Female Guards Oblivion Plugin Version 2. 0 (2012) Author: Crypts Of The Dead seasonsofwither67@yahoo.com ------------ DESCRIPTION It always bothered me that there are very few female guards in the game. You\'d think with the crisis and all, there would be such a demand for reinforcements, they would be likely to recuit more females into the Imperial Legion. Well, I think so any way, so \"Female Guards\" was born. NOTE: Anyone who has played Morrowind, may know of my \"Imperial Guards\" which also adds female Troopers to the game. ------------ There are a total of 27 females added to the ranks. All are Imperial since all the guards in the legion \"are\" Imperial. The list below explains where they\'ve been placed. ------------ 1. Anvil Night Post. 2. Anvil Castle Day Post. 3. Anvil Guard Escort. 4. Bravil Night Post. 5. Bravil Castle Night Post. 6. Bravil Day Stable Post. 7. Bruma Day Patrol. 8. Cheydinhal Castle Day Post. 9. Cheydinhal Day Patrol. 10. Cheydinhal Day Stables. 11. Chorrol Day Post. 12. Arboretum District Day Post. 13. Arcane University Day Post. 14. Arena District Day Post. 15. Elven Gardens Day Patrol. 16. Market District Night Post. 17. Palace Guard Day Post. (Inside near Entrance). 18. Talos District Day Patrol. 19. Temple District Day Post. 20. Waterfront District Day Post. (Lighthouse Barracks). 21. Legion Forester (Inn of Ill Omen). 22. Legion Rider (Roxey Inn). 23. Ligion Rider (Chorrol Route). 24. Legion Rider (Near Wellspring). 25. Leyawiin Castle Night Post. 26. Skingrad Castle Night Post. 27. Wawnet Inn. All I did was take one male guard from each area and changed gender to female. This way I didn\'t have to create new NPCs or mess with speech, and AI schedules and what not. I did alter the faces and hair styles, and tried to make them as attractive as possible. Some may look a bit rough, but hey, they\'re Legionnaires. They\'re suppose to be rough, right? ;-) Also, all helmets have been removed from these female guards. This way, you will be able to see right off that they are truly female. I did however, leave the hood on the Arcane University guard, since they\'re required to wear them. ------------ NOTE: You \"WILL\" notice some darkned facial textures on 1 or 2 of the females which resembles \"Five O\'Clock Shadow.\" There\'s really no way to fix this without a texture program or adding a new face intirely. You have to remember that the game was not set up to have a lot of Female Legion Soldiers, and so the male faces are set in stone so to speak in the means of textures like thickness of eyebrows, lip color, ect. Changing them to female was a bit tricky. I picked out males that were very young and had no facial hair. I did the best I could with what I had to work with. I think they all look pretty good. The \"Five O\'Clock Shadow\" I mentioned is not that noticable. IMPORTANT: If you have the older ve
