Honestly, the only problem I've got is the new stuff coming out seems to have higher res textures than the content already in the game.

Noble Dress is on my shopping list... most definitely. The Wedding Suit bugs me and when I see the Noble Suit I think of either an old Doctor Who or a newer Sherlock Holmes.
In any case, I definitely do not agree with Morna about the Noble Dress. It is not wrong for ESO.The screenshots are in WQHD, which is higher than FULL HD that most gamers probably use while playing.
Which means they will look like indistinct fuzzy blobs in HD?

Yeah, though that's not exactly what I'm talking about. There's already a noticeable fidelity jump between, say, the Breton armor and the new Redguard and Orcish textures. The new stuff (like these outfits) coming from the crownstore that doesn't reuse old assets (like most of the costumes, including the ashlander pack) are noticeably sharper. I suspect the issue will only get worse as time goes by.2 -

Besides that, if your GPU has more than just the 2 VRAM, you could give WQHD a shot. The performance only suffers if your VRAM is full.starkerealm wrote: »starkerealm wrote: »MornaBaine wrote: »

Ya that's a typical thing in many games, new stuff tends to have more details. We can see this on our mounts as well. I must admit that I don't exactly know why, if its just to sell more or if there is an actual technical reason for it.Edited by Audigy on August 9, 2015 12:15PM0 -

Developer proficiency with the tools they're using improves over time. Also, it's possible hardware is upgraded during production and after release. Well, probable. So the quality goes up from working with better systems.1 -

The point is that this is a different game, different art style and different era of Tamriel history. These outfits just don't fit with the art style of this game. To me, they will always look glaringly out of place.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!2 -
Tessie✭✭✭MornaBaine wrote: ».. why are we not getting CULTURAL costumes from the different races of ESO?
Because people have been asking for them, and they're willing to pay for them. We can have both and many of their previous costume sets have been more consistent with ESO.
If you're worried about your immersion, I don't think a fancy outfit "from a far land unlike any we've seen before" is too much of a stretch.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree
Of course it's a different art style. Oblivion is from 2006 (Morrowind 2002 and Skyrim 2011), so of course both graphics and design has evolved/changed since then.
I just think that we should be positive about the fact that they have decided to add proper clothing costumes to the game (for those of us who have been wishing for such things). And if you don't like the selection now, hopefully they will make something that you prefer in the future "Feet are for walking. Hands are for hitting. Or shaking. Or waving. Sometimes for clapping."

I think they should do a co-op ad campaign with Victoria's Secret and get some good under-garment costumes going.Edited by AhPook_Is_Here on August 9, 2015 4:52PM“Whatever.”

No, they don't look awful. In fact, they're rather pretty. But they look like they were made for another game entirely, not ESO. They do not at all fit the artistic aesthetic of this game. They look more like they came from, respectively (top to bottom)Noble Dress: 1500's England, Noble Suit: 1700's England, Wedding Suit: 1800's England. Of course the currently available wedding and evening gown (which are exactly the same dress recolored) look like bad Ren Faire wear.
Now, whoever is designing the armor costumes is awesome. But whoever they put in charge of designing CLOTHING needs to be flogged. Has this person EVER played the game????
All of the clothing costumes appear to be very Breton/Western European inspired. They dont stand out to me as being out of place. In fact they seem very much what you would find in Breton High Society.
Granted most of Bretons cultural inspirations appear to come from the height of the Medieval times and the Noble Suit/Wedding Suit appears to draw inspiration from a time period a few hundred years later. Theres nothing spectacularly out of place because of that. Imperials, their Armor, clothing, architecture, social structure is all based around Romans in a much earlier time period from the Medieval times..Or the Nords who are based on Vikings who were at their height much later in the Medieval Times then what you see in Breton influences. Fact is the entire game is our entire known history and cultures smashed into one continent.
Why arent you complaining about the very large out of place ships that are inspired by Sailing Ships of the 1600-1800s? If we're to believe that the Breton society and every other society in Tamriel is perpetually stuck in a specific time period then the Bretons should be sailing in Cogs and not something that resembles a Brig.Edited by Korah_Eaglecry on August 9, 2015 7:28PMPenniless Sellsword CompanyCaptain Paramount - Jorrhaq VhentKorith Eaglecry * Enrerion Aedihle * Laerinel Rhaev * Caius Berilius * Seylina Ithvala * H'Vak the GrimjawlTenarei Rhaev * Dazsh Ro Khar * Yynril Rothvani * Bathes-In-Coin * Anaelle Faerniil * Azjani Ma'LesAban Shahid Bakr * Kheshna gra-Gharbuk * Gallisten Bondurant * Etain Maquier * Atsu Kalame * Faulpia SeverinusWhat is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? - Paarthurnax5 -

I like them, just not enough to pay real money for them without the ability to customize them to me specifically. I want the smallest possible % of a chance of standing next to someone who is wearing the exact same thing as me.
If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!2 -

The female noble dress totally fits this game, so do the neadic outfits, I do have to admit the Noble suit looks like it could be from fable 2 and the vampire suit/aka male wedding attire looks like it came from fable 3, and reminds me of jasper who is in fact also Cadwell in this game. same voice actor by the way. But they still I can see easy being in eso.PC NA

And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.
