Requires FSMP!
DESCRIPTION
This is a custom heavy armor mashup I made for personal use a while ago. It combines the Cuirass from the "Resplendent Armor" mod by sarcasticshark with armor parts from LuciferX10's "Bigger and badder Lichking Armor".
I only imported and edited the meshes in Caliente's Outfitstudio to make them fit together by adjusting scale, position etc. so 99% of the credit goes to : sarcasticshark, LuciferX10 (aswell as all the people mentioned on their mod pages) and Caliente for his amazing Outfitstudio.
THE ARMOR
The armor can be forged by a skilled smith (requires ebony smithing perk) although you can just use the console if you want to cheat it by typing "help resplendent" and adding the right items via "player.additem xxxxxxxx y" where x is the id that will pop up and y is the amount of the item you want.
This heavy armor has very good stats but can still be tempered. It can also be enchanted except for the helmet which comes with its own custom enchantment.
Available in male and female versions!
THE (OPTIONAL) WEAPON
The optional Frostmourne File will add the Weapon from the pics (the Frostmourne sword pics, the armor pics still show a slightly older version)
This version of Frostmourne was reshaped to have a sharper and slimmer looking edge aswell as being resized to how it appeared in the "Wrath of the Lichking" Cinematic.
It will do frost damage aswell as capture the souls of enemies you slay. If you dont have an empty soul gem on you, the soul will still be devoured by the sword itself.
This powerful weapon is craftable with the ebony smithing perk and can also be tempered.
1 handed or 2 handed versions available.
INSTALLATION
YOU NEED TO INSTALL FSMP FIRST OR THE PHYSICS WONT WORK!
Install either manually by dragging everything into your Skyrim/Data/ directory or through a Mod Manager of your choice.
KNOWN ISSUES
Minor clipping here and there depending on which animations you use but very very negligible in my opinion.
Major/Minor clipping on the helmet
