So it's time to bring up this topic.
Why are some shoulder pads sit where they should on the character's shoulders, and some are inappropriately far from they proper plase?
This is normal
And this is meh

You're right they won't fix anything.
It's just sad that you can't use so many styles in outfit.2 -

Your first one is in fact broken (or others like that) on most of my characters, because they're short and slim, causing the pads to appear floating.0 -
UGotBenched91✭✭✭✭✭Yeah it amazes me how bad clipping and lack of consistency in armors and dyes is. Games that came out 10+ years before eso do it better.1 -

✭Different weights and materials are designed to sit differently. Differences in body shape and proportions, and using styles that flat out aren't meant to work together. I don't have any issues with those particular shoulders, as I almost always use them on medium or heavy weight armor.
Pauldrons are going to look silly on robes, and epaulets are going to look silly on plate mail.
EDIT: and yes, that is a new moon priest heavy chest, but even the pauldrons that match look silly on it. Better to use things that feel more "clothy" if that makes sense.
For the curious, the Skyterror Shoulders match closest with the Elder Dragon Hunter style, which was a crown store style from a few years back.Edited by TybaltKaine on 24 March 2024 20:37- Tybalt Kaine Khajiit Nightblade Aldmeri Dominion

✭✭✭✭✭It's annoying. Often I hide shoulders on outfits, but sometimes I actually want to use a shoulder style on them, but then that gets trashed because the shoulders that fit or I had in mind either float decimeters away from the shoulders, or sit out on the edge, or actually clip into the shoulders.[Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I hide shoulders on every girl, because they are all very slim and generally tall - and shoulders just don't work with that body style.Edited by TaSheen on 25 March 2024 01:05______________________________________________________

You're actually wrong. We have a variety of pauldrons that sit closer to the shoulders and epaulets that fly in the air. And i'm not talking about mixed-style outfits. In one particular style in one weight we can see flying shoulder pads.
There's no logic in it it's just a poor implementation.

✭✭I use heavy mazzatun shoulders and light fang lair chest. Looks good to me. You *can* mix and match, just gotta check dyes as some look different on cloth VS plate.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭It’s because each piece was designed to work with the corresponding chest piece of the same weight. You only run into this problem when mixing certain motifs. Many pieces still work well together, and part of the challenge of ESO fashion is figuring out which pieces work well together.
It would be great if the motif system was truly universal, such that every piece fits well with every other piece, but that’s just not how it was designed.0 -

Same. As time goes on I feel like shoulders have gotten more World of Warcraft-y, and it's so annoying. Only a few motifs per chapter have nicely-proportioned shoulders.
So hiding them is often best. I think I've got them hidden in 9 of the 10 outfit slots I have on my character.0 -

Fair enough.
Yes, not all motifs were constructed with care to reduce clipping or floating with other pieces of the same motif in the same weight... most are, though. 0
