Comparisons with other games[]

Unlike later installments in The Elder Scrolls series, such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and its plug-ins, weapons cannot be forged with the Smithing skill.

Morrowind was the first Elder Scrolls game to employ Crossbows and their bolts. The weapon was removed from Skyrim and Oblivion, but resurfaced in Skyrim's first plug-in, Dawnguard.

Morrowind was the only title to employ the Spear skill and weapon type.

In Morrowind's successor, Oblivion, skills governing weapons, such as Short Blade and Long Blade were combined to form the Blade skill.

In Skyrim weapon-specific skills evolved to match their handedness.

For two-handed weapons, Morrowind has battle axes, warhammers, spears, staves and claymores. For one-handed weapons, Morrowind has shortswords, longswords, maces, daggers, and war axes. Bows employed various types of arrows, including Viper Arrows, which are unique to the game. Along with spears, throwing weapons, including throwing stars, throwing knives, and darts, did not return in later Elder Scrolls games.
