Looks pretty cool to me

Pretty much everything in Oblivion is ugly.

Ah yes, the average bandit armor. I remember it well.

I used to think this shit looked so cool as a kid.
lmfao

its weird because the concept art doesnt look that bad

>bad art direction and textures/models.
I always wondered if the story about the guy who did oblivions faces is true

what story?

He was a faceblind schizophrenic who could only remember twisted faces he saw in his nightmares and despite being hired to model furniture and other interior objects he ended up being the face designer.

Rumor has it that the dude that did the faces was a personal friend of Todd from college who had minimal experience in 3d modeling and got the spot cause of nepotism

Bandits wear light armor, retard. Marauders wear heavy armor.

They hired an equal opportunity blind man who had only ever "seen" faces with his hand to code the persuasion minigame expressions via braille

isn't that everyone on the fucking team? besides a few i guess

the face designer in Oblivion was drugged by Michael Kirkbride in an act of revenge after Bethesda refused to use his original story concept where the player rapes Mehrunes Dagon to death

>ruins videogames forever
Fuck Bethesda for this, seriously fuck em

Both look like cringe, what are you getting at?

Daedric armor is just edge incarnate, they always look like shit

Seriously what the fuck happened with Oblivion, fucking Khajit looks like he ate a bee or something

Well it better be edgy as shit, it's made out of living daedra. What do you expect?

>the armor of the servants of Mehrunes THE RAZOR
>"Why is it covered in spikes?!1"
Now you'll say it's retarded for the deadlands to be covered in spikes and blades too.

Why would anyone play as a cat anyway? You can't kiss girls if you have a fucking snout

If it wasn't them someone else would have done it

Thankfully you can use whatever you want if you level smithing and enchanting because jesus christ most armor in skyrim is fucking dreadful

What triggers me the most is that in ESO dark elves can have normal eyes colors wtf

Morrowind, oblivion and skyrim are quite possibly the three ugliest games in existence. That's an achievement.

I'm not seeing the issue

Pretty much this, just had to wait for someone to do it and it wouldn't have taken long at all.

This. I don't care how good a game is, if it's ugly, I don't want to look at it. Bethesda games are neither good (mods don't count) or pretty. It's a wonder they sell as well as they do.

something that doesn't look like it was designed by a 15 year old?

Attached: h16k6bsqcfz01.jpg (959x482, 40.34K)

The face designer used to be their physics coder but he suffered a head injury on-site and they had to put him in a less taxing position as the face designer.

ESO looks like such a piece of shit

if you can suck your own dick you don't need girls

Why is that horse covered with bananas?

I don't think it looks bad, just incredibly generic

scratchy tongue though

EA were the first to do it with Ultimate Team in fifa

>just incredibly generic
Yeah, shit.

matches the barbed penis

It looks passable and therefore it's not an Elder Scrolls game. BRING ON THE UGGOS

ok, design demonic armor that doesn't look like an emo kid's wet dream then. ill wait

ESO looks like some wannabe WoW ripoff, what the fuck were they thinking?

>starting with morrowind, Khajit looks either depressed, confused or sad

Is ebony the most hipster armor in all of elderscrolls games? Looks kinda the best tho

Not that user, but I will ask something maybe easier: show some design that properly express the idea of "ebony armor with living constantly tortured demons in it" without it looking like "an emo kid's wet dream".

why is the standing pose so weird

For the technology of the time, that was cutting-edge impressive graphics. Observe the cool lightsaber sword, the intermingling of the colors on the armor. Absolutely Specular.

because TES is probably one of the worst franchises ever made, and the people working on the games are programmers who can't design or write for shit

>Mods don't count
mods literally count retard, no other game has as much a extensive mod community as bethesda games, nor is there any other game that serves as a sandbox to turn it into anything you want.

Now if you ask how it sells as much on consoles, no idea.

Not him, but I'm a fan of Slannesh and Noise Marine armor. Demonic shit but brightly colored.

>reduce or remove the shoulder spikes
>make horns on top symmetrical
>introduce a bit more colours besides red and black
>remove inward spikes from middle section, make it more like segmentated overlapping armor

90% of Elder Scrolls sales are on console. There's no mods on consoles. Something is obviously making people buy these shit games and it's not the mods.

Statements like this are funny because they're basically admissions that the games themselves have zero value and zero content, and are survived purely by their modability.
Sad.

>There's no mods on consoles
yes there is

Akavir when?

Show me your copies of Skyrim, user, or prepare your wallet. You did buy the Anniversary edition right?

why? you wanna play kenshi? play kenshi

I'm pretty sure there aren't, except for Bethesda's very limited creation club on Xbox One, and that's only for Skyrim Special Edition. Skyrim sold hundreds of millions on 360/PS3 with zero mods.

Imagine living on one of those small islands

Is this the OP trying to make the claim that the Oblivion Daedric armor looks bad or an user showing that all TES armor looks bad?

No, I just wanna establish rightful imperial rule upon it's "citizens"

Morrowind's version already has pretty much almost all these characteristics.
The biggest difference is the "black and red", but ebony is black, the daedra only add the red color.

>Skyrim sold hundreds of millions on 360/PS3
course it did, there's basically nothing else to play on them

delete this shit right now

the ones in akavirs interior or the ones in the ocean in between?

No, that's the animation lead responsible for no diagonal run animations.
