About this mod

A personal overhaul for Marcurio.

Permissions and credits
As it says on the tin. This is a replacer I've been using for Marcurio (that mage mercenary in Riften).

I'm terrible at writing mod descriptions. I'm much better at listing bullet points. So:

  • The replacer is made to fit my personal headcanons of Marcurio (if you followed me on my old Tumblr account that I already forgot the password for and thus can no longer access, yeah, it's those headcanons.). If you think it's bad or it doesn't fit your personal headcanons of him, move along. There are better replacers than mine right here on Nexus. Seriously.
  • His weight is changed to 40. Use it on a new save or use Save Unbaker.
  • Two hairstyle options with and without facial hair each. 
  • His textures are standalone. his body is not. He'll use whatever body meshes you have installed.
  • Because this is for my personal use first and foremost, he's been made Essential, added some extra perks (including Lightfoot), and his level cap is removed. Don't use this mod if you plan to sacrifice him to Boethiah.
  • He now sandboxes around Riften marketplace during daylight and pleasant weather, so he's not stuck inside the Bee and Barb 24/7.
  • You might need to exclude him from RSV if you use that, as with most CotR-based overhauls.

Known issues and stuff:
  • His skull is sculpted to fit the shaved hairstyle, and... it's not perfect. My Racemenu-fu is rusty af. I tried my best.
  • His earrings probably won't hide under hoods or helmets (depends on how baggy the hood is).
  • Some people are having problems extracting 7z files. If you're one of these people, try installing 7zip (it's free) and extract the mod using that (don't use your computer's built-in WinRAR).

Armor seen in screenshots: Ferrum Nibenis and Modular Clothing System

more ramble below. feel free to not read this.
this took me almost two years, on and off. His preset did not want to cooperate with me. His jaw either looks too long or too short and I feel like the lips are two size too small. His mustache never looked right. I can't find a ponytail that looks right (it has to have the perfect receding hairline, dammit). For a while, I wanted to tape his face to a brick and throw a wall at it.

I'm not including this in my Ordinary People overhaul. i'm not going to, it's too niche. 

personal headcanon: I think he's Nibenese.

face definitely inspired by Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age: Inquisition and Rain from Mortal Kombat 11 & 1. He ends up not looking like either of them.
