Adamantium from Morrowind. My favorite piece of equipment in any Elder Scrolls (Played) game so far, was that Adamantium Helmet. Not too flashy, but embellished enough to signify it's stature as high-quality apparel.
Reviewing some of the armors in Oblivion, I hate all but Mithril and Ebony excluding the helm in both cases (I usually used a cowl anyway), though I really like the Dwemer shield alone. Aside from the giant "Buttflap" on the Dwemer Cuirass in Morrowind, I thought that was way better, it actually looked Dwemer, and not Brass elvish.
So far, I really like the armor styles of Skyrim though. Everything from the Leather harness we see the PR Dovakhiin in, to the elaborate Elven armor in the "Ice Wraiths" Screenshot, and whatever armor (Orcish?) the Orc is wearing.
While graphically, I won't defend the relatively weaker power in Skyrim, I'm just falling in love with the art and aesthetics of the game, something I distinctly remember not happening as Oblivion screenshots were coming out. Of course, for the time Oblivion was more graphically impressive, and most of the screenshots focused on showing off the forests.
