[Req] Boethiah Statue

Post » Tue May 08, 2012 12:22 am

I'm not sure [Req] is the appropriate tag for this post, but there's nothing specific for inquiries.

I was poking around and saw a Morrowind statue of Azura that looked a lot like the Skyrim version and I was wondering if anyone had put together a newer Boethiah statue? I've seen some different textures but not a new model. Compared with the Oblivion and especially the Skyrim interpretations, the Morrowind version just seems particularly ugly.

I realized I can't post any links, but basically the Morrowind statue of Boethiah looks like Mehrunes Dagon with a veterinary cone around its neck. The Oblivion statue recalls the Daggerfall image of Boethiah really well; a sort of respectable looking warrior in armor. The Skyrim interpretation is a radical departure, but really captures the gender ambiguity of the Daedra and seems incredibly appropriate for the Prince of Plots.

I know it's not something that one looks at with much frequency, but I thought it was interesting.


On a second and totally unrelated point:

Autofilling Bookshelves? I'm assuming that its impossible even with MWSE because I've never seen anything similar. With Book Rotate it's not really necessary, but that was probably the thing that impressed me most about Skyrim.

Long time lurker, first post.

This is the only one that I'm aware of. It's quite an improvement over the original although sadly there don't seem to be any that dramatically alter the statue models :read:

As far as the Azura statue you're most likely referring to that screenshot that Vality posted recently which appeared to be a personal conversion of the model from Skyrim. Those kind of things are fine for personal use but can't be released publically.

The Boethiah Kalian pointed is the statue I was thinking of. Is that the same type as Vality's (a personal conversion)?

The http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=39125 by Bloodinfested includes a retexture of Boethiah's statue, as well as including retextures for all of the other daedric lord statues.

And yea, that Boethiah statue appears to be a personal conversion as well. I could be wrong, but it appears that way.

I never saw the Vality's screen, but on my screen is Boethiah from Skyrim converted to Morrowind.
