barding Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 One of the things I got most excited about, with the release of Dragonborn for PC, was the custom armour mods that could come about, thanks to all the new resources. I'm a massive fan of the Dunmer and their culture, and I had always thought that more exotic armours, based on DB resources would be awesome. So this is my way of suggesting to the Nexus community how freakin' schweet it'd be to have mixed armours based on, say, some of the following combinations:A Dunmeri spellsword armour using parts (shoulders, coat-tails, etc.) from the Telvanni robes, and parts from the light chitin armour.Netch leather armour, probably using some vanilla elements, and some elements of chitin armours and maybe Solstheim civillian clothes.A version of the chitin armour helmet which removes the helmet but keeps the scarf, covering the lower face, and also keeps the goggles, or adds new goggles - something to protect against all those ash storms.Pretty much anything using the scarves attached to armours added by DB.Anything that adds more fancy cloth bits to existing armours, making them like armoured coats and robes and the like.I'd also really recommend taking a look at Leyr's Ashland Apparel Retexture Project for some ideas as to patterns or enhanced resources to use: the textile patterning in that mod is fantastic.

Deleted1308005User Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Close enough? :biggrin: http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/1308005-1360356022.jpghttp://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/1308005-1360962745.jpgCouple WIP's of mine. Sadly I've been lacking time lately to work on these.I like the bottom one more, as it goes fully around the head. (It's from the heavy chitin helmet)But goggles of light on are better. (Though not perfect)I might need to alter them a bit.. But aye, netch leather sounds like good.Maybe I'll start throwing up some sketches together once I have a bit more time..

barding Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Definitely cool. I'd install them if you uploaded them. Though any more extensive mixed armour mesh sets would be really amazing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barding Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have to admit, the awesomest armour ever for me would be one that blends aspects of the Witcher 2 Iorveth armour (or the Wanderer's Cuirass retex of it) with DB's chitin armour, perhaps using the retex I mentioned above. My mind would be blown, and I'm sure other folks' would be too...I know it's possible, though I'm never sure how - that's why I don't just do it myself!

AlienSensei Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Holy crap! The turban with the goggles look awesome! I think it'd be nice if somebody makes a replacer for the Dunmer assassin clothes with the goggles because honestly, I hate the skeletton looking parts of the clothes. Seriously. Off with 'em, maybe a hood instead and less bony parts for Morag Tong armor, but it won't replace the other ugly armor which non-assassins use. They can keep that ugly stuff, I dont want it out of the game. I just think Bethesda was lazy to add 2 same armors except one is darker. The darker one should look more like your picture, if used with the one with the cowl but goggles added to that it would look perfect imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barding Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 I personally like the chitin bits on the chitin armour. With some good retex mods they look pretty cool, and are also lore-important, and capable of giving me all sorts of Vvardenfeels. However, as I said, I'd love to see them mixed with some other armours, preferably ones from some of the brilliant Witcher 2 imports we have around the Nexus. Another idea I've had recently would be a light armour version of the Telvanni wizard robes (preferably with the awesome retex I mention in this thread's first post), but perhaps with a shorter less obtrusive skirt (taken from the Dawnguard armour, perhaps? - or the Witcher 2 Iorveth armour/Wanderer's Surcoat?) or the leg parts/greaves from the light chitin armour. I love how the torso on the Telvanni robes looks, but would love to adapt them for less of a pure-wizard character. The way these cravings are going, I might have to take up modelling myself, although my knowledge of nifscope is probably worse than zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzontlimixtli Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I've been keeping a lookout for some (hopefully Morrowind-style) Netch Leather armour for a while now. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorUltraBadass Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Werent the Ashlanders some kind of tribal dudes wearing glass and fur armors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
