Guards of the Hold - Riften

In 1 collection by Becheman
Guards of the Hold
9 items
Description
This mod changes all Guard armour in Riften (The Rift Hold) with models imported from The Witcher II.

THIS IS NOT A REPLACER. VANILLA ARMOUR IS STILL IN THE GAME. YOU SHOULD START A NEW GAME TO GET THE BEST RESULT.

Guards were quite short-changed in Vanilla, basically being given Stormcloak armour with different colours. Not the best if you're a guard facing down a Stormcloak charge and get mistaken for the wrong side... This mod series creates a unique look for each hold, based on its prosperity and history. Solitude guards swan around in expensive half plate and ceremonial helms, whilst Morthal guards must make do with old maille and battered roundshields.

All guard armour is CRAFTABLE. Unlike the combined version of this mod on Nexus, these armours do not rely on scripts. Instead, the appropriate crafting skill is required as given below:

Solitude: Full (bodyguard only) or half plate, ceremonial helmet, pavise shield, ADVANCED SMITHING
Markarth: Half plate, pavise shield, ADVANCED SMITHING

Riften: Maille and gambeson, pavise shield, blackened helm, STEEL SMITHING
Whiterun: Maille and gambeson, pavise shield, STEEL SMITHING
Windhelm: Maille and gambeson, pavise shield, STEEL SMITHING
Falkreath: Maille and gambeson, round shield, STEEL SMITHING
Dawnstar: Maille and gambeson, round shield, STEEL SMITHING

Winterhold: Old maille, kite shield, STEEL SMITHING
Morthal: Old maille, round shield, STEEL SMITHING

Comments:

Does NOT require any DLC.

As it is only a replacer, this mod is compatible with all mods which affect the Guard faction (e.g. More War in the Wild), save for other replacers.

Suggest that this is placed near the END of your load order.

Equipment has been made slightly stronger and more expensive to compensate for its more robust construction. Guards are now not to be trifled with!

Designed to complement my "Rebirth of an Empire" and "The Stormcloak Rebellion" mods on Steam.

FAQs:

Q: Why are guards still in their old kit?
A: Start a new game

Q: Guards are naked?
A: Try unsubscribing, deleting the mod content from Skyrim--> Data and then re-subscribing.

Q: Armor appears black until really close?
A: This is an issue with the shaders on the armour ports. It will clear up by itself after short time or restarting Skyrim (NOT a new game) might get rid of it more quickly.

@ Alfie Nicholson: Sorry for the very late reply! Unfortunately the meshes were ported by another modder so I am mostly unable to change them. If it is any consolation, I think of the armour as androgenous, rather than male or female - if you see either in armour in real life, you really can't tell for most people!

I know it's unlikely, as these are ported from the Witcher 2, but could there be some female support, it's really disorienting talking to a female guard with a bloke's body.

@ LEGIT334: Sry for the late reply. The items are new, so a console command would give you the new items. Not sure what the IDs are but you can find them from the in-game console if you search for "Riften" (no quotes)

PS. What are the IDs for the set
