I don't know of any way to edit the mesh right now. Instead I editted the UV map so that the shoulderpads had a transparent part of the texture - the shoulderpads are there still, they're just transparent

I've been mucking about further and achieved a new degree of funky awesome. I've got a side-slung arrow quiver, plus my staves slung on my back now visibly (The staves cover the arrow that has to stay vertical, which is how I was able to swing a side-slung quiver ;p). I also created a new "shield" that looks like my bow, and a new "dagger" that looks like an arrow. So when i switch between ranged/melee i appear to un-nock my arrow and stab people with it, and swipe people with my bow to stagger them

I can't wait for the real mod tools...

current crap: (I think it's 44% it might be 48% not gonna check right now)

conjuration illusion ring: reduce magic cost of illusion and conjuration by 29%

conjuration illusion necklace: reduce magic cost of illusion and conjuration by 29%

legendary daedric helmet: increase bow damage by 44%, reduce illusion spell cost 29%

legendary daedric armor: reduce magic cost of illusion and conjuration by 29%

legendary daedric gauntlets: fortify one handed damage 44%, fortify bow damage 44%

legendary daedric boots: fortify one handed damage 44%, fortify stamina regeneration 37%

spellbreaker shield


I may be able to ditch one of the illusion reductions and replace it with more sword damage... 87% reduction is probably enough as I thought I would be using the master level spells, but they are mostly useless. Spellbreaker does such a good job on magic, no additional magic resistance is needed beyond the 40% I already have from being a breton and the mara quest.

need to make a ring / necklaces

took the custom fit perk for light armor

it's not bad for wandering around where i am now. i'm hoarding dragonscales.

is there really an impact for wearing armor vs a robe? I haven't noticed one yet

1. Male Nord Tracker/Cartographer (Light Armour, 1H Axe and Bow)
2. Male Bosmer Fisherman/Rogue (Clothing, Dagger) *recently deceased - drowned under the ice*
3. Female Redguard Vindictor (Heavy Armour, 2H Sword)
4. Female Breton Seeker (Enchanted Robes/Clothing, Healing and Defensive spells)

I try and play each in their specific roles. Even when better gear is available, they may not upgrade.
At most, the Nord Cartographer may wear Savior's Hide w/Scaled extremities and the female Redguard may get Steel Plate.
That's about it. Clean and simple.

Nightingale armor full set smithed to over a 900 armor rating (with perks of course)

Blade of woe 115 dam (cant wait for them to link it back to 1 Handed so it gets perks)

Daedric Dagger 109 dam (cant wait for them to link it back to 1 Handed so it gets perks)
