I think they give Morrowind a uniqueness, so not for me, no. But fur or frost armor on the other hand, I would love to see. And some other armors totally unique to Skyrim, please.

I want more native armours as well. I think that we may be able to get these armours on the eastern border with all the Dunmer refuges.

All the armour from bloodmoon would be nice. as well as nordic trollbone etc.

I completely agree. Not to mention the poll is rather limited in that it's pretty much saying "Morrowind or Oblivion" (yeah, sure there's other, but it can be extremely vague). I want neither. I want Skyrim! I want there to be lots of local and regional armors unique to Skyrim, along with the staples. Morrowind and Oblivion are done, lets move forward.

um... thats what OTHER is for... duh.

Read the edit. Either way, "other" is extremely vague. It could mean practically anything, in which case, one would have to search up and down the replies to find exactly what others mean by "other," which is tedious and dilutes the value of what someone is trying to say.

My opinion still stands that I'm against trying to bring Morrowind back for the sake of nostalgia, along with Oblivion.

Like he said, most of the poll is basically saying "Morrowind or Oblivion" which people will just pick Morrowind because it's Morrowind. It should be like Skyrim, which if you watched the art video today, makes all the armor look pretty damn sweet. Sure as hell blows Oblivion and Morrowind both out of the water.

yeah well i could make up new armors that i want to see in skyrim, but that's sorta lame IMO. I was wondering if people want to see these old armors.

They do exist in the Elder Scrolls Universe. I dont think it's realistic that just because it was in Morrowind that it can't be in a new game.

There are stupid morrowind fan-boys, but i just want all the games to be a cohesive part of the world. I would of added some Daggerfall-only armor types, but i dont think there were any, but correct me if i'm wrong

Maybe some descendants of the Great Houses nobility keep it as a family heirloom? Who knows. Heck, there's even Nordic Trollbone helmet in Morrowind, so why not?

Personally I'm not much of a fan of Armun-An bonemold armor, tbh. It just looks clunky.


This. For me it's more because of this reason especially. If its nostalgia that I'm looking for, I'll just fired up my old Morrowind disc and play it again instead. Actually, a different take of the old armor sets that is completely fresh while not being jarringly out of place with the overall art direction in Skyrim, without completely disown the lore and cultural aspect behind the armor design (like the shape of the pauldrons of the Gah-Julan armor to accomodates the weather in the Redoran settlements) of course, would be pretty neat.

If we do not have more than the nice, packaged sets from Oblivion I will poop myself in protest.

By the way, was the armor shown on the concept art with the badass looking old guy giving the finger were meant to be an Ayleid armor? That looks pretty damn sweet, and that's what I'm talking about of reintroducing armors from the previous games.

perhaps they will have some native armor like frost troll or maybe dragonskin armor

Yes well, Ebony, Glass, and Dwarven should be Morrowind only armors as well, yet they were in Oblivion, so there goes that theory. Glass and Ebony are made from volcanic glass from Red Mountain, and Dwarven armor is...well it's Dwarven. You know, the Dwarves that lived in Morrowind.....

And Bonemold is my favorite armor type so I hope it's in Skyrim.

people seem to think there is no Import/Export industry in Tamriel...

just because we have invisible walls/ endless oceans doesn't mean nobody in the TES universe can travel in between the provinces with ease.

Ahahah, how could I forgot these bits of facts? Well, since it is about 160 years after the event that got Vvardenfell blown to smithereens, then I guess those armor types should be quite a rarity as well.

Ebony and Glass were both actively sold to the Imperials (there Trading Companies, to be precise) in Morrowind. I think it was even stated that the export of those materials is one of the main sources of income for the various Houses.
With Dwemer stuff, there was a lot of smuggling going on.
I agree though that they were a little bit too abundant in Oblivion.

As for Bonemold, Netch and Dreugh armor... those are really Morrowind specialties, since the other regions simply have good alternatives to them (there's just no market for Bonemold if there is Mithril from local mines available, things like that). However, well. Morrowind was full of Imperial stuff and also had its share of Nordic influence. Nordic weapons and at least a couple of armor pieces were in it. A bit of a mix is always nice.

Still, only vote goes to "new stuff". I keep wanting those bits and pieces from Morrowind back because I think that they'll turn the game into Morrowind, but they never do. I need to get rid of that habit, and currently I'm quite positive that Skyrim will have an awesome design, so now seems a good time.
(Doesn't mean I don't want cool stuff like spears, crossbows, halberds, transportation networks, realtime lockpicking, *falls into incomprehensible mumbling*)

bone mold was a favorite

hope we see it since the Dunmer are now living in skyrim

Glass and Ebony can be made from other sources around Tamriel. Red mountain isn't the only volcanic area in Tamriel. Dwarven armor can be shipped from around Tamriel seeing as their civilizations spanned from Hammerfell to Morrowind. The very fact that Morrowind was mostly isolated from the rest of the empire. They didn't like outlanders and didn't trade that often with them. Even if you say that Ebony and Glass can only come from Morrowind (which is not true) both of those armors are rare so it could just be adventurers that came from Morrowind found the armor and then sold it or they are marauders from Morrowind that you kill and you loot the armor from their bodies. Seeing as how that armor isn't heavily trafficked in the other provinces, open trade doesn't seem likely. Also as I've stated, the armor from 160 years prior will be worn and useless and there is no hope for new bonemold armor or Netch armor to be made seeing as how the creatures whose body parts were used to create the armor are now dead.



They live in Solstheim now, not Skyrim.

How about armor from Skyrim?

There were other armors in MW that should be in Skyrim also. Like Nordic ring mail, Nordic troll bone just to name a few. I think the main reason most of these armors weren't in oblivion was due to the removal of the medium armor skill, maybe if in TESV medium armor made a return then we would see more of these armor types like bonemold,dreugh etc.

Definitely. Speaking of which, I'd like to see a few other specialties from other adjacent provinces too. Orcish armor is a given by the looks of it. Now it would be particularly nice to see some unique High Rock and Hammerfell flavored ones. Definitely should be UNCOMMON.


(Meh, actually I think we're just feeding the Bethesda folks further DLC ideas here)

Keep what we consider "normal" designs like steel, elven, mithril etc. Drop the highly specific and weird Morrowind designs. Instead come up with something fresh for Skyrim that suits the climate and available raw materials to craft them from.

I would rather see three new types of armor specific to Skryim and it's history.

I was thinking the same thing as I read every post that tried to argue that these armors are specific to Morrowind. I like how my point on the front page was blatantly ignored. Bravo ignorance, bravo.
