Your Favorite Skyrim Gear

OK all - I want to hear about your favorite weapons and armor/clothing - what have you been rocking lately???

For me -

- Nightingale Hood
- Ebony Mail (from Boethiah Daedric Quest) - it has an amazing black smoke/shadow effect when you sneak or when enemies are close
- Nightingale Gloves
- Nightingale Boots

Weapons:
- Ebony Blade (Deadric weapon from Mephala Quest)
- Ebony arrows
- Ebony Bow
- Deadric Swords - dual wield each with fire AND shock damage

Foresworn Armor - Looking sexified while fighting baddies

& Tavern Clothes - Looking SUPER-sexified while mixing drinks. I like to show-off the goods.

OMG I was going to suggest the ancient nord armor for you, but I just looked at pics of female forsworn and you are right - HOT... please tell me you are playing as a nord....

I have played as a Nord, yes.

Not having oodles of time to work on leveling, I'm still under level 20, but as an Orc I made it a point to smith all of my own gear. I spent some time at an Orc stronghold, getting in touch with my roots, mining a pile of ore, and smithing an entire set of Orcish armor (epic) as well as some Orcish swords for dual-wielding (also epic).

I'm one of the rare people who don't really like the Daedric armor too much -- I call it Evil Porcupine Armor due to the excessive amount of spiky thingies on it. I'll be making some dragon armor when I get that far.

I'm not a big fan of the spikes, myself. Might work better on a male character, though.

I like to keep my male companions in Glass armor because they are easier to identify as "Not An Enemy" mid-battle.

I don't like the Daedric Armor eather. I don't like it because its uneven.

I use Ebony Armor. On PC, I use the white Ebony mod. Nothing looks better than Nightingale though.

I am Daedric porcupine of mass destruction by day and slip into my sneaky enchanted dragon light armour at night (2 x gauntlets, necklaces & rings: one set 40% bow + sneaking the other set 40% one hand and sneaking)

Just to let you know, there's an edit button.

I prefer Steel Plate since (IMO) it's the only higher-up armor that looks like it belongs in the world. Daedric is nice when facing down an Elder Dragon, but all other times, I go Steel Plate. As with weapons, I love dual-wielding Mace of Molag Boll and Dawnbreaker - they're both pretty, effective, and have a nice ying/yang feeling with em.

The Ancient Nord Armor it probably the most badass looking armor in the game, it's just a bit difficult to come across.

After that, I prefer Dragon armor. It's not as powerful as Deadric, but it looks cooler.

I like Daedric, but it looks a bit over-the-top.


As for weapons... If I go for a truly evil character, wearing Deadric armor, ya gotta use the Mace of Molag Baal. You totally look like freakin Sauron in that setup. SMASH ALL THE HOBBITSES!

My friend, consider this post liked, favorited, and +1'd.

I like all of these setups!

- Wolf armor is awesome - I would wear it with nordic steel bracers and an ancient nord helm - I didn't like the wolf helmet either...
- I use full ebony armor with the special Ebony Mail from the Boethiah daedric quest for my 'Sauron armor'... there is nothing like turning into a cloud of black smoke when your enemis approach. throw a flame cloak spell on top of that and you have a flaming cloud of black smoke charging in at the baddies - AWESOME... I will do that while dual wielding ebony war axes with fire+shock damage or using the sheild charge (perk) - fun fun fun... (and yes I am mentioning Ebony Mail AGAIN, to promote awareness - you must try this armor if you haven't already!!)
- @ Chysonallite - I agree with you, it feels weird walking around in crazy demon armor in the cities... i carry around a more socially acceptable outfit/armor for the townsfolk, and when it comes time to dive into a dungeon or complete an assassination, I transform into my secret baddass gear... only my brothers in arms get to see me in that stuff...
