Honestly the biggest tragedy is that From has never been able to make any shorthand for your Customizable PC as effectively as the Élite Knight Set in Dark Souls 1.
Not only is it a good looking traditional knight armor set with good coloration and non obstructive detail, but it was also easy to get in the early game, generic enought that while Oscar wore it it wasn't his and had a good defense/weight ratio.
And it payed off as "Guy in the Elite Knight Set" became the shorthand for the player character for the community.

Demons Souls had the Fluted Set, but the good looking version was gender locked
Dark Souls 2 had both Farram and Alva, but Farram leaned to far to "Warrior" instead of knight and was locked past the halfway point and Alva was behind having to upgrade the merchant while also having to share cultural space with Farram.
Bloodborne also had the Hunters set that worked
Dark Souls 3 had the Fallen Knight Set, which would of been perfect but the text about the former owner shitting the pants and its association with scrubs instead of the everyman held it back.
And Elden Ring had the Raging Wolf set which while doing better than DS2&3 again is locked halfway into the game behind a quest.

Meanwhile Nighreign by having multiple unique characters that bypasses this issue, on top of Wylder which is the perfect "John Nightreign" anyway.
