well not really. Ebony looks pretty normal/non-silly, even accounting for the fact the sword is weebshit, and it's the tier below daedric

Looks cooler = more better.

>sword made of iron
>realistic

They have to look like that otherwise their innate magic won't work.
Now fuck off you realism pest.

>muh realism
no wonder western games are so shit. subhumans like you are the reason why.
