My Rants: Skyrim: Armor Mods

Armor mods, what can I cay about them? Some of them are great, some of them are not. In this I will be explaining them both from the best to the worst of the mods. Hopefully for all you PC Skyrim players I will show you all the best of the mods you must download and the worse mods you need to avoid. So lets get started shall we?

-Immersive Armors-

This mod is freaking awesome! The armors, the detail, it's amazing! What this mod does is add sets of armors into the game and add them on certain NCP's like Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak, Bandits, and so on and make sure that's immersive as well. You wont be seeing common bandits wearing Daedric Lord Armor and all that. What's better is that this mod adds armor from other mods like the Tribunal Robes and so forth. I give this mod a 10/10 since it's not only a great mod for people who wants more armor in their game, but it's one of the BEST mods in the Skyrim Mod Community.

-The TERA Armor Collection-

Now this mod is rather strange to me, it's not lore friendly at all and some of the armors really pisses me off because they're skimpy as hell especially for the women. I don't know what this TERA is but from some of the armors, they're not that bad. Like the Ebon Shroud, the Necrosin, the Chaos Bloodplate, and so on. However the armor like the Ulciscorn are really skimpy and non lore friendly which nocks out several points on them. I would rather keep this if you're a male character and uses the armor that covers you fully instead of showing your bear skin and all that. Because seriously, why in the hell would you have armor that shows your bear skin especially when it comes to you fighting dragons with sharp teeth, automations and bandits with sharp weapons and blunt weapons and so on. SO WHY HAVE IT!? I give this mod the rating of 6.5/10. It's kind of good, but's kind of bad.

-ZeroFrost Armors-

This guy can make a crap ton of cool looking armor, all based on the silver/shining steel color mostly? But still this guys knows his armor. From the Contractor Armor to the Silver Dragon Armor, his armor are pretty good. However there are something's that are rather bit wrong with his mods. One of them called the Blood Witch Armor and the Raven Armor are female only while the Dracula Armor is male only. That is rather sad, I know it's difficult to make not two but four models to fit all races and sexes, I can understand that. But it's a rather shame that there are armors out there that are race or sex exclusive. So I give these armors a rating of a 9/10.

-Armor Of Intrigue-

So what's a good armor mod than a Light armor mod. This armor is slick, simple, easy to look at and comes in various parts to make a unique set of armor. This armor is great for thieves and assassins if you want as well as your typical adventurer as well. It also seems lore friendly so there's no problem about it other than a few certain problems. By certain problems I mean the enchantments on the items. To me I see them as an easy way to get some enchantments on your enchantment table and increase your enchanting level, I also see it as a good way to cheat the fucking game which I don't wanna do unless playing with my Actor Black-Scales. I just wish that the mod had a non-enchanted version of it all so I can enjoy it and the game itself. I give this mod a 9.5/10

-Aetherium Armor and Weapons Compilation-

Ever thought that the quest for Aetherium items were lacking? Ever wanted to be a true Dwemer warrior? Well now you can with this mod, this mod adds a kick ass set of Dwemer armor fixed with various parts and Aetherium ore. The enchantments are wicked powerful and a well deserve reward for beating the quest. And don't worry, there's more Aetherium ore scattered all across the Dwemer ruins which technically knocks it down a few pegs since it's not lore friendly but hey, what's more better? A simple crown, a staff and a shield or a full set of armor and a sword? You descide as I give this armor the rating of an 8.5/10

-Every Recolor and Every Skimpy Armor-

Okay I'm just going to point this out right now since I've done this before, but recolors are not mods! They're terrible excuses for mods and those who created them should be burned at the pike! Sure there are some recolors that are good because they are either good excuses for legendary items and so on or have good enchantments. One good example is the Armor of Yngol, it's a recolor to the Ancient Nord Armor but its good because it's lore friendly and it fits and it has good balanced enchantments. These, are damned terrible and deserve to die. Same goes to the skimpy mods, these mods are for those who pervert everything sacred and think playing as a sexy warrior is great. What the fuck people, what the flying fuck. I give these mods a 2/10.
