    I didn't find much wrong with it, it looked like a zombie.

    Unless I've missed some issues with it somewhere.

    I have found it in the crates. Not sure what the price is, but I think it's well done.

    I actually thought it was pretty good. I thought it provided a lot more value than the 400 gem skin from the last crates.

    Don't see the point of skins because unless you run around nude or with one of the few costumes /armour that are skimpy, no one sees them. It was very lackluster.

    It would have been a better polymorph. It's a bit strange to look like a decaying zombie, but your gear looks brand new.

    if it was a polymorph maybe zos could've done more/better.

    It looks like a zombie so I guess it fulfills its purpose but I wish there were "less ugly" skins.

    This is purely a personal opinion thing, but I like it. It’s goal was to make you look like a zombie and it achieves that. Quite well, I might add.
    You also need to remember that the appearance of zombies varies greatly across almost every form of media. Movies do it differently to games. Games do it differently to tv shows.
    For a skin in a game, I think ZOS did a good job. It’s also nice to see a different approach to how a zombie looks.

    There are styles and costumes which look the part (Soul Shriven) that can be used with it though.

    That's what I was thinking.

    Maybe a "Rotting" or "Grave Armor" motif that looks distressed and disheveled and piecemeal would be cool.

    I like it but I there are a few points I would improve. The skin does not go all the way around the head, it kind of cuts off abruptly and doesn't look good when you have no hair or helm. Secondly, the decomposition on the legs and arms are mirrored copies of each other which looks strange. They should have done what they did with the zombie horse, and have one side vastly different from the other. Its one of the few mounts that is not symmetrical.

    You could try the soul shriven motif armour, or even the lich set. Both look good with this skin.

    Imo it looks good enough at least way better then the flame atro skin, also it fits well with soulshriven or draugr motif also could work well with the Fang Lair motif (at least when they will release that)

    As a sucker for skins I was excited for it when it was datamined. Then realized it was in the crates and felt disappointed. Then realized it's actually only 100 gems which happens to make it within my grasp if I wish to buy it. Except that since I've been stuck playing on low settings with 720p it just looks like someone smeared some chocolate on the character. I'll have to get my game on high/ultra again before I decide whether it's truly worth it or not.

    Barbaric Jack is a good contender (on female model at least) but the side-flaps just float, Mercenary Epaulets kinda works with it. Can't really find leg armor that appears decayed, and Barbaric Gloves kinda looks like tattered bandages.

    I was one of the people who did not like it, and i'm all for gory skins but...it was not gory enough, I was hoping for a chunk out of the arm, perhaps some bone showing ect, not sure how they would of done it but it did look a bit..off... like the scabs/raw skin was just painted on.. like face paint.. maybe i need to look at it again, but that was my first impression.

    (just gonna stick in brackets here that this is my opinion on it....)

    I can't decide if the zombie skin is more like The Walking Dead or the original Night of the Living Dead.

    People don't agree with you so you turn to this? Why not explain what you don't like and how you think it could be improved, challenge people on the parts they feel are good and you didn't.
