So, been playing Skyrim, and while there are a lot of good armors in the game, and a lot of really cool and well made armor mods, I haven't really found any that shout "This is Dragonborn! The hero of Skyrim!" (no pun intended) Dragonplate and dragonscale jsut look ugly. Daedric armor shouts the opposite of heroic. And I've looked over what seems to be hundreds of separate mods and even ones that have a ton thrown in together. But none have really given me that "yeah, this is the armor of a true hero!" feeling. Some armor mods fit certain factions better than that faction's own armors, but not for the overall hero.

Still a fun game, but things like that get a bit frustrating. Any recommendations?

I remember I had a nice glass eleven armor or something like that, for my ranger, with one of those iron masks (green) that majorly improves stuff.

I downloaded a very nostalgic game (at least for me it is) that cost me $2,62.
Dungeon Keeper II. Lol, I plan on playing the campaign and be done with it, but that is certainly worth the few bucks. Such an awesome game made in another millenium.

I have a mod that allows enchanting to be an armor/clothing enchantment. So being OP is not an issue. Right now I have light armor that has an armor value in the tens of thousands and same goes for weapons. And never really was a fan of glass armor. It looks okay, but not what I'm looking for. It's hard to describe.

I had a tonne of great armour sets in Oblivion...but, like you, I haven't seen anything in Skyrim that screams "Champion of Skyrim!"...

I guess fashion just isn't as big a deal in Skyrim as it is Cyrodiil...

Very nice. I agree, some of the best games are the ones that have those nostalgic feels that overcome the preference for newer more realistic graphics. Some games really are just that timeless!

I kinda like the dragonplate armor, though i still prefer daedric. I think my favorite as far as appearance goes would probably be dwarven, or maybe madness armor from oblivion. Unfortunately i play console and can't recommend any mods.

Some armor mods out there are really well made, and go into a lot of detail, but they just do not fit what I am looking for. 4 years out, and nothing that says "I am the Hero of Skyrim, Dovakhiin!" Most really made armors are more for assassin/rogue characters and are more for anti-hero kind of characters (at best). The best looking heavy armors, are once again, more like anti-hero stuff than anything.

I am disappoint with Skyrim Modders!

I'm waiting for Stellaris to come out in about a month or so. From Paradox, the makers of Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, Victoria, Crusader Kings, etc.

That looks awesome. I'll definitely have to pick it up.



Been enjoying a bit of EU4, CK2, Skyrim and KoToR2 here lately. I can't seem to just focus on one, so I hop back and forth between them like a ritalin-addled teenager.

If you are a pre-ordering type of person, you can get it discounted to about $30-32 USD: https://isthereanydeal.com/#/page:game/ ... =stellaris

I've been playing Rim World. I think it is the first Steam early access game I've bought, but it is very well fleshed out, and I've dumped more time into it than many other recent games I've picked up. It is like a colony management game that allows you to dial up or dial down the rng to your tastes.

Been getting back into Dragon Age Inquisition. A really good game so far, but it seems all but impossible to find good helmet schematics, or just good helmets in general. The open world-esque exploration is a big step up from the previous games, but it also makes it all too easy to stumble into an area where you are woefully under leveled for. Though, after a certain point, you can even go up against High Dragons and come out with all 4 members standing. After reviving them a few times and blowing through your health potions.

And like Skyrim, giants are more of a pain than dragons are. Mainly because they don't stand so still and have area of effect attacks.

Mrswdk is just sad since realizes not meeting her Dutch internet boyfriend in the airport was maybe her last chance. :(

That guy was such a stiff. Waiting in the airport to be picked up like that, expecting the woman to come to him.
