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.

Here's an idea what it might look like. This was just done crudely in NifSkope, duplicating the piece and re-positioning it. If doing it for real, it would need re-weighting as well. I could also chop up the armors into multiple body slots, so you could mix and match with the Black Silverlight. I'm thinking that the top half of the Witch Elf would go well with just the bottom half of the Silverlight body (with no leg parts).

The cross in the witch elf one could become a T at the front, while I'm at it.

Oh, that looks nice indeed! I see what you mean about the boots & greaves. I actually think the little greaves look okay without the boots - and the boots certainly are a bit clunky for the overall fairly delicate look.

You didn't lose her wings, did you?

Whoa, what happened to them? I did not even notice. I wonder if the Silverlight cuirass is using the same body slot as the wings? I just tried it again, and her wings are there with the armor. I don't know what happened there.

Wow, that looks fantastic just like that! But the crotch area might indeed look better as a T shape than a cross. It is definitely better than the Silverlight. If you would make just a single .nif file of that, I'd be very grateful.
