Can you alter the “weapon” to actually use the unarmed skill?
Probably, but then I suspect it would change to the default unarmed behavior of doing fatigue damage instead of real damage. I don't know.
I checked with the Oblivion version, and Unarmed is not even an option to choose from in the weapon record. Since I am concentrating on Oblivion (and playing Morroblivion instead of Morrowind), that is what I am really concerned with.
