8 Worthless Video Game Items You NEVER Used

Remember the wooden shield I detailed at the opening of this? Well, why not partner it up with an equally pointless bit of kit in the form of the Wooden Sword from the otherwise impeccable Skyrim. In a world of dragons and dungeons (in that order for legal reasons) weapons of mythical might are ten a penny; hammers that will obliterate armies, staffs that shoot waves of fire, and of course forks that do one million points of damage, but that's another story.

Therefore with all of these weapons at your disposal, getting a Wooden Sword from a random loot chest was like someone laughing in your face loudly and obnoxiously, a Fus-Roh-HA as it were. Yet thanks to the Hearthfire DLC, this was now a possibility, as these barely sharpened logs would begin appearing in your game with the expansion installed. Cheers. Just what I wanted.

With the lowest base damage in the game, tying with a base level fork, the Wooden Sword is utterly and literally pointless. Sure, you can give it to one of your adopted kids, but this is a harsh world at the best of times so a real sword would do them much better in the long run.

It's a dull brown log in every sense and belongs on the Hearthfire itself.
