What race/class combo do you guys think looks best when fully decked out in eq. For me personally I like the way my half-elf priest of helm looks in a full-plate or red dragon armor wielding the flail of ages (single weapon style). He look awesome like a real medievil knight...what do you guys think?

My vote for best-dressed: Jaheira in the Red Dragon armor. The detail in this game is just amazing.

Anyone very interested in the sartorial aspects of RPGs should play Daggerfall. There are clothing stores where you can spend hours selecting the latest fashions, from His Lordship's manly wrist-strengtheners and leather goods to Milady's dainty underthings...
The funny aspect of this is that dead opponents often drop clothing, and the clothing is always for your character's sex. So, if you have a female PC, and you kill let's say an orc, you may get a lovely yellow blouse and a lacy bra. This has led to jokes about "transvestite orcs."
For those of you who have not played Daggerfall--I am not making this up.

My whiteskinned, whitehaired half-elf fighter/thief in that shadowdragons armor with celestial fury and equalizer (dual wielding) and an ioun stone to avoid hideous helmets, is smooth (why is the 'evil' fashion always nicer?). Among the NPCs, Viconia is easiest to make stunning. The monk paperdoll, however, is really ugly. How could they?!

To be very short a this: they are the elite fighters of elves, capable of casting (sing) spells while in close combat. They wear the famous, very rare and valuable Elven Chain Mails you've heard about. They're absolutely lethal (just imagine a dual-wielding fighter who tosses flame arrows and fireballs all around).
My main-PC is Elf Fighter/mage simulating a blade singer kit (like Drakron I suppose). Since he indeed wears a E.C.M. at the end of the game it's kind of authentic.
The kit is descibed in The Book Of Elves (2nd ed. D&D). I dunno if there's a binary form of it on the net. AFAIK it's not to be found at TSR's/Wizards On The Toast(TM).

Abedecarian, I have played Daggerfall, though not to beat it (just to level up) a while ago, and I don't remember underclothes being included in the game. I do remember lots of different clothing, especially useless bracelets, necklaces, etc., but no bras, underwear, and the like. Are you absolutely sure?

I too am simulating the bladesinger kit.
bladesinger chain and dual wielding celestial fury and dakon's zerth blade (totaly made for f/m's)
as far as pen and paper goes for those interested, some of the restrictions of the kit are slower casting times, as well as the character MUST be an elf (no half-elves,or drow elves either.)and penalties on ALL other weapons besides the initial specialized weapon which the bladesinger dual weilds. I'm not even sure if you can be proficient in any other weapons. It's still the coolest class by far in my book. but then again I'm quite into the whole "elf thing".

I think Keldorn is quite snappy in his Firecam full plate. Orange is this years black in Faerun.
Although Haer'Dalis is the height of fashion is his chain mail leggings - always popular with the ladies.

Daggerfall......
hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.
I played a dark elf female that wears a chain mail witout any clothes or underclothes under it.
And yes, there was underclothes in the game you just remeber to look for it.
About bladesingers it´s a elven fighter / mage kit that gives a +1 to hit and +1 to damage but cannot use 2 hands weapons and give -1 to hit to All weapons besides the weapon of choise and removes +1 bonus to bows
Bladesingers go about defending the elven way, thy are the elven equilivant to paladins.

That's a bit kinky drakron. Wouldn't that chafe?
She'd get horrible marks left on her when hit with a mace/hammer or other blunt weapon.

I think the best look comes from
Male Human Fighter, Splint Mail, helm of infravision, and a normal longsword. Very chevalier, the spitting image of a Hussar. Oh yeah, and use Blue as your main color, and red as your secondary.

A Sorcer(human) give him a robe make the major color blue and the minor gold (the cape looks really neat)

Magusg - Oh, yes, I'm sure--I played a female character and the stores had many items of lingerie for sale--some of looking quite, um, spicy.
