Kirkwall's Finest Reimagined

Kirkwall's Finest Reimagined

Today's fun fact is brought to you by Dragon Age 2!

"A bevor (/ˈbiːvər/ BEE-vər) or beaver is a piece of plate armor designed to protect the neck"

So now you know what that thing on Hawke's chest is called before I remove it!

This mod started initially because the only way to remove the bevor (see above) on the Kirkwall's Finest was not compatible with retextures since it used a texture edit. Well, I've done a bit of mesh editing by now, so I figured I'd finally make a version that does work with retextures. Oh, and get rid of that pouch. Oh, and wouldn't it be cool if we could have those spikes on both arms? Oh Maker, this armor has actual mesh errors that need fixing, too...

So yeah, as has become standard for my mods, I started with one goal in mind and ended up with 12+ versions of the armor. Hopefully you'll find at least one that appeals to you!

First, the BASICS!

• []This mod works for ALL lineages and body types

  []This mod is compatible with retextures

  []This mod is not compatible with mesh edits/swaps of Kirkwall's Finest

  []This mod uses the bundle editing method, so you won't need a Swap Library to use it. Just add, apply, and launch!

  Second, THE FIXES!

  The vanilla armor mesh had a few errors in it that I wanted to fix, most of them in the FEM version. Listed below are all the tiny little problems that most of you probably never even noticed, but which are now fixed. (See Images to see the Before/After versions of the fixes.) These fixes are present in all mod versions, and if you want the OG armor with these fixes, just download and use the 'Kirkwall's Finest Reimagined - Original with Fixes' version and you're done!

  []FEM version neckline has gaps in the corners where the skin mesh is bugged and not present. I fill in the neckline so there are no gaps.

  []FEM version's strap around the left thigh has large areas where the pants clip through the thigh strap. Especially noticeable if you prefer to use the 'Remove Skirt' mod. These clipping issues have been fixed.

  []Speaking of the FEM version's leg strap, the belt loop on it was using the wrong texture (MASC version was fine). Now it maps to the correct texture.

  []Some of the right arm buckles on the FEM version also used the wrong texture so that the metal looked like leather (again, MASC version was fine). I fixed it so all the buckles now use the right texture and look like metal again.
