Altmer Hero Costume
-
Abeille✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Probably 2k like the Nord costume, unless the sales were so poor that they decided to sell the other two costumes for a lower price.
Also, I'm noticing that they corrected quite a few things in the concept art (namely, the gloves). I'm probably buying it if it looks this good in game. The Nord costume looked atrocious in game.
But for the flavor text for the first Bosmer costume... Wouldn't something other than a skirt be better for climbing trees?
Not that I don't like the skirt - I love it and I'm buying both costumes if they don't have the "inflatable rib cage" bug - but the flavor text doesn't seem to match the costume so much.
Also, let me just say that I love all mounts and pets in this showcase too. This is actually the first Crown Store showcase that doesn't have a single item that I don't want.
So on one hand, they remove the skirt on the altmer costume, but give us 2 bosmer costumes that make as much sense as Raquel Welch in a leather Victoria Secret outfit in One Million Years BC :

I honestly wish for a costume revealing shapes but one that fits the universe too. I mean, even a "dock prostitute outfit" would be appealing as long as it has sense.
I don't like the Redguard outfits, but they fit the universe. Those bosmer costumes don't.
I wish I could understand their logic...
I actually think it fits the Bosmer, just not for climbing trees.
It is all leather, bones and beads it seems, so no breaking the Green Pact with these. The shapes are not overly complicated (the skirt looks like just a piece of leather rolled around the hips and kept in place by a simple belt), the top reminds me of some elements of Bosmeri medium armor and it looks pretty good for someone that lives in a tropical forest. The colors help, too, since they are not too bright.
Now, if we can ever dye these, I can see the problem, because with the skirt dyed blue and the top dyed whatever bright color they choose, the outfits will look too much like something a girl would wear in our world.Edited by Abeille on March 30, 2016 10:15PMJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Speaking from personal, real life experience I think it would be possible to climb trees in that outfit.
The skirt is short and close fitting enough that it's unlikely to get in the way or get caught on anything (especially since it's made of leather) and it's a 'wrap around' style - the two sides cross over at the front, meaning (assuming they've not done something stupid like stitch it together where they meet) as you lift your leg up the two sides will slide over each other 'opening up' the skirt and giving a much greater range of movement than the close fit would otherwise imply.
I don't know if that makes any sense, especially to people with no experience trying to move around in a skirt, but basically what I'm getting at is I think you'd be able to get a full range of movement while wearing it. Including getting one leg right up to your chest with the other straight down, or out behind you or pretty much doing the splits. So climbing trees while wearing it would be totally feasible. And it may actually be more comfortable than trousers, especially in a hot, humid jungle.
Of course you'll be flashing your underwear to anyone underneath you, or in front if you lift your leg up. But I don't think that would bother the bosmer as much as some people. The other downside is it won't do much to protect you from scratches, insects etc. but again I doubt that's considered an issue.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

They could climb something other than a tree in that outfit is what I thought you meant. lol
I don't see an issue with dying it to look like a jean skirt and a top because people are free to dye their costumes whatever they want (if and when its added). Like I am free to have all bright pink heavy armor if I choose and nobody an tell me otherwise.0 -

I don't think some bosmer women would bother wearing any undies so you might see everything!
Who knows its possible some bosmer men wear skirts, and do the same.Edited by Thevampirenight on March 30, 2016 10:40PMPC NA

You are free to dye your stuff in the way you want, and no one can tell you you CAN'T do that. That's not the point. The point is that what you want do dye your stuff as can look ugly/outlandish. People can't forbid you from doing that anyway, but they are free to dislike it. And a costume like the Bosmer one would be one of the easiest to make it look outlandish through dyes because of the shape of it.That lion mount looks epic though

Yes so even if you don't like it others will so if ZOS adds costume dyes then all the same dyes available for armor will be available for costumes. How would shape influence color? Are pink circles sexier than pink squares?0 -

Okay?
I agree that it looks good (on these colors), and I'm probably buying both.
I don't know if my Bosmer will wear any of them, though. Not the kind of thing she would wear, she is not really fond of skirts. My Argonian would like these, though. At least until we get Argonian outfits.FLuFFyxMuFFiN wrote: »FLuFFyxMuFFiN wrote: »FLuFFyxMuFFiN wrote: »Probably 2k like the Nord costume, unless the sales were so poor that they decided to sell the other two costumes for a lower price.

Not that I don't like the skirt - I love it and I'm buying both costumes if they don't have the "inflatable rib cage" bug - but the flavor text doesn't seem to match the costume so much.
Also, let me just say that I love all mounts and pets in this showcase too. This is actually the first Crown Store showcase that doesn't have a single item that I don't want.
So on one hand, they remove the skirt on the altmer costume, but give us 2 bosmer costumes that make as much sense as Raquel Welch in a leather Victoria Secret outfit in One Million Years BC :

I honestly wish for a costume revealing shapes but one that fits the universe too. I mean, even a "dock prostitute outfit" would be appealing as long as it has sense.
I don't like the Redguard outfits, but they fit the universe. Those bosmer costumes don't.
I wish I could understand their logic...
I actually think it fits the Bosmer, just not for climbing trees.
It is all leather, bones and beads it seems, so no breaking the Green Pact with these. The shapes are not overly complicated (the skirt looks like just a piece of leather rolled around the hips and kept in place by a simple belt), the top reminds me of some elements of Bosmeri medium armor and it looks pretty good for someone that lives in a tropical forest. The colors help, too, since they are not too bright.
Now, if we can ever dye these, I can see the problem, because with the skirt dyed blue and the top dyed whatever bright color they choose, the outfits will look too much like something a girl would wear in our world.
I see what you did there
Im confused on how it would be a problem if we could dye it. Is it a problem because it will look too much like something that exists in the real world or another problem?
On the other hand I will buy the Altmer costume primarily because I bought the Nord one and I feel like I need to complete the collection.
I'm afraid I didn't do anything there, I was referencing the flavor text for the first costume. Unless that's what you think I did.
It is a problem because it would look like something from our world (jeans skirt plus top) and not like something from TES.
They could climb something other than a tree in that outfit is what I thought you meant. lol
I don't see an issue with dying it to look like a jean skirt and a top because people are free to dye their costumes whatever they want (if and when its added). Like I am free to have all bright pink heavy armor if I choose and nobody an tell me otherwise.
You are free to dye your stuff in the way you want, and no one can tell you you CAN'T do that. That's not the point. The point is that what you want do dye your stuff as can look ugly/outlandish. People can't forbid you from doing that anyway, but they are free to dislike it. And a costume like the Bosmer one would be one of the easiest to make it look outlandish through dyes because of the shape of it.That lion mount looks epic though
Oh yes! And it looks like it is a permanent addition, too.
Yes so even if you don't like it others will so if ZOS adds costume dyes then all the same dyes available for armor will be available for costumes. How would shape influence color? Are pink circles sexier than pink squares?
I don't think you get it.
It is not about being sexy.
It is about what looks like it is from our world and what looks like it is from theirs.
The shape influences it because it is shaped like something from our world, and something very common and popular too. Something that a blue color would make more recognizable (jeans mini-skirt).
If it was a rugged skirt with asymmetrical edges, like the long skirts of the bosmer light armor, painting it blue wouldn't make it nearly as recognizable as the short skirt.Edited by Abeille on March 30, 2016 10:57PMJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

Personally I really liked the little bit of skin showing and that's a woman talking. Then, I know it wouldn't be practical in combat for obvious reasons but meh, I still liked it.
Honestly @ParaNostram , I think more often than not it's women that want little bits of skin showing. There's a HUGE difference between a cute and sexy outfit and a sleazy street walker looking outfit.
Then there's a really REALLY small minority that is VERY vocal that just ruins everyone else's fun.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.

I occasionally will put pink on my armor. I don't think its looks that bad. Usually it's on my female character. Some people just like the color so they put it on their armor. At one point I would run around with each armor piece dyed a different color of the rainbow.0 -

Okay?
I agree that it looks good (on these colors), and I'm probably buying both.
I don't know if my Bosmer will wear any of them, though. Not the kind of thing she would wear, she is not really fond of skirts. My Argonian would like these, though.

There's a lot of things from our world that are in Tamriel. A blue skirt with a pink top will still fit the game. Dyes fit the lore so why would making a blue skirt with a different colored top not fit?

Things are not all black and white.
No, having an issue with it doesn't mean not wanting it to be added. I never said that, and that's a major assumption. There are actually several levels of "liking/disliking", not only "must have" or "get this out of my face right now". There is tolerance. I actually want costume dyes to be added because there are other costumes I want to dye, even if I do not want to dye this one in particular. You will never find me telling ZOS to remove/not add dyes, even if I don't particularly like pink armor - quite the opposite, I was one of the people who kept yelling all over the forum for them to be added back on beta (did you know that the game didn't have dyes originally?), despite knowing people would run around wearing bright colors.
Also, I didn't say *I* had a problem with it, I said I could see the problem, as an answer to another player who complained that the outfits do not fit the universe. I was saying they do fit the universe in their default colors (so I didn't see why they thought it didn't), but I could see the problem (the problem the player had of them not fitting the universe) if it could be dyed to look like something that actually didn't fit the universe. I tolerate this kind of thing just like I tolerate bright pink armor or the Frost Mare.
About your edit, I do not dislike something when it resembles the real world, I dislike something for not belonging in TES. TES has a established lore that I would like to see at least generally respected. And you are also exacerbating my "dislike" of it. Again, I tolerate it, and I never said I didn't want it to be in the game.Edited by Abeille on March 30, 2016 11:41PMJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair.

I actually want costume dyes to be added because there are other costumes I want to dye, even if I do not want to dye this one in particular. You will never find me telling ZOS to remove/not add dyes, even if I don't particularly like pink armor - quite the opposite, I was one of the people who kept yelling all over the forum for them to be added back on beta (did you know that the game didn't have dyes originally?), despite knowing people would run around wearing bright colors.
Also, I didn't say *I* had a problem with it, I said I could see the problem, as an answer to another player who complained that the outfits do not fit the universe. I was saying they do fit the universe in their default colors (so I didn't see why they thought it didn't), but I could see the problem (the problem the player had of them not fitting the universe) if it could be dyed to look like something that actually didn't fit the universe. I tolerate this kind of thing just like I tolerate bright pink armor or the Frost Mare.
Okay and yes I know the game did not always have dyes. I've been playing since beta too. You will just never see me complain about cosmetics because they don't affect me in any way, shape, or form. I understand people will have issues with things based on their preference but when it comes to cosmetics they should get over it.0 -

✭What we wanted:
What we will get:
I don't think I'll be buying it.. No torn pieces of cape.. Leg and boots looks different.. I think it'll be a disappointment, just like the Nord hero armor..
Agreed. Better looking than the nord hero trash but still a bit off of epic from the concept.0 -

At least it looks better than before.
Old pics:
I'm sorry for the bad quality on the first pic. It was the only one I found.
Even with the bad quality, it is possible to see the differences. I am particularly glad that they changed the gloves.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0
