LE Final Fantasy 4 style Dark Knight Equipment

[immortalfrieza]

I'm reposting this because it's been months and nobody has responded to making this mod. To prevent this request thread from appearing as though it has been answered when it hasn't, please do not respond to this thread unless you are willing to contribute to this mod's creation in some way. Any help to create any part of this mod will be appreciated.

I'd like to request that someone create a mod to have armor in Skyrim, dark knight armor very similar in appearance to this picture:

(My links always seem to get broken before long, so sorry if that happens)

With a shield something like this, I like the pure black one:

With, of course, versions for both genders.
As well as a one handed dark sword, the black one third from the left I like best:

(You'll have to look at those pictures yourselves, they won't post properly on this forum for some reason.)
If it's feasable, I'd like the sword to have a fiery effect whether it's enchanted or not, a black or dark purple one, something like this:

If possible, I'd like it to be craftable, with the same crafting requirements and statistics as comparable pieces of iron equipment and a grindstone and workbench improvement limit of flawless. I'd also like a enchantment either be automatically added to the equipment or ones added to the enchanment table that could be separately added to equipment like vanilla enchantments have to which increases the effectiveness of the armor and sword the higher the crime and death acts of your character in the character statistics sheet are, such as:

-How many people you've killed overall. Only people factor, not creatures, undead, or daedra, the innocence of the people would not factor (Like, say, each armor piece with the enchanment would go up 1 point in protectiveness would for every 5 people you've killed, and the sword's damage would go up 1 point.)
-The combined total of what your character has stolen, including random objects, horses, pickpocketing, and so on. (minimal effect, say, every 100 thefts the armor goes up by 1 points, sword damage 1 point.)
-Bounties would not factor. (So the player could be a heroic Dark knight if they wanted to.)
Can't think of any other statistics, but if you can, feel free to add them.

Well, that's it, thank you in advance to any modders that make this happen.

I think it would be a nice idea to include an alternate start add-on where you start off in Solitude as a Dark Knight with the gear already in your inventory if not equiped. Sorry Just wanted to share something I wanted with this as a fellow fan of Cecil/FF4. Hope someone picks this up as a mod though.

 

P.S.
I say Solitude not out of bias but because it seems the closest color scheme and lore-wise to FF4, starting quest and maybe FF4 alternate bosses would be cool too just seems a lot to ask for/some may say un-friendly to the Skyrim lore.

Big fan of Cecil too, but I've never seen that particular image of him. Got any more reference shots?

[Thuellai]

I believe that one is from the PSP FFIV collection. Here's one from Dissidia, the design is slightly different but similar (different color scheme, though)

Here's a close-up from one of the FMVs, for more facial detail.

I would also like to see this, FFIV is one of my absolute favorites and would be a cool fit for Skyrim.

Something like this? :devil:

Wow, that's a pretty great looking helmet already! The shape of it looks pretty good, fairly accurate to the pictures.

[GingerArcher]

Yea, I found a bunch of great shots of someone who made a cosplay outfit of the armor. Much too shiny, in my opinion, but makes the different parts/details easy to see.

 

I'm working on a couple other mods as well, and this one has a lot of intricate parts to model, so it may take me a while to finish the whole suit. But I'm workin on it. :thumbsup:

 

That being said, I haven't played with enchantments at all, so I'm not sure I'd be able to do that portion of the request.

[Thuellai]

Fair enough. Offhand, Cecil's actual ability as a Dark Knight is the ability to sacrifice health for an area attack, which might be possible as some kind of spell. I'm just glad to see this armor come together! FFIV has some neat designs in general. I'd love to see Kain's Dragoon armor or the Paladin armor after this.

[GingerArcher]

I was actually thinking about Kain when I was looking up references. The fact his armor is specifically designed to *look* like a dragon, lends itself especially well to Skyrim. Once I get these current projects off my plate, I think his will be my next project. :laugh:

VERY good, nicely detailed.

 

I'd say my only issue is with the eyes, they're a bit too big IMO, and I think they're supposed to be pure white, though the metal texture is fine, but if you can I'd prefer it if it wasn't reflective like that picture shows.

 

Other than that, nice job. It gives me hope for this mod that someone so competent decided to step up.

 

 

That being said, I haven't played with enchantments at all, so I'm not sure I'd be able to do that portion of the request.

That's fine. I can always ask for that seperately if you and anybody else who reads this thread isn't able to make it.

 

I think you could request help with that part though, I might be wrong, I'm not a modder.
