Artifacts - the Hircine ring/shield

Post by King of Worms »

I decided to finish up the upscaling of the weapon/shield artifacts and this reminded me of this discrepancy which should be corrected.

The Hircine artifact
- when you hover your cursor above it it says its a Hircine RING
- when you equip it it gets equipped in a RING slot
- but it looks like a SHIELD
- when you click info - its described as a SHIELD

Im not 100% certain if it should be considered a shield or a ring?
1st I was sure it should be a shield. Because it looks like it :lol:
But when you look up the TES lore, its actually a ring with a werewolf head on it. And Id consider it the canon?

So if we decide its a ring, the description should be changed. And I will create a proper ring model for it so it gets corrected in a DREAM mod.

When corrected it might look something like this, instead of shield .)

Changing this text is now possible that RSC text data is part of localization. I've updated text record so that info describes item as a ring.

The old shield graphic will remain in core as that's read from classic data. But it will look awesome once you mod it into a ring icon. :)

Thanks for a reply and correction of the text 😊 I understand the base DFU will be using the shield icon. For Dream I created this new one, tested it and it looks proper ingame 👍
