📋 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.

💡 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.
