Many tales speak of the Battlespire, training ground of the Imperial Battlemages; a mighty fortress built in the heart of Oblivion.  Little is known about its construction, but there is a story that tells of a great cataclysm that struck soon after the Battlespire's completion, when the mages opened their portals and tore through the boundaries with Oblivion for the first time.  For when they opened the doors of Oblivion, those doors would not be shut.  The armies of Mehrunes Dagon poured into the Battlespire, destroying everything in their path, threatening to continue into Mundus and consume Tamriel.  But they say there was one warrior who fought against the throng.  His name is long since forgotten to Man and Mer, but the hordes of Oblivion still whisper his name:  "Slayer."  Wearing enchanted armor built by the Dwemer, the Slayer fought against the endless hordes and saved the Battlespire.  He then took the battle to Mehrunes Dagon, cutting his way across the Deadlands to the Prince himself and brought him to his knees.  Tamriel was saved, and the Lord of Destruction laid low.  But the Battlemages feared what this warrior had become, and locked him away in the mountains of Skyrim.  There he sleeps, waiting, for the jaws of Oblivion to open once again...




This idea began as a sort of spinoff from my MJOLNIR armor mod.  After doing Spartan armor, DOOM seemed like an obvious choice.  Using a number of different armor pieces from both the vanilla game and a number of mods, I pieced together different bits to create a somewhat convincing set of armor that still feels grounded in the world of Skyrim.  Then from there I started adding some more DOOM-inspired items and armors, while still trying to keep things as lore-friendly-ish as possible.



This mod adds a few new sets of armor, loosely based on the Praetor Armor from the DOOM series, as well as a whole arsenal of other weapons inspired by the franchise.

-There are two main types of armor:  Praetor Armor and Union Armor.  The Praetor armor is a heavy armor set based on the new generation of DOOM games.  The Union set is a light armor set based on the classic "Doom Marine" armor.

-The Praetor set, when found, is a raw steel color.  This set can be upgraded to a clean, painted set, based on either the colors shown in DOOM 2016 or DOOM Eternal.  (You can easily switch back and forth between color schemes as well.)

-There are also a number of "Night Sentinel" armors, both the white and black guard's armor and the bare-chested training armor.

-There are a number of brutal weapons from the DOOM series, including the Doomblade, the Crucible, Argent Energy Weapons, and yes, even the shotgun!

-There are a few surviving Night Sentinels that can become followers.

-The tomb of the Slayer is hidden in the mountains of Skyrim.  Within this tomb is a gateway into Oblivion, where you will face some of Mehrunes Dagon's strongest demons in the Arena of Punishment.

To find the secrets of the Slayer's Tomb, start by visiting the Mythic Dawn museum.  There is a book on display that will point you in the right direction.

Location Spoiler:



-The Doomblade is made to be either right- or left-handed, so I provided one of each.  If you use it in the wrong hand it will look backwards.  (Technically the game version is always left-handed, but I wanted to give you the option.)

-The Shoulder Launcher is technically an armor piece that has a short script that will add three distinct powers when equipped.  As powers, they can only be used once a day (to keep it from being OP.)  The powers will be removed when it is unequipped.  I believe the one-a-day limit will be reset if you re-equip again, so you can spam it if you choose.

-The Sentinel Ballista and the Unmakyr are both technically crossbows, so they can fire normal bolts (and normal crossbows can fire their ammo.)

-There is a "Blunderbuss Shot" item meant to act as ammo for the Blunderbuss.  This is technically just a filled grand soul gem, since the Blunderbuss is technically a staff.

-The Clannfear shown in the screenshots are not part of this mod, but added by 4thUnknown's mod.

-When installing, you might get a message to overwrite a script called "MANDGauntletScript".  This is just a simple script that adds/removes spells when you equip/unequip an item, and I use it in several of my mods.  Just go ahead and let it overwrite; it shouldn't change anythign.



-Because it uses the Unrelenting Force effect to knock enemies back, the shotgun doesn't work at extremely close range.  I'm trying to find a way to mitigate this, but I'm not sure you can.

-I have occasionally had the game CTD when switching from the shotgun to another weapon, or vice versa.  This might just be the high polygon counts or large textures; I'm not really sure, but it's pretty rare.



-Add custom dialogue to a few NPCs.
-Figure out how to make the energy shield and swords "pop" on and off like real energy weapons.
-Animate the energy weapons so they shimmer and pulse.
-Add more demons using various creature mods (Turns out vanilla Skyrim only really has like four daedra!)
-Expand the Arena to a full-blown worldspace and quest.
-More weapons!
-More armor variants!

(This so much nicer than anything I could come up with.  It works fine in tandem, since technically there are multiple Crucibles in DOOM.

Oblivion Gates - SoN6of6TrediS - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50933

And the Realms of Daedra - ThirteenOranges - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=15308

Pretty much any mod that adds more Daedra to slay.



As always I could never do this without all the modders that have come before and created such amazing content.  A million thanks for doing all the hard stuff!
