Treasure Seeker Outfit BULGE on Female Character?!

So, I was about to buy the treasure seeker outfit that just released, but I noticed that there's a massive bulge over the front. I understand that perhaps it's to deflect rapiers and such, but this particular bulge seems to be unintended. I would like to see it fixed before you push these things out to have people buy. I understand you need money to keep the company well, but this is kind of... grotesque.

    The only Bulge I see is the one I would expect to see on Female Armors.

    Or, are you talking about the slight bulge below the hilt of the sword? The orientation of your screenshot does not make it clear enough to see just what that is.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I think it is eluding to how fake and thrown together the armor *ahem* molds to the female physique.

    Not sure why people expect all outfits to cup the breasts on female characters. Not every outfit has a built in bustier. I think the costume looks fine. I wonder if the OP put this here as a satirical bag on the posts about female costumes

    Yeah, I think that "bulge" you're seeing is a little high up to be a codpiece of any sort.
    As mentioned by @Rakkul , it's just a normal flaring at the bottom of the breastplate, similar to the "bulge" in back.

    If you're talking about it not having sculted boobs, that's a you problem. Females should not have hammered-in boobs in their armor, as it causes blades and such to the sternum, which is bad.

    I find it amusing that this trivial matter of preference is what the OP chose to write about, of all things.

    The armor looks fine, and the OP does not provide any rational or logical explanation as to what is wrong with it or why it's a problem. The design is realistic and tasteful.

    OP: Your word choice is inappropriate. One does not use the word "grotesque" to describe something ordinary and without obvious flaw.

    It may help if OP responds and clarifies what bulge. Like I said, if you were expecting the female version to have sculpted boobs, I am sorely disappointed.

    This^^

    Especially when the picture on the crown store clearly shows that it's not "form fitting." That's right, I'm talking to all you complaining about the Dragon-whatever-whatever costume. It's in the picture, not to mention you can preview it before buying.

    Why does every female costume have to fit the "female" form the way you want? Aren't there enough costumes and armor that already do?

    Its a scavenged outfit... Clearly that chest piece is from a male Bosmer.

    I think it fits its theme pretty well.


    (ALSO: its the only costume/armour with a back pack)

    OP just don't buy the "realistic" armor pieces... Problem settled. Its good to have a mix of realistic ones and the sexy boob hugging sculpted metal ones. I just go for the ones that are nice and boob hugging. I don't have a problem with ZOS releasing some realistic ones for those that require them.

    And the narrow waist was not by cosmetic reasons, but so that the hips carry part of the weight of the chest piece as well. Most real plate armor I have seen in real life has this kind of narrow waist line by this reason.

    As much as I hate how many of the styles and costumes distort the female body, I don't think this is one of them.

    This one in particular doesn't look like it does that, to me. Looks just like practical heavy chest. At least, it doesn't look distorted on my characters.
    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.
