What armor styles do you use?

BlackPhillip

I use a motif that is different from the original 10

My PVP set up. The Batman



I wish we could start hiding gear like our helmets or change the look/style of gear in the future

PVE.

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

I use the breton hero costume and I recolor it once every 3 months! I have gotten a lot of compliments for it. and the bow is thieves guild style I think?

I still use the original 10 racial motifs

All of my characters wear something different. Each time I'm making new equipment for them I look through the different styles I have available and pick the one I think looks best. Which is easier said than done since there's no way to preview them in-game and most the galleries online seem to focus on the more exotic styles so they don't always have pictures of the racial styles, especially not for all tiers.

Wow, that actually looks really good!

I do regret not buying that outfit. The letdown of the Cape plus the price tag turned me off, at the time.

People still use crafted gear?! Dude, drops.

I was torn between options. I wear costumes because drop gear

EvilCroc

Crafted altmer TBS, Julianos or Kagrenac. SPC on jewels, hat and sash.
Altmer light motif is the best.

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

The only armor styles I really like are the khajiit style and some style that kind of looks like the Arena armors from Oblivion. I saw someone wearing it but didn't get a chance to ask what it was.
None of the sets that my chars wear wear khajiit style sets, so I give them costumes which I like better as a whole anyway. I love the blue IC day dress and long white dress, and I also use the red IC temple tunic and the new redguard gala dress

I use a healthy mix of different styles on one character.

With Ebony and Ra Gada, my Templar can finally look like a proper knight.
And that's in 5 light 1 medium 1 heavy.

You don't have a choice if you want to wear the best gear since it is farmed.

So I wear the ordinator costume (dyed white and gold) over my mish-mash of hideous farmed styles.

Bits of this, bits of that, mainly from Khajiit, Argonian and Bosmer. As much as I enjoy crafting, i'm not a huge fan of the appearance of many motifs. The less it looks like armour, the better.

That looks awesome.

Too bad he can't perform like one though without farmed gear.

This game badly needs a transmog system.

Elara_Northwind

I'm not fussed either way.

Due to having to wear a costume most of the time to cover up my hideous dropped armour sets, the style of any crafted pieces is unimportant, as they will never be seen anyway...

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

If ZOS let us RESTYLE OUR GEAR this could change.

Right now I wear 4 costumes on my main and 1-2 costumes on my alts that I don't use. The only exceptions (in which I do not wear costumes) are:

• One particular PvP setup on my main character, where the armor looks great and is in a very unique motif (Mazzatun-style)
• One particular PvE setup on one of my alts, where my crafted TBS armor looks cool (Akaviri-style)

• My lvl 5 Khajiit pack mule who wears standard "clothes"
• My lvl 5 Argonian pack mule who wears a different set of standard "clothes"

That's it.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

I use a healthy mix of different styles on one character.

I know more motifs that I will ever use (about 70% of all current motifs). Would try more if ZOS implemented a transmog system.

sentientomega

I still use the original 10 racial motifs

I use the original 10 playable race motifs, and dress and play the classes almost exactly as they appear in the character creation screen's champion armour preview mode (except that my stamplars do not use battle axes and my stamknights do not main 1h/s), right up to using the closest possible dyes, which have been a challenge to try and match. When I first saw those fourty outfits, it was love at first sight, and so I decided it would be appropriate to render homage unto what I believe to be great models, with great colours.

The outfits suit the characters who wear them, anything else just wouldn't work.

Oreyn_Bearclaw

People still use crafted gear?! Dude, drops.

BSW and Rattlecage (PVE/PVP) are both Daedric, so yeah, thats what I wear most of the time. Ebony looks really awesome to me, but unless they come up with a way to change armor styles, I wont be using it. I also wear costumes on most of my alts/mules. My stam sorc and Stam DK both wear 5 pieces of Dro-m'Athra (NM/TBS).

Meh, it's good enough for most content (5 Julianos, 4 Magnus, 3 Willpower).
Also makes it easier to switch between healer and DD.

Taleof2Cities

I use a healthy mix of different styles on one character.

Ra Gada (Heavy; Chest & Belt)
Ebony (Heavy; Shoulders, Helm, and 2H Sword)
Skinchanger (Heavy; Legs)
Order of the Hour (Medium; Arms and Feet)

Still have two 5-piece set bonuses ... as Ravager now comes in Ebony style.

Didaco

I use both the original 10 and the exotic/new ones.

I often use Khajiiti stuff here and there, mixed with various styles.

It mostly depends on how I want that character to look like from the beginning (I don't create new characters if I don't already have in mind how they will end up looking), but that's the rule, generally.

Whatever is first up in the crafting wheel

Browiseth

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

plus all the newer styles are designed for edgelords

geonsocal

personally i really like the orc and imperial styles...i do use some costumes - but, mostly i like to use a bunch of the disguises you come across doing different quests...you can't color them, but, they do hide you vampirism nicely...

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

Until I can change the monster set styles, I cover them up with a costume.
But, the chars that don't use them, I mostly wear mercenary for the crafted and whatever dropped for the rest. I usually craft all the major armor pieces for the look and then fill in the rest with needed traits.

For whatever it's worth, there were 14 motifs at launch. Daedric, Ancient Elf, Barbaric, and Primal were all part of the original game. The post release ones start with Dwemer.

That is something that I didn't know. Started playing in august '14, thought they were added post launch!

Tandor

I still use the original 10 racial motifs

Original racial styles, mixture of light/medium/heavy according to class and character, assorted sets according to class, passives and character.

MasterSpatula

I use a motif that is different from the original 10

I should have selected "mix," because every character is different.

Celestial Chest, Redguard Shoulders, Breton gloves, all light, on my Magica Sorc

All Dunmer light on my wannabe Ordinator Dunmer Templar.

Dwemer Heavy for my tanky DK.

Planning on a Medium Glass set for a Stam NB, but haven't put it together yet.

Others are still WIPs.
