When asked by a fan, ”Hey Pete, I’m just wondering, do weapons and armor degrade in Skyrim, like with their own health? Also, is there visual damage?”, Hines replied, ”No and no.”
He then added, ”We replaced that w/ creating/improve weap/armor, instead of spending lots of time getting them back to where they were.”
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be released on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 11, 2011.
