About this mod
A texture recolor for the nightingale armor to make it appear to be more like steel plate. Male and female versions available.
- Permissions and credits
While playing around one night with Exium's recolor of the nightingale armor i got the inspiration to make my own version. I like most people love the look of the Nightingale armor because it's a more supernatural armor and the look of it is absolutely beautiful and quite elegant if you look at some of the finer details. I honestly reminded me of something you would see in a batman comic/movie/cartoon. I usually like to play as a warrior running around in a full set of ebony or a custom armor mod/compilation, but i would always make that exception for the Nightingale armor. Even though i play as a warrior i do understand the merits and benefits of being a stealth character with the sneaking and lock picking. Now i can run around as a shadow warrior with a little more emphases on the warrior aspect because sometimes it's just more fun to jump into (or start one ;) ) a melee and train wreck a group of enemies. This file will replace the default nightingale texture for you and anyone who wears the armor.
This is my first mod attempt and i think the textures came out rather well all things considered. i hope you all enjoy it :).
update 10/20/2013 female version is now available :)
