The Armour of the Gods

[Westly]

This mod originally started out as request to make Lynda Carter's(the voice of the Nords) face playable.
Though, after I finished making the face, something stirred within me to make
this mod go even further; to really make it my own. Lynda Carter, while the voice of
the Nord women, might be better known for her role as Wonder Woman in the 1970's
TV series. I thought it would be fun to add a WW costume for the player to find as well
(mind you just for fun). After I made this, I proceeded to make a male version (I couldn't
well leave the blokes out of options). And then one thing led to another, and before I knew it,
I had 4 sets of armour, and a few more on the way!

So this is how the mod will be set up:
Easter Egg Hunt clue and fetch type quest. This means that I will hide the armour sets
all over Vvardenfell, similar to Leaves of Lorien. Instead of levelled lists, though, there will be
only one set to find of each. Clues will be provided to guide the player to the armours. I will try
my best not to be vague with the directions (though I hope to still be a bit clever with them).
The armours will be placed in a special glowing chest, so they will be easy to identify when you
find them. Each armour will have a special guardian that must be bested in order to unlock the
chest, but after that, of course, the armour is all yours. There will be 10 armours represented by
various commonly known gods of the Greek pantheon:

The Armours of:
Aphrodite- Calm Spells, Charm Spells (humanoid, beast)
Athena- Fortify Intelligence, Fortify Maximum Magika, Telekinesis Spell
Demeter- Shield Spells, Resistance to Disease
Artemis- Beast Tongue, Fortify Marksman, Fortify Speed
Hephaestus- Resistance to Fire, Fire Spell, Fortify Health, Fortify Armourer
Apollo- Light Spell, Fortify Personality, Mercantile, Luck
Hermes- Fortify Speed, Agility, Acrobatics, Levitation Spell
Ares- Fortify Strength, Fortify Attack, Magika Resistance
Poseidon- Water Breathing, Swift Swim, Frost Spell
Hades-Disintegrate Spells, Drain Health, Drain Magika

Vesta will bear her name on a constant light source for the player to find.
Zeus will patron a weapon, and Hera as well.

I thought about adding Dionysius in to the mix, having what ever item I attribute
him to having a constant "drunk" effect on the player (you know, god of wine and all) (LOL).
Enh?.., maybe not.

The Armour of the Amazons will be the comic style WW outfit, and will be more difficult
to obtain (kind of an easter egg of all easter eggs).


Here are pics so far:

These have no God assigned as of yet:
Armour 1 Male
Armour 1 Female
Armour 2
Armour 3


The Armour of Hades:
The Armour of Hades: Female
Armour of Hades: Male


Armour of the Amazons 1
Armour of the Amazons 2

Also, each armour will have an matching shield and cloak (highly enchantable).
I really am getting my hands full with quite a few mods, but what good is ADD if it is not used?
I really look forward to completing this mod and sharing it with all of you wonderful people!
Stay tuned for more updates...(I am good at those)

Armour of Hades: Female Revamped

I added an armoured bodice to the bustier to enhance
that this is armour and not clothing (hopefully).
Which version is preferable?
More to come, as always...

[Westly]

Well, I am going away for the next 4 days, so there will not be any updates from me during this time.
I did sketch a little on the male cuirass for the Armour of Ares, though its final design is not completely decided.

Armour of Ares Alpha

Right now it has a "flesh" quality to it, though I am seriously thinking of changing the fleshy bone
colouration to a more gunmetal appearance. Its kind of up in the air ATM.

I will be back Monday with more updates.
'Til then, take care of yourselves.

This is starting to feel like I am talking to my self .


OK, so I had trouble sleeping (I always get this way before going on a trip. The anxious tension before leaving the comforts of home gets the best of me every time).

So I tinkered a bit more on the Armour of Ares, this time the female version and pauldrons.

The Armour of Ares Alpha 2 (w/ pauldrons)

Now I really must try to get some rest.
Good Night and Good Morning!

I get that feeling alot around here myself.

The armors look nice westly, a bit too much material for my tastes, but nice none the less.

that is nice armour Westly, you should make an Oblivion version to. And yes it is quiet here. And I approve of Slayer's new avatar.

I'll add a "sexier" alternate version just for you, Slayer ;D.
Updates later, as I just got back from a long trip.

Yay - good stuff mate. I just got back too... from a 3 (4?) month hiatus from posting/modding/talking to myself.

Glad to see there are still some die hards posting in the old dusty place though. Oblivion did nothing if not kill off some large parts of the community and its interest in modding.... including me I'm afraid.

But mayhap I can muster up the will to fight off the influx of ego maniacs who mod for Oblivion so we mere mortals can worship them from afar. [/waffle]

Sorry for spamming up your thread though, Westly mate. Good stuff as I said... and thanks for still being around.

That's how I feel all the time on TESF.

Anyways, looking good so far, and I can't see anything that looks bad so far.
Being a person with interest in history and mythology, I like this.

Westly this is awesome stuff. Are you still working on it? I think my favorites are Armor of Ares Alpha 2 with Pauldrons and the Armor 3 in the beginning. But would be very proud to wear any of it. It's beautifully done.
