Concept/Request for Medieval armour replacer

What is this exactly?

 

 

Firstly I am going to put out that this is both a concept and request for a replacer and this will at least provide some sort of concept for a replacer that I, a collaboration of me with some other people or someone else (*note: I have no experience because I neither have the time (doing exams etc.) and energy to do it just yet, and hopefully I will be able to grab some sort of experience).

 

These concepts will make reference to other mods that mostly have witcher imports (I love them) and I will appropriately credit the authors below the respective image

 

Imperials

 

This here I am particularly impressed with the armour however being the nitpicking fool I am, I particularly disdain the open visor. Imperials in the 4th era as best represented by Rebirth of an empire by Becheman highlights that the imperial legion has fallen on hard times. To fit this the imperials can make use of chainmail (to replace light imperial armour), halfplate (studded imperial armour) or full plate (heavy imperial armour).

 

Heres a link to the various conceptual ideas:

Stormcloaks

 

 

The stormcloaks within most medieval replacers do not really fit the whole semi-nordic feel, and while it is welcome, to make it seem like the rebelling jarls of skyrim have a more poorly trained and equipped army, designs and armours done by the credo team best represent the stormcloaks in more of a norman like way which retains its nordic feel but also is medieval.

The holds of skyrim

 

The holds of skyrim have varying differences but this is not represented well in the game or in other mods apart from gallery of armours, which does not give a medieval feel. As such this can be represented through each armour of each hold. For example, Solitude, Markarth and Whiterun experience a lot of wealth and to represent this, the quality of armour and equipment can be shown to look very ornate and very good quality. In contrast to this, Riften, Morthal and Winterhold have been experiencing decline and this can be shown through the poor quality of armour and the use of vanilla helmets (leather, fur etc.) show that the guards need to buy their own equipment.

 

Other things to take into account be the use of imperial equipment as shown in the concept to identify cyrodillic influence and the wealth of the hold as well as the use of Norman helmets to identify the power of Windhelm and its influence on the other holds.

what ever happened with this? any progress?

Skyrim just in my view is pretty dead through bethesda's recent business ventures, and also I just lost motivation. I might come back to it but I think the lack of response (also pretty far fetch considering my lack of skills and lack of community outreach), probably put me off. But hey, I might wait for the next bethesda elder scrolls game and learn from the ground up now that I have the time.

 

 

 

 

Alternatively, I might keep concepting once I get some skills up once I find the motivation. I had this idea of a medieval overhaul which could combine both city overhauls, armor mods, as well as adding new features to create a true overhaul to the game in the likes of requiem etc.
