Nightingale vs. Thieves Guild

I've reverted to the original Thieves Guild armor image, since its of a higher quality than the Nightingale armor image. The original was replaced by Elliot with a lower-quality crop (likely due to a caching issue), so I uploaded it here instead, for use as an alternative image. Now that the Skyrim:Karliah article has a lot of "NPC story" images, two 1:1 shots are redundant and the alternate has been proposed for deletion. As such, I've replaced the current NPC image with the previous version of higher quality (which, arguably, might have been the best idea in the first place). Does anyone have any objections? —Legoless (talk) 19:04, 30 October 2012 (GMT)

Personally, I prefer the old version, because she looks so much better in it. The biggest objection I have to the current picture is that it makes her forehead look much too large, and is distractingly ugly, whereas in-game, it looks nothing like that. I don't mind the different armor or backdrop, but the lighting in the old version is much better, even if it is fake. • JA^T 19:52, 30 October 2012 (GMT)

I'm okay with either version, though I do think a new photo of the Nightingale armor would be awesome, especially since now she seems to be in TG armor all over her page. ⇠eshe^talk 19:56, 30 October 2012 (GMT)

I don't really care which armor she's wearing for her 1:1 photo, but the problem with the older image Jak linked is that she never appears that way in game at all. She is always hooded during the game. If the Nightingale armor is what's preferred for the 1:1 shot, keep in mind that the Nightingale armor set means you can't see her face (example). — ABCface^◥ 20:58, 30 October 2012 (GMT)

I had forgotten about the hood, ABC. In that case, I would have to oppose using the Nightingale image at all. —Legoless (talk) 21:21, 30 October 2012 (GMT)
