a little back story on the historical setting of skyrim for new modders and would be modders

[jacobhibbard12345]

in skyrim time period and cultural setting their were in fact females. skyrim is set in the Nordic/viking culture in which

their were females unlike mods that suggest their were no females ever like sons of skyrim mod which people think is historically accurate but is in fact not because women served in the viking tribes as shield maddens and were very skilled warriors and served a critical role on the battlefield sons of skyrim is one of many historically inaccurate mod aiming to be historically accurate but are not do to a lack of proper information

 

here is some good information to go by

 

if you think a horned helmet is accurate than you are horribly missed informed and that is uh unfortunate

so read this and other sources like this(i'm a history nerd and i have a very high iq so i know the proper versus improper information) anything they says viking helmets had horns should not be read as proper information because its not

 

 

vikings were not traders and pilgrims trying to escape persecution from the Catholics as a user suggested on the sons of skyrim topic they were in fact their own group from a completely different part of Europe the vikings(Scandinavia Iceland and for a brief time Canada) were their own culture, religion(vikings(Scandinavia) war shipped Odin,Thor,Freya,Balder,Loki ect while the Catholics(Britain Spain France ect) war shipped one god and the son of god" Jesus") and group which were larger and stronger than Europeans from mid and southern Europe(Britain Ireland Spain France Portugal Italy Greece ect)

also the helmets used are simaler to the helmets used by the storm cloaks and guards not that horned helmet seen on cartoons like "how to train your dragon"(would like to see Toothless in skyrim or a proper astrid as in a replica from the movie made a good replica but cant seem to get the textures to show properly on the model:( ) your best bet is to base a helmet off of a helmet shown on the TV show vikings on the history channel or amazon prime(if they show one cant remember, but they had to have shown one at least twice right?) or search up a picture although it is going to come up with one or two accurate results a few semi accurate results and thousands of completely non accurate results

 

 

just some information from early or would be modders that want to create something historically accurate and accidentally end up messing up on actual history because the lack of proper information involving the Nordic/viking setting of skyrim

My post was not to complain about historical inaccuracies

 

 

The game is awesome just the way it is it is even more fun with mods Thier is a endless amount of content being released some good some just horrible

 

My post was made to guide people in the right direction with providing those who want to make Skyrim historically accurate with the proper information behind Skyrim historical setting not in the wrong direction like sons of Skyrim

I'm sure you mean well, but mod authors generally go in their own direction and do the things they want to do.

 

I was a big fan of the Vikings history channel show, and it does support a lot of what you say, though I did notice a lot of historical inaccuracies on the English side.

 

However, when it comes to making mods, it comes down to what does the mod author want to do, and other peoples wants don't enter into it too much.
