Oh yeah... Those hip and elbow pieces...

They really gotta go. At least on the heavy armour. Sure, they look good when standing. They do NOT look good when running. And on the armours included with 2.1.X (at least on PTS) there's some REALLY bad clipping with sheathed 1h-weapons...

They just look stupid at rest, and when in motion they flap way away from the body they're not attached to.

At least give them and those big shoulderpad/cup-holders an invisible mode, like headgear.

I agree. Hip armour is to ESO what the leather trench coat look was to Dragon Age Inquisition. Overused, horrid and needless.

Agree to both.

There is not much armor that looks better with hipflaps than without.
And I do not need those unsightly MMO shoulders that stick out and float in the air.

Less is more.
Less would be more Elder Scrolls and less Online.

Most of the time I'd be happy with a simple hooded robe. Why does everything have to be so heavily ornamented?

Oh please. First things first. Have you ever had to hold block while jumping off the cliff, wielding a staff?

Staffs are for milk-drinkers. Nords wield axes.

For those curious to what @Anhedonie is talking about, I made a Gfycat of it.

I hope this is never fixed! .

EDIT:

Fixed an issue where your body would appear to separate if you roll dodged off a ledge while holding a staff and blocking.

I wish every chest piece had a new basic breast plate variant that got rid of the hip plates and butt flaps, similar to how ZOS made the skirtless variants of the light armour robes. I don't mind the plates and flaps on some of the armours, but since I vastly prefer the basic breast plate look, my options are few and far between. Bosmer light and medium works well for keeping the silly flaps at bay, but even then, the hip plates start showing up by the third material tier.

Even a toggle option would be okay to get rid of the hip plates / flaps, like the option to hide helmets. I wouldn't want it the hide the whole chest piece of course, just the plates / flaps.
