I felt like vanilla was lacking in terms of good looking paladin-esque armors and styles, especially in the heavy armor category. So I spent 3 days gathering some mods and putting them together with some DLC and vanilla items and making sure everything was relatively lore-friendly and functional. This is the result (with mods used listed besides each pieces):

Helmet: Wandering knight hood (Warmonger Armory)

Chest: Paladin Of Stendarr Armor (Stendarr Paladin Armor Set)

Hands: Dawnguard Heavy Gauntlets (Dawnguard DLC)

Feet: Dawnguard Heavy Boots (Dawnguard DLC)

Right Hand: Dawnbreaker (Vanilla Skyrim)

Left Hand: Auriel's Shield (Dawnguard DLC)

*Miscellaneous items include:*

Dark Leather Backpack (AE/SE CC)

Various pouches, satchels and book holders (Bandolier - Bags And Pouches)

Paladin-esque summonable steed like Arvark from Dawnguard (Ethereon)

Various spells from vanilla and the DLCs, plus some from the (Ordinator) mod

Had to basically complete the game 100% twice because my first playthrough got bugged at 98% completion with 1 costume and 2 cars missing. Encountered a bug on that playthrough that just removed my already earned collectibles, cars and costumes. Everything got reset but the cars and costume didn't unlock at the end, so thank god for the skip event accessibility feature!

Great game nonetheless and I'm glad to have the plat for it!
