Updated to 1. 2 by Alex_Preit

Donations are welcome but -only- from those in a comfortable position to do so.❤️

Replacer - no standalone versions planned.

Uses only vanilla assets so this should be compatible with any retextures.

Note

If you like the vanilla Orc style you simply must check out Orcish Armor Rework by CrunchyThunder. It is technically compatible with this mod, though the more slimmed down style may clash with the bulkiness of this helmet and you'll have to pick just one of the helmet styles. I am personally using that mod for my Orc playthrough and I absolutely love it. Anyway, on to this mod.

Full best and body type support.

I know Oblivion is mostly a Wester/European/LOTR styled world, but some equipment, such as the Orc and Blades/Akaviri sets, have some clearly Asian influences that I wanted to double down on. I went for something vaguely representative of the late Northern Song Dynasty (mostly in terms of silhouette.) Specifically I took ques from the Liao Dynasty and (late) Song Dynasty era lamellar Zhou designs. Like my European styled helmets, this is not historically accurate, but it (hopefully) maintains the Elder Scrolls vibe with a bit more realism tossed in.

Ideally, I'd love to give this the animation bones of a hood or the Chainmail helm so that the lower section would deform and move more organically with the head and have with much less clipping. But Iunno how to do that. Currently it's very stiff, but I tried to model it such that there aren't too many gappy situations during normal gameplay.

I am not taking request at this time.

So if you ask for different versions, adjustments, or other requests, the answer will be no.🥰
