LE Practical female armour

[missmary]

I'm going to start by saying I have seen a handful of really nice female armour, so I've downloaded most of them. In fact the few really good ones are usually much better than the vanilla ones available. The problem, is that I've decided to stick with the default bodies (well aside from detailed bodies by Xenius) so that limits what I can use. My main issue isn't how sexy the armour is but I do have an issue with how useless or impractical they usually are. I adore the Triss armour and I'm sure many people do too, it's detailed and interesting, lore-friendly (to me anyway) and practical as a light armour, plus it still looks nice. The same goes for Grace Darkling's Ranger Armor it has that look like it belongs but is still attractive, as well as Immersive Armors, which is fantastic for both the girls and guys.

I guess I'm just frustrated with my choices being between essentially wearing guys armour with boob pockets or literally almost nothing. Yes, I love to go exploring or fighting bandits in a thong and high heels :\ but you know what, it's okay if you do. I just like to role-play a little more and I figure that if the armour doesn't cover my character there is no way she would survive fighting a wolf ratherless a Draugr Deathlord.

 

Anyway long story short I'd love for somebody to make some practical, feminine armour. I have a couple ideas if anyone is interested, one could be inspired by ancient relics from previous TES games or by Oblivion armour mods such as the Underworld armor by Zertualpro, FF_RM Assassin Elite Armor by Petrovich or the Battledress by Cgramnaes. Another idea is from other games like Dragon Age or Neverwinter Nights, either heavy or light armour is great.

I've never made armour but I realize it's a huge undertaking so if anyone decides they'd like to do it, I'd be really grateful. Thanks for reading anyway :)

I know there's a dearth of good armors. Try out the Masters of Death armor. It's got a nice female mesh and lack either boob pockets, or windows.

Thank you, that's a pretty spiffy armour! I don't know maybe I just have no luck but everytime I search for female armour (not just here) those types are so rare. Anyway thanks Triaxx2 :) I guess I've got to look a little harder next time ;)

 

However my first post still stand, if anyone is interested I'd be thrilled!

You're welcome. I tend to look for good armors and not worry about how the mesh looks, but I love it when I find one that looks sensible on males and females. I also recalled that the Divine Paladin's Armor also looks exceptional on females, mostly since it's a very high-quality retex of Ebony.

The Divine Paladin/Aegis armour is really cool too, I like the detail work and it looks like a nice heavy armour for heroe type characters especially. I was always a fan of the ebony armour but it doesn't always fit my warrior characters. Oh and I figured I might as well share too before I let this thread die or get taken up. It's pretty popular but I like to look of the Tribunal Robes for mage characters, I was thinking of giving it to my mage follower Morgaine along with Volsung's cloak (from Cloaks of Skyrim mod). Thanks for helping me find a few more good ones :)

You're very welcome. I'll check out those robes.
