oOlaquerheadOo Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I love the bandolier - bags and pouches mod by Dragten here on the nexus. I'd like to see a similar mod that adds pauldrons from different armor sets as stand-alone equipable additions to the game. That's pretty much it.
ElFonz0 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 This so much. I was just thinking this not to long ago, but expanded to include gauntlets and greaves/skirts. Like, if you're wearing Scaled Armor, and have the right Ancient Nord Pauldron, Forsworn Gauntlets with a Stormcloak Officer Left Gauntlet, and the Fur Skirt as your greaves. When you equip a one-handed gauntlet, pauldron, or greaves/skirt, it replaces your current one, visually. And, to be fair, Greaves/skirts, one-handed gauntlets, and pauldrons have no armor rating.
oOlaquerheadOo Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 I totally agree with you there. It's been too long since the days of the Morrowind armor system. I loved mixing and matching pieces of armor and it was great that you could equip two different gauntlets...I think you could, it's been a while. Either way, pauldrons alone would be outstanding.
huntsman2310 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 It can be done, all someone need to do is separate the mesh into different pieces of gear (helm, cuirass, pauldron, greaves, shinguards, bracers, gauntlets and whatever), than they would just need to assign them to different bodyslots in the creation kit. Easy peasy.
MLeonhardt Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I cannot possibly support this more than I already do.

Easy peasy. I'm just now getting used to 3ds max and nifskope by using Nightasy's tutorial channel on youtube. If you know of a tutorial that can help me figure out how to separate meshes, I'd be very grateful. Maybe then I could do it myself as my first official mod.
ElFonz0 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 If you manage to make this awesomely, it will be one of my favorite mods ever.
oOlaquerheadOo Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Well, I've discovered what every modder has been dealing with since Skyrim's launch. With Oblivion, you could add and remove pieces of an armor mesh with nifskope alone to easily create mash-ups of ingame armors. This isn't the case with Skyrim, though. Otherwise this mod would be fairly simple to do. Now I just have to locate a decent tutorial that shows you how to do this with 3ds Max. Edited August 10, 2012 by oOlaquerheadOo
Kazagarumanesh Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I like the idea of more pieces of armor. Yes!
TheLordGrizzly Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I support this idea. I would love to equip the hide/studded x straps on their own.
