Dark Brotherhood Motif?

Uriel_Nocturne · July 2016

As the title, I know that the DB Motif is on the PTS right now, and I was wondering if anyone had pictures yet of what the armor/weapons look like at Light/Medium/Heavy?

I'm not on the PTS, so I was wondering how it looks. Good? Bad? Meh?

I was on ESO Fashion yesterday trying to get a glimpse of it, but they don't have anything up yet to my knowledge. Any pics anyone wants to post would be appreciated.

It is the exact same as the Sithis Touch weapons and armor you can get on Live right now. Most members of the dark brotherhood also wear it, so you can see it there.

Ah, ok.

Thank you.

they did the same thing with Thieve's Guild DLC...giving you Outlaw instead and only TG later

it's so they can make older content have a reason to keep going back to it...the grind for motifs

the silly thing is that motifs are fairly redundant anyway now that you will be able to dye your costumes

Meh, idk if "redundant" is the right word. I don't really care for any of the costumes, and would much rather have my armor showing than any of the costumes. To each their own though. If someone loves the costumes, then they should wear them. I just won't be one of those people.

Now if Zenimax were to introduce an eighth armor slot and give us cloaks... those I'd pay some money for.

That said; The Outlaw Motif is my current favorite, but I don't have any particular desire for the Thieves Guild Motif. Similarly, I got all creepy on some of the Brotherhood members, and I'm not particularly fond of the Dark Brotherhood Motif that they're wearing. Which is odd to me, I usually really enjoy the DB armors, and they're some of the best looking armors in the TES series IMO. But this ESO DB armor leaves much to be desired.

It just doesn't look "killer" to me. So, I think I'll be sticking with the Outlaw Motif, and I'll just sell any DB Motif pages I might come across.

So far to me thieves guold and outlaw look almost identical... and the dark brotherhood looks like an accident of stealth waiting to happen

Pretty much agreed.

There isn't really enough difference in the Outlaw and the Thieves Guild Motifs to warrant me crafting all new CP160 gear for my two Main characters, and the differences that there are, I end up liking the Outlaw Motif better.

The DB Motif that I see on NPC's just looks... non-Stealthy to me. Too much metal, and the aesthetics and angles of it don't appeal to the eye.

So, I'll be sticking with the Outlaw for the foreseeable future of my characters.
