About this mod

Description =========== This mod was inspired by the game Assassin\'s Creed. It started out as an armor mod, but evolved into a larger quest. In BETA, this mod consists of all the different armor types inspired by Assassin\'s Creed, as well as a small quest to obtain them. In the future full release, the quest will be finished.

Permissions and credits
*****ADDED DOWNLOAD FOR LOWER RESOLUTION TEXTURES. If you are having performance issues, download the lowres texture pack and see if it helps. The textures may not be as pretty, but their file size (and therefor video memory usage) is reduced by almost as much as ~66%!!) Just remember that because they are reduced in size, they may not look as good.

Also, Known Conflicts section updated (Aug 18th)

*****The Patch has been re-uploaded as a small detail was forgot. If you were one of the 8 people who downloaded it for the half an hour it was up, you will need to re-download this one OR you can go into your data files, find the folder called 'sounds' and rename it to 'sound'. NOTE: if you have a mod already that alters sounds, you will already have a 'sound' folder and Windows will bark at you and say you can't rename 'sounds' to 'sound'. If that is the case, just copy all the contents within the folder 'sounds' and paste them into your 'sound' folder you already had.

Sorry guys.

This mod was inspired by the game Assassin's Creed. It started out as an armor mod, but evolved into a larger quest.

In the future full release, the quest will be expanded upon into a whole new adventure set in a separate worldspace.

Location
========
You can find the appropriate quest-givers near a tent outside the main gate going into Anvil.

Details

**********OK, here I explain the mechanics of certain items in the mod:

****Quest will only start if your character has a sneak skill of 71 or higher****

1. FEATHER - When you receive your feather to be bloodied, it adds a spell called "Feather Touch". When the target is dead, simply cast this touch spell on his corpse and a bloodied feather will be added to your inventory. Don't worry, on casting it the spell will be removed so you don't have it needlessly cluttering your spellbook.

2. Bladed Gauntlets - To activate the blades, simply go into hand to hand mode. Upon doing this, a spell will be cast for 5 seconds that makes any NPC that is not in combat and that is .5 meters away from you to have their health dropped to almost none so you can punch them and simulate a knife kill. After five seconds, the gauntlets just add as a hand to hand boosting item. They also act this way if the NPC you are hitting is in combat with you.

3. Sneakiness - There IS a way to get past certain guards without alarming them. Just think Hitman. Also, not every assassination ends in a kill.

4. Assassin Poser - This is added right when you start the game whether you started the quest or not. It works like any other pose mod and will let you do the AC squat like thing as well as a leaping kill pose. Just activate it in the inventory or hotkey it to use it.

Known Conflicts
===============

It has been brought to my attention that the placement of the tent outside of Anvil puts it right inside the hostel found with Better Beggars (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5037). As of right now, there is no compatibility patch but I will do one with the full release. For now, simply untick Better Beggars when playing this mod until you complete everything you want to do with it, and then just tick it back (I.E. get all the goodies and then just cover them up again :) ).

**If any of this is confusing, just leave a comment or send me a message. I know it is a good bit of required downloads, but I didn't want to package all those assets up with mine and steal downloads away from them. The only ones I didn't require a download on are Phitt's Crested Helm (since I retextured it anyway), the beard resources, and Cryo_'s ninja masks since they were altered and would of been new meshes anyway.

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.

***Install folders for the mod's assets are located in the ACarmor folders in the meshes and textures folders.
