I'd be amazingly surprised if armor came in a set. Amazingly surprised.

Thanks you!

No, we won't meet again in november, you're so dead set on being right and ruling this out based on fleeting words. as if one piece armors never existed in Oblivion and where enchantable. Im saying don't rule out them using what works, not LOLZ SKYRIMS GONNA svck.

by the way this friend system is so confusing, if its going to notify me I have a request, atleast put a button so I can click accept then and their >_> instead of rolling around trying to find the accept button.

You do understand the fallout series has nothing to do with elder scrolls, right? thats just how armor has always been done in fallout.

In fairness you are yet to say what you believe works.

To someone unwilling or unable to read the between lines, what you are saying comes across as saying there will be one piece armours. I get the feeling that you don't necessarily mean that. People should have asked for clarification, but at the same time when they didn't you should have clarified what you meant. Not just repeat yourself and the phrase "what works".

As I've said "what works" doesn't mean there will be one piece armours and "not Fallout" doesn't mean there won't be.

So what works?

You'll be amazingly surprised to find one piece armor in Oblivion already. Remember the arena raiments? What's to stop them from doing the same to all armors in Skyrim? OK, that's a weak argument considering there's only one type but still there's a possibility.
Though I would much rather armor in pieces because I like to customize and so do many others plus that's the way it was always done in TES games.(never played anything from before MW though)

Just did a quick check and it seems that the Fallout series has been doing one-piece and two-piece armours since back when the series was still owned by Interplay. Bethesda may have just been continuing the tradition. Sort of on the line of thought: seeing as it worked well enough in the previous two games, why change it just because Bethesda would've split it up into five or more armour pieces?

Might mean nothing, but here's hoping that Bethesda keep that in mind when deciding on armour slots.

Although I still maintain that seeing as we won't know until Bethesda are ready to reveal the details there's no point in worrying.

Fallout may be part of the inspiration from Skyrim


So while this doesn't mean they are using a fallout system, the concept of Fallout being partly an influence on TES can be disturbing.
What if Todd, in his current favoritism of Fallout, mistake what belongs where? It may be unlikely, but im sure we will see some of it.
And it might not all be bad, such as level scaling, but some of it, like armor sets, can be.

well simply..its not falllout. the armor in fallout came in outfits. it was homemade crap it looks like that had no specific pauldrons or cuiraiss parts to it. and armor in fallout is really not that important. not like how it is in TES. so it will at least be like oblivion.

Other than calling them perks, fallout's special abilities are pretty run of the mill in RPGs and hardly unique to fallout. And Pete gave the reply about "what works in fallout" as an answer to the exact question you have. It's a roundabout way of confirming TES will not have one piece armor sets.

Nah, I think you're being a little bit too paranoid, there. It's more about the smaller things like how chests open up when you loot them and that you can press a hot-key to loot all instead of using your mouse to click the button. How junk like an empty cigarette box isn't at a value of 0 like forks and knives were in Oblivion. How they handle good-vs-evil specific mechanics like Karma, Fame/infamy, etc. Critical kills might've been something taken out of Fallout 3... with a bit more finesse and less body parts.

Stuff like that.

They did it that way in fallout 3 because armor has always been like that in the Fallout series.

While beth did change a lot of stuff in fallout 3 they also kept true to fallout 1 & 2 in quite a few areas.. Fallout is not elder scrolls with guns; or at least it's not supposed to be


If anything, from the changes being made to skyrim it sounds like the game is being made more like daggerfall overall in a lot of areas.

Bump :3

Possible proof of Morrowind level of customization?


Look at the assassin. IT looks like he's wearing a sleeveless leather chest piece with what seems to be a shirt under neath it. But that's not what I have as proof.

Look at the female elf sitting down on the bar stool in the second picture. Look at her left arm. It seems like a pauldron, but it could be attached to the chest piece, right? Well, look at her other arm. It looks different. It douesn't seem to be protruding as much. Once again, it could just be the chest piece. But now look at the first picture. The tattooed elf looks as i he's wearing the same shoulder piece, with the chest and looking a tad bit different. What's definitely different is the armor on the right shoulder. It's sticking out and looks more like the one on his left arm.

Even if that's not true, the shoulder pieces look very similar, and the female elf has clothing underneath it, showing at least a possibility to wear clothing under armor.

Take this as you will, just some stuff to think about."

Source please?

Fallout had 2 pieces of armor. A suit and a helmet.

The Fallout forum is over that way.

Skyrim is Elder Scrolls, not Fallout. If the topic is going to mutate into "Armor in Fallout" this will be closed, as that is off-topic for this forum.

Can you please fix the links my good man? It seems they are... Broken... And I REAAAALLY wanna see :3



Yikes, thank you sir, I did not mean to cause a Fallout discussion btw, I was only trying to get some approval about the armor system in Skyrim.

Should be fixed

Lol some of you are drowning in pessimism. Actually some of you are so deep you're beyond saving. Yikes...
