ddillon Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Skyrim has some interesting variations of the traditional mage robes: http://images.uesp.net/c/c4/SR-npc-Faralda.jpg http://images.uesp.net/1/11/SR-npc-Savos_Aren.jpg http://images.uesp.net/0/0e/SR-npc-J%27zargo.jpg http://images.uesp.net/4/4a/SR-npc-Gabriella.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaShard Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think part of the reason mages are in robes is due to balance. If a Mage is in plate mail why would you ever bother being a fighter? That just sounds too over powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiler Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 The elf concept art looks nice and gives me hope there'll be at least some kind of hybrid mage/warrior. Also perhaps a hood up/down function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HungryHungryOuroboros Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Wait, mages DON'T store all their magic inside giant floppy triangle hats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think part of the reason mages are in robes is due to balance. If a Mage is in plate mail why would you ever bother being a fighter? That just sounds too over powered. I also believe that's the main reason for it in many games/rpg systems. Give a class certain powerful, AoE/other spells, and you need to balance them out with some weakness. Lack of consistent armor/protection is one of the easiest ways to do that. That said, I personally don't care whether mages can wear giant plate armor with huge AC bonuses. That's going in towards the Fighter/Mage territory vs. just a mage, imo, which is sort of another debate. I just want to get away from the stereotyped wizard look. There are other types of clothing besides robes and tall hats. “Things are as they are.
