Non enchanted HOODED mages robe?

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 11:10 am

I'm just wondering, are their ANY Blue Mages Robes that are Hooded? Like the one Septimus has here http://media.ign.com/games/image/article/121/1212782/septimussignus1_1321553975.jpg
But with no enchants.

I bought one of the guy in Riverwood, just called 'blue robe', and was gutted that it was hooded. Ah well.

All kind of Mage Apparel was really shafted. Really, we got like 6 robes or something.

Yea I went to riverwood and he sold Blue Mages robes but they were enchanted. I seriously can not buy any Hooded robes with no enchants.

Seriously, disenchanting should allow you to take magic off an item and get the base item back. 90% of the regular unenchanted clothing looks horrible.

To the OP, hooded robes don't allow you to wear a head item btw. You are better off getting a robe and separate hood.

The robe and hood varieties is really lacking in Skyrim. Not enough color variation.

There are a number of robe designs featuring five or six different colors, two or three shoulder and hood configurations, and several different patterns. Problem is, those are all part of the "Novice/Apprentice/Adept/Expert/Master Robes of [School]" line. The only non-enchanted robes (as far as I know) are Black, Blue, Ragged, and College... those don't come with hoods, and there seems to be only one non-enchanted Mage Hood clothing item. The Hooded Monk Robes come pre-gimped, since you can't wear headgear with them.

What we need are non-enchanted versions of each of those robes, sans hoods, with non-enchanted versions of the hoods offered as separate clothing items. This is why I don't buy Bethesda games for consoles. Bethesda makes really annoying design decisions, and only modders can "fix" those decisions. There will also be tons of new robes added by modders.

All the cool hoods come ONLY pre-attached to the pre-enchanted "[School]" robes. It's [censored] dumb.

What I'd like to see are hooded robes that count as clothing only for the body, and allow you to wear a circlet. That makes a ton of sense, which makes me wonder how much time Bethesda actually spent thinking about this issue. Probably not much.

The Arch-Mage robes allow you to wear circlets and masks (but not full helmets), so the option is in the game. I haven't tried with any other hooded robes. Like you said, this is going to likely be a mod candidate.

i'm almost in the end of my assassin game play, i intend to make a pure mage (yes i know ppl say is problematic do that), mostrly with conjuration and destruction, so i just ask this, would be better to make a heavy armor pure mage and go to the heavy armor perk, since there's no bind in the move speed, or should i go to enchanted clothes and robes and dive deep in the alteration perk? So please whoever had made a pure magic give some advice on this plz.
