A second slot for clothes on each armor slot

Moonshadow66

I'm thinking this ever since these new clothes we can find or steal everywhere were added to the game - with a second slot on each item slot, we all could wear these fine clothes, even out of town in battles. Obviously, the armor would be underneath

I'm holding on to most of all kinds of clothes with my retired main, in hope we could wear these someday without having to unequip our armor.

How about you?

Sure! But they would have to go under the armor, like clothes normally would...

:-P

I wear regular clothes in town. If I decide to go into battle with them, I am aware that my armor/stats are suffering.

Ok, under the armor would be an option too, just put it in the main slot and the armor in the second
But it would be cool to not have to suffer in battle, that's why I suggest the second slots^^

What would be nice is if we could collect say 5 or 7 clothing pieces and then could turn them in to exchange for a costume to wear. Sure, this would have to have limits in the exchange (as the possibilities are endless) but 10 or so outfits could be made up in combo.

Oh, wait, we have a Crown Store now that sells costumes. Forget I said anything...........

Stop stop stop, you're staying right here^^ I like your idea The Crown Store items are not combinable as we eventually would want to, so.. I like your idea^^

Yep, I'm surprised this wasn't a feature rolled out with the crown store as costuming seems a staple of most mmo's these days. I too would like to see this feature added.

C'mon, it cannot be just a handful of people wanting to be dressed up outside of town^^ There are so many nice clothes to get now, I want to wear them whereever I go... without dropping dead every 30 seconds

This is how it was in Morrowind.
You could wear normal clothes beneath your armour (and/or robes on top of the armour), and it was awesome.

This would make a fantastic addition to the game, adding more ways to customize your character, and would add ZOS multiple new monetization options (selling cool clothing piece by piece in the Crown Store, instead of just a single costume).

I've run around wearing mostly clothes when I'm just questing. Vet dungeons and trials require full gear, of course.

I never really liked armor much. The dragonscale, nightingale and vampire looked kind of nice in Skyrim and the clothes were a mess but in Morrowind and Oblivion I always enchanted my own clothes so I didn't have to wear armor. Since I always play a mage that was really important in Oblivion.

I, too, am holding on to my clothes and have given a set to each character for town wear and just walking around. I enjoy dress-up and wish there was more of it. I do see more and more players wearing "civvies" in town which is nice.

TheShadowScout

Personally I like how ESO limits the way people can wear "street clothes" and still enjoy the stats of full armor.

If you wear armor, you should look like wearing armor. If you don't look like wearing armor, you should have stats according to your looks.

In my opinion, I'd even tweak costumes a bit, have two types of costumes... "combat costumes" that stay during fights (like the armor sets or monster polymorphs), and "noncombat costumes" that get unequipped much like disguises if you take the first hit (like all everyday clothing costumes).

That stated...

I really want more clothing options. And I want to be able to buy those civilian clothes, instead of having to steal and launder them (and having to trust in random chance to find them while burglaring homes)

And I'd looove it if the non-armor clothing had some noncombat boni on their own... say, wear nobles dress and get store discounts (since shop owners will be extra forthcoming to try and gain a reguklari costumer in that well dressed and rich looking person), wear priest robes and get less bounty (because you look so pieous and holy in the guards eyes), wear craftsmen clothes and you get a bonus to, say, tempering success chance (right tools for the job and such), wear beggars rags and you get a stealth/pickpocketing bonus (since noone really looks at the beggars) - that sort of thing...

exact same reason a separate slot is needed for the Ring of Mara. It ruins set bonuses otherwise.

plus I don't know about you but last time I checked I have 8 fingers. seems a shame to only be able to run rings on two of them.

Rinmaethodain

You dont have to wear clothes only benath armor, you can wear clothes on your armor. Disguising yourself as a monk in robes and hoodie while under it hiding crimson red set of armor. Or you want to wear heavy armor pants but still want to give your character a robe, putting it on your armor.

And most important, capes! Something i miss most, having a cape on my back and seeing as it flies on wind while i run or ride a horse.

And ib4 this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R2aW03pwL0

I still want a cape over my heavy armor :P

Wont happen.

Crown Store would lose money.

If they sold blank costumes you could build on your own then maybe.

Blank costume + Pants + Boots + Shirt.. Set it in the blank costume.. Then we got a custom costume.

This would not take money from crown store.

And two thumbs! Don't forget about the thumbs.

I would like to see cloaks and capes added with an additional slot designated for them, but since the engine that ZOS uses is not able to handle them, causing lag, we will not see them.

I would like to see wardrobes handle like they do in RIFT; they used tabs, so you could setup multiple wardrobes and then select the tab you wanted to wear. The first tab would contain your stat armor and then additional tabs would contain your cosmetic armor/clothing.

Moonscythe

I admit to liking the look of capes and cloaks but I hate the way things clip. When I make an elf, I adjust the ears until they don't show in their hair or I choose a style that doesn't cover them because they don't look natural peeking out of even confined hair and even worse on flowing hair. Capes are impractical wear for weapons use and flap on your back in and out of all the other floaty bits on the armor.

This would be awesome! Like in Skyrim where I carried several items to switch in certain situations (f.e. a necklace for getting better prices, and the like).

Just do a costume tab like LoTRO did.

Let's you define your look using any armor/cloths in game and swap between looks.

I was once "married" to a friend of mine, but yeah, as you said, it ruins the set bonuses. I totally agree on the idea to have an extra slot for it.
And the fingers.. in Oblivion I used a mod to equip more than just two (or one?). It's pretty OP, though, but interesting

I wouldn't say they'd lose money. Atm, I'm holding on to the clothes I "found" not wearing them, but I don't purchase any costumes in the Crown Store either. If I would wear them as they are (separated from armor), there's still no money going into the Crown Store from my side.

Considering the current lag situation, a few cloaks wouldn't do any more harm, I guess
I haven't played Rift, but when you have different tabs for both armor and cosmetic stuff, are they not separated as well (when wearing these)?
