Which racial motif do you all find the most aesthetically appealing?

Griffinstein · April 2014

Since we are sitting here waiting for the server to be back up for launch I figured I'd see what styles everyone enjoy.

Altmer (High Elf)
Ancient Elf
Argonian
Barbaric/Reach
Bosmer (Wood Elves)
Breton
Daedric
Dunmer (Dark Elf)
Khajiit
Imperial
Nord
Sexy Orc
Primal/Primitive
Redguard

Out of the basic motifs for heavy armor. its a tie between nord, imperial, altmer, breton, and dunmer (all with hidden helm of course). I have yet to see the vet motifs beyond primal (which fills me with terror) but I got a good feeling about them

I could be biased, but the Breton style robes, especially once you hit level 30ish, would be my favorite style.
As far as heavy armor, Imperial would be my favorite, same for medium.

Sseerah_Shei · April 2014

Argonian! I love the tribal appearance of their robes. Makes them look like a shaman almost

HaphazardAllure · April 2014

I love Argonian armor and the Khajiit staves with the half moon on top.

Imperial! Everything's just so leathery and whatnot. Nords are badass, too.

I'm playing as a Nord - iron and steel armor wasn't all that great. But now that I'm crafting and wearing using orichalum, I think the armor is seriously wicked looking. Starting to look like the Nord from the ESO trailer. That was kind of what I was hoping for.

Griffinstein · April 2014

I'm fond of the Dunmer style on female characters but am partial to the Imperial so far with my male character. I haven't seen some of the other motifs like the daedra, primal, barbaric, or the sexy orc so idk about them. If anyone has pictures of their toon wearing that any of those styles that would be awesome!

Bosmer style, at least for males and medium armor, is really cool. Also the heavy armor looks legit, and the light armor seems pretty cool. Haven't really seen much of those though.

Kobb · April 2014

Breton is pretty consistently nice across all armor types, even if it's pretty "normal." I especially like Breton light hoods.

Dunmer medium and heavy are awesome (haven't tried light), and Altmer has some of the same visual elements I like about Dunmer. I like Bosmer style almost entirely for the middle-tier light epaulets with antlers on them, heheh. I don't care for the heavy bone armor much, and still need to check out medium.

Khajiit style in general is pretty great, though the heavy helms take a little while to start looking cool IMO. Orc is fantastic for heavy armor, though the light armor is a bit underwhelming at low levels.

I just wish I could craft jerkins outright. My light armor wearer is a refrigerator-shaped orc, and looks goofy in most robes. So far Bosmer seems to be the best choice for him - since the skirt doesn't go all the way to the feet it evokes "kilt" a little more than "dress."

Luciana · April 2014

Imperial heavy for me, I've just started using Orichalcum and it's looking better and better.

Ragnar_Lodbrok · April 2014

Nord. All you milk drinkers can go sleep with a skeever who say otherwise.

MercyKilling · April 2014

I mix and match styles and grades of armor.
Currently experimenting with a 3/2/2 setup. 3 heavy, 2 medium and 2 light. Might eventually go with a 4/3 setup as far as the grading goes, but I'll likely continue to mix up the styles.

Tess_Phyreforge · April 2014

Orc for Female Heavy Plate, has a little cut out in middle chest to show some skin,
Bosmer[Bone] for Med Armor for female,
Have not found any armor in the light armor class that looks that good on a female toon,
Argonian light armor chest is not to bad,
we need option for tops, I don't like long skirts attached, so offer dress or short tops.
I would like the top style of the Argonion light armor with a pair of pants.

Seems games these days leave out armor choices for us females,
we need more options for us female toons,

TieFighter · April 2014

khajiit heavy ftw with the terror facemask and the traditional lion mane- so awesome

CaptainSilverbrow · April 2014

I love the appearance of the Argonian armor, but that may be my bias overriding my sense; I wear the Keeper disguise at all times to amplify that aesthetic, too. I will say, the higher-leveled Argonian weapons (in their Mayan architectural approach) are absolutely grand. I do also like the Redguard and Bosmer armors, though.

Rosveen · April 2014

My favorites are Argonian - simply fantastic! - and Bosmer. I'm really happy with the way Bosmer armor looks, it's important to me because I've always played Bosmer in TES. Imperial armor is quite nice too, and how could I not mention Khajiiti helmets?

I dislike Altmer and Redguard.

Hands down the worst armor design in this game. It's funny how widely different opinions people can have, isn't it?

Varivox9 · April 2014

IMO, for heavy, Breton (minus the helm, not a fan of the helm...). Others seem a little too "fantasy" at times.

Zakua · April 2014

I am loving my Bosmer hvy suit with a primal hvy belt and primal hvy helmet. I all about dragons..I breath fire have dragon scale looking armor and just cant get enough of looking at my self in game lol.

Pathetic I know but I'm a shallow aesthetic kinda guy hahah, If it looks cool (to me ) I'll use it =P

Skulls and dragons...YAY! I still have T-shirts with dragons on them...I know...but I LIKE EM!

Dekkameron · April 2014

Argonian medium armour for my female Orc nightblade.
