Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
In honor of the new thread, let me be the first to complain about the lack of immersive chainmail mods out there. Ive found something like two that actually look like real armor, and the rest are either all fetish wear or don't have a clue what chainmail is supposed to look like (or both).

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
I mean given the prevalence and sheer awesome power of Archers, plus the lack of insulation, I wouldn't want to be caught dead in Chainmail. Also the Nord Hauberk from Immersive Armors is the best I've seen.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
Yeah, that's the one im using right now. Also, while yeah, archers suck for anything less than plate armor, hide and leather which 90% of all of Skyrim's non-plate is made of is not going to improve that situation.
Also, chainmail was still typically worn over a gambeson for padding, so its not like it would be cold.“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
I am reminded of David Eddings The Elenium, where the Gendian Knights of Thalesia wore chain, instead of plate like most knights. When asked why, they reply that there are enough rivers that they wanted armor they could get out of in a hurry (i.e. before they drowned).

Or, of course, you could use a different mod manager, such as Wrye Bash, which handles installing most mod packages natively.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
So I went onto nexus mod manager and it seems the hearthstone unofficial patch has been deleted. Because of course it has.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
I think the unofficial patches have been folded into the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch (or Special Edition Patch, depending on which version you're using).

All Legendary Edition Patch is, is the multiple patches combined into one file.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
Honestly immersive armors is not a strength of Skyrim. They've always looked more fantastical to me, even when you ignore the odd chainmail bikini. With Arena and Daggerfall basically just outlining the character sprite in non-flesh colors, in Morrowind, a majority of the armors were used to display the alien nature of dark elves (glass armor, chitin armor, daedric armor). Oblivion and Skyrim just kept a majority of said alien armor types.
Personally I would have been more fond of better stated "barbaric" light and heavy armor (Stahlrim looks f-ugly).

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
It's the fur bikinis that bother me most. These people spend all day standing pretty much stationary in a 24 hour blizzard, and they wear "armour" that leaves 60% of their flesh exposed?
It's not as if there's a shortage of fur. There's more wild animals per acre in Skyrim than in the average zoo."None of us likes to be hated, none of us likes to be shunned. A natural result of these conditions is, that we consciously or unconsciously pay more attention to tuning our opinions to our neighbor’s pitch and preserving his approval than we do to examining the opinions searchingly and seeing to it that they are right and sound." - Mark Twain

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
Theoretically, this was fluffed as a vulnerability to magical attacks. Altmer were such fundamentally magical creatures that they really struggled to shrug off magical attacks. As opposed to the nords and dunmer, who were just so innately resistant to their otherwise hostile environments that it spilled over into resisting artificial forms of it as well.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
There's a mod I use that gives cold weather an effect on your character, up to the point of killing them if they stay in the cold too long. Nords definitely have a huge resistance to the cold in that mod, but not to the point of staying in the snow naked. XD
I think it's the only way to make fur armor useful in that game, actually.Last edited by Resileaf; 2019-01-05 at 04:14 PM.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XV: This is my Thu'um Stick
huh i never really picked up on egyptian/arabic influences. then there's also stuff like the mushroom towers... haha. that's interesting, i'll have to go back and take a look! But yeah, "Generic European Medieval Fantasy" is about as played out and overdone as you can get at this point in time.
