I mean in my opinion most of Ithilion's textures look better than the mod's(no offence to the texture), particularly the Gondorian one. It's dull and boring. And currently, I'm making a texture pack (No I'm not making sure every pixel of the chain is demolished) that is somewhat a bit more Movie like rather than more lore-friendly. So I guess we have different opinions for armor and weapons. I'd like to know how you think something that is, indeed, textured, rather than simply shiny is "dull and boring". I get you may love the films, but seriously, read the darn books, take a moment on the descriptions, and imagine them. We don't need, as Ithilion has already said, plate armour, for the armour to look interesting, or generally pleasing. Its like a year ago when I read LotR and there weren't that much descriptions of armour...

And when you first watched the films and then read the books, you will imagine everything like you know it from the movies (characters, settlements, landscapes, etc.).
