Bare Chested

CodyFurlong · June 2016

I was thinking of returning to ESO and trying my hand at a male Orc character. However this particular Orc, from a story perspective, prefers to battle bare chested, and usually with light armor, wanting the speed and mobility he would get from it over heavy armor. But in the ESO game with the way the light armor is, I don't think it's stats, and abilities would work well for this type of character, being a duel wield damage type of build. While I'm willing to compromise, and give him heavy armor, I would like to know if there are any heavy armor sets in game, that would allow him to go bare chested, or any costumes I could wear over the armors to make him look like he's bare chested / using light armor?

two of the pirate costumes are bare-chested.

Barbaric and Primal Heavy looks a lot like Light Armor, or at least, it does not look like Heavy Armor. But, yes the Pirate Costumes would be a good thing to look into if you don't have those motifs. But, those Motifs are also really cheap now.

If you want Speed and Mobility, you really want Medium Armor, not Light. Light is for Casters, Medium is Stamina. Heavy is for, well, sometimes Tanking, if you build your character to use it. Some players will mix in some Heavy with their otherwise Light or Medium Armor sets for a little more protection, or looks.

On most sets,if you have at least four pieces,you'll get good perks from them.
Just leave off the chest piece.
Also,I made an alt that only killed bare handed and it was a lot of fun because I still got certain skills that were great aids to it all.

If you like the appearance of the darker pirate costume but aren't crazy about the headpiece, you can go to options and select "hide helmet" and *poof* it's gone.
