LE Play as a Golden Saint or Dark Seducer

[darkdill]

I've seen mods around that grant the ability to play as a Dremora or other unique races, but there aren't any I've seen that give you the ability to play as a Golden Saint or Dark Seducer from the Shivering Isles.

 

Since we've got "play as Dremora" mods out there, this shouldn't be completely out of the question, right? Getting to play as one of Sheogorath's sexy Daedric servants would be great.

 

Anyone think they can pull this off?

I am going to bump this. I have a Dark Seducer character in Oblivion, he's probably my absolute favorite character ever from Oblivion, and I would love to be able to continue his adventures in Skyrim. I've messed with some of the custom race mods and extended color sliders, and they're just not cutting it. I'd also like to have their racial abilities preserved (absorb health lesser power and a weakness to cold and spell absorprion for Dark Seducers, disintigrate weapon lesser power with reflect spell and a weakness to poison for Golden Saints) and that's not going to happen with just dressing up an existing race. I am considering finally learning how to use the construction kit myself if no one steps up to do this, but I admit it's a bit daunting, it would be my fist mod that wasn't just a retexture, and I'm afraid I may screw it up. But I CAN offer my services as a texturer to get the eyes right, and maybe retexture the armor and weapons (cus what fun is playing as a Mazken or Aureal if you don't have the weapons and armor, right?) from Oblivion to bring it up to the same sorts of resolutions that are expected for Skyrim, I'm good with Photoshop, if nothing else. Though the armor could be a mod unto itself.

 

For the armor, I'm picturing it coming in 2 flavors for each, one for the early game and one for the late game. For Golden Saint, make it heavy armor with the stats of steel or thereabouts being crafted with gold and maybe some steel. Then the late game version with more ornate textures and the stats of maybe somewhere between Ebony and Daedric, and decorations where you throw in some sapphires, (because the Golden Saint Officer helmets had sapphires, or was it amethysts? I'd have to check, either way) maybe using the earlier armor as a crafting ingredient, like you're upgrading it, and, I dunno, Moonstone for some rarer ore. Dark Seducer, same thing but light armor made with Chaurus Chitin, early having the stats of Leather or thereabouts, late game around Glass, and then throw in some emeralds (again, Officer helmets had green gems, I think they were supposed to be opals, but emeralds are the closest existing gem) and, I dunno, Malachite or silver to upgrade it for the late game. Would it be possible to simply import the meshes from Oblivion and tweak them? I don't have a 3D program of any kind, so i really have no idea there.
