PSA: "Graverobber" Costume Suffers From Skinny Legs Syndrome

Kiyakotari · April 2020

The "Graverobber" Costume from the Gloomspore Crown Crates suffers from (a bad case of) the same leg-thinning-out issue that some of the other costumes with short, skirt-like designs have displayed in the past. Notably the "Lizardly Four-Fabric Skirt Set" outfit also displayed this bug, and was fixed due to it being a graphical error. I believe the "Shrike" costume had a similar bug and was also repaired. Can we get a fix on the "Graverobber" costume, too?

I suffer from body dis morphia when I don this costume as well... it puffs out my chest and makes my legs skinny.

I think part of the reason they don't catch this issue, in development, is the weird positioning of the legs, in this game.

They are placed too near the outer corners of the pelvis.

Meaning, to get the legs to have the right outer profile (when walking, because that is the only time your char's legs are close together!) and thigh and calf size etc., you often end up with a thigh gap, when you shouldn't do.

If you look at people's legs, in real life, it isn't typical for women to have a thigh gap, all the way up their thighs, unless they are slim with wide, or very wide, hips.

Women, with average to narrower hips, normally have thighs that touch at the very top, even if they are slim/have slim legs.

Then, in addition to this, your char also stands with its legs too far apart, all the time, like they are constantly squaring up to something.

All this means they tend to look fairly weird to begin with, so it will be easier for the artists to miss the added weirdness of this costume bug.

This is the same bs that made me never use the Treasure Hunter costume, even though I like the details on it so much.

The series of skirts sold periodically on the crown store also have leg deforming issues. It all started when they released the two Argonian models; the Lizardly Four-Fabric Skirt and the Egg-Sister Bias Cut Casual Wear. With the Four Fabric skirt it deformed both the outer and inner thigh, on the Egg Sister outfit it was only the inner thigh that was skinnier. They fixed the outer thigh issue with the Four Fabric skirt but never fixed the issue of the skinny inner thigh, and it's very noticeable if you character has thick or muscular legs. The problem also affected the two older models of the skirt; Doeskin and Chamois Woodswear and Graht Climbers Activewear. It's one of those really annoying things that once you notice it the first time you can't stop noticing it.
