Sursed Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Ok while this mod is still in development but has a functional beta, I start a new follower mod. Just as the Xivilai the new follower comes with custom armor (the one on the pictures), arrows, bow and other equipement. This time it's a Wood Elf girl Her name is Ecath. Thanks to Artsick she has now a unique hip dagger (the one on the first picture is obsolet) and a very nice left armlet Now Ecath is looking for suitable body warpaint earrings, ring, necklace and dagger ... Any ideas? A dagger should be wood elf hunter style beautiful but realistic, practical and not too fancy or fantazish so to say.
SmedleyDButler Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Maybe have it match the one made my Artsick? By the way, it looks like you separated the cloak mesh in the Linkle outfit. I was going to do that myself but seeing as you've already done it, would you mind sharing?
Frankfranky Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 find a pic of some earrings you like. mb I will take a break from shoes and make them for you.

And here on LL there a conversion of Ninirim's separated meshes to UUNP. If you can not find the mods send me a PM.

Harvald Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Well, I could ask a friend of mine, Apsalar. She portet some weapons (free resources) from Oblivion to Skyrim. https://www.elderscrollsportal.de/ressourcen/apsalars-waffenpack.3061/ (for SE), but I am quite sure she has the same weapons for Skyrim LE. I think she would agree to use the weapons in your mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/26478 ( only few of them) axe, shield, dagger and blade of this picture https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/38787/ think she is able to retextuere it.

The weapon on the second pic is interesting, I would like to have it in my game but not for Ecath. I am currently retexturing an elven dagger from one very famous mod. Here is what I have done for now The retexturing is not finished yet. And I am not sure I will finaly chose this dagger for her...
SmedleyDButler Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 You could also retexture the shortsword of backstabbing from FavouredSoul's Ultimate Assortment.

It's a beautiful weapon. One of my followers have it. However I'd rather not say it is a wood elf hunter style weapon, even if it were retextured.
SmedleyDButler Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Looking good! I suppose she doesn't observe the Green Pact very closely... but then it seems very few of Skyrim's Bosmer do.

Thanks, I am just curious, what do you mean when you say "doesn't observe the Green Pact" (sorry english is my native language, it is not even my first foreign language... )?

According to the lore, the Green Pact is the code Bosmer sworn to follow after Y'ffre stabilized and gave them form, basically allowing them to exist as they do. Main points can be summarized in "don't harm the plant life in Valenwood", "don't eat plants, only meat" and "eat the flesh of your enemies after you defeat them so it doesn't rot". So "observing the Green Pact" basically means being carnivore only and eating everything you kill. Including other Bosmer, or elves, or humans, or beast races. Basically cannibalism. You get the idea .

But then I do not understand what makes SmedleyDButler think that Ecath does not observe the Green Pact. Have I missed something?
SmedleyDButler Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 In TES lore, the Bosmer obey something called the "Green Pact" where they not do eat or use plants or plant matter. However, this tradition seems to be treated something similarly to the way Jews are supposed to not eat pork or Muslims are supposed to not drink alcohol, in that only very serious believers observe it completely, while many indulge sometimes (often quoting excuses or loopholes) and some ignore the rules entirely. It seems like most of the Bosmer in Skyrim ignore the pact completely (in fact one wood elf added by Interesting NPCs jokes about it a fair bit... I think some Vanilla wood elves do too) and even a lot of serious believers in the homeland of Valenwood use loopholes to ignore it (for instance, it is perfectly for okay a Bosmer in Valenwood to buy and use an axe with a wooden handle if the wood was cut and worked by a human or Dunmer or something outside of Valenwood). EDIT: Haha, that what I get for walking away for a bit while typing. I joked about it because Ecath's dagger is very clearly-wooden-handled and her bow is also made of wood.

Thanks for the interesting info, by the way.
Sursed Posted March 9, 2018 Author Posted March 9, 2018 Decided to chose and retexture another dagger

Sursed Posted March 10, 2018 Author Posted March 10, 2018 Well, I would like to give Ecath a good realistic warpant of the same top quality as this wonderful mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24867 I do like the way tetrodoxin did it to his wonderful Lilu Spoiler Unfortunatly I was not able to find any suitable warpaint. So I had to stick to tattoos. This is the result. Cant say I am stisfied... Attention I have covered the private parts with black paint but still Ecath is naked on these screenshots Spoiler If anyone knows a good warpaint (not a tattoo - the difference is that a tattoo is more detailed), please let me know.
Sursed Posted March 11, 2018 Author Posted March 11, 2018 Got permissions for left armlet and hip dagger and brown sleevs Began to texture an outstanding earrings model made by Frankfranky I still need a suitable ring and a good warpaint. If anyone has a suggestion please post it here
Sursed Posted March 11, 2018 Author Posted March 11, 2018 This is how they lokk in game in different light
Harvald Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Perhaps you can ask Tetrodoxin to allo you to use his greatest work http://tetrodoxin.tumblr.com/tagged/mods. The "Waldgeist" body texture (lower on this site) is outstanding.

That is what I have done fist. Tetrodoxin does not want to share his wonderful warpaints and does not want to let me use them in this mod I do like his new green warpaint and some others. But "Waldgeist" is not to my taste
