LE Cowters, Cuisses, Rerebraces, Poleyns, Sabatons and extra armour pieces

[Notanon81]

Given that there are mods that add pauldrons (shoulder) and greaves (lower leg armour), would be nice to add additional armours into the game to cover extra body parts.

 

Couter/cowter - Elbow armour

Cuisse - Thigh armour

Poleyn - Knee armour

Rerebrace - Forearm armour

Sabaton - Foot armour (goes over the existing boot)

Pluckart - Belly armour

Culet - Small of back or buttocks armour

Gorget - Steel collar (neck armour)

Aventail - Detachable mail that hangs from the helmet

 

Could even bring in the girdle from Elder Scrolls Online as an additional piece. Just struck me as strange at times that certain parts of the body can't be covered with the stock offerings, such as the upper arm which isn't protected by the gauntlet or the upper thighs not being protected by the boots. By my count, there are plenty of additional slots that can be utilised by modders for the above suggestions. Some of these would lend themselves more to heavy armour, but a few things like cuisses and rerebraces could work ok as light armour pieces.

 

If I had to narrow it down to about 3 pieces, couters, cuisses and poleyns would be ideal. Things like rerebraces and the like would serve to go over existing armour pieces in order to provide extra protection, and things like the gorget and aventail would lend themselves strongly to heavy armours like iron and steel.
