Concept art of the Vampire motif coming with Greymoor

To me, this looks like whoever used to design armor (and costumes!!) are currently working on TESVI or Starfield or something else. Its so samey. It literally looks like they build an armor set by taking other armor sets and making an outfit. Now I'm not sure what they can do really. There's only so far you can go in a game like this and maybe that point has been reached. If the word vampire wasn't attached to this I'd have no idea it was named that. How to do that I've no idea. But this is boring and might as well not exist. Its just uninteresting to me and I'm sorry someone has taken the time to make it to get that response from someone. Maybe the problem is vampire armor just has never really existed in these games (that I'm aware) but with armor like Daedric... I was expecting more vampire here.

Meh. The new motifs are all starting to look the same.

I agree. This was my immediate thought. Id prefer them to start making some complimentary themes: like Dro mathra motif and skin were. Much of the designs lately have felt like rehashes with minute detail differences at best. If we are going to have vampire be "revamped" heh...then give us the yellow eyed look of the Skyrim DLC vampires so that at least they look great under that hood.

pretty sure thats how they do it...they design one armor set and then use the same model and slightly adapt it to make other sets...i think there is only handful really original designs...a lot of the vampire set feels exactly the same as it is designed as for example the other greymoor blackreach set.

Thats why you find a lot of the same design elements on a lot of armors...for example a couple of recent armors feature the exact same scarf type design

Yay! more hip flipflaps

Interesting fact, they used exact same armor design in cinematic trailer.

So abilities and overall look of the vampires seems will match trailer too. I think there will be bat swarm gap closer.
As for motif design, again, it don't look vampiric. It looks more like uniform for some kind of group or organization, like thieves guild or thalmor. It will fit, if in Greymoor chapter someone will gather organaized army of vampires, but i want more "regular" motif, something between clothes and armor, like this:

Absolutely nothing vampiric in this motif, very disappointed. It looks more like Thalmor motif.

Just slap a bat emblem on it. Boom. Problem solved!

BATMAN!

eh...honestly it looks still quite generic and not enough different... i like the skyrim armor better... but i like a lot of the skyrim designs better.

I will admit I do like this vampire style a lot and wish they did something similar.

Why would a Vampire have a motif style anyway? or is their an official uniform all Vampires must wear now? it was stupid enough in Skyrim and lorewise makes absolutely zero sense.

Might as well paint a target on your forehead and hold a sign saying I am a Vampire which certainly is not legal.

Nomadic_Atmoran

If the Falmer are at all present in the Chapter and whatever vampiric family this is. That might explain the elven appearance to the armor.

Actually seeing the Skyrim vampire outfit with this ESO vampire concept art I can actually see some similarities like the layered shoulder pads and gloves. Be cool if they included the Skyrim vampire royal armor as well.

XomRhoK

One more thing. Strange choice to make closed helmet for heavy armor. If this is a vampire's armor how he will feed with new bite animation?

Looks more Elven than vampiric, but I'll take it.

it's the color
the gold doesn't fit the Gothic theme of Vampires

Picture with weapon from ESO twitter.

Love slim blade sword. Two-handed axe seems very long.

Some vampires might wear motifs, though it was a bit silly for almost every vampire in Dawnguard to have same armor and robes. I agree with that but these vampires I can see it being part of a uniform for those serving in the Greymoor Society. To me it looks like a mix of Altmer and Breton or how they might design them. I think the Gray Host were majority Bretons and to me the vampires in the Trailer look to be Bretons. I think we will see a few vampire motifs, this one could be a Gray Host Motif. Given The Leader of the Gray Host was A Breton Vampire King before his death many of his subjects could have been Breton vampires and the Vampire Lord we seen in the Trailer could be a Breton.

I suspect the Vampires in the Underground we are going to meet are going to be remnants or refugees of the ancient city of Verkarth hence why it might be called Greymoor. The Symbol on the map they said is the entrance to Black Reach in the German Live Stream. It also seems to be the same symbol on the Gray Host Urns in the Unhallowed Grave if you know the Lore then you will know what is buried there. Plus Gray Host is the name of one of the Campaigns. So the Gray Host will likely play a big part in the Chapter.

The vampires in the video might have been investigating what was going on. The Guy we see watch and then turn into bats and flee back to Black Reach to possibly report whats going on could play into part of the storyline.

Since the Ravenwatch are returning I can see them creating a new motif for them as well and for sure we will more vampire style motifs including the Harborsworn Motif. We will see Nordic style Motifs as well. So I can see new Vampire and Nordic motifs making their way to the game this year. Hopefully new Vampire furnishings will be included along with Nordic Furnishings that will for sure be added in.

It looks so samey to many other motifs we already have. It fits right in with all the other pointy daedric-ish styles like Daedric, Xivkyn, Legion Zero all those pvp ones etc.

You make a really good point!

Thevampirenight

Also stumbled across what I think might be the Ravenwatch motif or attire. The woman on the right who I suspect might be Gwendis is wearing a unique outfit style.
So I do think we will seeing a Ravenwatch Motif just my theory.

bmnoble

The gold colour in the concept art makes it feel like its an Elven style, better be fully dye able, not been liking those various Dragon Hunter styles they have been putting in the crown store lately with parts you can't dye.

Looks very nice, but I'm not sure it screams "Vampire Lord". Someone above said it looks more Thalmor and I agree with that.

And when will they give us a motif without dirty great big hip armour or inconceivably long dangling parts around your..... well, around your dangling parts!?

Yeah I know....... rhetorical question.

I think that might be the "Skaal Explorer" outfit you could get from last years xmas event.

Actually I think it looks like it does because of the vampire lord. Which has similar gold contrasts to it.
Even the same hip flap has the a similar symbol.

Sadly most concepts were looking promising which I can't tell about finished product, or some unfinished even (looking at you horned dragon swords and daggers).

I am breaking in a new pair of glasses but even so, I can't see any resemblance between the picture you posted and the concept art of the new motif style. Maybe I'm missing something !!

Nemesis7884

it just looks way too generic and not thematic enough...

i get they want it to be universally appealing but if you try to appeal to everyone you end up not appealing to anyone. We have enough generic motifs already... really a missed opportunity.

Gold is close to the Trailer version I believe.

In the trailer he has no lower skirt in what is clearly the light armor.
I really hope there is a jerkin of the light one that is closer to the trailer armor as THAT i love.
