On the concept art the Visor of the helmet is black as seen here:

However, in-game it's transparent; it's ugly, It does not look right at all. Seen here:

Small suggestion on-top of this thread: Change it so it's not transparent and make it completely black. Other than that, the style is awesome.

Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    Well doesnt matter that much, considering the monster sets which include helmet. So many dont even use the helmet/shoulders from the motif...

    Wish they would add a costume of the set!

    The concept art is not depicting that area as blacked out. It is shadowed. Those are slits to see out of, just like in the games version. Why would it not be transparent there? There's nothing there. Those are literally slots cut on the metal helm. Otherwise, how would you see?

    The screenshots look like you turned down the graphics, so it looks worse than actually is xD.

    But ye, must say I didnt like the helmets look anyway.

    I think you should be able to see through the visor, since those are the eye slots.

    The reason it looks weird is because in real life, if you were wearing that helmet, your face would be in shadows.

    So they need to shadow it so it doesn't look weird.
    Why be normal when you can be better?

    I don't know if blacking them out is the answer, but definitely shading them so it's not as harsh of a contrast would be a better look. Also, it reminds me of this:

    Yeah I gotta. My PC isn't the best since money's hard to come by for good stuff.

    I personally like it makes it realistic and I do wish ZoS art team would undo the eyes blacked out on Nords heavy helmet.

    I don't think it needs to be blacked out, but add a shadow behind it like some of the hoods do. That's dark the eyes without adding an unrealistic "black out" to it.

    I could get behind a shadow behind it.
