Can you fix the incompatibility with UL Imperial Isle, please... and the bug with the guards, when you steal something or hit them, than they have the "Guard-Dialog" but you cannot try any Options, so they speak and speak and you must load the game..., PLEASE FIX THIS! This mod is as good as Realswords Nord YOU MUST FIX THIS AND Horns on Helms are cool...
SOMETIN: Ah... Sometin...
SOME Vikings HAD HORNS ON THEIR HELMETS! FOR EXAMPLE Ceremonial ... I know, that they had often other helms, a little bit like the Townguard-Helm but some of them had HORNS!
BUT THIS People are NORDS, THEY`RE NO VIKINGS! They're Nords from the lands of Skyrim, so... don't post three-times, I'm a Nord
Nords are based on the norsemen and no, they are not vikes (the original term for vikings, as viking is an action that means raiding), but neither were most of the norse population. The issue with your statement is that it is incorrect. There is actually no real evidence to support vikes wearing horned helmets, most archaeological studies show that most went bare headed or had leather headgear (as I recently found out, reinforced with wood).
The ceremonial aspect is actually winged helmets, which were not used by the vikes at all, they were used by the celts and also were in greek stories about similar groups who did not grow to be the vikes at all, and the only record of horned helmets are figurines found that were actually made about a thousand years before the viking age began. Although give Bethesda some credit, the horned helmets you see in skyrim are the lowest two tiers of armor, steel and iron, so in a way it makes sense. Oh also wealthy Vikes (such as cheiftains) wore bronze helms that have those fancy little eye parts.
Otherwise this mod is great and I may download it myself. I just had to spread some knowledge.
Edit: I meant them being the lowest tiers made sense due to the strategic disadvantage of your helmet having horns, that being that someone could pull it off or knock it off fairly easily in combat.
Good implementation of the market! I commend you good sir!
Keep up the good work.
Maybe you'd be awilling to texture "bloodied" or blood crusted version of each of the weapons im not a fan of the rather bright flat colours that they use atm, but otherwise awesome
is this mod Oblivion mod manager compatable? because i installed it and turned it into an OMOD file and all i got was missing mesh icons. changed the load order from last a couple of times and still the same problem any theories or suggestions would be welcome this mod looks great and i would really like to use it
It seems like a very good mod with true viking axes and swords, you only made one big error which is very common for who are not from scandinavia ( I´m from Sweden).
The vikings never used helmets with horns, that´s a myth, I´m sure this can be blamed on hollywood when they made the first movies about vikings in the fifties where all vikings had horned helmets.

Here is some of the best viking movies that holds true to how it really was without any glamour, I think everything was filmed on iceland:

The best game that has adopted reality with vikings are Mount & Blade:

It would be wrong to call these helmets Nord since they have nothing to do with reality.
But beside this miss, I must say its an inredible good work being made with the axes and swords.
