Tiber Septim was also a mortal. He was born and died just like any other man, wearing that awesome armor. It wasn't until after his death that he was immortalized as a divine.

I thought this post was going to be about a joke, like why did the chicken cross the road or something

Anyway, maybe in DLC you'll get that sort of armour

A valid question. I also like the armor Talos is wearing. Oh, well... compared to Oblivion, there are many more interesting armors in Skyrim even without that one

who cares about his damned armor i want HIS BEARD! Why bethesda why u never give us his beard!!!

Tsun and Ysgramor (statue) also have cool armor.. also unavailable (at least Ysgramor's isn't).

It's all about the capes.

I think Talos' beard is available.. it's the long bearded goatee, but not tied or twisted.

Also, on a sidenote, if you look closely, he kind of resembles the first default Nord preset. Same features in a way.. just with a beard. I wonder if that's coincidence.

Ok, it was an easy shot
