SkjoldBjorn Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Awsome work right there, I just started making a mod that was supposed to add viking clothing, armor and weapons to skyrim, so far only weapons and shields, if you keep making armors like these i don't have to :POh and the cloak with fur, not a problem, the mod offers standalone cloaks with it's own biped slot, so we can just use those with the armors ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to use the Northman Armour when released (should be tomorrow) for your mod. Except for the furry shoulder part as Nivea will need to be contacted for permission before its use. Also Dejawolf from the Taleworlds forums is responsible for the Helm mesh and texture, but has uploaded it as a modders resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1308005User Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just asking, any chance you'd upload some of the armors once they are done?As I guess it's going to take some time to finish the whole mod (Or make it in such a phase its possible to upload it, and then just patch it regularly with new armors) I am just so excited on these, and I am sure this mod would get attention if you'd give hungry kids small bite :D Good work on them all, I thought that archer armors was a bit too colorful, but then again, it really fits well into fantasy theme. I love the idea of replacing armors, vanilla armors are a bit boring, and these armors are simple, but look really great. Trying to think how to explain it..Like, I can believe that adding that archer armor on all guards wouldn't cause lag, because it's not too complicated.Most of armors in nexus are too complicated, and you can't really use them to replace something common. Gah. I hope you understood the point.GREAT WORK, Keep it going, and don't give up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you understood the point.GREAT WORK, Keep it going, and don't give up! lol.. I do understand you believe it or not.. :tongue: I intentionally chose the components for the archer to be quite simple.. In the same way that I made General Tullius and Jarl Ulfric's armours more elaborate. They would lose their specialness if they were competing with a multitude of other OTT armours. There will be many simple designs for town guards, and other low level fighters. Colourful yes. But in my re-imagination of the Cyrodilic Empire not too colourful.. The Empire is one of great power and wealth (if what on something of a decline). Im am thinking of all the pomp and regal attire of a powerful house in medieval Europe. The empire will dress richer and more extravagant, whilst the locals of Skyrim will have a much more worn and practical attire, but still looks as though they have been influenced by the Empire as they are (were) part of it for some time. The Yeoman Archer outfit is loosely based on the following as Nuked rightly guessed: http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j398/ActusReus/witcher2archer2.png Edit: Sorry I seem to have unintentionally/intentionally glossed over your request for the release of some of the armours as and when they are done..lol.. There will be some that are released as separate stand alone mods, however it is likely to be those that despite having work put into them I feel do not fit into the larger imagining of my goals.. E.g. the Northman Armour which will most likely be updated into a fully working version (Male only) later today. To release them all separately and in re-placer and non re-placer versions as and when they are complete, is just... well.. without wishing to sound lazy as I am not (this takes up nearly all of my free time) its just far too much CK work for my liking.. If anyone comes to me with offers of help in this department for stand alone non-re-placers then I will listen.. Edit 2: Just finished making minor adjustments to the Dark Coat of Plates non-faction armour and added a Helm.. The differences are small but important to my satisfaction with the armour..http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j398/ActusReus/Thread%20Banners/NonFaction.png Dark Coat of Plates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanisRex84 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks Red, I'm a big fan of your work.. so thanks for commenting! :biggrin: I spent this evening drinking beer and doing a re-re-texture for the Imperial Yeoman Archer.. cannot believe I carried on whilst a little drunk, but here it is.. lol.. probably think it looks better than it actually does as I have had a few.. :facepalm: http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j398/ActusReus/Thread%20Banners/IVCyrodilicEmpire.png Imperial Yeoman Archer V3 As you might be able to recognise it is based on the archer's outfit from the Witcher 2's video, the guy is posted above.. But obviously still has the heraldry of my interpretation of the Empire.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronorix Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) It turned out fantastic! Keep doing what you do Actus! Also Jarls, have you thought of the Idea to give all Jarls special armor to match their Hold? And i think it would be great if you also altered common clothes! Vanilla common clothes look so ehh if you get what i mean. -Gron Edited October 27, 2012 by Gronorix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I will be.. :thumbsup: Whilst I probably will not be replacing every single item of vanilla clothing, I will certainly be replacing the Jarl's clothing amongst some others. I actually like quite a few of the standard clothing, might just make them look a little warmer.. E.g. the farm clothes and the blacksmith clothes are fine IMO, so I don't wish to create any extra unnecessary work for my self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronorix Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 You're welcome. And that's great news, this project has got me so excited that i could even care less about the next DLC! -Gron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
