Nightingale armor and Dragonbane. The most bad-ass looking combination in any TES game thus far!
I LOVE Nightinggale aesthetically, but I don't like the enchants on it =|Chased said:Woah, woah, woah, no love for Nightengale?! It's the Skryim equalvelent of the Bat suit.
If there was a set of Nightinggale that you could enchant yourself, then aww yeah that'd be sweet.
Daedric is my favorite. I thought Oblivion's demon armor looked badass enough, but Skyrim's demon armor is sooooo fucking cool. The swords (especially that Claymore!) look especially awesome.
It is the one set of armor that set out to do something and actually got it bang on imo.
All the other sets have something wrong with them.
When Raj was younger, loved wearing Orcish armor. Amazing craftsmanship, and fits the body well for large weapons. But since was hit by spike wall, mauled by bear, got married and ate to many sweet rolls, i do not wear armor much. Prefer to be sneaky.
Wife Mjoll hates this though. Always complains about how Raj is coward. I learned quick to ignore it. This she hates even more, so is good i can hide well.
Normally these days, even when adventuring, i prefer wearing comfortable clothing. Robes from dark brotherhood are very loose, makes them comfortable to stab peop-..... i mean, find treasure in.

I love that. Why couldn't Bethesda put more simply designed armors like that in the game? I ran around most of the game wearing the Savior's Hide. At least its grotesqueness had a story behind it.Soviet Heavy said:Not my picture, but the Triss Merigold Armor Mod looks fantastic ingame
i love, LOVE, the orcish armor aesthetic, kind of oriental but not quite there, the weapons don't look the part though, they look far more barbaric then the armour which i think is kind of weird.
for light armour i like the thieves guild armor best and then nightingale, but i never really wear either because the enchants kind of suck, which is a shame i would have prefered it if you could have gotten them without enchants. (now with the creation kit that is no longer an issue though.)

Elven Weapons take the cake. Have you seen that battleaxe? Or hammer? I wish they'd taken cues from Oblivion's Elven Shortsword, I used that thing just for the aesthetics. Ebony is a close second in some areas, but I don't like the texture.
Armorwise? Nightingale. It's cool, and it looks more natural than the other armor sets - pretty much every helmet of every other armor set just ruins it for me (Dragonscale, Elven, etc.)

Steel Plate armour looks pretty cool. I usually (if I'm playing a warrior, of course) just go with whatever gives me the best protection though, not what looks good.
The hammer is admittedly pretty cool. It looks like the head of an avenging eagle.Smiley Face said:
My favourite armour in the game is actually the guards armour. Or Stormcloak, both are more or less the same. Reason being, it's a mixture of fur, scale and mail and is very appropriate for the culture of Skyrim. I was quite surprised at the lack of chainmail in the game to be honest and I've always been a fan of more simple armour than the elegant, upper-class stuff.
But out of the options here, Steel, simply for the Steel Plate suit I guess.

Glass, such a beautiful green crystalline look....I love the swords, generic shape, unique appearance. Not to mention that badass armour! Glass shield ftw.
But I am also partial to the ebony warhammer....
Edit: Spellbreaker! -swoon- Targe of the blooded! -coma- falmer! -series of heart attacks followed by death, last words:- ....stormcloak officer gauntlets....

Nightingale Armor is ridiculously cool. I downloaded a mod that gave a Heavy Armor variant of it in case you want your Warrior to look that badass.
Dwarven would be the armour I would wear if I was fighting a dragon. It's so thick and heavy the dragon would have to peel it off of me or use its breath attack for a good five minutes with no interruptions for me to feel it.
As for in an actual sword fight, a light armour and weapon with a thick, hardy shield.
I still voted for Dwarven, though.

Ebony. The weapons look cool, and the armour is very reflective, which goes awesomely with a HD reflections mod I have.
Daedric would have been better had I used the two handed sword, or had the one handed sword looked more like the two handed one instead of a saw, but I didn't really like it. Second place would probably go to Glass, and Dwarven, Elven then steel after that.
