Tzontlimixtli Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have to agree. It's probably the best Nord armour in the game that isn't actually in the game. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgirkke Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Ok helm is done and I think it looks pretty good. I have also taken the DB nordic carved armor and retextured it to look more distressed. I am going to have the helm as one file and the armor as another since the non-helm pieces will require Dragonborn DLC. Ideally at some point I will actually edit the cuirass and boot meshes to add some of the key features of the armor seen on the statue, the shoulder blade pieces and oversized shin guards.... but realistically figuring out how to unwrap that complicated cuirass mesh and re-use the existing textures and add on the handmade textures for the new parts of the armor is just going to be a pain and I don't know when that will happen, if ever. As far as stats/enchants go for the armor - I am going with mixtures of magic resist and fortify health, fortify stam, fortify health rate, fortify stam rate. Idea being that this armor is meant to create a legendary warrior that can resist Mer trickery (magic resist) and is possessed with avenging fallen kinsman. I also was aiming for a couple base points above daedric (~2 or 3) per piece. The pieces will be temperable (really hard to not have that in there regardless of canon) but not enchantable. The cloak shown in the pics is from the flowing cape add-on... just repainted the texture to throw some links on there. Getting effed by the upload limit so i will post subsequent pics in new replies.... edited to fix spelling error Edited March 19, 2013 by mcgirkke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgirkke Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) overhead showing the cloak as well - the cloak texture i repainted isn't fantastic... was pretty much a 5 minute hack job to get something in game that I could get a pic of. The flowing cape mod is awesome, though - highly recommend it. Edited March 17, 2013 by mcgirkke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgirkke Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) more direct helm shot in better light just to show it more in close... back - i might still tweak the bottom of the back to clean it up a little more Edited March 17, 2013 by mcgirkke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzontlimixtli Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 This is looking great! I think I'll actually create my first Nord character to use this mod. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3608344User Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think it's too wide, I know that that's one of it's defining features, but It still needs to be slightly slimmer. Also, it looks kind of like pipe insulation material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightinglae850 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 That looks great! Dont listen to these ungratefuls, make it the way you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosandsorrow Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 This armor will look epic at the end :) For the cloak,maybe you can ask the modder of the flowing cape mod to use it and retex it as Ysgramor's one ? It's just an idea cause without it the look is still great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlduinWorldEater Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think it's too wide, I know that that's one of it's defining features, but It still needs to be slightly slimmer. Also, it looks kind of like pipe insulation material. There's no satisfying some people :rolleyes: Just keep working at it. I'll definitely be downloading and endorsing this mod when it's ready!
