Underwear

Specifically male ones.

Since there's no "Arts/Design" forum, I thought I post here.

My question is, why where everything else in the world looks... Daedric... or... Medieval...or fantasy....

...we get future-looking-carbon-fiber dark grey brief?

Why?

Can't you guys design something closer to context? Like... make it look like twisted cloth or whatever........

Kinda bugs me when I'm running around naked pickpocketing NPC all around Tamriel...

    We have had ugly skivvies since Morrowind.

    I think they make the underwear ugly to discourage people from running around nakedish.

    The Argonian actually have unique underwear, they have this leathery brown styled underwear instead. It does look much better than the standard clean black ones all others are wearing through.

    What I'd like to know, is why do the khajiit have those cycling shorts - why not small briefs like most of the others?

    Because a tail hole in the briefs would cause a Wedgie situation when they sat down......

    changeable means you can have a state of nothing.

    that will never happen.

    Not necissarily. The state of "nothing" would be "default" underwear. It would act like dye... an undyed boot isn't Invisible,

    I actually agree with you on the point that they don't look timeframe appropriate... it was jarring when I first saw it. I don't expect old timey undies that have shape to them, given this is merely a texture... but the texture itself could be better for sure! Some nice comfy old school burlap perhaps! :P

    I have been vexed by my characters underwear ever since i first fired up chargen. So annoyingly modern looking... gimme linen loincloths, japanese fundoshi, tarzan-style leopard skin, whatever; just make it look medieval, and not like a bikini...

    The female bosom is another matter, breast nudity like Age of Conan did is actually close to historical accuracy for much of history, though if the PTB prefer to keep to modesty despite the new mature rating some linen bindings would work just as well - as long as its looks fit the setting, and don't make people think of modern underwear.

    Changeable underwear would be possible, with an "default" texture so people can't go entirely immodest, and likely alternate textures to use purchasable in the crown store... But even nords waking up with their clothes misplaced after a night of heavy drinking seem able to hold onto their underwear, so I don't think we ever need to fear seeing people entirely in their birthday suit... (on that note - if -would- be fun if the guards started arresting people who went around in town in their underwear for "streaking"... :tongue::smirk: )

    As for the "Ken" effect... well... I suppose its a small thing (no pun intended). Though it does remind me how they added a slider for the "bulge" in Saint's Row III... (of course, IF they did this here, they likely would make it an crown unlock ;) Of course, now I am also reminded how Age of Conan has an cashstore option for breast embiggerment past what the sliders usually allowed... I suppose if it sells...)

    That; and what I'd like to know as well is.. how do Khajiit and Argonians (theoretically) get dressed in the first place? First the tail where they have to hold the pants half a mile away to get the tip in, and then the rest? Or are there (theoretically) some kind of buttons around that area?^^
