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 sneakiest), 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 Doom 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.

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.
