Xivkyn Polymorph questions

Bam_Bam

I'd like to be able to preview these or even just see what they look like - does anyone have a link to them please?

Also - can their helms be removed like normal? I saw a player recently and I'm sure she was wearing a polymorph but without a helm.

Link to how they look, not sure on the helms sorry.

No, you cannot run in a polymorph and hide helmet.

If a player has the hide helmet option on it will hide the helm and display their horns. I have it this way on my character as I like the look better.

The whole point of having the polymorph is to wear it without the helm to show off those horns and that ugly Xivkyn mug. Otherwise you're just a dude who made a really tall character and who is wearing undyed Xivkyn armor head to toe (probably who didn't even bother to put traits or enchants on the armor).

I think you can look around on YT and you should find some pics of the faces of the polymorphs. The armor is basically ful light, medium or heavy Xivkyn.

Not really. There's no dye combo that gives xivkyn armor the same polished look of the polymorphs.

actually, you can on some. the xivkyn's allow it as well as the draugr (below). I have not tried the others but know these do for certain. I would gamble and say the assassin morph does not?

Yes you can. This is true for the 3 Xivkyn polymorphs and the Cadavrous Assassin. Gets your facts straight

Aaaah I hate double post

Well, I meant as in hide everything and see your characters real face.

Oh well that's kinda obvious though lol

In addition, Xivkyn polymorphs have amazing voicing - and if you are lucky to have magicka templar wearing such polymorph, when you cast your healing ultimate or Healing Ritual ability, your character will say one of 3 different daedric phrases, very cool. I wish those phrases could be heard while using any "cast time"/channeled abilities

I'm gonna have to try the assassin when I get home, curious to see what it looks like (besides a skull, lol) but do you happen to know if it works on the morph one gets from vMA? I haven't been motivated to complete it and this might make me want to try.

Yeah I think so too, but I thought that was what OP meant

I hadn't noticed that. I'll listen for that.

Of the 3, I think it was the tormentor I preferred without helmet. The augur has 4 horns - 2 large and 2 small, all curved back. The dreadguard has 2 large horns curved back. But the tormentor has 2 horns curved forward for goring a hapless adventurer. It looks great when the tormentor does the bull horns emote. Awesome.

Edit: next poly with the possibility for horns needs HUGE horns like the devil from the movie Legend.

I have all three Xivkyn Polymorphs. When equipped with the hide helmet option, you cannot see your character's face. Instead you see a daedra face. Its a polymorph that changes both appearance and apparent height. It does not work like a costume.

Augur without helmet picture can be found on this thread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/216549/how-many-tel-var-stones-did-you-spend-for-your-polymorph/p4

If I got any of those wrong, sorry. It's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the polymorphs without helmets.

Awesome this is what I meant, I should have explained a bit better

You do have the option to leave the helmets on, of course. It that case, the polymorphs look like: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NXyQ0YwRFnw/maxresdefault.jpg
