Worst looking gear I've ever seen in any game.

Looks like the one in LotRO

It could have been worse, you know. A pointy hat, for instance. I seem to recall somebody actually making those for Morrowind and Oblivion.

Reminiscient of Elminster? At least that's aesthetically correct for a mage..lol.

No, just for a fashion-challenged one.

I must admit, one thing I really would have liked them to add to the game is the option to turn the helmet animations off as most of the time the helmets don't really match the armour at all ... and look silly - unless they are part of an item set.

I agree. Perhaps a mod will run around that'll do just that. I wasn't a fan of the red iron helms myself.

There was a mod like this for the KotOR games which I always installed.

At least in DAO, they had characters take off the helms for dialogue and cutscenes.

think I will just wait for an item mod. I like helmets but those caps are great for beginner things but geeze they get old quick and certainly looks bad for higher level gears...

want hoods and crowns/circlets or something...
pope hats and graduation caps will do fine too XD

PS.
loving the default avatar; what game was it from?

Same thing for NWN2 if I recall correctly. Only main character had his helmet; cohorts had invisible helmets even while exploring.
I quite liked the headpieces in KotOR though...

Besides the helms, I think the mage robes should have more variety. They are relatively few and similar (except for the sexy outfit Morrigan sports).

I kinda wished they either: removed the helm animations altogether, make 'em actually 'match' for once Or.. make some Tiaras, Diadems, ect (especially for mages) that look just always work for me And some of 'em even way too big (i.e. Helm of Honeleth)

Ah yes, the ridiculous mage hat.

I disliked having my character wearing that hat, it totally goes against the character customization looks and the personality I created him to be.

Enchanter's Cowl and First Enchanter's Cowl are hoods, if it helps. MUCH better for mages.

How do I get mods?
