Which armor do you think looks the best/coolest?(Based on looks, not stats)

[MrDSL]

Nightingale
Dragonscale

None. I usually go with modded armor/clothing. It amazes me how someone sitting at their PC using free programs can make a better looking armor than the guys that get paid to do it.

But if I have to choose my favorite looking Vanilla armor, It's Carved Nordic Armor.

 

[samgurl775]

Penitus Oculatus, Dawnguard (light), Linwe's Armor, and Vampire Royal Armor are all among my favorites.

 

[Skulli]

Speaking of Mods, here are a few of my favorites...

 

[Thorn]

I am partial to the Scaled Armors for light armor and, aesthetically for heavy armor, I like the Banded Iron, Heavy Dawnguard, and Steel Plate

Maybe because it's easier to focus only one thing and improving it from already existing. Considering previous ES games they did improved armors and made a new ones. Doing some thing from scratch it's totally different thing.

If you mean female armors which are more like metal or leather bikini and final fantasy, WoW, assassin creed like armors... than I disagree. That just doesn't fit in the ES world. There are some mods which makes armors better looking than vanilla which doesn't clash with ES world.

Call me weird, but I like the individual hold guard's armours the best. I tend to try and collect every cuirass and shield from every hold. I just like their pretty colours.

Yep I collected them all too - I like the shield emblems, they look neat for each city/town

 

[Gregor Moon Fang]

Male - Daedric, Ebony, Orcish, Dragonscale, Nightingale

Female - Dragonscale, Nightingale, Ancient Nord, Forsworn

 

[DrunkenMage]

Mage armor. I can stop a blow from a war hammer using my chest hair.

 

[Ritterkreuz]

Daedric looks awesome on my Argonian, definitely my favorite. Prior to being able to make that I usually keep in either Nordic Carved Armor with an Iron Helmet, or his light Imperial armor. On a Nord male Character the Nordic Carved armor with a Stormcloak Officer's helmet is a good combo.

 

[Leseras]

Platemail. Just looks very paladin-ish to me

 

[Lethennon]

I actually like a full set of light dragon armor.

Stat wise it rocks too.

 

[Daedra'Mc'Bitch]

Falmer heavy armor, baby! Too bad you have to wait until you're a high level before meeting up with a falmer warmonger. Makes the acquisition of the armor a pain in the ass.

 

[Jarrad]

I like the Fur Armour with the sleeves, the Steel Armour with the shoulder ( bits ? lol ) and the Scale Amour the most based on appearance.

 

[Saint Vicious]

Deadric with ebony helmet. I just don't care for the deadric helmet. Then nightingale. I wish I could get unenchanted nightingale. Then make it the way I want it.

 

[ShangTsung]

definitely falmer! i like the new dlc falmer heavy armor but much prefer the original, especially the original falmer helmet, but anything falmer just looks beast imo..

You can keep your ebony, bury your daedric, and do away with your dragon armor.

For aesthetics, I'll use Imperial armor, especially the heavy armor with the closed helmet.



If only they had an Imperial spear, then this picture would be complete.

 

[Psiberzerker]

Ebony in Vanilla, Chitin in Dragonborn.

I would give my left nipple for a Pilium.

 

[MiniPea]

Even though it's impossible to get without console commands, meaning I'm unable to use it, the Psijiic robes are definitely one of the best.
