AndreaColombo Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Inspired by an exchange with Crucis and Kaigen42 over here, I figured I'd open a thread to discuss the best-looking equipment in Pillars of Eternity. Sanguine Plate Looks amazing on human/elven female characters. Argwes Adra Nothing says "I'm stylish" like a plate whose name I can't spell. Sun Something Mail ... unless it's a chain mail whose name I can't even remember. Looks good on Edér too: Coat of Ill Payment Oh, yes... White Knight, FTW The Dunryd Demon helmet adds to the cool factor. Autumn Something Something Nothing says "I killed an innocent dragon-slayer!" like wearing this armor. The Funky Green Chain Mail All your friends will be green with envy. Vengiatta Rugia With a dandy hat for extra style. Aru-Brakr Not sure how to spell this either. Pallegina's Breastplate.

TrumpetWinsock Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 ...I absolutely love this specific set of Dyrwoodan Clothing: http://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Dyrwoodan_Clothing. Every playthrough I unhelpfully watch from the sidelines as Egdrang and Tily get murdered by Xaurips at Anslog's Compass just to get 2 sets of it without having to kill anyone myself!! I regret nothing!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Still can't see it. Googling around this seems to be an issue with Dropbox - the "share link" is not a true img. link, but rather some kind of framed page reference, even if the url you initially see in dropbox appears to be one... did you try adding ?raw=1 after the link you're trying to use? That's the only fairly recent solution I saw with a quick Google. ...at any rate, if you can't figure it out at dropbox, imgur is probably the easiest for occasionally sharing image files on forums. When you upload on imgur you can just r-click to View Image and get the direct link that way. 1 “Things are as they are.

AndreaColombo Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) ^ Which one is that? Feedback for Obsidian (in case they're reading this) Thanks for making a game in which women in armor don't appear half-naked with barely a stripe of metal on their breasts and one on their genitals. Hallelujah! What the expansion really needs to bring to the table now is a kick-ass black full plate, with spikes and gothic ornaments (or maybe one that looks like Sarevok's from BG1—always loved his black plate.) We have a white knight armor; now we need a black knight one PoE does helmet/headgear design better than most games, but most headgear in the game is the same silver/metal color. Nothing wrong with some realism but, as shown above, most endgame suits of armor in the game are colored (red, gold, green, even blue.) For the expansion we need some unique headgear that matches these armor in color and can be used in conjuction with them (right now I'd rather wear no headgear and give up on the bonuses than to wear something that doesn't match my armor's color/design.)

mazeltov Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Coat of Ill Payment looks good. The Plates are alright. My party wouldn't be caught Unconscious in some of those psychedelic armored t-shirts, though. I think Ixamitl Clothing looks cute on females, with those little red and white shoes. Since the original post mentions equipment in general, it would be interesting to hear of attractive weapons, capes/cloaks (are there any?) etc. Exoduss, on 14 Apr 2015 - 11:11 AM, said: also secret about hardmode with 6 man party is : its a faceroll most of the fights you will Auto Attack mobs while lighting your spliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukefx Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 It's simple leather armor with no enchantments (the 03 variant I believe, iirc the worn has also the same model) and it's random loot. Textures are a lot sharper on the male model tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Textures are a lot sharper on the male model tho. This is what I was thinking too. One of those simple leather armors actually looks pretty sharp. Much as I like many of the armors in the game in terms of looks, it'd be nice if there was at least one or two leather and/or padded armors that was less ostentatious and more suited to a seriously stealthy thieving rogue, rather than a flashy, stylish dandy of a rogue. Preferably in dark colors, with a good, dark enchanted (with a decently thematic effect) hood. Hopefully providing a look similar to the pic that you posted earlier.

Crucis Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm getting really annoyed with this random merchant that shows up at the strong hold. All I ever seem to get out of him is the Wormwull armor, perhaps those grossly overpriced gloves, or the nice morning star. I wish that Azzuro would just show up with his entire frigging stock and take up residence, for crying out loud. I picked up that Autumn Fire scale armor, and darned, it's nice looking! A nice scale armor that I came across that's quite interesting looking is the Scales of the Raven. Very scaly, very black. Whether it's nice looking is a matter of opinion, but one can't deny that it looks different from all the shiny armors out there. And a very nice, very impressive looking leather armor I purchased (IIRC) is Kerdhed Pames. It's a suit of Exceptional Leather Armor that comes with a +3 bonus to Resolve, which adds +3 to DEFL. I'm using this armor on my offensive Fighter PC in my current party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
