Varied armor


Dumblor

Recommended Posts

I'm not an anime fan, so bassically there are not many armor mods for me :(. I don't really need them, it's just that the existing armor lacks variation, and is really booring.

 

My suggestion for a modeler would be to make armor more varied, like adding some holes with metal plates on them (aka repaired :)), adding some clothing over armor, making it non-simetric, adding belts, trinkets etc. And possibly making like three versions of the armor. The armor doesn't need to be completely remade, just take the vanilla armor and make some interesting changes :).

This is an example of what I mean. I hope somebody will like the idea and make such a mod :).

Have you checked out the large scale armour packs yet?

 

Sin's Expanded Light Armor

Armory of the Silver Dragon

Armamentarium

Bob's Armor

 

All these packs are huge, the armamentarium one alone adds over 1000 re-texured (colored) armours and weapons based upon the vanilla ones. Same with Sin's. The Armoury of the Silver Dragon is one of my personal favorites as it adds some really cool armours and helmets (can you say bassinet?). I am new here so I don't know how to link to the nexus but if you search for those you won't be dissapointed. As a side note, make sure if you get the complete armamentarium here http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18417 you get the mod it relies on here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25309. These are leveled loot so make sure you don't level up too fast or you might spend a while looking for the last piece of that leather set or whatever. The silver dragon is only available to lv 20+ however.

 

If you don't have Castle Seaview yet you can get a horse and set of custom armors there as well. Poke around for mods that come with armours, you would be surprised. I believe Castle Almgard, Castle Ravenloft and the Dune mod have some extras as well. But the four mentioned above are the larger ones that I've found and well worth it. If you want a mace as a shield, you got it.

 

Hope I didn't tell you about common stuff that you already knew about,

Why DO people make so many anime inspired mods? it does get annoying

Because lots of people like anime?

 

Because anime armors tend to involve boobs, and juvenile guys (and some girls) enjoy that sort of thing?

I like the anime armours, but I like to have more than just that as well. I agree that it would be cool to see somebody make a mod that adds draperies (I don't know the proper term) to cover armours with. Traditional plate mail was often covered in a fabric to protect against heat from the sun, identification, etc. The logistics mean that one would have to limit the armours worn underneath to only vanilla, as they might look odd with some other amrours underneath. I like that idea, but I don't have the skill now to attack the task.
