as far as i know its been 200 somethin odd years since the oblivion gates were closed forever, cant blame the people if they've never seen daedric armor before, let alone an actuall daedra. So all they see is someone in black plate mail

Its still rare, and Daedric armor was around before the Oblivion Crisis.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? I mean, to get deadric armor you need deadra hearts, which basically means you have killed deadra. So the deadra hunting cults should like you instead and regular people should look up to you.

daedra were also allowed to pass through the realm thanks to summons and gates, with them permantly closed and the spells long forgotten and banned people would not know

Even Saint and Seducer armor is technically daedric, but the one we can equip and call 'Daedric' is only from Dagon's Deadlands. So they don't all make the same kind of armor; and 'Daedric' armor should be pretty rare.

Most people have probably never seen in in their lives. They can't say much besides 'hey, nice armor'

You would think there would be a good list of 10 things you could think of to say to someone wearing a full set of Daedric. Like this,

In my best Arnold voice: "What's that? Daedric Armor? What are you doing, communing with the Daedra? Get out of here".

Or random old lady as you pass: "Ahh! Begone, Daedra worshipper!!"

Or a small child: "My mommy tells me only people who worship Daedra where Daedric armor..."

Or another Arnold: "Where'd you get that Daedric armor? Working for the Daedra?"

Something, anything would have worked. Daedric after all is quite rare (as it should be). I was just disappointed that no one commented on it. Was it just my game, or is there really no comments in the game for Daedric armor? Oh well. I hope they address this for the next TES game.

And by the way, yes I know this is a very minor nitpick. I absolutely love Skyrim and think it's great. But this is one small case where I expected a bit more.

You forge it with Daedra hearts, that would seem to imply you're killing Daedra, not being buddies with them. It may be in there somewhere, I noticed it was rare for my elven armor to get mentioned, but Scaled seems to come up constantly (leather did too if I remember right)

The aurorans' armor would have made a great quest reward for Meridia along with the shiny sword.

I'd like to hear something once in a while, for those rare armors.

Even some silly comment on what they see, like for daedric "Ooo, spooky." or "How is that armor glowing red like that? Enchant much?"

Dwarven could be like, "Who are you supposed to be a knight in shining armor?"

Exactly. Children and women should especially be scared. I think there should have been a script just for children and women regarding Daedric armor. And guards should be suspicious of people wearing Daedric. I'm also certain this won't go unnoticed for the next TES game though. It seems like they just didn't have any resources and/or time left to add this.

You do for Dragon armors; my characters tend to all wear Dragonscale, and get comments from guards such as "Is that Dragon Armor? Wish I had a set of that..."

I didn't mean to imply all women and children would be scared. Wasn't being sixist or anything. Some men should be scared too, for sure. In fact, I would have loved to hear Braith (is that her name? Little girl from Whiterun) say, "I'm not scared of you, even with your stupid Daedric armor on!". That would have been great.

By the way, that "Embra PD Thread Paint" from your link is awesome. Really great work!! I love it.

Daedric armour isnt evil.

but human perception doesnt work that way. if you see someone in a full set of spiky red armor that comes from demonic creatures and can only be made by one of their hearts, you are going to be suspicious and fearful of them. it doesnt matter if you are mother theresa... it looks evil so people will think you are evil, at least unconsciously making them uncomfortable around you.
