God-King of Athel Loren – Armored Orion Reskin
Whenever I’m starting out in Athel Loren, I pick Durthu. Why? Because he’s a giant, angry treeman who hates everyone and everything and I relate to that on a spiritual level. But also because Orion has looked completely ridiculous to me since game 1. And only like 2 mods have ever changed his appearance in the slightest over the course of the entire trilogy.
So I present to you, THIS MOD: which gives our angry satyr-man some armor, finally. He’s kitted out with a glade lord chest piece, bracers, and thigh armor (didn’t think I could get the boots to fit over his hooves, so I didn’t try), and a trimmed-down (to accommodate the antlers) version of the wild rider mask. The result is a character that actually looks like he could be leading those reskinned, armored wood elf armies you probably already have, if you’re a WE main.
Shouldn’t conflict with anything, since this doesn’t change any animations, weapons, stats, etc. Just a simple reskin.
KNOWN ISSUES:
-There’s clipping, mostly around the thighs and the bracers. Sorry about that. Might fix at some point.
-No portrait changes, because I’m still an idiot and haven’t looked up how to make my own.
Let me know if there are any issues or conflicts beyond these, and I’ll do my best to address them!
21 FEB 23: Minor update to fix some clipping around the left bracer. Can’t delete the original leather armor piece because it’ll take the arm with it, but I did get rid of some of the bones and clutter that were attached. Also the LOD was acting funky, so I just copied LOD 0 to all slots. Meaning he’ll look the same no matter how far you zoom out. Shouldn’t impact performance, since he’s a single entity, but let me know if it does.
Also uploaded a no-helmet version for those interested:
