Coming Soon For DA:Origins
About this image
I've never really cared much for the boots and gloves slots. Swapping gloves and boots made little comestic difference to the character and most of the time you never see the boots anyway. So as an experiment, I decided to turn the Glove slot into Upper Body Armor slot, the Boot Slot into a Lower Body Armor slot, and the Torso Armor slot into a Body Model/Tattoo slot. In essence, I tried to make it more Oblivion-like. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives:
Pros:
*I can create shop items to allow you to change tattoos, body texture, add piercings, undershirts, etc, on a per character basis.
*You can mix match Upper Body armor, pants, and bodies for a greater degree of variation.
*I no longer have to worry about seams between my armors and stock body models.
*You can still use vanilla gloves and boots (or those added by other mods). However, your character will be shirtless or pantless, but people have been asking me for that anyway
Cons:
*Harder to completely eliminate clipping.
*You can't use other torso armors and Upper/Lower Body armors together. Well, you can... and in some cases it actually still looks pretty decent, but its not advised.
I'm not sure how people will like it. Once I reduce the clipping to a reasonable level, add a few more armor parts, finish up some more tattoo/body texture variations, figure out what I'm going to do to balance the stats and create a shop I'll release a beta version. It could be interesting for those of you who've already played through multiple times.
*Edit: Forgot to mention it's tintable with the Universal Dye kit or Winter's Forge.
(P.S. I haven't made any female body models yet so for now it'll male characters only. Sorry.)

Sorry for the delay in response. This mod is in its early stages so I wouldn't wait for it.
Can you tell that you'll have release candidate in one month, or it will be DNFish answer "will be done when it's done"?
Doesn't really want to start playing DAO again if in next week I'd have to start again because you'd finish this mod.
Thank you ^_^
Thank you very much :)
Can't wait to use this on my game! It looks so good. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful Work!!!

Thanks! :D
Beautiful work!
The ONE thing I wanted changed about the MMap Armor was that the tattoos from your body mod wouldn't show. Now, you've solved that.
Much anticipated.
