Dambuster Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 About this post: I see many arguments on these forums about people hating on non-lore friendly modifications and those defending a users right to use whatever mods they like. I can see both sides of the argument and agree wholeheartedly that a user can do whatever they like with their game. However, I can also see people's irritation at having to sift through these 'sexy' or 'anime' mods when they're looking for an awesome lore friendly armor or weapon. I myself am not someone who likes to use non-lore friendly modifications and the thing I find irritating about those sort of mods is the annoyance of clicking 'Fantastic new Sword' for it to be a 20ft long monstrosity. I believe others on this forum share this irritation and would like an easier way to search for lore-friendly armors and weapons without a massive trawl. This will be an alphabetical list of lore friendly modifications for Skyrim following these criteria: - Modification must fit the aesthetic feel for the period that the fantasy world of Skyrim emulates but is not restricted by culture. This is a fairly liberal requirement a roman Gladius would be considered lore friendly as would a renaissance sword a lightsaber however would not. - The armor or weapon must be to some degree possible to use with near human strength. - Armor must provide some degree of protection. - Armor must cause little sexual arousal. - Weapons from other fantasy novels are allowed as long as they fit the other criteria.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS - I have only done the weapons with more than 15 endorsements so far and have started the armor list but not posted it here yet. If people like this/find it useful and would like me to continue please give some feedback it's quite time consuming so I will only continue if it is appreciated. The Armor is going to be a much bigger job but also a more useful list in my opinion. Anyway Cheers and feedback please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redxavier Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 This is really useful stuff. I think you've been a little liberal with some of the swords, Alastor's for example, but slight variances on what is lore-friendly are bound to occur.

Dambuster Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I suppose lore friendly is perhaps a slight misnoma and perhaps I should tighten my criteria for the weaponry thanks for the feedback. What I'm really going for is non-ridiculous and in the case of armor non-skimpy but yes perhaps I should refine the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minngarm Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thats what the tagging system is for, tag a mod guys! mark it as what you think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yep. Please tag the mods that are "Lore-Friendly" as being such and the Tag Search Utility will be helpful to everyone...not just those reading this post. EDIT: I didn't know translucent glass was lore-friendly. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
