Some could be improved but then again, some of them look pretty damn good. The Ebony helmet looks really small compared to the rest of the armor, same with glass. Steel plate looks awesome on any character that doesn't have a tail and Orcish looks surprisingly good on a female character.

This is why I usually use leather armor or clothing to cover my chest then specialize my look with different gauntlets, boots and helmets.

I wish there were more Knight-styled armor other than Steel Plate. Ebony armor gives off a more dark knight feel.

It really needs some work. The only decent looking armor in this game is the Nightingale set.
The plate armor looks too much like a very plain 14th century knight. Even the Elven armor looks dull, it should be shiny. The Dwarven armor just looks ridiculous, especially the helm. The dragon armor is is totally horrific, someone said Flintstones and I'd agree there.

Anyone else agree??

I think all the armor looks great and Bethesda did a wonderful job. I eagerly await more of their great work by adding even more awesome armor to the game.

I agree.

I like dragonscale. But dragonplate is'nt as good.

You'd think they'd make the 100 smithing armour stronger than the 90.
That makes no sense.

I don't like deadric much. It's suffocating looking. And has boobplates on females.
I wore it once, then got dragonplate. Still boobplates, but looks better.

What most definately needs redoing is the freaking stupid boobplates and cleavages.
Make it all flat for females. And no more cleavages! YOU DO NOT HAVE CLEAVAGES IN HEAVY ARMOUR!
Theres boobplates on males too. I tried some males out, and they had boobplates in steel armour.
Not even the male armour is flat?! WTH!
Did a complete and utter moron design the armour?!
Someone who who thought that you had to show things you can't see under a shirt?!

The fur armour. It looks too skimpy. At least give it a cloak or something! Forsworn, they're crazy tribals who live in the warmest areas. So fair enough. Forsworn armours awesome.
But the rest of it, it looks far too cold. Yes, you would wander round that icey hell wearing a fur skirt and a skimpy top, not,

I wish they would change the armour to be the same for both sixes with the only diferences being details to show one is male, one is female. Flat brestplate and covers all the body.
You can't even see briasts when females wear armour.
In Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, you can't tell what gender a person is till they speak, because power armour looks the same on both genders. Like armour should. Every single piece of armour is flat and unisix.

If you wear heavy armour, you wear a padded surcoat or leather coat underneath to stop it ripping you up. So, female or male, your chest is flat. Then the armour adds a a size, because it has to be thick and loose enough to move when you fight.
So boobplate make zero sense on both genders.

If you wore that boobplate armour to battle, you'd die in seconds. They'd take one look at your unarmoured chest and boobplates, or cleavage, and drive their sword into your chest or through your briasts. You may as well paint a target on yourself.
Having seen the male boobplate armour, they'd do exactly the same to a man.

The cleavages don't make much sense in other armour either.
Forsworns tribal, so it does'nt matter as much.

But the fur etc, that cleavage and bared chest would be lethal.

Some of the helmets are too open. I would think that big high level armour would have a faceplate.
Dragonplate, dragonscale, daedric, those at least.

Not at all. It takes a good bit of playtime & perks to unlock that "weightless" perk for Heavy Armor. I'd rather wear light armor from the start, instead of going 2/3-3/4's of the time I play a character stumbling around with very heavy Heavy Armor taking up lots of my carrying capacity.

(i.e, just because something might give a big bonus at level 40, doesn't mean that anything else is useless - you still had to make it through levels 1-39 without it.)

Meh, I've never had an issue with carry weight limit. I think it's related to looting only the master chests and things I'll have a use for, because I know I don't need to sell all of the things I find to get ridiculous amounts of septims I can't spend on anything.
I could take the Steed stone anyway If I wanted to carry even more.

There are 100+ armor mods out there. Download and enjoy!

I have a grand idea that Beth should look into. Well you can train your smithing by buying it from Smiths right? Well why not make smithing styles a purchasable service? Maybe a talented Imperial Artificer can teach you how to make Cyrodillic Armors, or a Master Smith from Morrowind can show you how to construct all those badly graphiced suits (JK). That way you wont look like the bandits that are mauling you and it will make the character feel more connected to THEIR culture...and the RP would be sweet

That is the most Genius idea I have heard I know its something that Bethesda may never do but if they were thinking along the lines of Armour this would be a great idea. I know people would be thinking about were they would get materials for Armours from Valenwood or Morrowind put the Smith could sell you these items if you wanted to makes more of the Armour.

Now bare with me on this one.

These are the Armours I would change to look slightly more badass.

If the Dragon Armour had both Helmets covering your face. Simple!

If they refined the Ebony Armour but added bits of yellow like it has in the last TES Oblivion while keeping the original Ebony Armour for people who like the orginal Ebony Armour!

If they had a Glass Helmet that cover your characters face but was more badass looking.

And finaly more Armour like the Nightingale except white or something.

You heard my demands now make hast and do my bidding

The only disagreeance i have with this is the Ebony, i hated the gold on the Ebony in OB, i find the silver in Skyrim to be quite appealing

Somebody hates Boobs...

Cleavage/boob plate armors are not realistic. I, personally, like my armor to look like it protects a person, rather than making them look like a stripper.
