Name: Garrett's Thief Armor (Hunter Archer Armor Retexture)
Author: h34dup (Original armor by protese)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Short Description:
This mod adds a new craftable armor (male-only) inspired by the protagonist of the Thief series, Garrett. A retexture of protese's Hunter Archer armor.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long Description:
If you're as die-hard a fan of the Thief series as I am, you've played as a Garrett-inspired character in TES since the old days. You've probably spent enough time trying to retcon the One-Eyed Thief into the Elder Scrolls universe, but in the back of your mind, you know he wouldn't be caught dead in a set of taffin' Thieves Guild armor. Well, lament no more, foul heathens, thine prayers to the Master Builder hath been answered!

Garrett's Thief Armor is a standalone, craftable armor set, retextured with permission from protese's excellent Hunter Archer armor (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/43649/), that will give your [male-only, sorry ladies] character the look and feel of a master thief. The stats are based on Linwe's Armor (the only remotely acceptable Vanilla armor for his sneaksiest), providing ample protection without turning a nimble thief into an overprotected tank. This armor's look and feel is closest to that of the titular "Thief" in the free-to-play standalone Quake 3 mod known as The Dark Mod (check it out if you haven't yet!), if possible, I hope to add more variations inspired by the original games.

Armor Pieces:
Garrett's Thief Boots
Garrett's Thief Cuirass
Garrett's Thief Bracers
Garrett's Thief Hood

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Obtain:
1.) This armor set is craftable at any forge, under the "Leather" category. The cuirass and hood require a few special miscellaneous items (linen wraps and lockpicks).
2.) You can find a set of this armor in the Ratway beneath Riften, in the small dead-end alcove next to that sweet room with the battleaxe on the chopping block and the green vines.
3.) Open your console and type "help garrett" then use "player.addItem XXXXXXXX 1" to add each piece to your inventory, where XXXXXXXX is the item's ID from the help results.

Future Plans:
I will most likely explore a variation or two on this armor (eg. leather instead of mail under the tunic). Your suggestions are welcome! If you know of other armor models that with author permission could be re-textured for the G-man, please feel free to suggest in the comments.

This is my first release for Skyrim, it was the one I was born to do...I appreciate your feedback, suggestions, and endorsements!

My laptop setup is not ideal for taking screenshots, so please-- if you have a sweet, souped-up rig, please take some screens of Garrett's Thief Armor in-action and share them here!

Thanks and happy thieving!
