Remember to let us know your favourite armour in the comments! Let's see if it ends up in the list SKYRIM GLITCHES : th-cam.com/video/cEiXLYmOUfM/w-d-xo.html
It's a nice list and I don't disagree that these armors are great. I'm kind of sad that my favorites, Stahlrim and Amber, weren't on the list. I also like the Saint's and Seducer's armor but those don't look good on male characters. Real ninjas wear blue so not to stand out from the silhouette of the moon so I wish there was a navy blue version of the stealth armor but I love the fact they are black. Great video. I like where your head is at with your list. :)
Not sure if anyone said it but Dedric armor has a hidden enchantmen/mechanism. When you use the intimidate option it will have a higher chance of being successful and increase speech
I was going to mention it if no one else did. It not only looks cool, it serves as enemy radar. Even though it's not a set, you can get the matched set perk with it since patch 1.9 by using it with ebony armor pieces.
The best armor is the stuff you craft yourself. Max Blacksmithing and placing two enchants on each item with top-tier enchanting level will give you better armor bounuses than anything you find via exploration or quest-lines. This also gives you the ability to mix-match armor pieces appropriate to your character for role-play/immersion purposes.
yeah but like the thieves guild armor is unique and immersive to my usual builds (you can guess what it is)+thieves guild best build+thievs guild solos+drip
@@altabalder what? No shit you can upgrade armors but im pretty sure the og comment was saying stuff you craft yourself as in like steel, glass, daedric, dragonbone, etc.
@@Vinnare Armor rating wise it doesn't make that much of a difference But yea the enchantments are what take the upper hand Also, not all armor pieces can be upgraded; Miraak's mask for example, can't.
I really like the Nordic Carved Armor. Some things just look and feel 'right'. I eventually moved on to the Dragonbone armor, but it did make me sad to give it up.
Same :D Nordic Carved Armour then onto Dragonplate, enchanted to max out Health and Stamina Regeneration and Magic Resistance... wielding a shield and axe and running around jumping of things into the middle of combat :D
I remember I had a dawnguard war axe that killed approx 2394 enemies, killed miraak, Alduin and harkon, it has been externalised in my bedroom in windhelm
I kinda wish getting it was a little more climactic, it feels like you didn’t really have to work hard for it, it’s just kinda like, “oh hey Karliah, you got some homies who want to be Nighingaled? Aight then, sounds good”
I think that Daedric vs Nightingale would be interesting because Daedric is more a destruction type of armor and Nightingale is a sneaky type of armor.
I'm surprised Ebony Mail didn't make the list. Not many heavy armors tailor made for sneaking. The shadows that grow when crouched are a nice touch too
I wear General Tulliis’ armor and use the Imperial Dragon Shield. Looks nice together. General Tullius’ armor can be upgraded and enchanted, which appealed to me more so than Imperial Dragon, already enchanted. To compliment, Leather Scout Boots and Gauntlets. These soft leather accessories match perfectly and can be upgraded and enchanted as desired. The gloves allow the finger tips to grip the bow string, oddly that detail is required for my characters. Although they’re typically Stamina builds. I just like to run like the wind. 😊
I like the Royal Vampire Armor, its light and with some leather smithing it is easy to upgrade. You can find plenty of un-enchanted boots, gloves that you can upgrade.
At the end of the Boethiah's Calling quest your given a ebony set with a ebony mail chestplate that, when crouching or in combat, turns the whole set pitch black. None of the other pieces are enchanted so you can put anything you like, making it potentially the best heavy stealth armor possible
Well yeah, I personally think Nightengale is the best looking, except when I'm clothing my companions. Then I stick them in buffed up Forlorn...uhhh...just because.
I knew what you'd choose as a number one after hearing about numbers 8 and 7 I personally like Daedric armor the most from vanilla Skyrim (it's black and red draconic design is something else) and I really like the Dawnguard heavy armor from the DLCs. Can't say about AE stuff though haven't tried most of it yet
dawnguard armor is crap, thanks for letting everyone know to not listen to you :) not really, just teasing friend, my favorite is the vampire armor, if you get the vampire house you get a full set inside that you can enchanted, its nice
@@santioliva you mean royal vampire armor? Yeah I also really like this one, but the cut out in the chest on females always looks a bit off to me and I just really like closed Dawnguard helmet and sleeveless armor
I like to mix and match sets. Penitus Oculatus, Elven and Stalhrim for light. Ebony, Daedric and Wolf for heavy. The Jagged Crown and Imperial Shield go well anytime ^^
You can get full sets of bonemold and ebony armor (minus shields,) and a daedric helmet and scale gloves when you do the "A Dying Wish," quest from Falkreath and pick the "altar of power" option. They can be found in the arena after you kill the arena champion. (Anniversary Ed)
You dont need to glitch in Blackgaurd armor, just get the key to the blacksmiths house in Raven Rock and you can get it. You need to be in the thieves guild though
One that I like to do when starting out for the Thieves Guild is a set of sneaky Glass Armor mixed with Krosis' Dragon Priest mask. The color of the mask mixes well with Glass Armor's gold-ish highlights. But my favorite has to be either the Nightingale Armor or the Deathbrand Armor.
That's the armor I've been using in my latest playthrough and that mask fits it absolutely perfectly. The mask is light armor as well so you can get the all light armor pieces bonus with that combo.
Mine personally is the Ebony Spell Knight armor set, sometimes I'll use Wraithguard instead of the the spell knight gauntlets since I enjoy using Sunder
Ebony mail is really good. Looks good. Plus the poison effect and sneak are good perks. Hate the smoke though when sneaking, makes it harder to see when using archery
Left out the Civil War Champions armor sets and they should have absolutely been placed somewhere on this list. Both sets are phenomenal in both armor rating and enchantments. I personally prefer the Imperial Champion set, plus with them being upgraded to legendary, the armor rating on top of the enchantments practically make your character godlike. Not to mention the shields and weapons that come with them.
Nightingale armor is by far my favorite in the game. I get it every time I play the game and wear it as often as possible. Even if there were no bonuses I'd still use it.
Quick tip on the daedric armour you can get it at the very start in the college of winter hold basement through the vigil stone you will need void salts daedric hearts and a filled grand soul gem if you want daedric weapons you will also need a silver sword, (quick save when all ingredients are in the box and keep getting pieces till you get what you want, you need level 90 conjuration just spam soul trap on a dead mud crab
You don't even need to JOIN the Dark Brotherhood to get the Ancient Shrouded. Just go to Hag's End, use the Ritual Stone, then exit through the front door, and all the bodies you raised will follow you out including the Ancient assassin. Just wait an hour/Un-raise him and take the armor. Edit: Also there's a hidden buff to the Full set of Daedric armor (Not sure if it works with the Alternative Armors Daedric stuff) that makes Intimidation checks 10% easier, alluding to the fact that your armor is terrifying! XD
Thank you! My sneaky character evolved into being an ex-Thief post-Thieves Guild questline, so joining the Dark Brotherhood makes no sense for her (though would be tempting for her)
I recently acquired the ebony mail armor in Boethiah. When enemies are nearby, it has a cool black mist coming off it which is poisonous. So it's like a built-in alarm where enemies are nearby. Makes you look like a ninja all dressed in black 😂
you can get the ancient shrouded armour without even starting the dark brotherhood questline. To do this, you just need two wooden plates, platters, buckets, cauldrons or other wall glitching items, then against the wall of where the ancient assassin is, just hold the item up to it and walk/ run. You need at least two so you can get in and out without trapping yourself.
It's a shame that you can't opt to get armour sets without the enchantments. I would love to use Her Hand's armour set for heavy and Nightingale for light, as they are the coolest looking sets in their respective class without any doubt, but they already come with enchantments which are just so weak compared to what a player can craft themselves.
@@TrezenEN during the CC quest associated with the Armor (which can be started by visiting the temple in solstheim and reading the note in the first room on the left) you can get I think 2 full sets for free in the armoury along with the Indoril armour. Just play through the tribunal quest and you’ll get it close to the end after collecting 2 of the masks
I wear Daedric armour for my tank build, with double enchantments for health regeneration and magic resistance on jewellery - makes the character virtually invulnerable to magic whilst being able to shrug off most melee attacks. For my stealth mage build though, I don’t even wear armour: just robes with magicka perks on it. I guess the best armour is whatever suits your build best, but ultimately crafting and enchanting your own is far better than anything you pick up.
I really like the guild master armor, just feels really cool with the all black without looking super exquisite like nightengale or ebony but don't get me wrong they are cool just prefer the other. The Telvanni robes with dragonplate gauntlets and boots with the konahrik mask is really cool i find that on a female with the heart stone holder it looks really good.
For the guild master armor complete the thieves guild quest line, and do five misc jobs for Delvin in each hold. Then complete each special mission in each hold. For telvani robes complete neloth's quests and eventually he'll give you a mission to kill his old apprentice. She is wearing the robes and just take them off her corpse. (Note. The robes are unobtainable if you have the skyrim unnoficial patch) For konahrik find all dragon priest masks and take them to the bust room in labarinthian
right? I feel like everyone looks over the Guild Master Armour but I love it, it was the first set I saw on Delvin, Vex, etc and I was like yes I need this immediately
Ebony mail and mask of claviscus vile is pretty dope end game I’m uasally wearing jagged crown With dragonbone armour for matching set and you can wear the Athenriam crown with the jagged crown
Something worth mentioning about the Nordic Carved weapons is that the Advanced Armors are part of the light armor path. So while Nordic Carved may not be the best heavy armor it also isn't the worst and could be valuable to light armor players as you could still extra enhance it with smithing and give it to a heavy armor ally.
My favorite of all time is the thieves guild master armor. It just fits in so well with whatever type of character you are playing. It is light weight, made of leather and has pouches built into the design and is nearly strapped on and doesn't have a lot of low hanging pieces like robes do or over sized armor like the dardric armor does. You can play as a bandit, a thief, a hero , a pirate, a mercenary, archer. Doesn't matter. The outfit aesthetically fits all of them and just feels so cool to wear and makes you look like an important bad ass.
I love nightingale armor. I have my game modded but still choose it over all the other ones. The only armor you didn't mention- probably because it's ONLY the torso armor- is ebony mail. I use that sometimes because the poison enchantment is amazing.
Once you get a high smithing level, armor rating doesn't matter - damage reduction is capped at 80%, and you can get there by improving even light armor. You just need to reach 567 displayed armor rating with 4 pieces of armor, 542 if you add a shield. Each armor piece has a hidden 25% damage reduction in addition to it's displayed armor rating, that's why the displayed number needed is lower when you add the shield.
If you bother fortifying your smithing skill, it doesn't really matter what armor you wear, because you can reach the armor rating cap pretty easily. This means elven armor is arguably the best armor, because you can get the elven smithing perk quite early, and it's so light.
These armors are fine if you don't do enchanting. If you enchant, you can make much much better armor and tailor it to your playstyle. If you do smithing as well, then you can just concentrate on getting the armor you feel is the best looking because you're shooting for hitting the armor cap anyway. Once you hit the cap, all the armor is alike except for it's looks and enchantments. For vanilla armor I like regular Stahlrim armor. Especially for followers. Easier to see them during night battles. Don't have to start any quest for Stahlrim either. Can just buy the pieces from Glover Mallory.
So, visually, if you take the noridc carved armor and replace the helmet with the nightingale helmet, you look like death reincarnated. Its my favorite appearance that i wear every playthrough
Deadric also has an intimidate buff it'll increase your ability slightly to intimidate while wearing a full set. And I think the chain mail deadric should be number 1. It counts as both classes so it gets both skill tree set perks
I know its not enchanted but thats kinda why i love the Ancient Falmer Armour set. I get to put my best enchants on it, and it looks absolutely sick. Yknow....for when you dont wanna wear black. so seriously no love for Ancient Falmer? its just me?
I get everyone likes the Nightingale and Daedric armors for how they look, myself being included. But Azhidal's armor has some crazy enchantments on it that let you walk on water, can paralyze enemies who attack you, let your wards absorb magic, which when combined with certain other perks can totally nullify spellcaster enemies outright, and boost your enchanting. Also, Indoril's armor has the highest base armor rating in the game. So yeah, saying the Nightingale set is the best is obviously a biased remark when there are many other possible sets that do a better job of spicing up your gameplay while also keeping you protected.
Dwarven Armor is my favorite! Unique helmet, Visage of Mzund with increased Stamina and a steam shout! Also look closely at the helmets face, it changes expression if your character is male or female. The Armor itself looks amazing and goes well with many of the uniques in the game. Spellbreaker Shield Volundrung Warhammer. Black Bow of Fate Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow.
I shouldn't rag on you about sneeking about like a little rat, but, I'm a rush in with SHOCK and AWE !!! and destroy all before me kind of dude. This is an OUTSTANDING and AWESOME VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the nightingale armor it’s seriously my favorite set by far. You have to wear the full set to get the most benefit, also love the nightingale blade too
My favorite combination is amber armour with the dragon priest mask that lets you breathe under water, then I enchant the rest of the armour for 150% magic protection, 100% extra bow damage, 100% easier lock picking, and 100% fortify magicka and stamina
4:09 Technically you don’t even need to complete it, you just need to kill Gaius Maro(with bonus requirements), and you can get your reading from Olava, and get the armor
Throw the ebony mail armor on the Nightingale set. That way you level both light and heavy armor, the ebony mail does AOE damage to nearby players, and it looks sick paired together.
Nightingale armor also comes with standardized tiny blue lights for eyes...If you're an NPC, they will be the last thing you never see. (And if you join the Dark Brotherhood, you can get the best horse in the game, Shadowmere...and he's the best ride a Nightingale could find. Not to mention the matching bow and sword with the spread wing ornamentation. Nocturnal would be proud.
I switched out the Nightingale Armor set for the Remnant Agent Armor set, and I really prefer it. The Remnant Armor looks a bit cheesy considering it's bright purple with a sash, but i love the perks.
This is my list in no particular order: Ancient Falmer, Dawnguard Heavy, Dragonplate, The classic studded armor with iron gauntlets, boots, and helmet, Banded Iron, Ebony, and the Robes.
My favorite is that ebony armor that poisons nearby enemies. One of my favorite builds is the "Covid-Laced Leonidas" where you have it on, and have no weapon besides shield bashing. And you just crouch + block towards hoards of enemies like a spartan from "300" and bash them to death and give them covid with the ebony armor I mentioned.
I have the legendary edition on the PS3 and the only thing I hate about the blackguard armor is the fact that the gloves actually have a lower armor rating than the thieves' guild ones (unless they fixed that in newer versions) also who the hell sells the death brand stuff even if I don't use it (cause you can easily enchant better stuff) I still store it as part of my collection horde lol
I choose daedric because of 2 reasons: 1, when fully upgraded with the right enchantments and a maxed heavy armor skill, you are basically a walking tank. 2, hidden intimidation bonus and it looks cool

Great video. I like where your head is at with your list. :)
Steel plate

Dragon-Scale is probably my favorite design
But I do love the deathbrand set
Side note: how did I miss this video for over a year?
Not sure if anyone said it but Dedric armor has a hidden enchantmen/mechanism. When you use the intimidate option it will have a higher chance of being successful and increase speech
Mykol!
*daedric
Will it increase Speech faster too?
@@Leto85 no it's just an intimidation check bonus.
@@falinestixiaolong9691 it would, doing intimidations or bribes, etc, increase speech faster
I know that it's not really a whole set, but I really like the ebony mail. The darkness that it imbues is just so cool.
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THIS CORRECTLY. EVERYONE IS SUCH AN IDIOT.
I use Nightingale armor but swapped the chest for Ebony Mail, lookin like an assassin samurai
Ebony armour but with wolf boots and wolf gauntlets looks kind of sick on a male avatar.
I was going to mention it if no one else did. It not only looks cool, it serves as enemy radar. Even though it's not a set, you can get the matched set perk with it since patch 1.9 by using it with ebony armor pieces.
Made a set of Ebony for Mjoll the Lioness when she is traveling with me. It definitely looks bad ass on her.
I've been playing this game for like 8 years and I've never heard of the madness armor
It’s pretty decent
It’s Anniversary edition content for Skyrim
You can also get madness armor in elder scrolls 4 with the dlc

I gave Lydia a set of it and there is another set in the Amory of my home in Lake View. Definitely some of the best looking armor in the game IMO.

I still remember getting Nightingale Armour for the first time.
Same man
I kinda wish getting it was a little more climactic, it feels like you didn’t really have to work hard for it, it’s just kinda like, “oh hey Karliah, you got some homies who want to be Nighingaled? Aight then, sounds good”

I think that Daedric vs Nightingale would be interesting because Daedric is more a destruction type of armor and Nightingale is a sneaky type of armor.
Idk why but I’m obsessed with glass armor , it’s underrated and sooooo beautiful
couldn't agree more!
You tried Amber armor from the anniversary edition? If I remember right it's weapons have the best damage to weight ratio in the game.
@@GamingExploitshow is madness armor looking better than glass.....
indeed
I'm surprised Ebony Mail didn't make the list. Not many heavy armors tailor made for sneaking. The shadows that grow when crouched are a nice touch too
Ebony mail isn't an armour set
I said the same, dont forget the damage effects. This post is about armor sets. Wish we got a full mail set of ebony with different enchantments
Heck yeah, I pair it with the nightingale boots for sneaking.
Bro... that is my most favourite armour in all the game.
There is ebony armour though and the ebony mail being a daedric artifact fits in perfectly. I’d also recommend using the ebony blade.
I really appreciate you including armor ingredients as well as how much, Thanks!
I like the Imperial dragon armor with the shield of Ysgramor, it's pretty strong, fast to get and looks good imo

Ebony mail and mask of claviscus vile is pretty dope end game I’m uasally wearing jagged crown With dragonbone armour for matching set and you can wear the Athenriam crown with the jagged crown
Fantastic set up!
Spell knight armor goes hard
this video is so good guys thanks. none of my favorite armors are in it tho
Thanks a lot mate!
steel plate armor is the sexiest looking armor in the game can’t change my mind
You know you could just use 5 minutes to help glover mallory and you get a key to get blackguard armour if you get his recipe.
Haha I know, I just love glitching 😂
What recipe?
The blades armor plus any Dragon Priests mask is just first off pretty high armor rating ALSO it just looks so friggin cool..
Love Skyrim armour! Dragonscale for me!
💃🏼💃🏼
Something worth mentioning about the Nordic Carved weapons is that the Advanced Armors are part of the light armor path. So while Nordic Carved may not be the best heavy armor it also isn't the worst and could be valuable to light armor players as you could still extra enhance it with smithing and give it to a heavy armor ally.
Madness good for heavy plus cool design ☻️
I agree! Great design!
My favorite of all time is the thieves guild master armor. It just fits in so well with whatever type of character you are playing. It is light weight, made of leather and has pouches built into the design and is nearly strapped on and doesn't have a lot of low hanging pieces like robes do or over sized armor like the dardric armor does. You can play as a bandit, a thief, a hero , a pirate, a mercenary, archer. Doesn't matter. The outfit aesthetically fits all of them and just feels so cool to wear and makes you look like an important bad ass.
Dragon plate just makes you look heavy asf and dangerously calm
😂😂
I always loved the Wolf armor from the companions...I just hate the helmet..besides that I'm working on different armor.
Awesome!
You don't need the helmet to pass the 567 cap. I wear a enchanted circlet instead ... works just fine.
I love nightingale armor. I have my game modded but still choose it over all the other ones. The only armor you didn't mention- probably because it's ONLY the torso armor- is ebony mail. I use that sometimes because the poison enchantment is amazing.
Enchanted Spell Night Armor > Nightingale Armor ... but then again, every armor type has its uses.
Very true
Once you get a high smithing level, armor rating doesn't matter - damage reduction is capped at 80%, and you can get there by improving even light armor. You just need to reach 567 displayed armor rating with 4 pieces of armor, 542 if you add a shield. Each armor piece has a hidden 25% damage reduction in addition to it's displayed armor rating, that's why the displayed number needed is lower when you add the shield.
If you bother fortifying your smithing skill, it doesn't really matter what armor you wear, because you can reach the armor rating cap pretty easily. This means elven armor is arguably the best armor, because you can get the elven smithing perk quite early, and it's so light.
The thieves guild quest line has turned into a mandatory segment of all my playthroughs just for the Nightingale Armor.
Enchanted power armour for the win!
Haha nice!
I rock steel armor asap.
I wear Nordic Carved most of the game.
I wear dragon bone armor towards the endgame.
These armors are fine if you don't do enchanting. If you enchant, you can make much much better armor and tailor it to your playstyle.
If you do smithing as well, then you can just concentrate on getting the armor you feel is the best looking because you're shooting for hitting the armor cap anyway. Once you hit the cap, all the armor is alike except for it's looks and enchantments.
For vanilla armor I like regular Stahlrim armor. Especially for followers. Easier to see them during night battles. Don't have to start any quest for Stahlrim either. Can just buy the pieces from Glover Mallory.
So, visually, if you take the noridc carved armor and replace the helmet with the nightingale helmet, you look like death reincarnated. Its my favorite appearance that i wear every playthrough
I just love the nightingale armor, not the strongest but the helmet effect is 😣👌
Nice!
I'm loving the ebony spell knight armor. The two other variant's look awesome but there's just something about that black and gold.
Deadric also has an intimidate buff it'll increase your ability slightly to intimidate while wearing a full set. And I think the chain mail deadric should be number 1. It counts as both classes so it gets both skill tree set perks
I really like the armor you get from Vyrthur even though it's not a complete set.
Spell Knight armors > everything else
Haha nice
I go with the Vampire armor. Light, easily reaches the 567 cap, and doesn't scream "I'm somebody!" 😉
Ancient Falmer armor
Niiice
My favorite early-mid game armor is the leather scout set
Why is this a premier
More fun
I know its not enchanted but thats kinda why i love the Ancient Falmer Armour set. I get to put my best enchants on it, and it looks absolutely sick. Yknow....for when you dont wanna wear black. so seriously no love for Ancient Falmer? its just me?
nightingale, or the one i’m wearing i can’t remeber what’s it’s called i’ll update this comment when i remember
You found it yet?
That’s what I was wondering 😂
I guess this guy is still trying to remember
@@avocadooz
4 months later and he still hasn’t remembered 😢
High defense is what matters when choosing armor. It doesn't matter how it looks if you are dead
I get everyone likes the Nightingale and Daedric armors for how they look, myself being included. But Azhidal's armor has some crazy enchantments on it that let you walk on water, can paralyze enemies who attack you, let your wards absorb magic, which when combined with certain other perks can totally nullify spellcaster enemies outright, and boost your enchanting. Also, Indoril's armor has the highest base armor rating in the game. So yeah, saying the Nightingale set is the best is obviously a biased remark when there are many other possible sets that do a better job of spicing up your gameplay while also keeping you protected.
Steelplate is the one to go for me. It’s midrange into the stats, looks badass and you can enchante it the way you want
I love the way Ancient Nord Armor looks on my female Nords. As for my male characters I always put them in Dragon Bone or Daedric Armor.
Great choices!!
Best armor for atheistic is silver armor with the hood from the leather scout set.
Dwarven Armor is my favorite!
Unique helmet, Visage of Mzund with increased Stamina and a steam shout!
Also look closely at the helmets face, it changes expression if your character is male or female.
The Armor itself looks amazing and goes well with many of the uniques in the game.
Spellbreaker Shield
Volundrung Warhammer.
Black Bow of Fate
Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow.
Totally agree, i have the exact armor in every character that i have, nice and badass looking
That black armor in the clck bait was so cool it remeinds me alot of noob saibot from mortal kombat 3
I shouldn't rag on you about sneeking about like a little rat, but, I'm a rush in with SHOCK and AWE !!! and destroy all before me kind of dude. This is an OUTSTANDING and AWESOME VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha love this comment, thanks so much!
I love the nightingale armor it’s seriously my favorite set by far. You have to wear the full set to get the most benefit, also love the nightingale blade too
My favorite combination is amber armour with the dragon priest mask that lets you breathe under water, then I enchant the rest of the armour for 150% magic protection, 100% extra bow damage, 100% easier lock picking, and 100% fortify magicka and stamina

Technically you don’t even need to complete it, you just need to kill Gaius Maro(with bonus requirements), and you can get your reading from Olava, and get the armor
Throw the ebony mail armor on the Nightingale set. That way you level both light and heavy armor, the ebony mail does AOE damage to nearby players, and it looks sick paired together.
Edit- nearby enemies* not players
Nightingale armor also comes with standardized tiny blue lights for eyes...If you're an NPC, they will be the last thing you never see. (And if you join the Dark Brotherhood, you can get the best horse in the game, Shadowmere...and he's the best ride a Nightingale could find. Not to mention the matching bow and sword with the spread wing ornamentation. Nocturnal would be proud.
I switched out the Nightingale Armor set for the Remnant Agent Armor set, and I really prefer it. The Remnant Armor looks a bit cheesy considering it's bright purple with a sash, but i love the perks.
Awesome video ! I mostly use Aetherial crown , master robe , daedra mail gaunlets , and black college boots
This is my list in no particular order:
Ancient Falmer,
Dawnguard Heavy,
Dragonplate,
The classic studded armor with iron gauntlets, boots, and helmet,
Banded Iron,
Ebony,
and the Robes.
Love the Deathbrand armor, looks so clean
Fully agree!!
I know it may not seem like much but I love Thieves Guild Armor (the one Tonilia gives you) because I just like the design.
My favorite is glass armor. I thought it has always looked badass. It was my go to being a sneak.
It does look pretty badass!
My favorite is that ebony armor that poisons nearby enemies. One of my favorite builds is the "Covid-Laced Leonidas" where you have it on, and have no weapon besides shield bashing. And you just crouch + block towards hoards of enemies like a spartan from "300" and bash them to death and give them covid with the ebony armor I mentioned.
Bro I was collecting massive amounts of madness ore not knowing what it was.
Haha now you can make some badass armour!
I have the legendary edition on the PS3 and the only thing I hate about the blackguard armor is the fact that the gloves actually have a lower armor rating than the thieves' guild ones (unless they fixed that in newer versions) also who the hell sells the death brand stuff even if I don't use it (cause you can easily enchant better stuff) I still store it as part of my collection horde lol
I choose daedric because of 2 reasons: 1, when fully upgraded with the right enchantments and a maxed heavy armor skill, you are basically a walking tank. 2, hidden intimidation bonus and it looks cool
I would like to know your opinion on the Amber armor
I think it looks badass, makes you look like a superhero
