new additions to the game.

[@0periodproductions]

I would prefer we get Creation Club for Starfield instead of Creations. I just don't have much confidence in this program moving forward unless Bethesda steps in and sets new rules and standards.

[@Samantha_Says]

@@0periodproductions The interesting thing is BGS do have a lot more collaboration on these than you'd expect. They've offered suggestions to people, and if you want to use the "lore friendly" tag then they'll assess your Creation to see if it's actually lore friendly. Like I said, the "official" label really meant a lot to me when it came to the feeling of new content, more than I realised. That and I'm never going to be getting all of the Verified Creations due to a personal dislike of one of the Verified Creators.

[@diewott1337]

Eh, to me it just feels like Creation Club but more expensive. I never looked at Creation Club as official content in any way.

[@allenellisdewitt]

@@0periodproductions Worried about an Atari effect, agreed

[@LuckyFilmer]

@@diewott1337 Most creation club content was made by Bethesda themselves. If that isn't official I don't know what is.

[@michaelbullington3182]

I had a terrible day today, George. Gratitude for your cheering me up with the video. Been watching off and on for years.

[@SilverSurrepstitious]

I woulda made the dungeon have a boss at the end or something, a wispmother would have worked too

[@nathanbentley1939]

I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this, but I seriously feel like these weapons look more like they belong in Disney's Frozen than they do TES.

[@JBKShadow09]

I agree, they look more like toys than weapons to me. No disrespect to the creator but they look completely out of place IMO.

[@wod5203]

Nope, they look just plain useless, impractical and unwieldy.. and stupid to make them fall a notch below standard Bethesda weapon designs.

[@liammack4592]

Only the staff and dagger look good. Others look fucking stupid.

[@theannihilator8800]

I don't understand how creation club mods are worse than free mods on the nexus

[@chaserseven2886]

Bro hasn’t seen the video yet

[@theannihilator8800]

Listen to him agreeing with me in the end

[@lastexile6924]

I guess its the Bethesda rules that these modders have to follow, on Nexus they have much more freedom to developed there own ideas.

[@theannihilator8800]

@@lastexile6924 dude just look at that dwarven horse creation, or basically forgotten seasons, now that's effort

[@0periodproductions]

I don't think there's necessarily too many limitations in terms of scope. East Empire Expansion adds voiced characters and a new gameplay feature. If anything I think it's one of the standards that other creators in this program should be aiming for, especially given some of the price points I've been seeing.

[@MLPDethDealr32]

With the New Armory mods by Private Eyes you not only get an overhaul to the Bandit camp, also a Book and small quest that leads you to an ancient Vampire thats been locked in that dungeon for hundreds of years.

[@kuraikusanagi7892]

There really should have been more to this. A quest where you gather like 20 fire salts or something, maybe once you reach the forge you fight a frost giant or some other ice based monster. After killing it, you then have to collect the salts to warm the forge back up, which also thaws the area. You could also find ore veins that have unique ore that is used to make the weapons and shield. Heck, why not make moon inspired armor too, both light and heavy? Way too much wasted potential with this one... *Edited for a couple misspelled words*

[@elizawulf8180]

It's weird because theRizzler made some of my favorite Fallout 4 weapons mods, and the Zetan Weapons Pack.

[@allenellisdewitt]

What's with the AI at the start, with those two wolves? 3:01 What is with that first page??, also 7:54 7:27 VERY underwhelming. Almost no whelm at all, 7:40 and it's all so empty! What a fucking disappointment. There are the bare-bones of what COULD have been an interesting mini-quest. Some way to rebuild this, some damn evidence of the miners/what happened to them, some damn STORY!!!!!! A wisp mother there, having wiped him out even would be SOMETHING. Imagine you find a journal at the silent hills camp, talking about how one of their members has gone off to find a rumored abandoned forge of their cult, leading you to this Creation content. This is on-top of these items not looking the best/like something you'd find in Tamriel (which is just a personal opinion, of course). The fact that you also can't make your own unenchanted versions makes this a Creation, (let alone not being able to upgrade them!!) that gives me a HARD pass. I hate the idea of paying US$6 for items that you'll only use for a limited amount of time that add 0 story. This feels so amateurish, which is crazy considering this person HAS a good record of content.

[@theannihilator8800]

Preach

[@CaptainGreenCoin]

He didn't say anything about a mod that could replace this so I suggest using the lunar steel mod it adds a dungeon type ruin underneath Silent Moon Camp where you can find believe it or not lunar weapons and it replaces the steel and iron weapons that had the unique enchantment

[@Anchor-Supreme]

The blood on the axe looks like something out of Bloodborne, pretty epic. Someone is also totally gonna make a patch for crafting and smithing. They’ll be popular enough for that.

[@airiannawilliams3181]

It feels like you got ripped off with that price... Worth maybe 50... Due to the lack of content, no upgrades... It needs a mod to add the sword, and to add a way to upgrade them too.

[@naji_aka_Tracey]

I'm sorry, no. Initially they looked good. Up close, well, they look as sharp as a banana 🫣 Thank you for checking this out so we don't have to 😅

[@Leto85]

The newest paid mod Spellbook Crafting adds new things to the game.

[@We3dCraftLP]

alone that they cant be upgraded means they are usless after getting to a higher level because even an iron sword coul become more powerfull, and the enchantment of the staff....do a spell of it give us the chance to jsut use it as a spell

[@FranklinLongallnitelong22]

To me the weapons look too cartoony...Even if for a Khajiit build. Now after seeing your review, I won't waste my money. thank you

[@gothic_mando8851]

Weird models and textures to choose too.. Obviously "weird" is the whole theme here, but these things look duller than the barely-butter-cutting Guards' blade 😅 And arent exactly easy on the eyes either.. Agreed with all your other critiques of it too!

[@sharoncropp6101]

Thank you George, hope you had a good time at the wedding. This look as if it could be maybe a fun mod. Not sure if I will spend the money on it....yet. You make all your videos such fun. Maybe it isn't as much fun as it seemed to be at first glance. Sad, the Sword was left out.

[@MrFisher150421]

If Bethesda is going to allow paid mods, then what they need to do is hire playtesters to check the quality of the mod, I could see this costing 2, maybe 3 dollars at most, but not 6 dollars for a set of weapons that you can neither forge yourself, nor upgrade in any way. Not to mention how abysmally short the dungeon to get to them is with only vanilla enemies.

[@stanleyschlosser7495]

did u try to use allwaepons on the fire or use fire related items and rocksong to get to the cloud district

[@saalok]

I assume 6 dollars is to cover the time spent just with models/textures because... yeah this is very underwhelming, especially for the price

[@0periodproductions]

I get that the focus of the Creation is the new weapons themselves, but even with the time that goes into the models and textures, $6 still feels incredibly steep. Especially now that I'm hearing that the sword missing is a bug.

[@johngrubb007]

Did you try going to the forge when both moons are out? Seems like that was a clue in the journal.

[@0periodproductions]

I tried this at both forges, made no difference unfortunately. There was another hour of recording trying to figure out if I missed anything, all of that just got cut from the video

[@johngrubb007]

@@0periodproductions Thanks for answering. That mod is definitely overpriced. Thanks for taking the hit for us.

[@UnknownOwl65]

Is the normal lunar enchantment still bugged or did they change it when these weapons came out?

[@neoharmoniagropius1426]

Am not sure who is better set + worth ?. The Silent Moon Set or the Arquebus Set (Dwemer Grenade Launcher) since they have same Price Credits

[@DuVtrell]

There will be an update for the missing sword soon. It was accidently disabled by the mod author so the Q&A team didn't know.

[@JesseJamison-90]

This Creation just seems like it's incomplete. I wouldn't want to pay $6 for an incomplete quest mod. Yes the designs of the weapons are pretty unique and cool, but if there's items missing and no way to replicate an unenchanted variant using this forge... The mod really doesn't serve a purpose.

[@dkirby9052]

forget having the confidence to apply with that name, how about the confidence it takes to charge 6 dollars. There is not enough here to justify the price. Now I don't know how pricing works in this program. 2-3 dollars is what I would say is fair. Not 6. Side note, did they ever make it so that these new creations don't disable achievements? If I am going to pay for a mod it should not disable achievements.

[@troystutsman1400]

Did you not see that you picked up the great sword…???

[@joeswanson3058]

Does anyone know any good mods for the Luna Forge in Wake rum hold? That’s what this makes me think and that’s why I’m asking.

[@thecoffeebadger5807]

This is making the Aldmeri Anti-Mage armor set Creation look good because the creation integrates in the world space. Even though this creation looks really good, it is not worth 6 dollars. Weak dungeon, not craftable, not worth the cost.

[@wod5203]

I learned this hard lesson early on when purchasing content from anything Bethesda, it's going to suck. I see they haven't learned anything, or changed their grift in any way to alter my opinion of their 'content'. This content creator will make a fine addition to Bethesda's team, since he displays the same basic level of competence the other members have when it comes to weapons and how they function. The weapons are impractical from a design viewpoint, there are reasons that swords, axes, knives, maces look like they do on this Earth from all cultures, because they work best in the forms they've taken over time. To call this a mod or a 'creation' is a stretch especially for cash money, and just proves the adage "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." As for the entire Lunar Forge existing in the game as it stands, is another example of Bethesda over-promising and under-delivering, so much wasted potential that does zero for crafting and adds little to nothing to gameplay, much like the Skyforge which modders have actually made useful and required to use to craft their added content. Given the fact that there have been how many 'updates' and re-releases where they could have made the Lunar Forge relevant to Smiths, but failed to implement time after time, tells you everything you need to know about the company, they just don't give a crap anymore. Thanks for showcasing this turd, and I'm sorry you're out six bucks, I hope you'll recoup that cash soon, with every view, like, subscribe and comment!

[@darklegion1783]

Honestly for me These mods/ creations have always been disappointing in general. Most Free mods on the nexus are better and have more to them than these. these weapons are cool but you can't improve them? Why??? That's a miss opportunity. Also the fact you cant revive the forge and make even cooler weapons feels like a missed opportunity. and they didn't use the original location really at all or reference it. this feels like its kinda half baked and 6 dollars ? yeah nope. i will just find something for free on the nexus. Don't get me wrong a few of the Creations have been not too bad! but some feel half baked and way too buggy and underwhelming for the prince. Thanks for the Video! i do like to be informed on these because i still love skyrim and modding it is a passion of mine!

[@arbitratorkit3626]

This is extremely disappointing. I was excited to play through the quest, find a new location and get new gear, but the complete and total lack of effort is just SAD. I got the mod, and I want a refund now. I can’t even upgrade the damn things, and I upgrade all of my weapons and armor, so these items are useless to me even compared to basic steel weapons. Total disappointment, I’m just gonna leave the things on display, since looking kinda pretty is all they’re good for anyway.

[@neoharmoniagropius1426]

You can use SSEdit to make it Good Weapon. 😂😂😂 (if you play PC version)

[@urbanexotic]

Bugged wolf AI, bugged sword, low-res equipment looks like it's made of Play-Doh, has nothing to do with the original Silent Moons area, no idea what happened to the miners, weapons just laying there with no way to make more (dual dagger wield anyone?) or improve them...could go on but wow, what a mess. The location itself was pretty and I liked the frozen animals giving a taste of what was to come, but everything else was incredibly underwhelming. And what is this weird gear doing in a Nord dungeon anyway? This one gives this Creation 1/5 moons

[@stosh64]

I just can't support Bethesda greed. As someone that has about 1700 hours in Skyrim it really pains me to say that I was mid playthrough back in Dec, using the Lost Legacy Wabbajack modlist, I had over 1,000 objects collected for the LOTD museum and was loving life in my umpteenth playthrough. I haven't touched Skyrim since. I love your videos George, but I can't support BGS and their greed/ lack of respect for their customers. I used to look forward to ES6 but after the blatant lack of love evident in Starfield, such a meh game that had so much potential, ES6 isn't even on my radar anymore. Sad what the giant developers have become. I hope Warhorse hasn't gotten to big, and lost the love that made KCD such a great game, KCD2 is one of the few 'modern' games I still hold out hope for.

[@0periodproductions]

The mod author sets the price, not Bethesda

So you stopped a playthrough that you were enjoying in a game that you already bought because you didn't want to support "Bethesda greed"?
