Did it ever bother you that all the metal bits of orcish gear seem to be made of different materials? Some were obvious mistakes by the devs, such as in the case of the orcish shield, but others were just sloppy hue/saturation passes or brightness/contrast problems. This was just an immersion-breaking eyesore for me, and although the Amidianborn orcish retextures are very well done, I didn't like all the fine engravings and other adornment they add to the orcish gear. It broke the vanilla feel (at least for me) because the rough and crude look of orcish armor and weapons really clashed with the fine decorative additions. That retex also looked a bit too dark for my tastes.

So, I took matters into my own hands...er...my textures into Gimp. Yeah. That's it. Anyway, I have painstakingly tweaked the orcish armor and weapons so that they all look like part of a single set, made from the same materials. I'm quite happy with the results, so I decided to package my texture tweaks up and share them as a mod!

Hope you enjoy it!

UPDATE: (Cha-cha-changes!) There is now an optional second file containing a new texture for the dragon priest mask Rahgot! It's supposed to be made of orichalcum, and can be upgraded with orichalcum ingots, but it looks like badly refined malachite ore. I much prefer it look like what it's actually made of:
