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.

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.[

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...

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.

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

Yes I know option 2 is little "graphic" but this game is rated M for a reason.

Yes, I know. Sorry, I thought the sarcasm/humor was obvious. I should have been more clear that I was making a joke.

Because there's nothing between extremes, am I right?

the engine might include physics, like all others, but the game clearly does not. What you stated is just a feature of an engine that might or might not be implemented in a specific game.

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.

Waste as: Still no unique alliance armor, no glass armor. And Dark brotherhood, Morag tong, Thieves guild need their armor too.
I prefer this over slutty armor!

Hahahah! I agree. Just using it as an example that there are lots of different ways to present the same thing.
