Ok, I'm in the first phase of this project: Planning.
The first thing I'm doing is find some nice fabric, a good choice for the robe and cloak would be canvas or linen (but I like canvas the better), since them was used a lot in the middle age and looks like the texture used in the game (to me).
Natural Canvas Color
Then we should look for the other parts of his clothes, he has a light grey shirt and grey/tan pants...
The shirt could be linen, while the pants could be denim, cotton, or a lighter kind of canvas (still, in my humble opinion
).
Shirt:
Pants:
Then we need the fabric for the belt/sash. I think this could be every kind of fabric, using a color like this one:
(this fabric is 55% Rayon 45% Linen)
Then we should choose if we want to make the leather parts out of real leather or pleather (I would love real leather, but it could be quite pricey...)
And some kind of pleather could have a nice look and texture, like this one:
And for the details of his robes we could use a ribbon like this one:
This will be used for the "sleeves" of the , well, sleeveless robe...
Then we should work on the patterns, the robes, shirt, pants and hood looks fairly simple to achieve... We should create custom patterns for the large "belt", harnesses and for the boots (we could just cover a pair of cheap boots)...
Finally the accessories, the knives and sword, shouldn't be a problem, but we have to make the retractable blade from scratch (more or less, I've found this video-tutorial to make your own "gravity-extendable" blade

But I'm working on a spring loaded version (still in planning stage...:rolleyes)
Then we should do the "armor" on his left arm, this could be done in many ways... Sculpting the piece and making a fiberglass or resin copy, out of cract foam, etc...
And the final stage (for me) will be some distressing/weathering to make it a little more "hollywood-real" LOL
Ok, this is my plan, when (if) I will start this costume I will post here my updates... I hope this could help
