True Armor

Note: There is a Special Edition version here!

Why You Need True Armor

In vanilla Skyrim there are different armor types and a multitude of armor sets, yet all of them fit somewhere into the spectrum of warm butter to cold butter. They all function the same, no differences, no diversity, no strengths and weaknesses to any of them. The armor system is shallow and boring. This also reflects on vanilla combat, which is pathetic at best. And while there are many combat mods around, none of them sufficiently address the role of armor in the equation.

That is where True Armor comes in. This mod completely overhauls the way armor fundamentally works in Skyrim, up to the point where it can practically replace the vanilla armor system completely. You will be hard pressed to find any mod which offers a more immersive, realistic and in-depth experience regarding the mechanics of armor.

  No more unrealistic and immersion breaking damage sponge enemies. Bring their health down to reasonable levels as you pass by.[]Fully customizable

  Tweak hundreds of settings to realize your vision of how armor should work, or simply load one of the included presets and jump straight into the action.[]Works with all armors, even customs
