I want to see him make a Bumper Sword from Fallout New Vegas
Being a blacksmith just seems so badass.
I want him to make the Dragonslayer from Berserk [sp]It's basically a slab of iron with edges[/sp]
Oh my god that was fucking badass

He needs to make this next.
No wonder the guy's been doing stuff for films, he's really good at making it look just right.
Y'know, even if the Orcish weapons in skyrim go against the lore for Orcish smithing, it still looked fucking boss.
He used bronze, so it'll turn green eventually, right?
Another quality piece from Man at Arms.

I work with metal, and believe me this is not easy. His work is simply amazing.

wasn't orcish meant to be very refined and ornate? that's the vibe i got from morrowind books.

Yeah, their work was supposed to be absolutely masterful and beautifully crafted. In Skyrim they look like they just stuck handwraps on pieces of metal.

Ouch. Actually, I do remember making an Oblivion (or Skyrim, can't remember) character and seeing on the blurb for Orcs that they were great smiths. It's a shame then that they went for the typical "orcs love ugly spiky beaten-up looking stuff" like most franchises do.
In Morrowind the Orcish armor was actually like Samurai armor, it was a very unique take on orc craftsmanship in fantasy.
Then again, so were a lot of Morrowind's designs.
i love it when he makes a weapon and you can just tell the whole time he was doing it he was going "man this design's the freaking dumbest"
I want him to make Sokka's space sword

To be fair, the Orcish armor in Skyrim still gives off a bit of a Samurai vibe. Certainly a step up from Oblivion's where it looked more like Turkish or Mongolian lamellar.
Except for the shields. How could they mess up orcish shields so badly?

The weapons certainly took a nosedive though. Here's an orcish axe from Morrowind (for some reason there were no orcish weaponry in Oblivion)

I want to see him make a Runefang.
I'd actually love to see him make raidens prelude sword from metal gear rising, it's pretty much a laser cut and sharpened piece of metal with paracord for the handle, it's so minimalist yet so awesome.
Imagine if there was a zombie apocalypse and you stumbled upon the Sword and the Stone workshop with your band of survivors.

It would be so cool if he made Frostmourne!

Lazy art development which is noticeable everywhere in game... like the fact that even WITH the "HD" texture pack, they still look like shit and have noticeable seams etc. If they only would have put in the time and effort they did into Morrowind, Skyrim could have been so much better.

Seams aren't always easy to hide, the HD pack is lazy though. Most of the textures are just the original ones blow up and have a texture overlay applied.

Orcish gear in Skyrim always looked to me like it was artistically brutal; intimidating and jagged, but deliberately so, with a weird kind of of symmetry and purpose to it. Probably reading too much into that, but it seemed to sum them up very well.

It's been done man, they were even available to buy for a good long time

this is the problem with some video game weapons, there just massive slabs of metal, swinging that would give you a hernia and tear your arms off, but at least what ever you hit will surely be dead.

The armor in oblivion didn't look turkish at all. Plus the helmet was clearly viking styled. Looked Rus if anything.
The armor in skyrim on the other hand:
