New Heavy Armor Concept Art

Post » Tue Sep 17, 2013 2:57 am

The Elder Scrolls Online Facebook page just released new heavy armor concept art similar to the ones seen before with the Breton, Nord, and Altmer. Now it's featuring Redguard, Bosmer, and Dunmer.

Dunmer one looks nice, but don't really like the look of the Bosmer. I suppose it fits with their culture and society though.

Also, thank you for using their Mer names. ZOS keeps insisting on using their "common" names...

I guess im int he minority of liking the redgaurd armor, Im not a fan of full face covering helmets i want to look scary on my own, That and it had a sense of Regalness to it very proud looking armor.

I think its to make people not full involved in the series feel more comfortable with understanding the races, just simple generalization to bring the crowd together

Marketing, kids love their elves

I like it. There is alot of detail in it but it aint excessively overdone and shoulders mostly keep sane proportions. If thats the engame gear, its great

Yeah, it is. But using names that people have never heard of adds a bit of flavor to the game in my opinion. For me at least, it's getting tiring to see the game generic elf names and stereotypes.

Unfortunately, yep :/

Full-screen version (higher quality, too).

I can't wait to see the Khajiit, Argonian and Orsimer in their heavy gear too.

Oh wow, thanks! I'm gonna update the original post with that link, haha.

I can't pick a favorite because I love them all. Though I guess I love the Redguard one a bit more, lol.

Thanks for the link Ace, I've got to say that every one of the racial heavy armors that I have seen look incredibly good. Kudos to the concept artists and designers, well done.

I like the look of the Dunmer armour, but thought the Bosmer armour was in fact Nordic due to the helmet.

I wonder if we will see the armour from Dragonborn DLC that showed up in Skyrim http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130213031244/elderscrolls/images/0/08/Bonemold_Armor_-_Both.png

I kind of hope so.
