Favourite Guard Uniform

Post » Tue Aug 30, 2011 5:09 am

The question is pretty straightforward, really. What is your favourite Cuirass in terms of looks? What do you like about it? What's your least favourite? What don't you like about that?

In case your mind needs a refresher, here are the uniforms. http://images.uesp.net/4/49/OB-npc-Anvil_Guard.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/b/b4/OB-npc-Bravil_Guard.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/d/d8/OB-npc-Bruma_Guard.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/0/0d/OB-npc-Cheydinhal_Guard.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/f/f9/OB-npc-Chorrol_Guard.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/e/e7/Guard.JPG, http://images.uesp.net/0/0b/OB-npc-Leyawiin_Guard.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/a/a7/OB-npc-Imperial_Guard.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/0/0b/OB_NPC_Imperial_Palace_Guard.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/f/f5/OB-npc-Skingrad_Guard.jpg.

For me, I like the Chorrol uniform the best, it seems much more respectable then all of the others. And I like the symbol of the Oak, too.

My least favourite would have to be the Legion armour. It just reminds me of a knight who thinks he's 'da man' and goes around saying that he is death and everyone should fear him.

For me it'd have to be either Chorrol for their Gondor-esque cuirass and shield or Bruma because of how startlingly bright their uniform is.

I voted Chorrol though. LotR :wub:

Edit: Forgot, my least favourite is Anvil's because it's so bland. It's just a mesh of brown and black. At least Cheydinhal has a bit of a celtic flair to it with it's knotwork.

Skingrad for favourite, I like the Steel Gauntlets, Greaves and Boots and that red moon just looks pretty cool. Least favourite would be Bravil, because its just boring.

I like Skingrad best of all, Anvil least.

I also like the way that the poorer towns from the south basically just have a plain uniform with a rather poorly stitched patch on the chest.

My favorite is definitely Kvatch. I love the black wolf, and it’s Kvatch.

Least favorite is the Imperial Palace. I think it looks a little silly.

Fave: Leyawiin. C'mon, it has a horse on it! :wub:

Least fave: Anvil. No prob, just perhaps slightly less attractive to me than the others.

Personally. I like the Imperial Legion set. The gray iron contrasts well with the Legion, while feeling rather oppressive, accentuating the whole "You're in our Land. You're do as you're told." aspect.

I don't like the Bravil uniform much. It's too bland, and just doesn't seem to catch my eye.

I voted Bruma, because its design reminds me a bit of the Holy Roman Empire, and because I usually vote Anvil or Chorrol (my 2nd and 3rd favourites) in most of the "Favourite X" topics.

I liked Kvatches uniform, Most boring? Probably Imperial Legion, because it looked better in MW and got upstaged by the palace uniform

I like Chorrol's the best, just because I think the great oak symbol looks cool. Least favorite would be Anvil, because it just seems pretty bland.
