Justinlonewolf Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hello! So I've been looking at mods for quite some time on the nexus and Steam both for Skyrim trying to find a decent paladin armor mod. I mean no disrespect or insult to the authors who have already made mods like Lost Paladins of the Divines and Divine Aegis but it is disappointing to see thats all there is really. I know theres tons of armor mods for Knights and Paladins, Templars and Crusaders and the like but they ALL use the armor skin that Hothtrooper uses for his plate armor and I apologize but I don't think it looks all that great, I wanna play Skyrim not Chivalry Medieval Warfare. Basically what I'm trying to say is I've probably seen every mod available so I'm not looking for a recommendation of a current mod but I encourage the modding community to try their hand at a new paladin, holy knight, templar armor mod. Because even though all of the lore-friendly armor mods are beautiful and amazing, I would like to be a holy knight for once instead of a viking lord or something. You know? Anyway thanks to anyone who reads this but this has been on my mind for months now. I believe templar(tabard with chainmail and the iconic helmet) would be an amazing set to make BUT I would suggest making it a heavy Crusader set by adding shoulder plates and heavy gloves, boots, platelegs and a chest plate too but still have the Crusaders tabard over it, or not if that would be too difficult, but I feel like the helmet is absolutely necessary and also maintaining a steel armor or white armor texture would be key to a successful holy knight. There could also be wings added to the helmet like from Dragonage templars or something like that if you think that would look better, I'm up for it either way :) this is my first time posting on these forums so I apologize in advance if a request of this nature is unorthodox, but I know theres no way I could a decent armor mod because I have the artistic skills of a 3 year old, my mind pictures the epic armor but my hands and pen just don't come close.

Justinlonewolf Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yes, although as I have said all of them use hothtroopers Hedge Knight Armor design which I personally do not think looks great. http://static-2.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/13961-4-1333034966.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justinlonewolf Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I do like that armor a lot, I wish more people used this armor for a base to start off with than the Hedge Knight armor.But the cloth accessories and the helmet and a few other details of the armor just aren't quite right. Even the non-affiliated armor version has red accessories to it and I feel like blue/white or even leather would look better than the red gloves and such. I would prefer blue/white because since I align myself with the Imperial Legion, everything is red but I wanted to make an order, a separate Order of Holy Knights that are easily distinguished, with multiple followers wearing the same armor as I- as a sort of a uniform. This elite group of Crusaders that have come to Skyrim to maintain order, and peace. And to root out the Thalmor also :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
