High Elf and Orc Cultural Armor

Description

This mod alters the armor sets for most named Orc and High Elf NPCs by replacing their existing light or heavy armor and shields with the corresponding Orcish and Elven equivalents, respectively. Unique armor and other inventory items remain unchanged.

Features:

• [] Armor Replacement: Orc NPCs will wear Orcish armor and shields, while High Elves will wear Elven armor and shields. This mod only puts armor pieces on NPCs that already wear that specific armor piece. This maintains the natural variety of npc equipment in the base game. Most unique NPCs will always use their racial armor sets when applicable. Generic NPCs will use leveled armor as detailed in the Generic Armor Progression section below.

  [] Armor Skill Levels: If an NPC’s armor changes between heavy and light, their skill levels are switched accordingly.

  [] Enchanted Armor: NPCs retain the same chance of spawning with enchanted armor pieces, which remain unchanged by this mod. Therefore, enchanted items may not necessarily be part of the designated armor sets.

  Generic Armor Progression:

  • []Orc NPCs Armor Progression (Based on Level):

    []Level 1: Iron Armor + Iron Shield

    []Level 3: Steel Armor + Steel Shield

    []Level 6: Steel Armor + Dwarven Shield

    []Level 10: Orcish Armor + Orcish Shield

  []High Elf NPCs Armor Progression (Based on Level):
  • []Level 1: Hide/Leather Armor + Fur Shield

    []Level 3: Leather Armor + Leather Shield

    []Level 6: Chainmail Armor + Chainmail Shield

    []Level 10: Mithril Armor + Mithril Shield

    []Level 15: Elven Armor + Elven Shield
  Note: The leveled list tables are built with the Ascension / Leveled Creature and Item Diversity mod in mind, so lower-tier armor sets do not necessarily use every piece, ensuring better visual cohesion with the final sets.
