Depending on style of your armor your bodyshape changes

I wonder why we have the option to modify the bodyshape within the character editor if the bodyshape is altered significantly depending on the motif style used.

I could post some screenshots but you can try it more easily yourself on the armory station. Try a few chest pieces and check if shoulderline, chest, chest to belly ratio, waist or hip stays the same.

My experience is: It doesn't

ZOS: Why don't your modeller have a standardized bodyshape for creating new motifs? That then is tweaked to accommodate character editor bodyshape settings?

    Agreed. I'm always annoyed when there's a really nice Motif available, yet it downsizes the body size of my muscular characters by half and makes them extremely thin. I really dislike it when motifs shrink a character significantly.

    I end up rejecting a fair number of costumes for exactly the same reason. I do wish they (motifs also) more faithfully followed the body shape of our characters.

    Lots of personalities also change your body shape. Brassy Assassin turns one of your arms into a noodle, for instance.

    Maybe it is fine to expect that at least they start with a standardized bodyshape with all NEW motifs created...?
