How Many of You....

....are like me and tend to get bored with wearing the same armor for an extended period of time? I dunno, after awhile I get tired of looking at the same armor, despite how great it might be. I guess the same thing goes for weapons.

I do, but until I find something that looks better, I'll stick with what I got.

Sometimes I'll even stick with lower leveled light armor (rarely use heavy) just because of the looks.

I was all excited about my new Stalhrim Light Armor, heheh...
Until I saw photos of myself looking like a little popsicle, standing next to the Ebony Warrior. :sad:
But yes; I know just what you mean. Agree!

Unfortunately, I made the Stalhrim Armor back when the Restoration Potion exploit was still in effect...
So it's difficult to give up on. :shrug:
I'm trying to find some Robes now, that look good with my Stalhrim gauntlets and boots.
And the Stalhrim shield looks just great... on the wall! :tongue:

I don't. When I find an armor that suits my character, I usually keep it for the rest of the game unless the story changes - for example, if I join a guild and decide to wear guild armor from now on. It depends on the guild too; as an assassin I want to blend in, so I don't wear that silly Dark Brotherhood costume. But after joining the Legion I wanted to look like a soldier, so I used Imperial armor until the war was over.

I change armour all the time. I sometimes use clothes when adventuring.

:laugh:

It took a bit longer because as a true defender of Skyrim, I couldn't refuse when a Jarl asked me to help him with a little bandit problem. Then I stumbled upon a conspiracy and got thrown into jail. I was so beat when I left that I had to take a break, but I ran into some Forsworn and well, you know how it goes...

I'm the same, I find something that suits my character and stick with it unless a certain situation calls for something more suitable.

I would usually rotate between Steel Plate, Nordic Carved and Dwarven. At times, I would go for Wolf Armor too.

I do like the wolf armor. That, along with ebony are probably the only two that I visually like.

What do you guys/girls do about weapons? Same thing?

That's what's happen when you play on third person view. I play on first person view and I'm rarely bored with what my characters wear. :P

Nord Hero, Nordic Carved or Dwarven for me. But I would also take the Mace of Molag Bal along.

I change armor every now and then, but not that often. Sometimes I go back to a previous one, because it suits the character better, and usually I have a long-term favorite armor.

I RP my clothing decisions based on the environment, battle, dungeon I plan on raiding. It changes almost always, but I when i'm just haning out, i'll revert back to my wanderer armor. Its a Ranger Hood (renamed mage hood + small boost to archery and alchemy), iron armor and skall boots & gloves. Pretty good looking nomad/ vagabond/ wilderness explorere combo IMHO.

This exactly.

I liked the novice college robes so much that I conjured up a few unenchanted sets after the fights started to become difficult just so I could stick to them. It wasn't until I started the Dragonborn questline that I changed into Stalhrim light armor or Imperial Light armor for the Legion. I didn't keep the legion armor afterwards though.

I don't get bored with my armors and weapons. When I come across something that captures my attention I just take my previous gear and store it in my house to wear again later. My current favorite is some fiendish looking Falmer heavy armor-

Is there any way of obtaining it on console without killing one of them?

I wear clothes when adventuring sometimes .... when I forget to put my armor back on when leaving the house/town. One time I accidently fought a bandit chief with my clothes on - I found out when I saw myself being gutted in his kill-cam. Oops crap forgot my armor! :blush:

I rarely switch armor. My main character who is a Nord warrior and uses light armor wore Fur for pretty much the whole game until I installed Dawnguard, then I fell in love with the dark brown Dawnguard outfit paired with the Brown colored Mage Hood, and he has been wearing that ever since.

My newer character, a Dunmer spellsword has 50 hours played already and he has worn the same outfit the entire time(yellow/brown dunmer outfit with brown mage hood).
