Dovahkiin's outfit copied?

Post » Wed Jun 15, 2011 2:11 pm

So I was really excited for skyrim and i decided to download a mod that has nordic barbarian clothing so i downloaded Holgars Barbarian and Buccaneer Outfitter mod
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7106

and i found the clothing really cool but one thing that caught my eye is that one of the outfits looks EXACTLY like the outfit dovahkiin is wearing in the background of this forum..

and this mod was made in 2008 so did bethesda copy the outfit? :o

pictures : .

...no they definitely didnt
this and skyrims armor (what weve seen the main character in) are based off of nordic and viking styles
of course theyre gonna look similar
that doesnt mean they copied this specific mod :/

There must be some ancient nords who are severely ticked that they didn't patent their idea's...

Firstly, they already said something about borrowing the odd idea from modders, IIRC archery for one, and secondly, what are they supposed to do? We want a vaguely Norse/barbarian feel for the armour, oh no, someone modded our game with a vaguely Norse/barbarian armour, ah well, back to the drawing board.

Played Dragon Age through once. It was alright, but could have been better.

But what does Dragon Age have to do with Conan the Barbarian?

You know it looks an awful lot like http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj125/Gizmojunk/rune_boxcover_wallpaper_800.jpg as well. :shrug:

There is only so much you can do without inevitably copying somebody somewhere; and there is also "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptomnesia" to think about.

Well, that's kinda hard to do with out a solid point to start. And it's also off topic and will probably end up getting closed by them there dastardly mods.

Not quite.

The Norse were vikings. Norse Mythology was the viking religion.

Just beautiful. Athletics sorted, Dovahkiin moves slower, but makes a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a sound.

OT modders are using Beth's cs, they know the score.

It doesn't look exactly the same to me, certainly, it's similar, but I'd say that's because it's based on a similar concept, Bethesda was going for a sort of Nordic Conan the Barbarian feel here, and I'd guess the modder was too.

And this isn't exactly the first time I've seen barbarians in a fantasy game wearing revealing armor and a horned helmet either, Bethesda didn't create the concept, and neither did the creator of the mod in question.
