What Should Saya Wear? Options

[SubRosa]

I have been thinking about playing Saya in Skyrim ever since I saw the Winged Twilights mod, which would allow her to summon Kireteki. I have been fiddling around with Saya today, and think I have her face right. Now I am looking at outfits.

ESO Altmer Armor

SPOA Silver Knight Armor

Ordinator Armor

Eisen Platte Black

The ESO Altmer is my least favorite. It is just too skimpy and thin. Saya is a battlemage. She likes to get up close and crush skulls with her mace. So she like her armor to be armor.

Screen captures do not do the SPOA armor justice. You have to actually see it in the game to appreciate how it shines and reflects your surroundings. This is my second favorite so far.

The Ordinator is my favorite. It is Morrowind-specific, and really works for a Dark Elf. Plus I have never had a character who has used it yet.

The Eisen Platte in black is perfect for her. But I have had so many other characters wear it that I'd rather not go there again.

I have not played Skyrim or looked at the mods for it lately. Are there any interesting new armor mods? Something Dunmer/Morrowind themed would be ideal.

As soon as that Winged Twilight mod came out, I thought of Saya and am so pleased you are thinking of bringing Saya and Kireteki to Skyrim!

I have tried the same modder's summonabe Golden Saints mod and it works well.

Of the four armors you are considering, I think the black plate looks best but, as you say, it is reminiscent of some of your other characters and says Chevalier d'Éon to me. Therefore I find the silver plate to be most compelling of the four. The ordinator armor is very cool as well but I can't get my head around the wider-than-a-door pauldron wings.

That said, I'm afraid I struggle just a bit, as does mALX, thinking of Saya in heavy plate. I know she likes to mace bash up close but perhaps more a combo of steel and magic for defense? What comes to mind is Ves armor. I imagine the quilted jacket to be internally reinforced with enchanted silk fibers - somewhat similar to modern ballistic soft armor. It is a mod that I use and works well. We don't see Buffy in it often because it does have a bit much steel on it for our tastes. As I said though, it might be perfect for Saya?
