I've been playing my mage a lot lately, almost up to 120 hours, and I am getting really tired of his... attire.
I finished Dawnguard before any other quest chain to get rid of the pesky vampire attacks, and I fell in love with the black version of the vampire armor. I have been using it ever since, with black gloves, and the dark mage hood.
However, I am very tired of my vampire armor, and I want something new. I spent like 5 hours yesterday just sitting at my homestead and in Solitude, trying desperately to find an outfit I liked for my mage, to no avail. I'm going to sound very picky, but bear with me. I really liked the mantled college robes paired with the mage hood. However, I really dislike the way the upper arms look when moving and how the arm is thicker by the elbow than it is up towards the shoulder. I have the Archmage robes, but I really dislike them, especially how the poncho part behaves when I move. I almost settled on the version of the college robes that Tolfdir and the other master college members wear, the darker version without a mantle, but, since I need a helm for enchanting, I found I couldnt really use that version because to me, using a mage hood with the dark mantleless version just looks akward.
Im not a big fan of big thick robes like the temple robes or the telvanni robes(not sure my nord would wear those anyway). The dunmer outfit actually looks really cool and I can work with that,.. but it feels wierd wearing it as a Nord. I dont know...
So anyway, what do you mages wear? I need help.
