I always kind of thought that the Daedric and Dragon armor look so ridiculous... They're too gaudy and flashy. Even with the armor rating, I never use them..
My favorite Heavy Armors will always be Steel Plate with Targe of the Blooded, and Ebony.
Light armor, Nightingale and Ancient Shrouded Armor are my favorites.
I'm not sure...Iron and Steel are my two favorites though...I love their look ^.^ armor like daedric and dragon is just too much...It almost seems like armor for little kids >>.<< if you understand my meaning, a lot like the daedric mace, again, for little kids xD "oh look at mah mace! I got lots of spikes and faces :D" it's just really...yeah ahaha xDDD I like the good ol' fashioned looks ^.^
My one problem with the Elder Scrolls is I find the better armours to always seem to fancy and impractical, I don't really want a bright green armour thanks. I've always preferred the lower leveled armours such as steel and iron, they just look more suitable to battle and feel more used. I don't like being a big strong warrior in immaculate armour
My epic, Nightingale... Since Shrouded Armor here sucks, Nightingale, is the most fitting to a 'dark' Assasin player...
I use the Scaled in "everyday" adventures -the horned one is awesome- since its the strongest one between the "Nord" looking light armors, and i hold high both Glass and Elven, though i still havent decide wich one ill use as 'epic'...
I also like fur, as from the starters, really fits my hunter. Leather is like a petty form of higher grade light armor..
I like ebony, orcish and plate steel, but they are not for my player, and the thieves guild is also really nice...
I find the Dragon armors "too much" maybe i change my mind in the future.
From miscellaneous, i get HORNY from the "bear" armor of the Stormcloak officers, its so fucking nice. Saviours Hide nice for 'huge' bodytypes, i like penitus occulatus, but the rest Imperial ones are too ''roman'', i find.
Forsworn is also nice, but ok,, you cant wear that thing and wonder around Skyrim looking like a complete Jackas... :P
Ancient Nordic Helmet really bad ass if you want horns, and daerdra if you want to be "the bad ass' ;)
