In the fantasy MMO The Elder Scrolls Online, new artwork of the Undaunted helmets has now been revealed. They are not only a feast for the eyes, but they are also intended to liven up the initially somewhat dull loot system.
On Twitter, Zenimax recently posted concept art of several new helmets (You can admire them in the featured image). The helmets look fantastic on their own. But they are not just a sight to behold, they also show a new way that The Elder Scrolls Online wants to take in item design.
A few weeks ago, Zenimax presented the plans behind these helmets. There will be 2-piece sets consisting of helmets and shoulders from the Undaunted, which will grant the wearer a representation of the abilities that a boss in a veteran dungeon also uses.
These are supposed to be passive abilities that proc (trigger randomly during player activities). But before anyone starts to have delusions of omnipotence: The abilities will remain “balanced”, no all-destroying dragon breath or anything like that. The helmets are expected to be unleashed in Update 5 on Tamriel.
At the launch of the game, one of the biggest criticisms of The Elder Scrolls Online was that the reward and loot system was a bit too unspectacular; with such ideas, they are probably trying to address that.
