From "The Ruins of Kemel-Ze" - "I laughed to myself, thinking of the many warriors unwittingly walking around Tamriel with pieces of Dwarven mechanisms on their backs. For that, of course, is what most "Dwarven armor" really is - just the armored shells of ancient mechanical men." But to be clear, I never thought of this book as historical, just a kind of action/thriller story.

@KariganYork 2 жыл бұрын

One thing to keep in mind is that the drastic styles in each game are based off of the realm of your primary enemy. Eso is supposed to be cold harbor and it fit, oblivion is merunez daegon which is more red and fiery, and Skyrim is more dragonic since there isn’t a primary daedra enemy.

@jeremymullens7167 2 жыл бұрын

I think oblivion was trying to update the daggerfall deadric armor. Daggerfall fall seemed to have two armor types with different colors and trim. Daedric was plate armor in red. I feel like oblivion was trying to recreate that. You can really see it with the dwarven armor. In daggerfall it uses the vertical layers design in gold. Oblivion uses the same. Elven armor in daggerfall is plate armor in bright green. Oblivion tries to recreate it. I think I can appreciate what oblivion did. Trying to get back to ‘normal’ from morrowind while also being a call back.

I always mix and match. I go aesthetics over stats and I usually don't even stick with only light or only heavy, typically light cuirass/grieves and heavy helm/gauntlets/boots

When I played Oblivion, I used to call the Elven Armor the "Grasshopper Armor", because it to me a character in it just looks like a gilded cricket

That Sky-Wind Orcish Armor image looks like it should be a Qunari from Dragon Age.

Imagine each race having their take on each armor material like Nibanese Iron Armor sets and Colovian armor sets vs High Rock Iron Armor sets. This creates a great deal of roleplaying potential for the forthcoming Elder Scrolls.

In terms of appearance without mods, Ebony Armor from Skyrim is probably the best looking Armor in all of TES

Why do I feel like Scott looks like a khajiit drew a nord and michael a dunmer 😂

Scott: Skyrim's Daedric Armor reminds me of Ecliptor. Thanks; now I need to have a witch character that looks like Astronema.

Best armor? Banded Iron armor. Love the rugged yet practical yet realistic simplistic armor.

You guys should just look at the dragon scale armor on an argonian, that's the best combo ever.

If I had to guess: I'd being willing 2 bet the whole of my withered, left epididymus, that ALL 3 of these gentlemen have a(n) extensive collection of polyester 👕s; featuring arbitrary (and in some cases moderately pretentious) Kanji. Saved and ironed, of course, for dates, rendezvous, and special occasions of the like.

I know this is 8 months ago but now that there is sky rim equivalent to some of those armors I think there is more reason to revisit this

Oblivion steel armor looks really good and it's realistic, it looks a lot like the Italian style of armor from around 1500, including the asymmetrical pauldrons and the barbute style helmet.

I will rank of my favorite armor with only full sets, so single pieces of armor won't count. This will take two games into account Oblivion, and Skyrim. My top 5 Light Armor sets: 1. Amber Armor(Oblivion), 2. Mithril Armor (Oblivion), 3. Dragonscale Armor (Skyrim), 4. Glass Armor (Oblivion), 5. Shrouded Armor female version (Skyrim), My top 5 Heavy Armor sets: 1. Deadric Armor (Skyrim), 2. Ancient Nord Armor female version (Skyrim), 3. Blackwood Armor (Oblivion), 4. Imperial Dragon Armor (Oblivion) 5. Stalhrim Armor (Skyrim), Bonus for Creation Club armors my favorites are Leather Armor as a light set, and Iron Armor for Heavy set.
