📋 About This Mod

PLEASE NOTE THAT\'S AN OLD, NOT SUPPORTED VERSION. Please refer to

+++ DESCRIPTION +++ The MVSS originated from a personal, deep dissatisfaction with previous viking-related mods which never provide (IN MY VIEW) this essential component with proper esthetic results. Now, you can have your favourite personal VIKING SHIELD by crafting it in any forge of Skyrim (IRON CATEGORY) or just taking them from bandit corpses (who already will carry it by outfit). As any other common shield, you can also improve the armor value by using proper materials. If you like to get a quick general preview of the (almost) complete set you will find an interesting \"wall-decoration\" in \"The Bannered Mare\" of Whiterun. +++ INSTALLATION +++ 1) Unzip and copy the entire content of \"DATA\" folder into your personal skyrim\\Data folder. 2) REMBER to ACTIVATE \"+ MATHERIAN_VIKING_SHIELDS_SET +.esp\" by \"Nexus Mod Manager\" or Skyrim Launcher->DATA FILES. 3) ENJOY YOUR VIKING COMBAT ! +++ PERMISSIONS +++ Please, feel free to use that set for any mod or armor pack you like (possibly a good viking one !!!)... JUST QUOTE ME AND MY MEDIEVAL TOTAL WAR COMMUNITY (mtwitalia.freeforumzone.leonardo.it/) IN CREDITS. >>> DON\'t FORGET TO ENDORSE !!! :D <<< For further information, you can find me at MEDIEVAL TOTAL WAR ITALIA -> \"EMBASSY\" section (mtwitalia.freeforumzone.leonardo.it/) +++ CREDITS +++ The 3d .nif MVSS models are based on \"Worn Round Shield\" of superb \"Witcher 2 Shield Pack\" Skyrim adaptation by redxavier http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7328/ who generously allows to use his material by giving him credit for the porting.
