Daedric Armor - Disappointment
Beega
✭✭
Good evening players,
Most of you know the image of the current Daedric Armor and let's face it, it's just plain horrible. I was expecting more of a Skyrim Style or even like what we saw from the cinematic trailers. I for one would love to see a change in the Daedric style like seen in this image.
Comment below your feelings on the Daedric Style, hopefully we see some sort of improvement in future patches.

✭Hopefully some variation changes (or a complete tear down with daedric) will come with the dye changes. Ever the optimistPUG Life - the true test of your skill
18 characters, 17 max level, at least 1 Stam and 1 Mag of every class, 1 of every race and 1200+ CP

Wow ok yeah that looks way better than the in game armor! I agree with Curra above that it should look a lot better when the dyeing system comes in and people can make Daedric a nice red, black and evil combo like in Skyrim.Edited by jamie.goddenrwb17_ESO on June 17, 2014 6:23AMI can has typing!1 -

✭✭The armor looks perfectly fine. It's just the colors that are bad. The dark blue and purple on some of the ingots/temper quality, look perfect for Coldharbour. It's just that some of the colors(like the one posted above) are too bright/vibrant.
Dyes will remedy this issue. And yes, I mush prefer ESO Daedric armor. Skyrim is waaay over-the-top. ESO is truer to Morrowind & Oblivion's Daedric style.Edited by Lord_Hev on June 17, 2014 6:32AM5 -

✭Daedric Armor in ESO pales in comparison to that of Skyrim. Granted we can't compare them directly as ESO is literally not capable of the graphics of Skyrim. The model however is another story and I believe the OP is right in that the model created by ZoS devs is underwhelming.3 -
Zynster✭The armour in ESO is for me the single most disappointing part of the game. It's simply awful. All of it.4

The helmet looks like bug eyes. Where are the eyes supposed to be on that helmet? The thick white edging is horrible and the color should have been red and black. One would also think there would be no stitching showing for this level of armor.Edited by gladen5rwb17_ESO on June 17, 2014 6:45AM4 -

I really like the Orc chest piece on my male character. I do wonder what special properties female Orc breasts have (beyond the obvious...) as they seem quite keen to leave them exposed on their 'heavy' armor.Edited by Tadhg_Longhouse on June 17, 2014 7:47AMTadhg Longhouse

Adernath✭✭✭✭✭I find the current deadric armor style quite good.
By the way, you can see this armor type already by the sorcerers bound armor ability. Its funny that people think that deadric armor has to look different than what a sorcerer can already summon from oblivion.2 -

that's because we got used to skyrim style

Anvos✭✭✭Yeah I have to agree that is rather lame tastic for heavy daedric armor to look like that
Something at least skyrim or the previous games' daedric would be a lot better. Plus there is way too much leather showing for a metal armor.
Essentially the answer is scrap that whatever it is and make it look like the cinematic one.Edited by Anvos on June 17, 2014 8:31AM3 -
Blud✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, that Daedric armour in the OP's post is what I would like to see. What we have now...nah, I would rather just go with Imperial or something else.2 -
Anvos✭✭✭Just compared to ancient elf and it honestly seems like night and day, making daedric look like some half finished beta model that somebody forgot to send down the line.
Not to mention that is far to silvery of a gray to be deadric. Primary deadric colors are black and red, with other assorted dark tones mixed in as needed.Edited by Anvos on June 17, 2014 8:41AM2 -

I like the armour, apart from the helmet, the helmet is bad, not as bad as low level heavy armour Khajiit helmets but...
But I like the rest, sorry I do.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭Most of the armor styles are crap, especially daedric medium. It's not just the colour schemes that make it bad but the actually design they came up with. Daedric heavy and light don't look as bad though.Edited by Arsenic_Touch on June 17, 2014 11:50AM☠ Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured? ☠

isengrimb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭I don't much like helmets on my beasties most of the time anyway, and turn them off. Otherwise, yeah, it doesn't look THAT bad (and screw spikes, plz, WoW is going that way next expansion because they think spikes = "savage"); at least the shoulders aren't 10 feet wide.
It's .. the lines. Those white glarey lines that make me pause, though. They really need toning down; but as others have said, dyes might fix that. Perhaps they will have more than one shade of dark red to play with. A medium (not too bright) red might look a little better than the lady's armour in the other picture.

there's going to be a new style called imperial daedric in a future update which looks more like it did in skyrim . and also dwemer armor .

✭✭Daedric armor in this game is very underwhelming...
They should just call the 'Imperial' Daedric armor "Real Daedric", because thats all it really is. I like all the new armor models, and I hope they actually look like the pictures when they get put in the game.
Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood armor looks amazing, even the heavy stuff.2 -
Drawberrry✭✭✭I quite like the Daedric style. It's the only one of the rare motifs I REALLY like. The red/black variation looks lovely in my opinion.
With the dye stations coming soon and the addition of new motifs I am confident we'll all be able to find a style that we like

I really liked the Daedric light armor, not so much the Daedric heavy. The Imperial is looking great though.1 -

It's a motif? thought it was crafted only from using the crafting station in market district. maybe I'm wrong?4
