Best part is it doesn't look too "edgy". It is sleek and styled pretty well with a dark Paladin helmet, it is my favorite armor set next to Steel Plate.

Oblivions daedric blows Skyrims daedric away IMO, other ones though yeah, be careful who you call ugly in middle school p.S oblivion's divine crusader armor is the definition of badassery
Oblivion's Daedric Armor: Y'know those shoulder bits? How about, instead, we put big dinner plates there with little tidbits to stick out and catch your arm when you swing! That way, you'll always swing horizontally! You won't swing vertically, or even at a diagonal angle! Skyrim's Daedric Armor: ...Spikes. Spikes? Spikes. Lots of Spikes. I want to get caught on every doorway and cave entrance possible. I want to have spiders using my armor as a spot to live... When it comes down to it, All forms of Daedric armor have looked rather silly. Still, I'd rather have gigantic spikes and look like 'Original Character, Does Not Steal' than 'Mr. My Armor can serve as a Meal Tray'.
What's more crazy about this crazy camera movement is that it wasn't quite like it back in Morrowind. It worked like Skyrim in fact. So they screwed up. Like many other things they tried to do in Oblivion.
I hate when people say "underrated". What do you want them to have for making a typical predictable joke? A big cash reward? Stfu "underrated" how gay.
@@outlanderwraith Meh. If its awesome then its awesome. Who really cares if its edgy or not. Give me edgy armour any day before realistic or campy armour.

All the armour in oblivion look like theatre costumes. If you met that kind of warrior in person, I'd laugh. But if I saw someone looking more like the Skyrim guy, I'd probably shit myself
It's weird that all the armour in Skyrim is actually useless, leaves way too many exposed areas (see: Iron armour) and the armour in Oblivion is good, protects the whole body and has useful helmets.
Iron armor is the only heavy in Skyrim that has an exposed area like that, and it's because it is the cheap starting heavy set. Maybe regular steel armor too but it's not too much better, and even still they both have upgraded chest pieces that add sleeves. Meanwhile there is Steel Plate, Dwarven, Ebony, and Daedric with full body armor suits.
Devin O'dore Daedric armour is awful, too fantastical with overly heavy plates,no neck protection etc. Same with Dwarven Armour, it would be impossible to move in, and alongside it, there's no upper leg protection in Dwarven armour.
@@pyroblunt5365 I actually noticed this when I saw a thumbnail that included Jiub (from Morrowind....duh) and a Skyrim dark elf and it surprised me how well the they did in making the characters not look like bad renderings of an inflated foot.
I have been getting comments regarding why I compared steel armor to steel plate armor for 5 years now. The only reason why I compared the steel plate armor to oblivions steel armor is because oblivions steel armor is also technically a plate armor, its just not called that way. The so called steel armor in skyrim looked nothing like its oblivion counterpart, so I decided it would be a better idea to compare the 2 plate armors, guess not.
It's a bit too dark though. If you bother to read the books in the previous games, Skyrim's described as a pristine, quiet, frozen land blanketed with snow. It's supposedly so beautiful that people travelling there feel like they stepped into an entirely different world. Skyrim in Morrowind and Oblivion is a fantastical snowy wonderland. Skyrim in Skyrim is one gray boring tundra.
the graphics still are good to think only a couple of years after oblivion gaming graphics sky rocketed skip to present day and now we have unreal engine four
I like the darker changes in Skyrim's armor, because it's 200 years after the Oblivion Crisis and in a whole different region of Tamriel, which means a lot of armor is going to look different. But Shrowded Armor, Blades Armor, and Dwarven Armor looks almost exactly the same because the Dwarves and Blades are gone and the Dark Brotherhood is deeply rooted in tradition
I remember the first day I played skyrim thinking how much I missed the armor styles of oblivion..... Boy was I a stupid idiot However I still miss the unarmed skill and the ability to just wear pants
It's more a opinion based thought but I personally enjoy Oblivions armor more as it looks more functional and more cool in my opinion but I can see Skyrims appeal
There are some armors in skyrim that more open lmao. It's weird cuz they live in a cold environment but wear less, did they lack materials to cover their muscles or just wanted to flex it
Best looking armor across both games is Skyrim's Ebony armor (in my opinion). Such an imposing design. And the worst one has got to be Oblivion's Glass armor, it's like plastic.
Ebony became more badass, but I think Orcish had the best improvement. It looks better in design And lore-wise. I like Oblivion's Iron armor better because it looks like you're in a suit of armor and not just trying to protect your important bits.
Even though Oblivion is my favorite Elder Scrolls title, i admit that it has the weakest armor designs. Except for the Divine Crusader armor, that one is perfect.
People are confusing graphics with design. Majority of the Oblivion armors look stupid because their designs are bad. The glass armor for one is way too brightly colored. The awful potato people models don't help either
Oblivions better in its music and of course dialogue options and the reason iy was suppose to be so colorful was because it was a much warmer part of tamriel.
Totally agreed, as an artist myself even when playing Oblivion on release I thought there armor designs were lackluster... let alone later when compared to the Skyrim designs, which were ALL BETTER. Only descent one from Oblivion was the Daedra Armor.
the only thing i hated about shrouded armor in skyrim is how big the hoods were.. like damn i wanna look stealthy not like im an alien from mars with that balloon head
It’s an assassin’s armor. The whole point of covert action is to not be seen, so who cares if it looks ugly? Usefulness over vanity. I agree that it looks bad, but it’s understandable. Now heavy armors, like ebony or steel plate must inspire fear in your foes and rally your comrades to battle, hence they are made carefully and have a cool design.
@FuckinWeeb Yeah, yeah, you disagree EVERYTHING about Skyrim because you thinks "Oblivion good Skyrim Bad", aren't you? Playing old games really must make you special, huh?
***** I'm guessing it's a bunch of people bitching about which game is better. I love all elder scrolls games and get really annoyed when people argue over that stuff.
I really dont like higher tear armors in these kind of games. I mean most of them look great and epic but whenever i play an elder scrolls game i always find myself playing with lower tiers of armor because they look more realistic and down to earth in my opinion. It also makes me feel more connected to the world when i walk around like anyone else and not in super fancy high fantasy armor.
Bro, the dawnguard armor with the torturer hood is one of the best looking armor combinations in skyrim, you straight up look like a rogue and it fits the world so well
You want really charming quests and gameplay? Play Oblivion. You want beautiful landscapes and astounding graphics? Play Skyrim. All I want is them combined.
There's not really any "after that." Your made up story takes place in the world the whole time. When you're done, give your character a meaningful death.
@Una The BookWorm you don't really need a reason other than the fact that Black looks more Pleasing to the eye, it doesn't hurt like White does, and people are more accustomed on wearing black, even famous actors would wear black or blue suits on events, Blue and Black are the 2 universally liked clothing color especially Blue but Black are still more formal, I don't know if you just hate the color black and assumed everybody wears it for some formal reason but that isn't the case, the two mentioned colors are just a cut above the rest
It’s steel plate armor. There are multiple types of steel armor. This includes steel, scaled, steel plate, steel horned, steel Nordic, and steel imperial.
@Barbara Meza I would harbor a guess that you are referring to the realms of Oblivion that are seen in the Oblivion gates - i.e., Mehrunes Dagon's realm of Oblivion, which is apparently known as the "Dreadlands."
@@Luna-Starfrost I had forgotten to point out that when he compared the armors between the two games. He obviously haven't used appropriate sets of armor like the orcish armor in Oblivion, he is still wearing ebony boots and still wielding elven sword and elven shield.
Skyrim looks so dark and grey compared to Oblivion. Oh well I guess that's why we use ENBs, and I guess Bethesda was going for the whole dark medieval look.
People keep defending Oblivion like it was a great looking game for its time and honestly it wasn't. Compared to other big titles that came out around that time it looks and plays kind of crappy. The story was legit, but there is no denying how it looks and plays. If it wasn't for the modding community the game wouldn't be held in such high regard.
Vanilla Theis People keep saying how Oblivion wasn't good for its time as if their opinion is fact. There is nothing to deny here, by the way. Two people can look at the same painting differently, we all have our own opinions and view of this game. At the time, I thought Oblivion was marvelous: it had amazing graphics for its time, beautiful music, wonderful story, the gameplay was fun and new, and I had never played anything like it before.
I do love how the armors reflect the new areas they take place in as well as the passage of time with each game - it's what I love about ESO so much makes me look forward to ES6 even more :D
Bryn Shadow In my opinion, the Shrouded Armor should've looked more like the Nightingale armor (not texture wise, but just...overall shape). Wearing the shrouded armor in Skyrim emberrases me because it makes me feel like I'm wearing some kinky studded pajamas.
Another thing to take into mind a lot of people don’t think of, the armour is in a completely different region so the armour would obviously look different made by different “cultures”. I always preferred the morrowind armours because of detail and how it sat. I was disappointed in the daedric armor in oblivion and Skyrim,same as the glass armor (sure the daedric armor is beautiful, it’s just I liked the morrowind rendition so much more.). Otherwise the improvement between oblivion and skyrims is absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to see the new elder scrolls when it… mayeb comes out.
Dominic Whiteley Well, Oblivion had gorgeous, vibrant, fantastical, dreamy ethereal environments. Skyrim looked all gray, color-less, and bland in comparison.
I know its a more game-y thing. But I'd like to believe different areas of tamriel adopt different styles when making armor. And time periods probably matter too
Actualy, this is the canon explanation. Even such things as daedric armor are said to reflect minds and feats of local population. This also applies to Monsters. In book corpse preparation you can actualy read that IN CANON morrowind mudcrabs are giant, and skyrim mudcrabs are tiny.
I liked Oblivion's imperial heavy armor best tbh. Looked like something heavy cavalry would wear, which makes sense as you often ran into mounted patrols in Oblivion.
Funny thing is kOTn armour is now in Skyrim from the CK, and also a mod but regardless Oblivion doesnt have anything else unique. STILL LOVE Oblivion. Just love Skyrim #1 over anything, so happy we got Special edition
Steven Goodman I wouldn't say Skyrim was any more realistic than Oblivion. Skyrim was still very fantastical, but it was a more gritty Viking fantasy as opposed to Oblivion's Mixed fantasy.
Oblivion feels more nostalgic to me, and seeing its armour sets made me smile. Sure, most are wacky. But i like the medieval feel mixed with fantasy. Plus, Daedra armor still looks great after so long. And we can't forget the knight of the nine crusader-style armor set!
@@sirsteam181 For the most part, yeah - that's the exact same reason why I also just generally like Oblivion's armors more. There are a few Skyrim armors that look practical, too. The Steel Plate armor shown in this video looks fairly good, the Ebony armor looks great, and the fur armor looks pretty decent too. The Dawnguard brigandine-looking armors were definitely a welcome sight when I first saw them, and the Skyrim elven armor is a good look too. A lot of the issue with most Oblivion armors narrows down solely to the helmet pieces of most armor sets, particularly the Glass and Ebony helmets. The sheer brightness of the colors in Oblivion also affect the appearance of many assets negatively, as they lose a sense of reality when so starkly lit up. I imagine shader and lighting mods could look phenomenal on Oblivion.
I like the comparisons here. It's a nice way to show how not only how graphically TES has changed, but since each game takes place in a different country of Tamriel, they create and design their armor differently depending on the climate of the area and the necessities of the social-political situation.
manegirl93416 this is a good point but Skyrim is cold and it seems like oblivion armors have more coverage than skyrim like the leather armor in Skyrim is a damn skirt and a sleeveless shirt with some shoulder pads that always bothered me like I'm running around in the snow swimming in frigid waters during a snow storm but I'm half naked
Andrew smith that's why I wear fur armor til I skip the leather section I never liked how it look I mean it looks just dumb with out it being ice cold out
@@fallenknight3016 In almost every category, Souls hands down, especially the lore. But in term of exploration, Elder Scrolls of course, especially Morrowind.
Yeah, same. I'll only give it to the glass armor, that is better in Skyrim. Elven is better too, but not by much. Iron looks great in both games. Steel is definitely superior in Oblivion, as is everything else.
I believe you mean resolution. Skyrim is generally far more beautiful than Oblivion due to the mountains, and the open tundra... it allows for picture-perfect gameplay in some scenes. However, despite that, the resolution is... well, terrible in some places. Especially up close to those things. In that regard, Oblivion is better, because even up close things don't change much.
Agreed! Almost everywhere you go it's snowing and no sunshine. i was impressed by the armor designs but got tired of the same scenery, same dwarven/nordish dungeons and lack of diversity of enemy NPCs.

Exactly! Also i dont think it counts as “armor” because it looks like it was made out of fabric, and it looks dumb on males
@@donteverbuynoweedfromthega844 honestly worst looking armor in the game, it looks ridiculously bad I was disappointed
It’s an assassin’s armor. The whole point of covert action is to not be seen, so who cares if it looks ugly? Usefulness over vanity. I agree that it looks bad, but it’s understandable.
Now heavy armors, like ebony or steel plate must inspire fear in your foes and rally your comrades to battle, hence they are made carefully and have a cool design.

When i was a kid i thought that Oblivion is the best game ever, with best graphics.
Axelisxdxd it was for its time and that was what 2005?
because it was at the time
Axelisxdxd true it really was it was the best game when i was a kid i thought Farcry 1 was the best then i thought Farcry 2 was aaah the good days
***** lol

Is it just me or is Cyrodiil more prepared for cold weather than skyrim is...

Holy shit Dwarven armor in Skyrim is soooo much more intimidating lol
And heavy as fuuck
In oblivion it looks like a barrel...
Only intimidating when you played to much donkey kong 😅😅
@Sweet Roll still some armors look reeeaally weird, glass armor and dwemer armor for example..
@Sweet Roll glass armor is way too bright and dwarven Armor has a body part which looks like a barrel. That's kinda weird
@FuckinWeeb Yeah, yeah, you disagree EVERYTHING about Skyrim because you thinks "Oblivion good Skyrim Bad", aren't you? Playing old games really must make you special, huh?
Please don't read the comments, this is not a good place.
Welcome to youtube
I'll take your advice on that
***** I'm guessing it's a bunch of people bitching about which game is better. I love all elder scrolls games and get really annoyed when people argue over that stuff.
rightben370 It is full of morons and Skyrim/Oblivion fanboys.
Thanks for the warning. I caught a glimpse of it and it's pure cancer.
Everything in Oblivion looks so fucking dorky and I love it.
I really dont like higher tear armors in these kind of games. I mean most of them look great and epic but whenever i play an elder scrolls game i always find myself playing with lower tiers of armor because they look more realistic and down to earth in my opinion. It also makes me feel more connected to the world when i walk around like anyone else and not in super fancy high fantasy armor.
In Skyrim I usually rock leather or steel until I unlock smithing of dragon armour that's the only upgrade I get
for me its Steel armor for a warrior, guild armors for the rest.
Bro, the dawnguard armor with the torturer hood is one of the best looking armor combinations in skyrim, you straight up look like a rogue and it fits the world so well
@@michaelsowell3653 I rock ebony a lot in Skyrim, it’s just really good looking armor
This is the exact reason why i started modding my game
I wish there was chainmail in skyrim. It was one of my favourite light armor sets.
there is, use mods
Ok cool thanks.
Phelan Lawson if u dont have it already, get Immersive Armors, best armor mod out there
Phelan Lawson ebony chainmail is the only one in skyrim
Phelan Lawson What about Mithril as well?
You want really charming quests and gameplay? Play Oblivion.
You want beautiful landscapes and astounding graphics? Play Skyrim.
All I want is them combined.
Amazing quests and beautiful graphics ? Witcher 3
Wasn't really a fan of the Witcher games.
Howcome ? Not liking the story/setting or not a fan of more character heavy RPGs ?
Yeah, it wasn't really my cup of tea. I prefer Fallout/ES games due to how you can build your own adventure. That's probably the most fun thing to do.
There's not really any "after that." Your made up story takes place in the world the whole time. When you're done, give your character a meaningful death.
Oblivion- Crazy fun looking stuff, Noble-ish and hero-ish

@Una The BookWorm nobody wears dark clothes to impress people, people wear dark clothes because it's fookin amazing
@Una The BookWorm you don't really need a reason other than the fact that Black looks more Pleasing to the eye, it doesn't hurt like White does, and people are more accustomed on wearing black, even famous actors would wear black or blue suits on events, Blue and Black are the 2 universally liked clothing color especially Blue but Black are still more formal, I don't know if you just hate the color black and assumed everybody wears it for some formal reason but that isn't the case, the two mentioned colors are just a cut above the rest
@Una The BookWorm i actually like dark clothing :\

The steel armor in Skyrim looks really good.
It’s steel plate armor. There are multiple types of steel armor. This includes steel, scaled, steel plate, steel horned, steel Nordic, and steel imperial.
@Macoy Miller steel horned is just a helmet. You can make it at a forge with steel smithing.
@Macoy Miller steel Nordic is the same except it’s a pair of gauntlets instead of a helmet. Everything else is a full armor set.

@@Vencidious Don't forget the Shivering Isles, which is an entire ocean of normal water accompanied by islands.
@Barbara Meza
I would harbor a guess that you are referring to the realms of Oblivion that are seen in the Oblivion gates - i.e., Mehrunes Dagon's realm of Oblivion, which is apparently known as the "Dreadlands."
Even still, nothing beats the daedric and ordinator armor sets from Morrowind. Even the psuedo samurai Orcish armor holds up today.
I know I'm late but I think the orcish stuff looks more like mongolish. uwu
@@Luna-Starfrost I had forgotten to point out that when he compared the armors between the two games. He obviously haven't used appropriate sets of armor like the orcish armor in Oblivion, he is still wearing ebony boots and still wielding elven sword and elven shield.
Skyrim looks so dark and grey compared to Oblivion. Oh well I guess that's why we use ENBs, and I guess Bethesda was going for the whole dark medieval look.
I suppose it's because of the game placement. Skyrim is cold, harsh land on north, while Cyrodiil is a paradise-like heart of The Empire.
Falkreath and the reach is a lot more colorful than the snowy holds
Green Floyd funny how everybody was bashing the remastered addition for being to colorful

Crazy Ambasador All the more reason not to wear one :)
Nikolai Kravchenko That was my problem with heavy armor in Oblivion, it didn't look like it was actually protecting
The Steel armour to me is probably the only armour that looks safe to wear in a fight, although Mithril was nice.
Yeah, almost all of the armor in Oblivion has a fatal flaw. No neck protection.
The dwarven one made me chuckle
I love that you picked a location in Oblivion where your character’s leg completely clips through a boulder, just to drive home the point. Lol
I love how the character in oblivion's foot is just clipping through the rock casually.
The characters in oblivion look like they have no clue what the hell is going on lol
wow Skyrim makes oblivion look like RuneScape
Hades Torture but dragonhide in females is cute on RS. Whereas all Armour in Oblivion is... Idk.. More realistic?
Realistic? In a game full of dragons and vampires we are talking about realism?
That's because Oblivion is an old game that was released in freaking 2006?
People keep defending Oblivion like it was a great looking game for its time and honestly it wasn't. Compared to other big titles that came out around that time it looks and plays kind of crappy. The story was legit, but there is no denying how it looks and plays. If it wasn't for the modding community the game wouldn't be held in such high regard.
Vanilla Theis People keep saying how Oblivion wasn't good for its time as if their opinion is fact. There is nothing to deny here, by the way. Two people can look at the same painting differently, we all have our own opinions and view of this game.
At the time, I thought Oblivion was marvelous: it had amazing graphics for its time, beautiful music, wonderful story, the gameplay was fun and new, and I had never played anything like it before.
0:45 is steel plate armor, not steel armor.
@@domishere4313 Steel armor is short sleeved and has less armor rating...
Alpha Shogun i know that I’m not dumb , I’m just saying. You know what, my comment back fired, I have nothing to come down
Alpha Shogun ;-;
The comments on this comment were deleted because now it makes no sense
Same thing just different shapes
I do love how the armors reflect the new areas they take place in as well as the passage of time with each game - it's what I love about ESO so much makes me look forward to ES6 even more :D
The only Oblivion armor I like better is the shrouded armour. It looks more realistic and the Skyrim version looks too costume-y.
Bryn Shadow In my opinion, the Shrouded Armor should've looked more like the Nightingale armor (not texture wise, but just...overall shape). Wearing the shrouded armor in Skyrim emberrases me because it makes me feel like I'm wearing some kinky studded pajamas.
Hey at least it's kinky ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I preferred the shrouded and leather armor in oblivion
I get the kinky studded pajamas playing as a girl, but as a man I feel like a cheap Spider-Man or a cheap deadpool
True but can we at least agree that skyrim wins the helmet competition?
Skyrim armour is just way better
Jake S it surely is, especially the Ebony armor
Some of it but the rest oblivion did better
Santi Bahena for example?
ザエオン the daedric
Santi Bahena They are nearly same and in oblivion its very skinny
Blades chestplate in oblivion: This isnt a box I promise!
Another thing to take into mind a lot of people don’t think of, the armour is in a completely different region so the armour would obviously look different made by different “cultures”. I always preferred the morrowind armours because of detail and how it sat. I was disappointed in the daedric armor in oblivion and Skyrim,same as the glass armor (sure the daedric armor is beautiful, it’s just I liked the morrowind rendition so much more.). Otherwise the improvement between oblivion and skyrims is absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to see the new elder scrolls when it… mayeb comes out.
I've come to the conclusion that in oblivion, everyone looks like a potato... In Skyrim, no one knows how to wash themselves.
Dominic Whiteley Well, Oblivion had gorgeous, vibrant, fantastical, dreamy ethereal environments. Skyrim looked all gray, color-less, and bland in comparison.
That's not steel, that's steel plate
Both armor's still the same thing
@@sathere4786 No, Skyrim has 2 steel armors. Steel plate doesn't exist in Oblivion, so it shouldn't even be in this video.
@@Corthmic yet it doesn't change the fact that it's steel
@@sathere4786 Still a completely different armor set. If I make a steel mace can I compare it to a steel fork just because it's the same material?
@@Corthmic oh shut the fuck up lmao
I know its a more game-y thing. But I'd like to believe different areas of tamriel adopt different styles when making armor. And time periods probably matter too
Actualy, this is the canon explanation. Even such things as daedric armor are said to reflect minds and feats of local population. This also applies to Monsters. In book corpse preparation you can actualy read that IN CANON morrowind mudcrabs are giant, and skyrim mudcrabs are tiny.
I liked Oblivion's imperial heavy armor best tbh. Looked like something heavy cavalry would wear, which makes sense as you often ran into mounted patrols in Oblivion.
You are all saying that oblivion armor sucks, but wait till you see the knights of the nine armor and how badass it looks.
Funny thing is kOTn armour is now in Skyrim from the CK, and also a mod but regardless Oblivion doesnt have anything else unique. STILL LOVE Oblivion. Just love Skyrim #1 over anything, so happy we got Special edition
Chris D it has plenty unique stuff
Did you get my Christmas list yet?
Santa Claus that’s actually true, the pelinal armor is actually pretty cool and realistic.
Forget that. MADNESS ARMOR AND THE WIZARD ARMOR IN THE WORLD OF MADNESS IS WHERE ITS AT
oblivion looks like a fairy tale and skyrim like a darker more realistic approach to the fantasy genre.
Steven Goodman You honestly think oblivion is like a fairytale? That's laughable, obviously you haven't played more than 5 hours.
Steven Goodman I wouldn't say Skyrim was any more realistic than Oblivion. Skyrim was still very fantastical, but it was a more gritty Viking fantasy as opposed to Oblivion's Mixed fantasy.

Pick one plz
Lord Of Cinder what to pick?
I've always wanted to look like a GIANT highlighter! Thanks Oblivion.
Oblivion feels more nostalgic to me, and seeing its armour sets made me smile.
Sure, most are wacky. But i like the medieval feel mixed with fantasy. Plus, Daedra armor still looks great after so long. And we can't forget the knight of the nine crusader-style armor set!
I have the same feeling however as I history buff I can enjoy Oblivions armor more because it seems like it's more feasible
@@sirsteam181 For the most part, yeah - that's the exact same reason why I also just generally like Oblivion's armors more.
There are a few Skyrim armors that look practical, too. The Steel Plate armor shown in this video looks fairly good, the Ebony armor looks great, and the fur armor looks pretty decent too. The Dawnguard brigandine-looking armors were definitely a welcome sight when I first saw them, and the Skyrim elven armor is a good look too.
A lot of the issue with most Oblivion armors narrows down solely to the helmet pieces of most armor sets, particularly the Glass and Ebony helmets. The sheer brightness of the colors in Oblivion also affect the appearance of many assets negatively, as they lose a sense of reality when so starkly lit up. I imagine shader and lighting mods could look phenomenal on Oblivion.
stfu oblivion sucks
They left out my favorite set, the Mithril armor!
the ebony armor gave me flashbacks...

I like the comparisons here. It's a nice way to show how not only how graphically TES has changed, but since each game takes place in a different country of Tamriel, they create and design their armor differently depending on the climate of the area and the necessities of the social-political situation.
True. And of course, the modding community does this as well.
manegirl93416 this is a good point but Skyrim is cold and it seems like oblivion armors have more coverage than skyrim like the leather armor in Skyrim is a damn skirt and a sleeveless shirt with some shoulder pads that always bothered me like I'm running around in the snow swimming in frigid waters during a snow storm but I'm half naked

Yeah, same. I'll only give it to the glass armor, that is better in Skyrim. Elven is better too, but not by much. Iron looks great in both games. Steel is definitely superior in Oblivion, as is everything else.
This has just made me realise how beautiful Skyrim’s music is
Be careful who you call ugly in highschool
the armors are cooler in Skyrim, but the land is gorgeous in Oblivion
Implying Skyrim isn't beautiful?
multiHappyHacker I mean, sometimes in skyrim shit just looks like it's been meltrd
I believe you mean resolution. Skyrim is generally far more beautiful than Oblivion due to the mountains, and the open tundra... it allows for picture-perfect gameplay in some scenes. However, despite that, the resolution is... well, terrible in some places. Especially up close to those things. In that regard, Oblivion is better, because even up close things don't change much.
skyrim looks depressing
Agreed! Almost everywhere you go it's snowing and no sunshine.
i was impressed by the armor designs but got tired of the same scenery, same dwarven/nordish dungeons and lack of diversity of enemy NPCs.
If I could have Skyrim's design and Oblivion's color that would be perfect.

The shrouded armor was better looking in Oblivion in my opinion.
I agree
I think it doesn't look unique enough. It just looks like darker leather armour to me
but not unique enough

Dramatic beast43 It makes sense though, wearing a light dark armor when you are an assassin, not covered in red.
