Drip garbage in Elden Ring compared to DS3

[Grunt]

Just came back from Dark Souls 3 and feel like the armor in this game aesthetically is so garbage especially compared to some of the armor sets in DS3. Obviously its opinion based, but I wondered if I'm the only one that feels like this.

if they added sets from other ds games others would complain about that but yes seem many complaints about the quality of sets

[Artek [General]]

Didn't think that way. DS3 is suffering a lot from sets that look they've been in garbage bin for a while - rusty, washed out, with weird colors...
Default Knight Set, Alva's set, Drakeblood Set and Abyss Watchers were the MVPs and after that i think i never wore anything else.
I really wanted to do a Havel character, but never got around to it - having heavy armor is just of no use in that game and you had to be like SL200 to be able to fast-roll with that thing, because any defensive bonuses it provided were not worth a fat roll which just made you a free kill in PvP. So a "real" Havel would be a PvE only character instead, and even then for password only.
I really wanted to like Lothric Knight's set, but it just doesn't look as good on the player as it does on the real deal, not to mention that you couldn't even acquire the blue elite variant which looked way better.
Almost forgot Fallen Knight's set. It was pretty alright as well, although also suffers from "junkyard" syndrome and quickly became a symbol of scrubs.
Silver Knight's armor is not even accurate and lacks shoulder guards and looks off without it.

ER drip is a lot superior in that way - a lot of the sets seem to be in pristine condition like Carian Knight's. The big knights (the ones with greatshields and partizans/greatswords) can all be farmed for their respective sets which look great (grind is kinda cringe though).
Crucible knights look cool, and so do tree sentinels, rot knights... I find ER's choice of cosmetics just far superior - i felt like DS3 always lacked a proper honorable knight set with sole exception of Drakeblood which was my go-to set on almost every character, and even then it was hard to figure out the right body proportions to make it look good.

Ds2 has the best drip, change my mind.

Ok, get mod engine 2 > go to nexus mods > download ANY armour mod you want in the world, including full model replacements.
Problem solved.

this is a pretty common take ime. seems like most people just want cool looking, somewhat realistic dark fantasy themed armor sets, and so much of what ER offers is pretty over the top, whether it be sets that are comically edgy, sets with weird horns and ♥♥♥♥ stuck on them, or stuff that just looks downright silly. there are some ok looking sets, but the number of chest/leg pieces that actually look good and offer a usable amount of poise for pvp is very very small.

I like Death Knight and Rakshasa in terms of looks.
Hoslow, Alberich, Beast Champion minus the helmet, Carian Knight, Night's Cavalry are also nice to me.
Some more separate chest pieces and helmets too, chest pieces mainly for their capes, which is what you'd see most of the time during gameplay.
But yeah, that's a very low % i named just now of the total amount available.

Tell me about it. Judgement Set + Crown of the Ivory King (complimented by the red hair) is by far my favorite combination across all of the games.

dancer set

If being drippy is your concern, than may I suggest you wander the lands between butt naked, the way the greater will intended? You'll be as stylish as you are calarocally challanged.

Eh, DS1 has better fashion than both. Why they never implemented something like Ingward's set or crystalline sets is beyond me. They even ruined Xanthous set... DS3 didn't even have Gwyndolin's crown! DS1 is fashion king forever.

[mpcgannon]

DS1 was peak fashion

You know DS3's wardrobe is truly dire when half of the sets you listed were actually from DS2.

When it comes to fashion, DS2 > ER > DS1 > DS3.
DS3 did have a few hits like the Cathedral K***ht set and Leonhard's Garb, but there's just not a lot to work with.

[Senki]

DS3 has the worst fashion out of all the games lmao

has some very good ones like the dancer set but otherwise pretty meh, elden ring's armor is much better especially now after the dlc

I will say though the heaviest armors in elden ring look very meh which sucks because they have the best stats.

[Half-Vampire]

In term of fashion, Dark Souls 2 is the best of all the Soulsborne games. The variety is simply amazing, you can mix and match almost all kind of armour and clothing and it will always look great, even for Female Characters.

Then Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 3.
