Same armor skin from 36 to vet 7 !!!??

Nightgard

Hi,

I was looking at "Eso Fashion" (great site btw) and I realized that, except for the colors , armor skins after lvl 36 are exactly the same until vet 7 , maybe after ??

A little... lame. They could have done at least a different skin for vet levels...

I liked to see my character armor grow with my levels, now (vet 1) I'm still dressed like a lvl 36.

Or give us the possibility to use low level skins with high stats , I don't know, something to vary.

thank you.

Pretty disapointed as well

I was really annoyed by the fact that vet1 crafted equipment has the same stats as lvl 50 crafted equipment.. so why did I go to all the trouble of finding enough birch to refine to make myself a new bow when the frigging thing is no better than my current bow?

spent pitch and turpen on the frigging thing only to see the exact same values as my current bow

Well 50=v1
This is not fact, but I have noticed if you have higher tier material in a lower lvl area it will not wear down as fast, so I see it a plus to have v1 armour in 50 zone because it does not break as fast and 50 will break faster in v1 zone, still not sure if it is this way but I think there is something to it.

I do totally agree with this. Most of the skins from low levels (bosmer or redguard specifically for female characters) are more beautiful than the ones from higher levels.

A way to transfer skins from a piece of armor to another could be a way to solve this problem easily.

Another way would consist in creating new skins, with disguises or new amor skins. There are some suggestions here in the forum and pictures from other Elder Scrolls games or mod that could be interesting. I don't want the famous "chainmail bikini" at all or underwear visible, there are other MMO for this but we may find something between this end and the actual austerity of many skins which present a real lack of class !

I've noticed this in betas, and kinda hoped there are just 4 tiers of looks JUST BECAUSE it was beta.
When the game launched, I was still pretty confident that they'll just add more looks in content patches... but oh well.

Well, those racial styles at least have 4 looks, those "rare" styles - ancient elf, daedric, primal and barbarian, only have 1 look, and even that one has bad textures (especially barbarian one, which looks like it was done in MS Paint and looks exactly the same for white, green and blue variant (at least for lvl 26 items)... didn't even care to spend more tempers to find out how purple and yellow looks like)..


so far (till dyes come out in a week or two) I'm most concerned about *** color combinations. For example, lvl 26 Altmer bow is SILVER with light brown wood. It's quiver, however, is DARK (almost reddish) BROWN with GOLDEN plating.. well, I have nothing against mix-matching, but that's just killing my fashion sense. Especially since you can do nothing about it..

What you mean is more of the female's breasts are on show in the lower level gear.

Tier 2(lvl 16) khajiit silver robe was looking better than anything you can get up to VR 8's RED&BLACK dunmer robe, and it wasn't even showing anything..

Not really... :P For example, the low level Redguard heavy armor is more interesting than the high level one because it seems to mix cloth with metal and I like the short sleeves too. Sure it's more close-fitting than the high level armor (so more feminine) but it's not the onely thing I like.

However, work with free spaces, where skin can be seen (and tatoos) is interesting, I have to admit it.

yeah this is extremely disapointing and needs to be fixed/improved on asap imo. even if vet 1-12 were all the same atleast make it unique to level 36..

It honestly looks like they didn't have time to finish the rest of the models and someone said, to hell with it just change the color around they won't notice. (well guess what, we noticed).
I would actually have liked to see a few motifs starting out with full cover and becoming less as they level. Not every race is ashamed of their bodies.

I've been in the same armor skin since the Pre-teens. I actually kind of like it. but in this case I am referring to a disguise. Found one I liked on a quest and never took it off. The only time I see my real armor is during the login screen. And some of those heavy armor sets are so ugly I am glad I don't have to look at them while playing.

The only downside to a disguise is that every time you port or phase into a new area, your character goes through the motions of putting the disguise back on. But after seeing this same motion a hundred times I don't even hardly notice it any more.

I agree.
Have you all seen this?

I read, I commented, I voted : yes (as everyone). Thanks for sharing.

It will not solve the whole problem but it's a really good idea .
