    They all look goofy . The price was not right . I feel more heroic in original crafted sets . The art department that made the original motifs did a fantastic job .

    I didn't like the Nord one to begin with.

    The Elven one made my characters look weird, especially with the hood, but I'm having a bit of regret not getting it now that we can equip hats. Only a bit though.

    I was excited for the Breton one but it's so disappointing...

    Really hope they release a bundle after fixing the Breton costume. Yes, I know, I'll keep dreaming.

    Pretty much this exactly, for $20 it needs to be awesome. The hero costumes all fall somewhere between "Meh" and "Ugly".

    They were all terribly done. If they were re-mastered and re-released I would consider buying them.

    I bought the Elf Hero one only, and frankly it is the only one that looks even remotely good on my characters (and on all ten of them to boot, regardless of race or body type!) so if there is something I don't regret is getting it. Nord and Breton Hero costumes look absolutely dreadful on my characters.

    Elf Hero looks absolutely fantastic dyed, too. I hate the hood, though, so I can't use the costume on my Altmer although it looks amazing on her because then I would have to hide the hood, and I can't because looking at her brown hair makes me angry (her hair is supposed to be black, but alas, only Altmer npcs are allowed to have black hair apparently).
    Edited by Abeille on July 21, 2016 5:08PM
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    None for me. Don't wear too many costumes... Maybe when dyes come in I'll think about it some more.

    But you have to admit though, the Breton one is pretty hilarious.

    i bought none - but if I would have known earlier this year, that costume dyes are coming, I would eventually have bought the elven hero one - so this is a lost opportunity for ZOS, to not have told us earlier, that this is in the making.

    As far as the Nord hero armor goes, I did not like it really - but I have the dragon warrior one, which was cheaper and looks a lot better IMO.

    Question: Why did I choose non of them?
    Answer: They are all terribly designed. It is embarrassing how bad they look.

    ...and also, I purchase a lot of the costumes. The hero ones, however, were honestly terrible.

    Overpriced and none of them look very good tbh. That being said I'm not sure any of them were going to translate that well to begin with from the cinematic trailer look to an in game costume.

    Cazzy sounds pretty female to me (basically short of Cassandra?), but with AlienSlof it's not that easy to say, what gender this might be.

    Yeah, my nick is genderless, could be either! I most often was mistaken for a gay man because I made a lot of sexy male mods! ;)

    ZOS need to get some decent clothing modellers in. I could convert one gender's gear to another with way better results.

    They're not exact replicas; no dyes at the time; too expensive; don't have a chr that matches the heros' races/genders.
