What do you guys prefer? :violin:

Daedric looks immeasurably more cool and has a higher armor rating as well as a better background in the lore.

I dont know, Dragonbone seems better fitting for a Dragonborn and a dragon slayer.

Dragonbone would have been a lot sixier if the dragon skull was incorporated into the chest piece somehow

Dragonscale/plate should have a natural fire resistance if you ask me. Like a full set bonus of 20% or something

In a game that revolves around dragons, I'm disappointed that the dragon armor doesn't look cooler. Still a bit sore on that one. :sadvaultboy:

Whatever you prefer. They're almost equal armor-rating in the end, Daedric having a negligible boost. I prefer daedric, but wearing dragons is pretty cool too.

Dragonscale for light armor! (Wood elf - Bow+Dual daggers)

If you're thinking in terms of what would make sense in a game where you are Dragonborn and fighting dragons then yes, Dragonbone. If the OP means which looks cooler imo Daedric. Dragonscale is fine, but dragonbone...leaves alittle to be desired.

Ebony. The hidden armor cap is still child's play to reach and it looks better than the other two options. Running up the Heavy-Armor side of the smithing tree I can stop picking perks at Ebony.

I prefer daedric. I would like dragon armor better if the helmet fully concealed your face.

I don't know, they both look pretty bad-ass but Daedric is actualy better in armour rating but Dragonbone armour seems to suit Warrior characters and Daedric is something for the Arcane characters, I'm hoping to get my Spell-sword character in full Legendary Daedric armour but my Vanguard character is in full Legendary Ancient Nord Armour which seems to suit rugged theme better than Dragonbon armour.

Dragonscale looks better. Dragonplate looks like crap. Daedric is nice, but a bit anime for me.

For me, it's a matter of my character, since both will allow you to reach the maximum armour value with a relative ease. For my Dunmer, I prefer Daedric just because I think it fits the race a lot more than others (Also because of a certain Dark Elf who wears a full set, minus the helm). Dragonbone suits my Nord character a lot more though, just because he is the whole traditional honour-bound warrior.

Neither, blades armor ftw!

I have always been a huge fan of daedric armour in all the tes games. I do miss having to painstakingly collect each rare peice of the armour as you adventured though. Like finding the few and far between daedric helmets in morrowind

Yes, exactly. My character is a bad ass arnold look-a-like Nord. I would love a powerful armor only for Nords, like the Ancient Nord armor but more powerful.

Dragon bone, the only problem I have with it is the helm, I coulda used more bone in the helm.

the armor rating is only relavant if you didnt hit the armor cap already, IIRC you reach the cap with orchish armor ant 80 heavy armor skill with perks and legendary quality upgrade (wich you can get with 100 smithing or something lower than that with a smithing pot/enchants)

so only looks matter really, personally I love both, daedric makes me look morel ike a caster hybrid guy, while dragonbone gives me a more dragon slayer look.
its much easier to craft dragonbone than daedric tho.

Dragonplate doesn't look as good as it should, for sure. The pauldrons are the wrong shape and the helmet doesn't fit, colour- or shape-wise. As someone said above it'd be better if it was a bit lower and looked as though it was attached to the main piece, even if only by a bit of cloth (like Orc helmets).

The pauldrons really need changing though. They look really clumsy and tacky. They should be more the shape of the Glass ones; as it is they're too wide, too flat at the bottom and the concave curve makes the character's shoulders look smaller instead of bigger and more imposing. And the little spikes sticking out the end look flat out terrible.

Daedric would look brilliant if they got rid of the two long spikes on each pauldron as well. I like how it looks at the moment, but I think the spikes are just a little excessive.

At the moment, Ebony and Steel plate are my favourite sets. Honourable mentions to Dwarven and Orcish. I also really like the Iron (Banded and not) and Wolf sets too.

Dragonbone for OBVIOUS reasons:

1. Dragonbone (Legendary) is better than Deadric (Legendary) armour wise if you play without a shield..

2. Looks cooler and more fitting with the setting (in my opinion) the Helmet is bad-ass, the spine that runs up the back of it is epic. (And for people complaining about not enough bone and too much metal.. the metal parts are just melted down Dragonscales, hardened into a shape, so it still goes..)

I use Daedric armor because it has a higher armor rating. I think they both look cool but i am disappointed in the Daedric helmet, i feel the Daedric helmet should have looked how it looked in Oblivion. I think it looks much cooler. I think the dragon bone is cool but i thought it would have the best armor rating because...well....it's made out of dragon bone. So i choose whichever has the highest armor rating and that would be Daedric for me. Higher armor rating means less HP lost when in a battle with a tough enemy like an ancient dragon. I have the perk where heavy armor weighs nothing and doesn't slow you down when worn....so i don't wear light armor. It's a really great perk.

Both are good armors, but I use Daedric .

Spend 1 more perk and have both as an option

It's like people have said, armor rating is capped and that cap is relatively easy to reach. With a decent heavy armor skill and relevant perks, you can reach the cap in Dwarven armor if you tried. So since gear really isn't tiered and there is no real bonus in trying to get higher level armor, just wear what you think looks nice. I like the idea that you can basically wear any armor you like and have the same defense, but why the hell bother with high end stuff if you can work with low end stuff to the same result. Kind of stupid in my opinion. Yes yes, I know they supposedly made it that way so players could have a "choice" in what they wanted to wear, stupid way to implement that choice as far as I'm concerned...
