Hats & Hoods

Something I'd like to see in the store is some generic hoods. As it is, I REALLY like the Ordinator outfits, but I would rather have a hood (for when it rains) instead of the helmet. Now, I can get the turbans, or I can get the faction rider hoods, but I'd rather have some of the generic hoods from the basic crafting sets, like the Breton hood or the Daedric hood, or what have you. Something I can colour like I've done with the Ordinator armour in place of the helmet.

    I agree 100%. Most of the unique hats they've added (crown crates) are terrible. I mean, I'm sure some people them, but they've really not done much for the average person who just wants a regular, plain, vanilla as hell hat or hood.

    I like the hood that they added with wild hunt crown crates (the one without flowers). And it was pretty cheap, so I bought it with gems and was happy about it.

    At present, the only way for me to wear a robe with a hood is to switch out my heavy armour cuiriass and helmet for a Dunmer robe and Altmer hood and turn off the outfit I like so much. It's kind of disruptive.

    I'd considered getting the turban, but it's not really what I want, and it doesn't colour accurately. I'd considered getting the rider's hoods, but they're the wrong shape and have that crest on the side that I don't like.

    Some hoods (and perhaps helmets) in the store would be a welcome addition.

    So agreed. The Flannel Forester's Hood is very much worth the 16 Crown gems. It drapes well around the character's shoulders, and it's simple without being boring. The one downside is that it doesn't take light-colored dyes very well. Otherwise, everyone who likes a good hood (like me) needs to grab this before the next Crown Crate season (the downside there being that, yeah, you have to buy a couple Crown Crates first)

    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    That moment when you buy a crown crate for bad things to exchange, but get 3 rates and one pet.

    I'd love a simple hood. The mesh used for the Alliance Rider Hood is perfect. I really wish they'd take off the alliance-specific graphic, and make it recolorable, and sell it in the crown store so we can have a recolorable version.

    I have that one. It dyes terribly, and you can't use it with a staff, because the staff will poke through it as if there's a big round hole in the fabric.

    Generally, we could use a LOT of more head covering options. But I said thatz before, haven't I? https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/323156/mad-hatter-memo

    Especially the part where I would like to see them split all existing and upcoming costumes that include head coverings in individually selectable "hat and costume-without-hat", so we can mix and match...

    +1 to that. Most costumes have hideous hats and the available hats just look..well.. lets not go there. ATM I'm using the hood from the New Life event but the fur on it does not really the rest of my suit.
    I just wish they would add the bucket as a costume.


    For some reason when using any hat or headgear in which my face is visible the sideburns on my khajit are not visibile making him look god ugly...is this a bug or?....

    Your kitty is adorable. <3
    It's not technically a bug, but it means they didn't code the hat correctly to work with the sideburns (I think). So, it's more of an oversight rather than a bug.

    I'd still file a bug report, so they know it needs fixing.

    Honestly, just need better hoods and hats. Both generic and less generic.

    I believe I've posted something similar. I too like medium armor but without the face mask look that permeates all high level medium armor. There is no maskless hood in higher end armor.

    Just a plain hood - plainer and less bulky looking than the flannel hood, would be nice. and practically NO work since they exist in light armor already.

    Light armor hood and shoulder shalls, I've always liked that look. Stendarr vigilance outfit. Or the Skyrim mod cloaks and heavy armor.
    I'd be real cool if we could just craft a helmet of any type of our own, then buy a Crown store item that makes it a "Hat"
    Then go and craft an armor set we like the look of and then, using the Crown store item, make it a "Costume"
    Think I'd spend a lot more crowns if I could make my own costumes.

    Thank you for the compliment. I love making characters and this one took me at least 40 minutes. I have always loved the charater creation that TES games provide.

    Bug report has been filed as feedback. no option to provide a character bug report for something like this. Been over two weeks still no answer. Just filed a crown store item report for the hats lol. Hope to receive an answer on this.
