LE Guild Armors

[andreinishihara]

Over the years, I saw many armor mods for different factions and guilds, but what I noticed is that nobody ever made progressive armors.

 

For example, the companions should have armors befitting of their own faction, aside from their wolf armor that's all they have. Kodlak is the harbringer yet he doesn't have any armor symbolizing that he is the leader and the rest of the companions aside from Aela, Skjor, Farkas and Vilkas all have generic armor.

 

The thieves guild armor is already ok since almost all of them wear the armor of their own faction but some wear the generic leather armor like Dirge.

 

The Dark brotherhood all wore the same outfits except for Babette (but that's ok since she operates by blending in as a child) but my problem with the Dark Brotherhood is that Astrid's armor is the same as the others, which is not befitting of the leader of the Dark Brotherhood. And the ancient shrouded armor you receive is also the same armor with a more powerful enchantment.

 

The College of Winterhold's archmage robes were done right as it is the ONLY unique armor for the archmage of winterhold. The problem lies in that the students and the teachers there all wear GENERIC robes. It is a COLLEGE, they should wear robes as though they were uniforms. You don't see teachers wear a student's uniform. (And before you say, I know they have college boots, robes and hoods but they are considered generic since the some of the mages outside of the college of winterhold use them too.)

 

And lastly the armor of the imperial legion and the stormcloaks. As you move up in their ranks you never receive any armor befitting of your rank. Just a generic weapon with an enchantment. It'd be good if you rise from auxilliary to the next rank and be given a unique armor for your rank.

 

If someone could overhaul the armors of the different factions I'd be grateful. If not its okay too since this may just be too much to ask for.

I get where you're coming from but it's not really that unreasonable for them to have the same armor as their inferiors. Everyone knows Astrid is the leader but she's still an assassin, same as the rest of them. Everyone knows Kodlak is the Harbinger (ie. "Leader") but he's still a companion, the same as the rest. So although I think it would be really cool to see variations of the armors with the corresponding faction, it's not super illogical for the leaders to be wearing the same armor.

If you're asking why Bethesda never did variations for the leaders, I think the answer would be: They didn't need to. They absolutely could, but they didn't need to, which means less work for them. I'm definitely for the idea that someone talented enough could do some sort of overhaul of the armors to make them look more unique though. I like the idea.

True. But I always thought he needs some kind of diversity that's why I gave him a special version of the Wolf armor that also fits better to his name

The only thing that looks different is the texture. From aMidianBorn, correct? Since it's just a texture edit, don't all members who wear the wolf armor look like this for you?

[Novem99]

Yes, it is from aMidianBorn Book Of Silence and no, the other members of the Companions wear the default outfit with the brown fur. I created a special outfit with the Creation Kit for Kodlak so that he wears this texture exclusively. I know it's still the same armor model.
