These Video Game Weapons Suck! (At First)
2. A Fork - The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Aaaah the humble fork, aid to the hungry, those that want a challenge while eating soup, and of course those with itchy backs who have precisely zero standards. There's a lot to love about this pronged piece of metal, for the most part Skyrim seems to show this selection of cutlery the cold shoulder.
I say this because, technically speaking, the majority of forks you find in the game aren't items you can use as weapons and are only used for selling or cursing for accidentally picking up and throwing you over the weight limit, and the very sparse versions that can be equipped as a weapon only do a measly base damage of one no matter the skills and buffs you have for your character.
So it's pretty safe to say that the fork sucks entirely right? Wait what's that noise? why does it feel like that sound comes with the subtitle of *laughs in enchantment*?
Oh, that's right, it's because thanks to endless potion crafting to buff your enchantment skills and the ability to slap utterly ridiculous effects onto weapons, you can easily turn this pea prodder into the best weapon in the game, nay the !*$% franchise. Now true you can do this with any other weapon in the game but it's far more fun to take an item that Bethesda regarded as a joke and make a mockery of the rest of their game.
Plus it allows you to scream "Fork You" at any given time which itself is a huge perk. Noice.
