📋 About This Mod
I\'m also making the armour,keep track of my progress here! http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/409567-skyrim-armourarmor/ Skyrim Banded Iron Shield Version 2. 0 Description: This mod adds a completely new shield to the game. It\'s based off a Banded Iron Shield from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The same one dragonborn is using in the trailer. Location: version 1. 0 it can be found in a chest in the imperial city market district. Version 2. 0 it can only be purchased or stolen from Olfand. A Nord who owns a shop called Nord Winds in Bruma. Notes: The polygonal count on the mesh is huge, I\'ve had no problems running it so far against dozens of guards but I would imagine people using older hardware will struggle. Change Log: Version 2. 0 - Edited mesh to reduce the spiral protrusion from the shield (they stick out a bit less). Edited UV\'s of Spirals and Bands. They now show the Nordic Glyphs a lot clearer. Edited texture of Shield.dds to include a varnished wood apearance to the back of the shield. Created new normal and glow maps for a more realistic metal look with surface scratches and a good balance of shine/shadow. Installation: Unzip the .rar file to your Oblivion\\Data\\ folder - Overwrite if prompted Enable the data file Recommended: Skyrim Dragonborn\'s HelmV2http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39158 Credits: Bethesda for such an awesome series of games.
