What are you wearing? What are you wielding?, The Skyrim Version Options

[Vital]

Because the Oblivion has gone well so far, here's one for those of us who travel north of the border. Here you can post all the arms and armour your skyrim characters make use of.


To start:

Ravos from Skyrim, despite being level 40, can usually be found wearing improved fur armor (the variant that cover the most flesh) enchanted to increase health, leather boots and bracers, the bracers are enchanted to increase one-handed damage, he wears a plain hood that he enchanted to increase bow damage, he has a necklace that also increases one-handed damage and a ring that increases stamina. He also has a suit of legendary glass armor for occasional use. He uses a legendary glass bow of frost damage and dual-wields two legendary glass swords, one does lightning and one does fire damage. He keeps two steel daggers of soul trapping handy aswell.

Oh noes! Now Buffy's trying to turn her head around to see her butt wearing those Skaal furs. I have no idea why she asked me 'Does this make my butt look big?' since she, naturally, won't believe my 'Of course not; you look lovely'.

Mustard, your Dwemer Terminator looks impressive!

And, SubRosa, you and PurseMom have helped Sophie and Lucia make excellent outfitting choices. The two outfits really suit them well.

Grits - Buffy was shopping at Radiant Raiment and found a tavern outfit that she quite likes. Its neckline is a bit low, but it actually fits well and best of all, Buffy likes the hemline on this one that is angled and around/above her knees. As Teresa and Tadrose will attest, elves can get away with short skirts pretty well. She also found a green robe at the same store that makes for a nice sleeping gown (instead of the monk robe she's currently using).

Buffy's pretty much welded to her custom mystic bow, but she changes outfits quite a bit. At the moment, she's discovered Savior's Hide with scaled boots and bracers. Someone told her that if a short elf wants to look leggy, all she has to do is raise her hemline. . . .

If she’d like a second opinion I know some folks who would gladly take a good look. Fair warning, at least one of them will say he can’t tell and can she turn around again, and maybe bend a little, and he’s still not sure so please give us another spin, and for comparison maybe one without the furs, and…

Renee, I think the Mourner’s Outfit works great for a vampire. It blends in the shadows and doesn't show any messy stains.


Abiene is not sure if she’s actually smaller in Skyrim or if she just feels that way due to the abundance of overgrown Nords, but she’s also a fan of an angled hem on her petite self. Abiene does not wear short skirts outside of the bedchamber or the Temple of Dibella, but she admires them on the wood elven lasses. Lil has a new short tunic that she’s still accessorizing. She discovered that wearing it with thigh boots and no leggings works like some kind of Paralyze Nord spell. Oops.

But back to Abiene. Now that she has some perks in Mage Armor she feels confident enough to leave the house without a metal dress, so she’s settled on the Adept Restoration robes for her adventure outfit. Brown is her favorite color, so when she finds Expert robes for sale I’ll probably just make her a custom Adept robe with the Expert enchantment. She wears mage gloves (without the cuff so they don’t clip through the robe sleeves) and tall tan-colored boots, both with small enchantments to enhance her magery. I don’t recall exactly which ones they are. She’s not a dedicated enchanter so they’re not very strong.

Here she’s bundled up in her travel furs. (She’s still looking for a cloak in a slightly darker shade to better match the hood.) The hood has a mantle so sometimes she just wears it or her brown linen hooded mantle without a cloak when she gets somewhere warmer, depending on the state of her hair. She does not take off her hood when she gets back to town until she’s had a chance to freshen up indoors. Abiene wears an Amulet of Mara and a Circlet of Restoration when she’s working or adventuring since she uses mostly Restoration spells, and she wears an Amulet of Dibella the rest of the time. She has never bothered with the College hoods since she found a Restoration circlet. Oh, and she has a different brown fur cloak and hood for city wear. It’s beautiful and does not have any of the stains and off scents that tend to cling to the things she has worn in crypts and dungeons.

Abiene is not a flashy dresser, but she is very particular about how things look. In her opinion most of her footwear looks too thick. She never wears trousers, only leggings under her College robes. Her outfits are generally brown or have a lot of brown fur on them. She has different shoes or boots for most of her gowns, and she wants that tan cuffed pair of boots in a different color which means I’m finally going to have to learn how to do that. (She also wants a brighter gown to go with her red hair flowers. Yikes.) Abiene’s second favorite color is red. The red-trimmed robe is her nightgown. She absolutely loves Buffy’s mystic slippers! Warm and comfy with the benefit of showing off one’s slender feet.

Abiene carries no weapons except for a dagger which is only for politely dealing with really tough cuts of meat. She has the Wabbajack for emergencies but she’s never used it since her aim is dreadful and she’s worried that she’ll hit an ally. Abiene is not a killer, but she’s gotten very good at putting undead to rest. She and Jerric took on Potema with Abiene’s sabre cat familiar and Jerric’s frost atronach Ishckrihk backing them up. Abiene’s NPC class would be Mystic (Alteration, Conjuration, Illusion, Restoration, Sneak). It actually fits her perfectly.
