I realize its an ashland I'm not blind nor ignorant, that said the armor still looks more suited for the desert.

I go heavy stalhrim with the unique hammer from one of the quests(Champion's Cudgel I think). This combo tends to give me the kill cam where I headbutt my enemies into the ground. Perfect for a Viking with a giant beard.

I like all of the DB armor except Stahlrim. I use the Dark Chitin armor on my main character, except the gloves, I dont like that piece. Even though I dont wear heavy armor, Nordic Carved armor looks amazing to me and I usually put that on my followers. Bonemold I havent used yet but as in Morrowind I absolutely love the look.

Now that we were mentioning DB armor.

How would the Nordic Carved chestplate look with ebony boots and gauntlets? I have a feeling it clips, but oh well.

Why "new"? They aren't just retextures.

I like the Nordic armor and weapons, but the rest i'll never use :hehe; Well, maybe Stahlrim.

What is Stahlrim anyway? It only appears around ancient corpses :eek: Surprising that there is no Lore article in the UESP for it.

Stahlrim imo is great for female Characters. I still prefer My Dragonplate aromr though, mostly because I don't want to forge a new set of Armor.

I use Carved Nordic except for the helm, and a Stalhrim sword. In my opinion, the armor in Dragonborn is the best looking in the entire game.

Morrowind memories for sure, I love the stalhrim armor and the ice pick, it makes me think like wow, they brought the armor to a game with better graphics, but hey morrowind will always be my most favorite game, because I love how the whole story goes. Stalhrim in morrowind was awesome I loved how the shield was for that armor nothing will ever replace that.

Nordic Carved is badass. My one heavy armor character will be wearing that soon. I really really wish they had made a Light Armor version similar to it for my other characters.

Stalhrim is pretty neat. I like the overall design, but I'm not too crazy with the Power Rangers powdered blue...but knowing that it's "ice" I can deal with it. I really don't like the helmet though.

Not too crazy about the Bonemold or Chitin. I like that I can make it, and I like seeing it on other NPCs like those guards. My characters will never wear it though.

On that note, I wish that I could eventually learn to craft everything in game. Not so that I could wear it, necessarily, but just so that I can...and for no other reason than that :D

These all look a lot better than some of the old armors, but I still use my Daedric. That being said, I don't mind using my Improved Bonemold or Stalhrim from time to time.

Nordic carved Bonemold and Stalhrim are my top 3 armour sets in the whole game. Chitin light and heavy both look crap.

I'm using a heavily enchanted "Legendary" set of Morag Tong armor and I really like it, But the armor set that I really love is Miraak's armor. The only problem with Miraak's armor is that it's already enchanted :wallbash: The armor set would be 100% more awesome if I could have enchanted it myself. I wish they would add a way to disenchant armor without destroying it and you could only do it with level 100 enchanting.....Something! Anything! But I still wear Miraak's set every now and again and It still looks amazing!

Nordic Carved looks appropriate for Skyrim, I love running around in it in the snowy regions. Favorite is Stahlrim, run around as the Warrior of the North, a warrior encased in impenetrable ice armor using a sword of similar material to freeze opponents with a single cut.
