    If it looks different, then no it's probably not an update, but rather a new style.

    Which would be consistent with previous DLCs.

    The base game's original armours are still some of the best, even with lower quality textures. Would be nice to see them touched up.

    yea its definitely new / different from the original nord armors... i like it, i hope its available to players and not only the guards...

    It always annoys me greatly that i am not able to get the styles FOR a dlc DURING the dlc but not until the next update... i want to explore Skyrim AS Nord IN Nord armor and not as a Khajit in Elsweyr armor... i just really disslike this release process....

    .

    I still miss the original Redguard light armor.

    The "higher quality texture" replacement just looks ugly.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    I would guess a new armor style. All of the original armors have kind of had new offerings with every DLC related to that area while still leaving the old style there.

    I would imagine it could be a new style, given the general dichotomy between Western Skyrim and Eastern Skyrim.

    Most of the time the basic motifs for the Chapter or zone DLC start dropping from the daily quests right away. Or you can collect armor sets in that style as you adventure.
    For example, the Anequina motifs were awarded for daily quests. Pellitine was for dragon hunts.

    The delays have primarily been with the Dungeon DLC or Trial sets, and that's unfortunately because ZOS figures they make more money from the Crown Store that way.

    Greymoor will probably be the same way. One motif for dailies, one motif for Harrowstorms.

    This. Chapters thus far have had their motifs on launch day.

    This is literally just tier 5 of Nord armor that hasn’t been released yet but will likely come from the new skill line....

    to me it looks more refined than the old stuff so not sure... more like they took the old style and made some contemporary changed to have a distinction to the other nords (chest icon, belt, helmet looks more refined)

    I have also heard rumors about the high elf style being "updated", hopefully we will get more "racial" styles for the races, whether its tier 5 armor and weapons or a secondary style for all the races, it would be great either way.

    really? are only the dungeon motifs delayed? Maybe i remember it wrong but thought most motifs are introduced with a dlc delay

    Every time I start to feel like things are going to be okay, someone has to bring up the old Redguard light armor and I'm reminded of all that we've lost.

    I mean, this wasn't one of those "things are going to be okay" times, but the point stands.

    It's a reward from new Antiquities System, Ancestral Nord motif. You can see Ancestral High Elf motif in this thread, ot at this video.
    Seems they wanted to update base game motifs, but they can't just change them, because someone may like it as it is, so they find good desicion with new Antiquities System.

    Yup.

    I think this is that mount.

    We'll need to find all of the separate pieces/parts, via the Antiquities system, and assemble it.

    Reskinned motifs, reskinned mount - the rewards for this year's big new system are such a joke.

    i dunno, i mean there are also items and they can continuously add new rewards... and people were asking for updates to the base motifs for a long time... the motifs so far are actually the only reason im gonna look into it ^^

    Honestly i am not really interested in this system, at the same time i often play early in the morning when no one is around to play so this is something for that time...

    I completely understand. It's one of the reasons I've held back from doing Elsweyr on my original main character.

    I'm in the process of trying to settle on a main race / class / character and would definitely prefer an appropriate wardrobe before I get started. And if I choose Khajiit I'd like to do Elsweyr first with one of them.

    Finishing off most of the Elsweyr styles during the anniversary - which were released throughout the previous year - I now have a good wardrobe for my Khajiit, should I decide to swing that way.

    There are usually a couple with a new chapter. In Elsweyr I do think we got Anequina dropping right away from dailies and then, I don't think it was waiting as long as next patch, but Dragonguard starting dropping a month or two later from dragon dailies.

    So I'm expecting maybe we'll see the new Nord armor in dailies right away, and then the new vampiric armor a month or so later from a different daily.

    Dang, sorry to bring you down.

    So in an effort to cheer you up, let me show you a pic of the ugliest helm I've seen in a while:

    The dragon dailies and their Pellitine motif rewards were not available for weeks after the launch of Elsweyr: June 26, to be specific.
