As with every other game I've ever played, I just don't care what a toon "looks like" - I never really see them except in the inventory screen, and other than MMORPGs where other "real people" can see your toon it's really of no importance. And even in WoW (the only MMORPG I play) I don't give a rat's patoot what other people think about what my toons wear.

*shrug* Stupid.

This is my favorite outfit...

Head: Silver and Sapphire Circlet

Body: Ebony Mail

Hands: Ebony Guantlets

Feet: Ebony Boots

Neck: Silver and Sapphire Necklace

Ring: Silver Ring

Weapon: Bound Sword, Bound Bow, Storm Atronach, Lightning Magic

Shield: (None)

Rolling with legendary nightingale armor right now. Ring/Necklace that does plus one handed damage(10 points away from 100 enchanting so I can add fire/shock resist, as i'm a nord) and Deadric Sword and Bow. I'm Batman!

A leather cowl/scarf, dragonplate armour, trimmed down to just the briastplate/greaves/straps, leather fingerless gloves, a pair of dragonbone daggers, and a dragonbone bow/arrows :3

My female Nord wears Ancient Nord Armor/Boots/Gauntlets enchanted to my liking and a circlet. It's prolly the best looking heavy armor for female IMO

Khajiit female, wearing improved Forsworn armor enchanted for fortify sneaking/Archery. Daedric bow, improved, no enchantments. Various daggers and poisons, not much else. Simple and travel light.

Head- Shrouded hood
Body- Nightingale armor
Feet- Nightingale boots
Hands- ancient shrouded gauntles
Sword- Blade of woe, Daedric dagger
Bow- Nightingale bow

I'm wearing the Ebony armor that I received from Boethiah's quest. I love how the armor is covered in black smoke when you sneak Plus I use the nightingale hood.

As for weapons, I use the Blade of Woe for sneak attacks, and the Daedric Sword for non assassination attacks

where'd you get Leather hood with scarf.I hope it isn't just for female characters

Fur. All fur. (Flawless) Fur.

Level 49 mage.

I roll with full forsworn (female character) or any armor set combined with the forsworn headdress. It has sort of become my characters "hairstyle" at this point, just doesn't look right without it.


looks really good

how did you "trim" it down? model edit?

I wear all Dark Brotherhood armour. My weapons are a Nightingale Bow, Mehrunes Razor and a Nordic Hero sword I custom enchanted (for some reason, its the most powerful sword I can forge myself, plus I like the way it looks).

A thread discussing armor aesthetics might be interesting; probably not very helpful, but still interesting.

A separate thread regarding the best unique armor pieces and weapons for certain non-crafting class types would be both interesting and useful!

This thread about "WUT YO FAVERIT GEER LOL"? Not helpful nor interesting.

Retextured Ebonymail + Ebonyblade(http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2544) looks so badadds. With a Texture Replacer you can have a Orcish greatsword look like the Ebonyblade, with more craftables mod you can craft the Ebonymail.

My first and most heavily used character ran with the following gear (self enchanted what could be:)

Head - Krosis
Body - Dragonscale Cuirass (Fortify Light Armor)
Hands - Dragonscale Gloves (Fortify Archery)
Feed - Dragonscale Booths (Muffle)
Necklace - Amulet of Talos
Ring - Self Enchanted Fortify One-Handed Ring

I felt really balanced. Spent a lot of time forging iron daggers and enchanting them with petty soul gems to get all the necessary perks. I hate that Dragon requires 100 smithing...

My Nord character ran around in full wolf armor with a Skyforge Steel Greatsword. Not much stood in his way, but I didn't play him very far into the game.

Custom Enchanted Thieves Armor-
Armor: Health & Stamina Regen
Gloves: Bow and 1H Damage
Boots: Muffle and Waterbreathing

Krosis

Ring: Resist Magic and Magicka Regen
Necklace: Resist Poison and Disease

Yay for crafting mods and no enchantment restriction mod!

Magic: dual casting fireball and dual casting healing
Glass Gauntlets with extra magicka
dwemer boots for extra hauling
Morokei
Expert robes of destruction
Galdr Necklace
Ring of extreme destruction.

Ta daaaaaaaaaaa ~

If you don't mind me asking where you found the daedric bow? As an archer enthusiest i would be very thankful to get ahold of that piece.

Ancient Nord armor, gloves, boots, and the helm of Yngol.

I never wear Deadric , Dragon or Glass , to me they look bad and/or over the top , and don't like Ebony helmet


With my warrior , i wear Steel plate armour , Wolf armour , Imperial armour , Ancient Nord armour (you have to craft at skyforge ) , sometimes Dwemer armour , at the beggining of the game i wear Iron and Steel armours . Sometimes i equip my companions with full Orcish improved gear or the Blades' armour

With my thief , i wore mainly leather , thief guild armour , DB armour , and Scaled armour sometimes Nightingales although looking like Batman bore me quick . With the mods , the Elven armour in steel/gray colour looks awesome , so i'll wear it now . I also wore the Stormcloack officer's armour for a while


What's cool in the game is that you can upgrade any armour near the armour cap with smithing/alchemy/enchant , so you are not forced to wear higher tier stuffs

Sounds like Fiery Soul trap. You can get this enchantment pretty earlier on and make one at low levels and because the soul trap is the first effect in this enchantment you can set it to 1 second and still get the stock 10 fire damage which is very powerful early on.

Back on topic. I use the modded DB armor that is all black with the mask fix. Mehrunes Razor and an Ebony Dagger of Stunning, with an Ebony Bow of Stunning.

Mainly wear

Ancient Shrouded DB full suit Smithed to Legendary
Blade of Woe (legendary)
Mehrunes Razor (Legendary)
Daedric Bow with Soul Trap (Legendary)
Ring/Neck Peerless Archery (40%)


When I am casting

Master Robe of Destruction
Gloves Forify Magika(46)
Circlet Destrution Reducetion 25%
Ring/Neck Destruction Reduction 25%

When im going heavy

Ebony shield of Eminent Blocking 30%
Ring of Eminent Blocking 30%
Ebony Mail (Daedric)
Ebony Boots (Fortify One Handed)
Ebony Gaunts (Fortify Block)
Ebony Helm (Nothing on it)
Ring/Neck (Fortify One Handed)
Ebony Blade or
Molag Mace and shield

Ebony is the ugliest armor in the game. It looks like something out of an over the top anime. And someone spraypainted it black.

Ehh no wonder i stick to just steel or wolf armor. They are as useful as they look.

And finally an ES game with nice looking robes.

Ain't that the truth.

Steel plated Armor with Imperial Bracers and Nordic cuffed boots look good, I usually toss a hood on for a better look than the tin can helmets though. Pentulus Oculus (sp) armor with hood, and Imperial boots and bracers also looks good.

The modded DB armor also looks good with the wrap around cowl and the redesigned armor. Basically anything that looks like it could actually be real armor looks better than the crazy stuff.

I can't even play anymore without the highres textures to boot. I'd like more hooded cloaks that wrapped around your upper torso area like a functional cloak versus some superman type of cloak like the nightingale armor.
