I blame Peter Jackson!!!!

I kid.

But seriously, the guy who did the modelling for that Nord better be thanking his lucky stars that ZOS hasn't been slapped with a suit from New Line or whoever holds the rights to the Middle Earth movies Peter Jackson has made/is making. Jackson's take on Dwarven armor looks ALOT like what ZOS graphical artists came up with for that Nords gear

Anyone know if Yagrum Bagarn, the last living Dwemer, will make an appearance in ESO?
