📋 About This Mod

Nordic Bear Armor, An immersive™ armo(u)r mashup/retexture to finally fulfil the unused 'DLC2ArmorMaterialNordicLight' keyword from Dragonborn and enable you to wear dead bears for a laugh without looking like a Stormcloak. What are you

Have you ever shut up I said have you ever wanted to wear dead bears for a laugh, wished that the act of wearing dead bears for a laugh wasn’t copyrighted by the Stormcloaks and/or wished that there was a modded armour set in the Nordic style that’s not just the Nordic Carved Armor just set to light™?

Then sit down, my child, for I have a story for you:

In Dragonborn’s .esm, there exists the keyword ‘DLC2ArmorMaterialNordicLight’ and the outfit ‘DLC2ArmorNordicLight‘, which of course suggests that there was meant to be a light armour set in the Nordic style. This is why the Nordic armour has the word “Carved” in the name unlike the weapons and shield, as it would have differentiated between the two Nordic armour sets. I also believe that Frea’s proficiency in the Light Armor skill was not accidental as she was meant to wear this cut light armour; but since this armour was cut, she had to wear the next best thing aesthetically (but not changing her armour proficiency from light to heavy when they changed her armour to Nordic Carved WAS accidental).

Due to this GROSS INJUSTICE on Bethesda Game Studios’ part, I took it upon myself to make a unique (ok it’s a reskin and an armour mashup but what are you going to do about it, tell on me?) armour set that fits the ‘DLC2ArmorMaterialNordicLight’ keyword for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition 2016 PC Video Game with Finally A Nordic Light (Bear) Armor For The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (FANLBAFTESVSSE).

With the Nordic Bear Armor, you can wear dead bears for a laugh.

I decided that the original ‘DLC2ArmorMaterialNordicLight’ armour set would have been a reimagining of the Bear Armors from Morrowind’s Bloodmoon expansion because many Morrowind/Bloodmoon armours saw a return in the Dragonborn expansion and because of the bear motif on the Nordic Carved Armor. The Stormcloak Officer Armor was therefore the obvious base for this armour mashup/reskin. I also took elements familiar to the Nordic Carved armour and incorporated them in this armour (eg. Nordic Carved bear head-shaped pauldrons ≡ actual bear head pauldrons).

So if you ever wanted to fill that ‘DLC2ArmorMaterialNordicLight’-shaped hole in your The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition 2016 PC Video Game experience, wear dead bears for a laugh in the most vanilla way possible without feeling like a Stormcloak or if you somehow missed wearing the Stormcloak Officer armour when you downloaded that one Stormcloak armour replacer mod, then hmmmmmmmm maybe just maybe maybe maybe FANLBAFTESVSSE is the mod for you.
