I have been lurking in this community for years. Always felt bad for not being more active. Well no more. I have made quite a few assets and have concepts for a now canceled/abandoned game and since they are mine and I didn't want them to lay in the dust pin that is my hard drive. I have decided to repurpose them for Skyrim.
Without further ado. I present my Alveden Royal Knight set.
- 2 Heavy armor variants
- 2 "'medium" armor variants
- 2 light armor variants
- 2 clothing variants
- 1 Pike
- 1 Halberd
- 1 Greatsword
- 1 Longsword
- 1 Shield
All with recipes and tampering, stats "balanced" around ebony gear
Requirements:
- 3BA/CBBE based body textures
- Animated Armoury - DAR Version - New Weapons with animations
- RaceMenu for the highheels to work properly.
Also included my character Pennelope who serves as a follower and vendor to sell you the items, if crafting isn't an option. (pricy though haha)
Pennelope was a Royal Knight of the kingdom of Alveden. While escorting the princess on a voyage, their ship was destroyed in a storm. However, she awoke on the shoreline of Dawnstar. She found herself in a completely unfamiliar night sky and land. Separated from her friends, homeland and with no means of return. She must find purpose in the war torn lands of Skyrim. With only the gear and knowledge of her old world. She must find the meaning of why the Gods brought her here. Is it possible her countryman on the voyage came here too? Will you help her find purpose and even possibly help her return home? (There are no plans to make this anything more than roleplay, sorry.)
Royal Knights of Alveden:
By no means should their seemingly light apparel fool you. What they lack in heavy armor plating, they more than make up for it in flexibility and sheer combat prowess. Which train in many schools of weaponry. The quality of craftsmanship by their head blacksmith, Thomas Aurelius, bears no similarity in Tamriel. Not only does the Gear display high prestige, but the plating is highly durable, capable of withstanding heavy blows.
- Location: Dawnstar - Windpeak Inn
- Voice: Female Commander
- Race: Imperial
- Class: CombatWarrior2H "Warrior"
Known issues: (that I may or may not fix)
- No blood on weapons (for some reason they stay permanently on or don't show at all, so left it out of this release)
- You may experience some clipping here and there. Which may look more or less bad depending on the animation or pose. (I've spent hrs trying to address 99% cases, but there are animations/poses that are too extreme and stretch/collapse the mesh, not sure what I can do.
- Probably some bug somewhere or thing I overlooked, first release here so yeah.
Future Plans
- Fix some issues and fine tune mesh more to address clipping.
- Add the blood Fx to the weapons
- Maybe make the male variant of this set. (won't be as many variants)
- Probably repurpose/create the rest of my stuff.
