Motif/Armor predictions?

So seeing all the motifs coming up has be excited, and also worried.

So from what I could tell from Quakecon and other sources there will be in the future: Imperial Daedric, Morang Tong, Dark Brotherhood, and Thieves' Guild armor.

Now as far as if these are going to be motifs or just armor sets is a discussion for itself, but I really hope they don't make any of these as enigmatic as the Dwemer motif.

I COMPLETELY understand why the Dwemer motif is a legendary quality item. It's old, it's probably laying underground to centenaries and it would be realistically rare to find. Add on to that, there are almost NO NPCs that wear it in the game.

But I can't see this argument for the others.

Morang Tong - Secret Organization, but there will be plenty of quests involving the Morang Tong (I hope) so it seems like the armor wouldn't be all too rare.

Dark Brotherhood - Secret Organization, buuuuuuuut it will probably be a guild that everyone and their brother joins (I know I will), and if I'm in the DB, I wanna loo kthe part >:) not have to pay 100k or farm for a motif somewhere! Maybe a reward for completing the quest line?

Thieves' Guild - Same as above.

Imperial Daedric - This I can understand being legandary. But instead of it being a randomly found motif, why not a cool reward for closing all anchors, and defeating all daedric lords in Cryodiil? (if they get added to Cyrodiil...

Anyway opinions? I mean I'm not heartbroken if these motifs are rare, but seeing people sell Dwemer for 200k kinda bites :/

Looks like I gotta get back to grinding gold :D

    In the MT and TG, the armors should be part of a quest reward. Of course that introduces the issue of Leveling past the reward. So it could be Bound Motif with a mechanic similar to the Imperial where if it's converted it's bound. Here the armor would be bound once made. But what if someone does not craft?

    Those organizations would be more protective of their gear, so it would be lore friendly to do this. The questions are accessibility to those who earned the right to wear it, and lack of accessibility to those who are not part of the Faction/Guild

    Imperial Daedric, well, not sure about that one. Maybe Shoegorath will hand those out like Cheese Candy.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
