Since the previous thread is already over the 200 post limit I thought I'd make a new thread before it's locked.

http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1421187-dragonborn-dlc-armour-and-weapons/

So let's continue the discussion/speculation of the new DLC's armour and weapons here!

Apparently, there will be Chitin, Bonemold, Nordic and Stalhrim armour in the DLC, perhaps even more, though it's not really confirmed yet. The trailer showed Bonemold, Nordic (possibly) and Stalhrim. The trailer also showed some kind of more magey armour, perhaps used by the first Dragonborn's minions.

It is also alleged that the Chitin, Bonemold, Nordic and Stalhrim armour have both Heavy and Light codes for them, so perhaps they will have two different variants. The bonemold armour shown is very similar to the Gah-Julan Bonemold armour worn by House Redoran in Morrowind.

In terms of weapons, a Stalhrim sword was seen in the trailer, as well as various other weapons of unknown make. Spears are also confirmed, but what has not been confirmed are that spears can be used by the player, although it is unlikely that Bethesda would show us spears (which they know we really want) and not let us use them.

Here's to hoping the spectral dragon armor is some kind of transformation that augments shouts. Complete with a perk system.

I'm hoping The First One's robes give a kickass shout cool down.

That'd be cool, but I don't wear robes. I hope it's a ring or something instead.

There needs to be specific "Dovahkiin/Dragonborn" armor. Like the Dark Brotherhood sort of: How they have several different types of "Dark Brotherhood" armor, our character should have Dragonborn armor- Dovahkiin mage robes, Dovahkiin warrior armor, Dovahkiin Thief/Assassin gear

Armor that sets us apart from everyone else.

Agreed

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/NichtGanz/armor3.png http://i.imgur.com/F4c11.jpg armors are the same. I think they have more to do with HM then Miraak, even considering the mask.

Agreed. Like the CoC armor.

A bit late to the party here, but I'll throw out some speculations. Sorry if this stuff was already posted in the last thread.



Maybe Netch leather?



I think that's just the new design for Stalhrim armor. Perhaps they merged the visual theme of Bonemold and Stalhrim together to be conservative. That way both armor's are technically represented, but they wouldn't have to two extra smithing perks for them. Also, Bonemold was medium armor, so it's probably going to be catagorized as heavy armor in this game. Instead of having two different end game heavy armors, they might have decided to combine them. The idea that the nords and dunmer came together to make these designs is pretty awesome too.



I think the "robed" look might just be the female variation.


These look a lot like Sixth House weapons. I'd say the ash zombies reinforce this.


Maybe Scourge?

I don't think any of those are actually sets of robes... unfortunately.. looks just like a new type of leather type armor. This game severely needs robes that have armor, it's too ridiculous how pathetic robes are.. I am a master Mage in every class of magic and I'm still pathetic unless I wear armor... And I'm not even spec'd for armor - but Mages Armor does virtually nothing and it's only 300 seconds where as it should have a way to lengthen that too 600 seconds so you don't have to constantly worry about your armor dropping to 0 in the middle of a battle. 300 seconds is still not enough because after every battle or in the middle of every other battle you have to pause to re-equip you armor spell to reactivate it during combat right before it drops.

Yep, you're right. Looking at the video again, that blue stuff emanating from the armor is just a magical armor spell being broken.

Oh, and if I'm not mistaken...



It actually looks more like a Dai-Katana in the video. It has a that circular ring above the handle that Katana's are known to have. The blade looks a little thin to be a claymore, too.

Hope we have more clothes like Ulfrics ones. Even though Ulfric is dead. Stormcloaks are racist, and they get that from ulfric. Ulfric deserved to die, he should not have the right to fight against the empire. The Empire were trying to keep the Thalmor out of Skyrim. Ulfric is selfish in my opinion. BUT, their are some points in the rebellion that i do like. The worship of Talos should be allowed. I think that Ulfric did win the fight with the heir to the throne fairly. Other then that, the Imperials are mature and sane, and the amount of complaints i hear of the stormcloaks only make me dislike them more.

If they were to get along together then yes it would be good, but Ulfric had to challenge high king toragg to prove a point. And where did that lead him? The death of the nord dragonborns imperial sword.

Hope they have more options for clothing.

Look at the sleeves. That's Dragon Priest scaleplate - it looks exactly the same as the Dragon Priest robes.

It's not a Dai-Katana. That screenshot shows a classic foregrip area common on Zweihanders. This area is used to change the greatswords balance in close-quarters combat. The Steel Greatsword also has this feature.

You again!
Well, it's good to see that you can acknowledege a FEW good points.

I hope you don't have any problem with people disagreeing with you... 'cause its gonna happen.

Fetchin' Grindstones, Bethesda! How do they work? Axes may be thicker than swords, but nearly 90 degree wedges do not cut. Stop with the LARP weapons!

I think Stahlrim might actually be light armor, something akin to Elven or Glass in that respect. the bear plate thing, I am not so sure. looks can be deceiving, but damn it looks great.

I think you're reading too much into it. Putting too keen an edge can make aliasing a lot more apparent.

Apparently there are codes for both Heavy and Light variants, though if there isn't, I would expect Stahlrim to be light armour.

I would like an exact replica of the armor we see in the art work dovahkiin. I know it's just studded armor plus iron helm, boots and gloves and a banded iron shield, but if you look how nice it looks in the concept art released and how it looks in game it's like night and day!

Besides I thought the "dovahkiin" armor that sets us apart from every one else is Dragonbone/dragon scale cause no one else can wear it (unless we give it to followers) and now with DB DLC we'll get the original dragon borns armor to set us apart.

In Morrowind it was a light armor but perhaps we will get variants of it. It does look more awesome than Morrowinds in this screenshot http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/NichtGanz/armor3.png .

I wonder if there would be any visual difference between heavy and light.

1: Anti-aliasing.

2: The thickness of those edges is far in excess of what's needed to avoid that.

Very very far.

Not confirmed yet, but I'm pretty sure that there will be, like the Dawnguard armours. Wouldn't make sense for them to look the same unless they are artifacts which are given to you based on your skill level like the Imperial Dragon Armour in Oblivion.

EDIT: One of the armours I would be really happy to see would be the Royal Guard Armour from Tribunal. Chances for it to appear are extremely low, but I love the way it looks. Indoril Armour would do too.
