Iconic TES Armor Costumes

fata13xception_ESO

Data mining has already revealed costume replicas of Skyrim's iconic Dragon Warrior and Dragon Priest armors.




What other iconic TES franchise armors would you like to see added as ESO costumes?

We're talking about armor made famous by a character, not an armor style.

Ulric's and Tullius's gear from Skyrim

Can't remember the name but the armor you get at the end of Oblivion's main story.

Ancient Falmer Armor

Crusader Armor

Imperial Dragon Armor.
Which I would honestly have mixed feelings about. In Oblivion they mention the armor is special and not crafted for just anyone, you have to wait 2 weeks in game for them to make it, and it's an end game reward. To see so many people running around wearing it kinda diminishes it's value to me.

I'd like to see The Telvanni Robes added... and possibly the College of Winterhold mage robes. The costume pack could have the light blue apprentice robes, the college robes, and arch mage robes.

Alik'r outfits come to mind. Netch armor might be cool too .

Imho the iconic Skyrim armor isn't anything special to awaited for. Why would I want to change my Daedric, Xivkyn or Dwemer armor to any of these. Only because they are "iconic"?

Is anyone really satisfied with this rather mediocre look?

Gidorick

How about the Original Elder Scroll's Female Warrior armor?

I'm joking of course.... I'll post my actual response next.

Gidorick

I would love to have chitin armor in ESO...

Gidorick

I would also love armor of the Nine... but I guess it would be armor of the Eight in ESO.

I would also personally want quests associated with getting the motif for this armor... make us EARN it.

Callous2208

Gonna be honest here. That dragon warrior costume is like a day 1, shut up and take my crowns purchase for me. Kinda wish It were a motif though. The telvanni robes and chitin armor others have mentioned are also good suggestions.

"iconic Dragon Warrior"...it's the Dovahkiin (or should I say trailer-kiin)

I'd love to see the Ancient Nord armor-

I prefer that actually over most of the gaudy looking crap we have in eso.

I'd also like to see the Saviors Hide return with some Forsworn gauntlets and boots (here's the closest pic I can find, just lose that helmet)-

I like Sheogorath's outfit in Oblivion better than in any other TES (although the Daggerfall one looks great too):



And a Skaal outfit could be great, too.

they dont exist in lore yet

List:

i'd love to see netch hide armor
the arena raiment from oblivion (heavy, light and medium ones of course)
a spectral skin
merunes daedric blood skin (basically charred flesh and lava vains across the body, similar to how my other icy looking one is done )
an improved skeleton polymorph that acts more like a skin which can wear armor (improve both to show khajiit and nerf-lizards argonian tail bones n skulls)
and what i think will top it all... Imperial ebony armor costume.

Pelinal Whitestrake wore that armor back in the early 1st era. The lore breaking aspect would be there being more than 1 set of that armor.

I was thinking it would be more of "knockoff" of the original kind of thing... a group of knights who don't have the ACTUAL armor but armor based on this armor. Think of it like the knockoff batmans.

He couldn't have since the Crusader armor only carried the blessings of the eight and he was the pivitol point that caused the Ayleids to fall. Which all happened before The age we are in currently since the Ayleids have been dead and gone for quite some time already. Talos became a god at Tiber Septum's death in the 3rd Era. Which is why during the entire quest they keep saying "The 8 and 1" it's also why you got the blessing of Talos before fighting Umaril. It was the last bit of divine power needed to sever the tie he did with Meridia keeping him essentially alive in the spirit realm.

Me personally like to see ancient Nord style like the Draugr wear in the game which is similar to the ancient Nord style of Skyrim but more as a crafting style than a costume. But more wishing for ESO ancient Nord style or Draugr style depending on who you asking just cause well ESO version has pants.

@Gidorick : I'm going to disagree that Chitin should be a costume...because it should be a Motif instead. Ditto for Amber, Stalrim, Falmer...Shellbug I don't care one way or the other...

Dang! I want them as motifs too @WhiteCoatSyndrome! My bad.

Skayaq

There are other costumes based on motifs, so why not both?

On this subject, I am starting to feel a bit ripped off in the game because a lot of armor is cosmetic now so that it can be sold as costumes or the motif sold in the store. The sets that are exceptions to this rule are RNG. I am beginning to feel like there is no point in all of this because it is either cash or grind.

There are tons of costumes you can earn in-game the game.

Don't feel ripped, having armor be (for the most part) largely cosmetic means I can wear ancient elf robes, styled and colored exactly like the mages guild, but I can still have the stats I need to compete in PVP. In other MMOs it's one or the other, not both, and then you have these odd mix of different armor pieces and styles that look silly... all because the stats meet their needs.

I do not abhor the idea of the Crown Store. I was already buying plushies and nendoroid type figures (which I really don’t care for at all) to get pets in game so the idea of paying for additional content doesn’t concern me.

What does concern me, however, is the possibility that crown store items will replace gameplay goals and be relegated to fluff items which will make the usefulness of the Crown Store wane and will lead to lower profits for ZOS. I think there is a way to integrate Crown Store items into ESO gameplay that will not only encourage players to keep playing ESO but will also encourage those playing to buy crown store items.

ZOS should have some Crown Store items unlockable through quests within ESO. The item will be in the store, but won’t be purchasable. Looking at the item will either tell the player how to unlock the item through in game quests or will give the player the option to add a quest to their journal from the Crown Store.

Example:

The Knights of the Eight (precursors to the Knights of the Nine) exist in ESO. There could be full armor set costumes in the crown store for purchase, but only AFTER you complete the Trials of the Eight. There could be 4 different armor set costumes.

• Page of the Eight (Unlocked after completing 2 of the 8 trials)
• Squire of the Eight (Unlocked after completing 4 of the 8 trials)
• Knight of the Eight (Unlocked after completing 6 of the 8 trials)
• Lord of the Eight (Unlocked after completing 8 of the 8 trials)

If in the crown store, the player will receive a quest to visit a specific NPC in game in order to begin the trials. This will be added to their journal and they can visit the NPC whenever they wish.

Players that find the same NPC in game can start the trials without visiting the crown store and when they unlock the costumes in the crown store they will be informed in-game. This doesn’t mean, however, that there are no rewards for the trials. Each trial could reward one of the following crusader Relics:

• Greaves of Akatosh
• Cuirass of Dibella
• Sword of Arkay
• Mace of Zenithar
• Gauntlets of Stendarr
• Bow of Mara
• Boots of Kynareth
• Shield of Julianos

While these items together will provide the player with an (almost) complete set of armor the different pieces shouldn’t have a cohesive style. They will provide the player with stat bonuses as a reward for completing the trials and the mismatched nature of the items will give the players an incentive to buy the costumes from the Crown store to publically show their accomplishment.



This integration could also be achieved by providing players with the Crown Store item upon purchase which in turn allows them to participate in the in-games quests. Page of the Eight costume allows a player to go on the Page Trials, Squire of the Eight allows a player to go on the Squire Trials... etc.

This is the sort of synergy that will make the Crown Store more than a place where players feel they are being asked to shell out cash for in-game items. This type of integration could make the Crown Store a magnificent boon to players and to the overall RPG experience of ESO.

Thoughts?
