What about Foresworn armor?
I have Barbaric (I think) at the moment which looks kind of similar. Gives that Amazonian warrior type feel.

Commenting on the relative lack of grim and darkness in ESO

No, this isn't a grim and dark game. It's not cartoonish fantasy either, but it definitely isn't grim and dark.

There are folks who experienced that early "Daggers vs. Harpies" quest only on the level of lighthearted and comedic.

I was not one of them.

It dealt with some pretty mature themes - family and "clan" loyalty (both within the Daggers and between the brother and sister), entitlement on the part of rich/nobility (along with a fine lack of disregard for the consequences to nearby "peasants" - so add abuse of power in there). It raised some questions about the sentience of a race that some just see as "monsters"; and it brought up the idea of how much do you do to keep your "family" (however you define family) together.

I think that a lot of the quests in ESO work on many levels and while an immature (or uninterested) player probably won't miss much (or mind missing it), a more thoughtful player could enjoy sorting through some of these ideas.

On the armor-and-bikini front, I would support attractive armor that could "work" on several levels.

In the same way that a major quest-line that only functioned on the level, say, of the three stooges would not be a good fit here, neither would a chain mail (or other) bikini.

I though the original Redguard light armor was a good example of something that functioned on multiple levels. That pirate outfit gave me a nice view of the manly chest of some of the male characters; the female light armor was attractive - and both could be accepted as providing minor protection/coverage (socially as well as combat wise).

I miss them

Instead, I'm simply going to point out that the Elder Scrolls series has always been a wonderfully brilliant world of fantasy that introduces you to plenty of well done characters. This includes multiple strong, non-sexualized women that allows both male and female players to have the opportunity to play and meet various respectable, strong, and sometimes feared women. If they went as low as adding bikinis for fan service I would be severely disappointed.

I'm not going to call this way of thinking shallow, but you seriously can't find respect, strength, and something to be feared in a woman because of who she is? You base that on what she wears?

In real life? Yes.
In a game? No. Because I know there is some perverted developer (or regular catering to fan-service) that created them for the sole purpose of giving nerds something to fantasize over. It's hard to respect that.

As if there is a single person who is not a nerd (myself included) here posting. Embrace your nerdness kemosabe.

The ignorance behind this comment is amusing. Nocturnal Dress anyone, how about all that fur, or maybe Ancient Nordic, heck they even have a wench outfit in Skyrim.

Sweet baby Talos, for someone complaining about my ignorance, you clearly didn't read my previous post where I used those very same examples. The fur, ancient nordic, and foresworn armor all fit into Skyrim's art style. Random bikini does not fit into ESO's.

once again, Almexia and Vivec say Hi (Why do people always forget them?)

and then another person posted things pictures that directly prove your wrong, so not sure what you are talking about.

And Almalexia's outfit most certainly will end up on the crown store at some point.

- Assets they've already created for the character
- Surely will make some money

What I find amusing is that for men sexy or good looking, always comes with boobs, nudity or similar. How about having a sexy hair cut, or a nice hat?

These things don't turn you on?

Must admit though, women tend to also favor the muscle, nude chest "victim" if they hunt for "entertainment".

This is my idea of an attractive woman in armor:


I don't expect anyone to feel the same way. After all, my female characters include a lady Bosmer with barely any boobs (sort of like me irl) and a feathered lizard, so I'm not exactly your typical player in the market for bikinis.

That's okay. There should be available a range of bikini's for every size, race, .... and unfortunately gender. The point of asking for a bikini is to enable choice, so impossible to not suggest it for all.

MercyKilling

To everyone saying "it's not in the ESO spirit to have skimpy armor/outfits":

Google Morrowind Nexus, Oblivion Nexus, Skyrim Nexus...or replace the word "Nexus" with "mod".

Filter by most downloaded.
Most often the top of the list is some kind of graphic improvement followed closely(and sometimes even exceeded by) weapons and armor mods of the visual nature.
This proves to me it most CERTAINLY IS part of the lore/spirit/world.
I'm seriously baffled as to the why of the exclusion of cosmetic modding when it was touted that this is "an Elder Scrolls game first, then an MMO".

All those of us in favor of this are asking for is the CHOICE. Not to replace what's already there....just to be able to choose the style of what we wear.

Said it before, saying it again.

More choices in an MMO is NEVER a bad thing.

Oh, I agree that the first quest with the Daggers, despite the amusement factor of the bumbling brothers, dealt with mature themes (the second quest with them really didn't though). Lots of the quests in ESO deal with mature themes. Like that Pact Advocate one in Grahtwood, or the one in Bal Foyen when you have to decide whether you save the docks or the fort, or the one in Rivenspire where you have to decide if a Breton has atoned for his war crimes against orcs... Mature themes != grim and dark though. Mature themes means being presented with situations with shades of grey where you can understand the motivations of those involved, and it's not necessarily clear who's the good guy, who's the bad guy, or what the "right" course of action is. I think in general ESO does very well with this (while still throwing in enough mindless fun). If that's what passes for grim and dark these days, though, then it's a truly grim and dark world that we all live in.

Um, if that's you trying to show that bikinis have a place in ESO, then I must inform you that you and I have very different ideas of what a bikini is. Those (and anything else that's similar in terms of how revealing it is, while still fitting in with the aesthetic of one of the cultures of Tamriel) all fit in just fine as far as I'm concerned.

Yea let's do it cause it worked so well in WoW and most MMOJRPGs.

HAH! Yes, -JUST- like that!

Now, on the matter of skimpyness...

I dislike skimpy armor, and I love armor that looks like its made to protect. Thus I fully agree with the recent changes in orc and redgaurd styles, and don't miss the boob windows on my characters at all.

I do however also like roleplaying clothes - and I think the new "civilian clothing" we recently started finding on our burglary rounds offers a neat opportunity here... one that could be expanded with a great many designs, from beggars rags to noble threads, from priest habits to, uhm, "nightflower working clothes". Want skimpy? Wear that stuff, it will have the matching stats to the visuals, which makes it all right in my eyes.
Now the PTB only need to give us more of that stuff, and maybe make it more accessible too. Sold by tailors, crafted by clothiers, that sort of thing?

The same goes for all the Conan the lib... uhm, barbarian. In the books, conan used to wear armor most of the time. In the movie, well... I suppose they thought it best not to cover up all those muscles they hired, and I have to admit, it is neat looking. But then, Conan is protected by the power of plot to get through all these battles with nothing but his oiled chest between him and the pointy ends. You can try for the same effect in the game, Sai Sahan style. But it probably won't be very "armored" in effect, which is as it ought to be. But hey, one way for those who consider the game too easy to have more fun - play through it barbarian style, leave some armor slots empty...

I do agree that mature is not the same as grim and dark - but there are a lot of ESO quests that really don't have any "good" choices in terms of endings. I think a lot of those are grim (and it's way late at night so of course I cannot think of any examples).

And I'm totally wanting to add some clever and mature comment about clothing - but it's late - I'm fried and I got nothin at the moment.

I agree, some of the quests are grim. Having some grim quests still doesn't make it a grim and dark game though, because those quests are definitely not in the majority. If a majority of the quests are grim and dark, then I'd agree that it's a grim and dark game. As it is, it just seems like a "realistic" fantasy world (I know, I shouldn't use the R word) in that there's a mix of grim, fun, and simply ambiguous content.

OK... going the "bikini way" maybe is a bit too much (for ESO). However, going the "burqa way", which is currently the preferred artistic direction, is also going the wrong way, and on top of that very dull and quite unattractive.

There has always been a degree of nudity and "revealing" outfits in the history of The Elder Scrolls, how come this had to change now, and especially with recent patches, it looks like we suddenly have a quite different "regime" calling the shots.

No one would really want to see ESO turn into Tera, it is a different game, world, lore and environment after all. Not that I personally don't like Tera and "plate thongs" (I do and very much indeed), but this is an entirely different matter and I would be the first to agree that they don't have a place in ESO. However, being paranoid about showing even a tiny bit of female (and male?) flesh and covering everything up to the point of fanaticism, is well... something you would expect from "fanatics", you know who, those lovely chaps who stone women to death, because to them the sight of female flesh is a cardinal sin.

Is that what we want to re-create in ESO? Because it kind of looks that way, and is truly sad, if not pathetic.

Don't put words in my mouth. How did you go from bikini to pro-frumpy? Brilliant logic. There are countless feminine or stylish or cool things that are not bikinis. Sorry but people running around in cash shop bikinis is not appropriate attire in ESO and is exactly the sort of thing I would expect to see in a F2P game. Keep that crap in Archeage where it belongs.

I'm sorry, but not just pubescent males can appreciate the female body and its beauty. Females do too, otherwise there would be no lesbians in the world.

All you're doing here is showing intolerance and ignorance.
