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.

Do you mean make it her outfit? If you do that, she'll revert to that when she resets for any reason.

If you put something in her inventory, it's available to be selected when she needs it. e.g. she'll put on armour next time she goes through a load door, or starts combat. If the player gives her an item, she'll re-evaluate each slot, too.

Still the main thing is that it's valid for her, and she can wear it.

And now Imgur works again, so I can show you how Kireteki looks. At least so far. That is just the first mod I saw that I thought might work. I'll probably want to look at others before I make a final choice.

I think for some reason her skin was defaulting as her 'outfit', and that is why she was not equipping the armor in her inventory. So I think by setting the armor as her outfit, it is overriding that. The rest does not matter, since I won't be giving her any other items like a companion. She's a summoning, so she'll only be around for a minute or so at a time anyway.

Oh, that looks great on her! I'm really glad you left a good amount of her skin still exposed, it suits her well!
