📋 About This Mod
This is a mod that changes the Dark Brotherhood assassin\'s armor to one that looks more like the one in Oblivion\'s concept art (in my opinion, of course ;-). None of the original DB armor statistics have been altered. All that was done was replace the relevant meshes and textures, as well as adding the mask to the NPCs inventory. Male and female versions of the armor are included. Also, different sets of alternative textures have been used to create different cuirass and masks (with appropiate higher stats) to distinguish between the different ranks of Dark Brotherhood assassins. Finally, new weapons have been added to replace the Dark brotherhood\'s arsenal, as well as customizing Dandras Vules (head of the DB in the game) with a unique look: new face, armor, and a special version of Vagabond Angel\'s Hissyo katana.
This mod replaces the Dark Brotherhood assassin's armor in Oblivion with a design inspired by the game's concept art, while keeping all original stats unchanged. It's a purely cosmetic overhaul for players who prefer the concept art look. With 274 endorsements and 4,890 downloads, it has a modest following despite its age.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Faithful to the concept art look, if that's your jam
- No stat changes means no balance worries
- Decent community support for a 2008 mod (274 endorsements)
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — likely outdated for modern Oblivion setups
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions provided
- Only affects the standard armor, not other DB gear
For Oblivion players who love the Dark Brotherhood and want a fresh look that matches the original concept art. If you're a purist who prefers the vanilla armor or want gameplay changes, skip this one.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable the mod in the launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that for easier removal.
- Check the mod's file structure to ensure it overwrites the correct armor meshes — if you have other armor mods, load order matters.
