The Barbarian Armor from the new Legend of Zelda game

[WeissYohji]

If anyone has played or even seen any footage of the new Zelda game, Breath of the Wild, you've probably caught a glimpse of the Barbarian Armor. Am I the only one here who thought that s*** would look great in a Fallout game? It would be awesome for a tribal build. Ditto a Legion-aligned character, and this is coming from someone who would never ally with those slaver f*#@s. Granted, I haven't played any of the Zelda games since Twilight Princess, but I saw Link's Barbarian Armor in a YouTube video and just had to have it in New Vegas.

 

Even better, make multiple versions but all with adjustments to make the armor lore-friendly. Where the Sheikah symbol would be, you could have different logos like the Courier Duster from Lonesome Road. NCR, Legion, Vegas, Followers, Brotherhood of Steel, Enclave, you name it. Even factionless versions could exist, say, on some White Legs and Fiends. The skull helmet could easily be replaced with one made from a Deathclaw skull; of course, you could just as easily use Salt-Upon-Wounds' helmet, a vexillarius helmet, any of the Marked Beast helms, or something along those lines and it'd still look sharp. If you're too lazy to hunt for it, you could put a dresser with the whole set in Doc Mitchell or Victor's house and include the ID number in the ReadMe file for those using console commands.

That's what's up.

 

And also, throw in a female version. To date, I've only played female characters so I could piss the Legion off. That and certain mods. :wink:

 

Meanwhile, my last few playthroughs were all using a tribal build specced out in unarmed, melee (for the perks), and energy weapons. Specifically, the Fist of Rawr, She's Embrace (relegated to holdout status after Lonesome Road), Compliance Regulator (paralysis on crit, and NO ONE AND NOTHING IN THE GAME IS IMMUNE), throwing spears/axes, and the almighty Holorifle with all the mods (damage over time, using one microfusion cell per shot, and explosions with the Meltdown perk make this gun better than the Gauss rifles, even if they do more absolute damage. Max INT and LCK, low CHR, everything else evenly redistributed before going into the console and raising the other attributes to 8 points per (saves me the hassle of taking Intense Training). Although I'm specced out in the three weapon categories mentioned above, my actual tagged skills are Science, Survival, and Unarmed (Energy Weapons added later via the Tag! perk). Between Goodsprings and Dead Money (see below), I'll focus more on raising Speech, Melee, and a few other major minor skills.

 

Normally, I ditch the main quest and start Dead Money as early as level 5 but this time I waited til level 10, raising my Science, Speech, Medicine, and Lockpick skills early for the skill checks in advance. Fixed ED-E and brought the law back to Primm, kept Vulpes Inculta alive (I plan to kill him and Caesar at the same time later), went to Novac, then went straight off to the abandoned bunker between Nelson and Camp Forlorn Hope to start Dead Money. Kept all the companions alive (I have mods that let you bring them to the Mojave with you), stole all the gold bars, trapped Elijah, and brought Christine back to the Mojave with me. Reunited her and Veronica (mods, remember?), schlepped to the Gun Runners to trade some bars for Two-Step Goodbye, then started Honest Hearts. Grabbed the Compliance Regulator, She's Embrace, and the Survivalist's Rifle (first time ever finding it); had Follows-Chalk explore civilization; gave Waking Cloud closure on her husband's death; and exterminated the White Legs. With Holorifle in hand, the last quest was easy. Took Salt-Upon-Wounds' helmet (Read: the modded version from The Legion Will Ryse), recruited Joshua and Waking Cloud. Went back to the Mojave, killed Driver Nephi and turned his head in while incognito. Went back to Primm to get ED-E back, then I started Old World Blues. I ALWAYS make it a point to do that DLC for the Heartless and Spineless perks. No matter what build I use, I ALWAYS keep these perks for the remainder of the game. Nothing can ever poison you again as long as you keep the artificial heart. Meanwhile, the crippling immunities from the Big-Brained and Spineless perks stack so now the game can only cripple your arms and legs (easily remedied with Stimpaks, Doctor's Bags, Hydra, and Healing Poultices). Explored the whole crater, kept the Think Tank and Mobius alive, and recovered all the Sink personality holotapes. After all that, I went straight off to the Divide to upgrade ED-E, get the Fist of Rawr, and deal with Ulysses. As I already maxed out my Speech skill sometime during Dead Money, passing the Speech checks with Ulysses was a breeze. At the end, I bombed both the NCR and Legion so I could get the loot from Dry Wells and the Long 15. I'm already hostile with the Profligates and really f***ing hate those Roman cosplayers calling themselves Caesar's Legion so I might as well nuke the s*** out of both of them. If I want to do their quests between here and entering the Lucky 38, that's what disguises are for.

Ummmm, yeah. Anyway, so you should include a pic on a request like this to try and best convey what your requesting (ie. a pic is worth a thousand words). A request is basically asking someone to donate their time and effort, so your best chance is to do as much as the footwork as possible.....if you don't want your thread to just be ignored and forgotten. That means hitting the vault wiki's armor & outfits section to try and find some matching resources. That shows a potential mod author that your serious by putting in some time and effort, as well as making it less work for whoever fills your request.

I tried putting a pic in before but for some reason, it wouldn't post. I tried poaching one URL for the image tag but it was a Pinterest link and thus had a login. This time, it did.

 

Keep in mind I've only edited existing mods in my game via the GECK. I've never made new mods nor requested any til now.

That's OK, it's all good. Take a look at the wiki link I posted and see what outfits we can use to try and create something like your request. I'll try and look through them too if I have some time. I think I can make something similar to the skull helm.

[WeissYohji]

Upon looking at the wiki, I think some elements from the blastmaster/badlands armor, Legion armor, Dead Horses/White Legs armors, and SUW's helmet might work for this mod.

 

For the skull helmet, I could see a longer version of the shotshell dreads from SUW's helmet and maybe make a version that also uses assets from the Lobotomite mask and goggles. Upper portion? Legion shoulder pads, with the bra from the Dead Horses/White Legs armor underneath for the female version. The skirt from the Legion recruit armor can work for the lower half, with the belt from the White Legs armor and/or Scribe robes. Clone and mirror the lower left quarter of the raider badlands armor for the boot-sandals but ditch the kneepad. Now, the gloves? The right glove can use assets from Embrace of the Mantis King! while the left one will need adjustments for the Pip-Boy. That's just a basic idea, though.

 

In the interim, I've just installed NifSkope and Blender. I've hit a wall, though. I need the NIF scripts for Blender for modeling. The wiki says to get blender_nif_scripts-2.5.5-windows.exe. The SourceForge link has NOTHING. It just links you to another page with a later plugin. I've tried looking for mirrors of it but turned up nothing. EDIT: Just found the appropriate file.

Sorry tied up in RL for a while, let me know if your still interested in some help on this mod and I'll take a look at your suggestions from the wiki (sorry have to ask because we have a lot of peeps that abandon interest in their requests).

I certainly am still down for this mod. I've been looking over and over at the wiki versus Link's Barbarian Armor in BotW, getting these ideas in my head. Even downloaded the necessary software but haven't quite gotten it together. Looked at some tutorials and watched a few YouTube videos but they've mainly involved only reskins of existing assets as opposed to making new armors altogether (be it repurposing in-game assets or creating new textures/meshes from scratch). The more I learn, the better.

 

Now that I think of it, I think blending part of the top of the female White Legs armor with the football shoulder pads from the Legion recruit armor would work. I'd thought of using part of the Dead Horses armor for this but the White Legs armor would work better for this. The belt? We could work with the belts from the Brotherhood Scribe robes and the Honest Hearts tribal armors. And there could be different versions of the skull helmet, too, including one with Lobotomite goggles on it (I'd never use them otherwise because of the intelligence penalty). So we're looking at assets from just about all the DLCs.

 

And you're not the only one who's been tied up IRL. I work just as I'm sure you do, and I also have a pet parrot (a blue-fronted amazon named Ricky) that demands attention. I'll play New Vegas while he sits on my shoulder. Ricky's a talker but has yet to mimic the in-game dialogue. If he needs to eat, drink, or poop, I have a stand for him; his cage (a big one, around 1.7 m tall) is for when I'm at work or he's in bed for the night.

Nope, not interested in getting into a pissing contest (especially with someone asking for a favor), simply explaining my absence.
