On my first playthrough when I hooked up my pickpoket to 100 with all perks I had an Idea where I would choose a city and equip the whole town with daedric armor and weapons but what I didn't know is that they don't equip the armor or weapons you place in there inventory I wanted to fight the entire city while they where wearing there new outfits I gave them.I haven't played morrowind for very long but the first thing I noticed was when I sold a shopkeeper in balmora assassin armor she instantly wore it! I wish beth left that in for skyrim.this could have been a very fun experiment but oh well.

With all the town guards envying my dragon armor, I tried to give them some and see if they'd wear it. I thought it'd be kinda neat to see all the guards in Whiterun decked out in dragonplate armor, but apparently they prefer their yellow uniforms.

I believe you have to leave the cell before they equip it.

AI stood around 24 hours a day, 7 days a week waiting for the PC in Morrowind. In Oblivion and Skyrim, they have a simple but full day/night cycle, voice acting, ect. AI has changed in so many ways, and this is just one feature that has been overlooked during the process. Its always been give and take, I really enjoyed the huge blocks of text to investigate in Morrowind, over the new voice acting. You can't fight progress.

I loved that in morrowind.
Selling stuff and the shopkeeper puts it on x) funny

Yeah, I tried to rescue a certain quest related NPC and in the process I reverse pick pocketed some items that would help him fight along side me while we escaped that place... But this particular NPC thought it'd be cooler to run around in beggars clothes and punch the enemy in the head with his bare hands.

I thought it was foolish bravery and I took my items back.

Maybe they will be punished for not sticking to the strict dress code for their particular town, when the Thalmor are involved who knows what evil goes on in the background.

It would have been awesome if they put dragon armor on!

One Step Forward, Two Steps backwards. A shame that the AI is still just as advanced as it was back in Oblivion and Fallout 3.

Hey was it possible to reverspickpocket in morrowind or any other tes game before? it would have been interesting to put a deadric cuiress that drain the wearer's life on a hard boss or something.

i miss putting deadric armour on random people in oblivion (or even better, my hood of drain stamina, for those pesky immortals), shame we cant do the same in skyrim

Wait I thought you wheren't able to reverse pickpocket in oblivion?

you cant reverse pickpocket things that have wieght, bound armour didnt have wieght and neither did nomral mage hoods (there was some normal clothes aswell and maybe some more things but i only ever used bound armour and the hood)

You could if the item had 0 weight, which permanant Bound Armor conveniently has.

I love how daedric looks, but I use a combination of Einherjar+Warchief+Helm of Yngol combo. Warchief boots/Einherjar Chest/ Sons of Skyrim gauntles(einherjar)/ Helm of Yngol or Warchief helmets... either way the character looks very dangerous, recently downloaded a shield... Viking Spawn... now it looks like he can r**e and pillage the country side.

I might play oblivion agian

I refer to it as Demonclown Armor. Way too cliche for me. Never worn it, probably never will.

Its kind of like when a goth or emo kid puts on too much makeup and tries too hard to be dark and sorrowful. You end up laughing at them.

My character always went for either ebony, when all the armour was a progression, or glass as it was the best light armour. I really liked the light blue of the adamantium armour of waaaayyyy back.

I've always hated deadric armour. Fear me I'm spikky!!! It suffers from a different version of over doing that some evil warhammer stuff does, with the needzmorezskullz shiz...


As for Rev pickpocket It works in FO n NV have kitted out loads of the scabby shabby shantys to seem like they'd survive more than a mole ran attack.

I don't. I tend to choose armor depending on race ...Nord = nord / wolf / dragon, Bosmer = elven, Orc = Orc, Imperial = legion / steel plate / ebony etc etc.


This is probably the one thing I've disliked in TES games is the way there isn't more equality on the variety of armor types. I love the majority of armor designs as opposed to some of the far fetched wacky designs in other rpg games, but I'd prefer if a character is able to smith or hire a smith who is capable of making a lower ranking cheaply made iron armor into an massive high ranking armor out of ebony rather than an orc feeling it best to give up the orcish armor for an Imperial looking ebony armor or an alien looking deadric armor.

That way a cheaply made orcish armor made from iron would probably look mostly grey and when improved and expensively produced from ebony will more likely look more black. Different materials could change the colour of the design

I don't wear daderic armour. I think dragon armour should have been the strongest.

I hope they can fix/add this feature !

Daedric armor has always been ugly, and always will be ugly.

It just looks like crap.

I dont want shop keepers to be wearing armour, i think it looks silly and ruins the mood, theyre shop keepers, not warriors.

Also i would prefer it if only some people were equipped with weapons.

Title of thread is confusing?
