I think I found what inspired Bethesda's Nightingale Armor : V

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 7:05 pm

So I was browsing around Reddit today and a dude posted an album with lots of awesome LARP costumes. One of them looked surprisingly like the Nightingale Armor and I thought I would share with you guys.

Someone puts waaaaaay to much time into their Larping armor.

Kinda reminds me of the armour the ring wraiths wear in lord of the rings.

first thing that came to my mind was moon knight costume.

Nightingale armor looks like a bad superhero outfit. Seriously, what is with the cape?

It seems like Revan's robes. (The awesome sith lord robes)

That is awesome.

I want that for next Halloween

Looks like someone over at Bethesda was spending too much time on Facebook instead of coding the game properly.

And having to upgrade the damned armor with void salts is RIDICULOUS.

It's a pretty lame concept.

Is my guy supposed to be at the armour table pouring salt on it and hitting it with a hammer?
Peeps be trippin'

Not only that, but they are damned expensive, and when was the last time you saw a storm atronauch just wandering around?! In my 6 characters and over 600 hours of gameplay, never have I seen a wild atronauch....ever.

Atronach forge...

But seriously this was made before Skyrim? Are you sure?

bbut you need void salts to make those damned things, so it defeats the purpose....

The photo is dated as uploaded in 2010 so it definitely looks like they took the armour concept

I though it was inspired by "Darth" Revans Attire...

I have no idea what "larp" is but I've got to admit this is creative and impressive.

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 12:22 am

Black on black was never original :laugh:

larp ~ live action role play;
-running around beating each other with pvc foam weapons, and make cheesy in character declarations.

Is pretty cool.

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 4:03 pm

looks sick

actually better than in game armor with the lame NO moving cape (if it moved it would have been cool)

I thought the same thing....

the cape makes it rather lame.
