Another great armor author i highly reccomend that nobody seems to use a lot is gearshout. He makes a wide variety of armors that use vanilla assets, but still look very unique and can make your character stand out. If you love roleplaying, his armors are perfect for you. He has stuff from elven armors to thief and assasin armors, each having their own uniqueness and care into them. Great vid as always redshift. Hope you release a part 2 when we get even more armor sets releasing on the nexus!

I'll have immersive weapons' great rider's blade acting all knightly and then I'll see yhorm's machete from DaS3 for sale and be like "I SMASH".

@betin731 7 ай бұрын

If you want wearing these armors to actually make a big difference, I highly recommend "True Armor SE". It makes all armor FAR more effective. (To balance this out, it also limits the NPC health increase per level - so combat is still fun.) No longer will a rusty bandit sword cut straight through your solid steel breastplate like butter. The mod also takes weapon material into account - steel arrows will bounce off your orcish armor, but daedric arrows will punch right through.

@OutsidersLaptop 7 ай бұрын

These look really cool. I think in terms of which is least likely to conflict with an economy overhaul mod, Sentinel's probably my best bet--unless anyone else has experience using economy mods in tandem with custom weapons and armors. Last time I tried, I think I was able to craft daggers I could then selll for several thousand gold apiece, but on a few rare occasions, the prices would revert to something reasonable.

Always nice to see an upload, and I gotta say I love Believable Weapons but I also like LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons as well for the two-handed weapons, and personally I think the combination of the two could look great, thought I'd mention it if you wanna try it out, great video as always my friend.

alternative to the Bow, there is Huntsman, if i could keep only one mod, this would be the first that comes to mind for me, and wiht the "stat fix" patch, it works uniquely compared to other bows, as it has the same DPS as other late game options once fully upgraded, but fires much more quickly, so instead of being a stealth archer, you can be a midrange one with basically a semi-auto machinegun.

@TotallyNotASpy1 there's too many overhaul types to keep track of, but i get what you mean. some are really good, others have some hit and misses. but that's the thing about any mod, people have their own vision in what they wanna create. so it mainly comes down to, how lore friendly there willing to stay close to the game. those type of mods do exist, but if you listen to people now a days though, you'll hear things like it's old and dated. you gotta make it feel fresh, but people who never played Skyrim wouldn't know anything about the lore if all they see is a bunch of new armors. plus considering Dark Souls is popular, it's understandable why you see some crossovers. Kingdom Come is a good game, but i can't picture those weapons and armor in Skyrim. yeah maces and axes especially can be hit and miss, i tried this one called Immersive Armors. it looked pretty nice in game, they even changed up some of the clothing in the game. but even though they stayed close to the lore, there were too many people i noticed wearing something on their head. some parts of the map i can see that, but in Riverwood and Whiterun half the NPC's walking around were wearing a head piece. also with Aela, maybe it's just me but i prefer her vanilla look. I've seen way too many mods oversexual her, and im just not into people looking like plastic dolls.
