Best cool looking light armor

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 1:43 am

Outside of Dragon and Glass. Just curious to what is out there. Not too impressed with whats available in the smithing tree. Working towards the Nightingale armor right now. I got a bit bored going the heavy armor route with Daedric, so i wanted to switch it up with a dark elf character. Still going to be getting the daedric weapons though. Just love that one handed sword and bow.

Was just curious to other peoples thoughts on the subject.

Easily Nightingale IMO. I played a thief just to use it.

I just wear the fur armor that is full body (There are a few different versions with identical stats but different appearances) and just improve it whenever I can. I think it looks great, nice and warm too.

My fav, playing as a female nord, is the Forsworn, she looks like.. some kinda sixy barbarian princess or something. That is, when it's not glitching out and actually shows the gloves and boots :S

Personally, Elven armour looks really awesome. Especially on the High-Elf paladin character that I'm playing with at the moment. :)

I do not like the Nightingale armor, I don't like the cowl. I prefer the thieves armor to it. I like the Fur and the Leather armors.

I like the Nightingale armor set sans the helmet, personally. Black is my favorite color, and I generally gravitate towards the armor of that color if a game allows it. The Dark Brotherhood shrouded cowl looks great with the armor.

I would have to say Nightingale and Dark Brotherhood to be the best looking light armor in the game.

Nightingale is horrible. Far too futuristic looking / batman-esque. It looks like it belongs in a cyberpunk game more than a fantasy game.

For a stealth character, I prefer Shrouded. For an archer, leather. And for a warrior, dragonscale.

Nightingale but the stats svck

Glass with custom stats would be the coolest light thing , but its not very stealthy looking

Norn? Have you been playing Guild Wars?
I agree though, stormcloak officer is great just for the helm alone.

Lol, I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. And yes, I have gone back to playing GW and just unlocked Jora with a new character. :P

Whatever you do don't invest in the whole tree. It's a waste. I just stick with the dragon armor and did t realize I couldn't go from left to right. Ie. I had to start at bottom right to get daderic weapons for my light armor character. Such BS. I should have just stuck with fur till I got dragon armor. Now I'm level 57 and just got my daderic weapons.

Really? I can't go from Dragon under smithing to Deadric that way? That svcks! I have wasted three perks then. Darn it. Guess i'm starting my character over again lol
