    My wife asked me to write to you.

    Right........where is that lol up vote. I for one hope the armor in this game never goes that ridiculous route like those Korean MMOs.

    Upon reading this, I think it's a great idea. Zeni should make some more revealing armors ... real iron underwear.

    Then put them on the Crown Store and sell them for 5200 crowns or by direct purchase for $24.99 ... for each piece.

    Based on this thread, they would make a fortune!

    Dark Seducer is still naughty, if you're that way inclined...

    Golden Saint might be too, can't remember to be honest but I thought it was more corset than armour.

    As for historical accuracy/realism, Picts, Celts, Britons, Greek Hoplites, Berserkers... all had a penchant for at least partial nudity.

    And Boudicca's statue outside the Houses of Parliament shows one of the fiercest female warriors in quite a skimpy costume...

    Isn't she fully clothed? No, no, no ... that isn't revealing. This is revealing:

    You want to show off your character's boobs? Don't wear upper body armor!!! You will get two birds with one shot- your char will look slutty and you will get realism!

    would that be ok to u? so what's the difference from having sluty costumes?

    Game allows you to show off your characters boobs and ass but you have to sacrifice your armor rating. And if you care so much about look then lower armor rating and 1 less set armor peace shouldn't be obstacle for you. Why waste resources on making *** costumes when players already can dress like ***?

    simple, people will pay money for those costumes. Hence, not a waste of resources. "Waste" infers no return on investment. Clearly, that would not be the case.

    Waste as: Still no unique alliance armor, no glass armor. And Dark brotherhood, Morag tong, Thieves guild need their armor too.

    Yes it is fiction but you still have to apply realism to it. Look at Dragon age, it's fantasy (elves, dwarves, demons, dragons magic, the whole shabang) and they do armour pretty legit and even reference to "boob plate" and how stupid it is (even in their fantasy setting) with the quote posted earlier between iron Bull and Cassandra.

    If we just go - "Well it's fiction/fantasy, you can't app;y realism" Where do you draw the line? I want my character to jump as high as a mountain! Gravity? Pft stop trying to apply realism into my fantasy!

    there is no physics in ESO therefore there is no gravity. Its just a constant check for ground collision and in case there is none, the "body" will be moved down until collision is reached. Where is the realism in that? It is fictionally represented to emulate reality, but no physical laws apply. Basically its just like PACMAN with z-axis. And now try to say there is realism in PACMAN...

    Actually when you jump it is based on physics built into the engine.

    Actually the engine needs to include a physics engine to apply actual force like gravity to the physical object. ESO does not include such a feature so it all moves by relocating the object on xyz. U can use math functions to "emulate" the jump and fall speeds and other movements so they look like driven by physics. But they are not. Try jumping with a horse down the stairs and turning mid air and you will understand what i'm talking about.

    If they go around dressed like xena then they should have their armour value cut down to 1/4 to reflect their choice of armour.

    We already did... it's called Light Armor.

    You never watched xena did you.

    She wore medium armour that consisted of a leather bra and skirt. It had 0 value as armour.

    But she never got hit. That counts as a ton of armor.

    This is true but unfortunately us players can't play in God mode.

    If I dress like Conan I expect to have little to no armour value and have less bonus stats. Just sayin

    Fun trivia: In the actual Robert E. Howard stuff, Conan wore armor most of the time.

    As women in general, love to dress up. They like the beautiful feminine clothes.

    We the top one isn't an extreme that's plate armour doing its job. Remove any of it and it's not doing its job any more. I think your failing to grasp the basic reason for wearing armour

    Two totally different styles for the same thing. The first is going to appeal to some, others are going to prefer the second.

    I think we can all agree that different people like different things. The game can't really cater to ALL of them, that's why games like TERA appear to a different crowd than ESO. But as has been said many times before: I think costume options is the answer here. If people want to look pretty, give them options to do so. It's not going to hurt anyone, and it'll probably make Zenimax a lot of money.
