Sortta blah really, exposed skin for female characters, a glorified dress for the males with ever square inch covered below the neck. I know you guess are capable of doing better. For one, if you're going to do a female strip down, do the male counterpart. And pretty sure female players might want something other then strips of cloth. You have a diverse player base with different genders, orientations and cultures stop pandering to the teenage male stereotype. If you want me wasting my money on costumes they have got to be better then this.

This game does not pander to the teenage male stereotype. Those Argonian outfits are in no way offensive. I'll be buying one of them. But I agree, it's time males got a few more bare/skimpy armors as well. With all the different skins, it's understandable some guys would appreciate the opportunity to show them off.

They often seem to do that. I watch for the German posting and that usually lets me know that there is an English one out there hiding.

Did I say offensive at all? If I found it offensive I would also find it offensive if they did it to the male characters. I want cool options. I want warm looking clothing for cold climes, both genders, I want less clothing for hot climes. And good lord! If I had the muscles my character has I would be freaking showing them not hiding under stupid robes that look closer to ugly dresses. And skins and tattoos? Why would I even bother when almost every single thing I have for costumes cover everything.

Its frustrating when in every game you play, and I've played a ton, its the same crap, throw shapeless robes on the males and expose as much skin as possible on females. Ugh, just frustrated.

You inferred it is by saying female players might want something other than strips of cloth, which is nonsense because there is a nice selection of covered and uncovered for females. Anyway, I am agreeing with you on the male items, and I've noticed this in MMO's across the board, there are always few, sometimes none, skimpy outfits for males. I personally don't play males, so it doesn't affect me, but my boyfriend did make a comment about not being able to show off his newly purchased skin once.

Personally, I'd like to see more dresses like the Noble Dress, detailed and fancy.

If they pandered to the “teenage male stereotype” then they wouldn’t allow male orcs to run around disturbingly in female wedding dresses. Also, see Nordic bathing towel.

I do agree that there could be more diversity for male outfits, however. Something akin to the pirate or dark shaman costumes. I hardly ever use revealing costumes so it doesn’t affect me, but I can see the wish to show off tattoos and the like.

Was very excited about the snow senche until I saw that it's pet. What a bummer.

They already released the mount version for a limited time quite a while ago (it's not a snow leopard-senche but just a leopard senche, but they basically look the same), and I think it's in the flame crates right now, so no way this was going to be a mount. Though I understand that's a bummer for anyone wanting to be able to buy the mount via direct purchase rather than gamble on crates.

I need the Doom wolf plz.
or that bad ass daedra looking wolf.

Am I the only one that thinks the leopards face is a bit derpy? I love the fuzziness in the belly and tail though

Morgul667

Still looking forward chinese conical hats though

Yeah it looks like a lion wearing a snow leopard's halloween costume.

Donari

The head is a tad too big and square for actual snow leopard proportions but it's the chin fuzz that detracts. It's just too big a chin tuft compared to most any image you can google up of RL snow leopards.

I still want it but am going to hold onto my crowns until I know how much outfit slots will cost.

Skullstachio

When it arrives, I am so getting the wraith of crows (Best way to show the blackfeather court your devotion too.)

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno I like very much the idea of having new female costumes. But considering the crown store is essentially vanity, is it so hard to come up with new hair style and makeup that do not make me look like a member of the Kiss rock band?

Polymorph for me , I hope soon we get a Nocturnal statue and furnishing set as well:

Another “meh” month of costumes, but that polymorph looks interesting.

Same. The only thing I'm actually interested in is the poly.

The fire atronach mounts are amazing! Everything else meh. The bug mount and clockwork fan mount really awesome!
