PLEASE remove these huge hip pieces from light and medium armor

Greycats

I agree; what purpose do they serve?

Soulshine

Hehe. Some pretty funny stuff here

Mud flaps indeed. I guess they are pretty low on my list of things I would like fixed but... they ARE on the list for me too. I rrealy dislike looking like I have flaps... well... flapping on my hips all the time, eeww. Very unbecoming, especially on my female chars. I hope they change this at some point in the future.

I have no problem with them. This game uses skin tight textures to limit poly count and turning those off would only make us look like we are wearing skin tight outfits. This is why many players make their characters far thicker than they would normally look so that armor looks like it has substance.

I see a ton of players making skinny toons and likely they had no clue how terrible they would look in armor.

I guess nobody here likes Japanese armor either.

Jroc

I HATE these. Please allow us to get rid of them. Oh and maybe the front and back flaps too.

Mine would weigh less than the minimum possible in the creation area if I could have.

starkerealm

Yeah, I loathe the hip covers on medium and light armor. Heavy, it's fine, but on light it just floats off the character, looking really weird.

Jaxsun

Yep, they're fail.

Daraugh

Agreed, tassets look ridiculous on light armor and at best, meh on medium. I found that they don't float as badly if you set the slider on your toon's hips to all the way full in the creation screen. I just don't always want such an, ahem, fully bottomed toon lol

Another small thing that I wish would go away are the elbow pads on lvl 30ish Khajiit light armor gloves. It looks like there's boobs on my kitty's elbows. It just can't be unseen.

dreadlaxb16_ESO

I hate it on light armor =S It's so unsexy ^_^

Aoife32001

Pauldrons are way worse than the tassets, which I actually don't mind at all. It is nice to add some hint of armor to medium and even light. I'd prefer to see a few more small/light pieces on robes (sewn leather patches or padding) and medium armor, though without the line-backer look that seems so prevalent in MMOs...

ThePonzzz

Tassets are part of the torso piece, sadly. What I rather see, is a more robust style system when crafting armor. Allow us to design how each piece looks individually, by using a set number of designs per style. I'd have loved if the crafter could also apply an original dye so that it's not bound, but I understand that won't happen.

WolfingHour

I agree with the OP, they look awful, like they were tacked or glued on.

Or even an option similar to Hidden Helmet that hides shoulder pieces would be great. Everybody wins because everyone can set it to what they want.

Until then Seadrake Disguise all the way on all chars.

Veldoril95b16_ESO

I would like the mud flaps removed (atleast give us the option to have them disabled), so I can see butt!

Elsterchen

Oh yeah, butt is important. I sometimes just wear the forebearers dishdashas costume only to catch some comments on my chars butt (...it always works!) - wearing the heavy armor beneath it (obviously I won't take risks even when i am out fishing for compliments).

MornaBaine

Allow me to add my voice to the chorus of "the hip mud flaps must go!" Yeah it's incredibly minor and I feel kind of bad for complaining about it... but they are SOOOO HIDEOUS and since they are on darn near EVERYTHING it just kind of makes me grind my teeth! PLEASE ZoS make them GO AWAY!!!!! Plus there's the fact that they just FLOAT IN THE FREAKING AIR and are visibly attached to nothing! WHAT was the art team THINKING????

Blooddancer

There has got to be a "Yo armour so fat" gag in here somewhere, try harder people

Moonshadow66

I really would like to have the option, too, to just hide these ridiculous flip flop flaps like we can hide the helmet. The flaps, tassets and shoulder pads.

I always wanted to have a character that wears armor (not a disguise) that looks like just a shirt and pants, but these flaps all around just spoil it.

About the floating tassets, the only explanation I could think of is, they might be designed for the "fattest possible character" that can be created and don't attach to a body that is thinner.

Nestor

I just call them flippy floppy fanny packs.

Not sure why they are there myself. But I play zoomed out in 3rd Person in this game, and I don't really see them as I am looking around more than I am looking at my character.

I do agree the characters would look better if they were not there.

I agree with you.

I didn't say that, and I'm female btw, but you might have a point there

smeeprocketnub19_ESO

I like the front flaps but not the side flaps.

The jerkins don't really flatter my character's form without the front flaps.

I want her to work it with some gear that accentuates her natural curves.

We want to see the flaps beneath the mud flaps. xD

They spoil female fantasies too! All my male characters are narrow-hipped and lean - so the 'mud flaps' are more obvious and silly than ever.

I used to mod for Skyrim and whenever I modified an existing armor to reduce the size of either the pauldrons or the tassets, I got a flood of complaints. The typical complaint was that it compromised 'realism'... which always perplexed me, since there was apparently no problem with the giant flying fire-breathing lizards, or throwing fireballs from your finger tips.

jamie.goddenrwb17_ESO

I like them...

Only because I can't wear heavy armor without my damage falling through the floor so I wear medium and paint it to look like steel to pretend I'm in heavy...

If there were a way to make a heavy armored warrior that didn't suck though...
