Im betting that armor like Steel, Iron, Leather, ect. will be returning, but I cant see stuff like Daedric coming back.

I don't see any reason that Daedric armor won't come back.

As for new armor (that is what this thread is about, isn't it?) I want to see some baby seal fur armor. :biggrin:

The armor will probably have different variations now. There's also that new spider armor.

If Daedric armor doesn't come back I'm gonna be mad. But based off of that "mystery picture" we might get some type of spider armor.

Not sure about any new armor types, but my favorite heavy armor sets from Oblivion was steel and orcish armor, so I hope they return.

that one i think it could be a redesign of the chitin armor.

Wtf do you mean you can't "see" it.

Trend.

I'm positive daedric armor will come back. It's not like there aren't any more daedra.

I want to have an aesthetically pleasing and extremely expensive but practically useless set of golden armor that I can smith by melting down gold coins.

dont get me wrong, Daedric was one of my fav parts of the game, but with the whole rugged landscape of Skyrim, it doesnt seem to fit with the environment, which is one of the things that Bethesda said they would try to do.

as long as there are daedra, there is daedric armor. and in skyrim, daedra will most probably appear again.

That in no way means that they will not be re-envisioning Daedric armor to fit the current game. In fact, that's probably exactly what they'll do.

Daedric armor is Ebony armor with a bound soul of a daedra. It's been in every TES game and is the epitome of the highest level of equipment in the game. Taking it out would be beyond terrible.

Not to mention if you look at the elven armor, it sure as hell doesn't look rugged and fit with the environment, because as Bethesda's told us, there will be some rugged looking armor made in Skyrim and some nice looking armor that was clearly imported.

There will at least be a few pieces of rare Daedric armor.

Well if you want to say that, then you could say that orcish armor and elven armor had no place in Oblivion. Correct me if I'm wrong but Daedric armor is made from the souls of daedra so as long as we have daedra in the game, there is a very good chance we will have it.

Surely Trollbone will make a return.

since there are dragons, theres gotta be some dragon armour. aslo, prob some stuff like "nordish" or something

Preferably only one full set in the game, found piece by piece in all the hardest and most dangerous areas in the game.

Morrowind: One piece owned by the most dangerous crime lord on the island. Two pieces in the base of the lost Sixth House (the primary enemies of the game), one piece owned by a frost giant, etc.

Oblivion: A full set owned by every other bandit in the world.

I want to see armor and weapons made of Ivory, Crystal, Obsidian, Magic (fire, ice, lightning), and Dragon (skin and scale).
i think they all have potential!

Nordic armor would be great, along with some type of Dragonbone armor.

I think Trollbone armor would be awesome, too.

It would be great, but unfortunately, I doubt Bonemold will make a return. :violin: :swear:

not too sure about the Magic part, but the rest sounds pretty good. you got Obsidian out of fable, didnt you?

They said that the basic types of equipment will look like they were made in Skyrim, but the more extravagant equipment will look like it was imported from other places. They didn't say everything will look like it was made by a brutish Nord.

Anyway, I'm confident that these things will be returning: Daedric shrine quests, either daedra conjurer lairs or daedric ruins, daedra summon spells, and daedric equipment.

Also +1 for there only being 1 of each daedric armor piece. Although I do want a few different daedric helmets like morrowind had. And I really hope dremoras collapse into a pile of ash again, it's so annoying not being able to take armor from a dremora because it's "dremora armor" instead of "daedric armor."

I think most if not all of the armors from Oblivion will return, im sure Skyrim will introduce some cool unique armor sets as well. I would personally like to be able to create your own armor with materials gathered out in the wilderness and with a special armor-making skill/trait.

WHAT "MYSTERY PICTURE"?
LINK PLZ.

Daedric armor suits the environment of the planes of Oblivion just fine.

Well Ebony is basically the Elder Scrolls equivalent of Obsidian. In TES ebony is not a type of wood but rather a rare, heavy, strong, and dark form of volcanic glass. It's essentially a different type of the green volcanic glass. In Morrowind there were ebony (and glass) mines.

I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're thinking, but for ice armor I'm guessing there is going to be stahlrim equipment.
