There are no reactions for Elven, Fur, Glass and Daedric armor, masks of dragon priests in the game. This video didn't include the unique types of armor available after completing civil war quests.

Skyrim Special Edition without mods. I correct the color during a video editing for a more juicy picture :)

It’s very considerate of the Thieves Guild to have their own armor set so you can immediately tell that they’re thieves with one look.

I like to imagine the dragonborn after all the dragons he’s killed eventually armed every guard of whiterun with dragon armor and weapons.

You forgot being naked: Guards yells to you to put some clothes.

[deff]

Player: *wears Iron Armor
Guards: "Oho, nice armor!"

Player: *wears Daedric Armor
Guard: *"Imma pretend I didn't see that."*

[alexander]

"Orcish armor, ugly and strong like those who forged it" "Don't you lecture me with your $30 curiass!"

[Gaming-ou]

"take the armor, I can just go kill another dragon"
"what"

[khristian]

“Orcish armor. Ugly and Strong, like those who forged it.”
Orc: *stares in Orcish*

[mtwight]

Meanwhile, in Daedric Armor:

"You can sell all that junk in Bits and Pieces."

[mrcat]

Guard: “Fancy the leather armor, huh?”

Dragonborn: “Going clubbing tonight”

[Eviltto]

Guard: "By the gods! What I wouldn't do for a set of that."

Dragonborn: "Well, you could kill a bunch of dragons, learn to be a master smith, and then..."

Guard: "Y'know, turns out I kinda like my armor right now."

[badrat]

If you’re a Nord wearing Elven armor, a guard will call you a traitor

[nickster]

Yes call the Orcs ugly when an orc is right in front of you guard.

[onyx]

the first time i heard "is your armor made out of dragon balls?"

[tunasandwich]

Player : wears full set daedric armor
Guard : Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?

[sirreginaldfishingtonxvii]

"Ugly and strong, like those who forged it"

Every orc in a 15 mile radius: *bruh*

[GantPurpleHipp]

"-what i wouldn't do for a set of that!"
*Puts a set in guards inventory via pickpocket*
"Stop right there!"

[TheHuskyK]

I loves me the Nightingale armor. “It’s like forged midnight!” -Guard

[mr.chibiterasu]

Fun Fact: Daedric Armor actually makes you so damn menacing that it gives an unlisted 10% success chance to Intimidation Checks.

"You wear the garb of a true nord, I salute you"


Heartwarming.
