Malacath Style, why is it always the little things?

ArchMikem

I decided a change in look would be nice. Spent the tens of thousands on some Malacath Chapters and went to crafting. The style in general is really good, love the chests, shoulders, light head, legs, most of my characters are now sporting the style. But there's one glaring issue I'm trying to deal with.



I want to know what was going through the Art Department's minds when they decided to take those side guards, and bend the upper half at such an unholy angle. Your arms even clip badly when idle. Please tell me there's going to be a patch sometime in the future that reworks the armor styles to be more, "practically appealing".

Why didn't the Nords think of this??? It would be the perfect place to stash their mead...

Everyone else is wrong. Thats where you stash your fishy sticks so you can have a snack between killing monsters.

I honestly thought this was going to be about the bad texture stretching. Whoops.

Implying it's not already in their belly. That's the best place to hold it, after all, no cups required!

Also, on my screen, the robe eliminates the lovely fluffy fur on the top of the boots.
There are pictures taken of this set on ESO Fashion, where, in the past this didn't happen. Now, the boots seem to take on the mapping of the robe. It looks really awful

Yup I noticed that too. You know how the Ancient Elf boots look Piratey? The robe replaces them down to the ankle and turns them into Tennis Shoes, lol. So annoying.

Proper Nordic armor includes drinking horns mounted to the helmet, allowing easy mead access at any time.

A true Nord keeps his mead inside his belly.

I really like how the Malacath guards came out on my Stam Sorc



I think it paired well with the Vicious Ophidian chest.

The thigh guards are a part of the chest armor piece, not the legs.
