So Apparently my Khajiit is a Space Marine Now...

I just took notice that my Khajiit's light Dunmer epaulets... well, they look like this now.

I'm pretty sure they didn't look like that before, and just to check I looked for some older screenshots of her. I couldn't find many that were too close up, but I did try to at least recreate the angle, camera distance, and emote to check the proportions and... yeah.


Before (keep in mind, this was back around Thieves Guild release, when /idle2 didn't strangely twist their shoulders forward):

After:

So maybe Space Marine is a bit of an exaggeration, but there's still a definite size increase and enough to look rather... ridiculous, frankly, on a small-framed female. What is up with this? Is this a bug? I definitely hope so, and I hope that they can fix it soon. If not then... why? Why change it? It was just fine as it was, nestled just right on the shoulder and pointy but... small enough to not be too ridiculous. Right now it seems like my character wouldn't be able to walk next to someone without gouging their eye out with her shoulder pieces. I noticed that the Bosmer medium shoulders have gotten the same... enlargement. Please, ZOS, don't go full WoW. Never go full WoW. It doesn't fit your art style, at all.

If it's not a bug then I may need to find a new motif for my character, which would make me sad because I rather like how she looks in it... and it's also all legendary quality. That would sting to decon all for the silly shoulder size.

    Atleast it wasn't just me. My floating Sellistrix shoulder looks even more stupid.

    Shoulders are a problem since... I don't even know when...
    Just to name another problem, far as I can tell, ANY shoulder armor is hovering right over the character model.

    Despite the numerous thread about the matter, nothing has been done.
    So I doubt they'll do anything for this new one...

    That's scout or sister of battle shoulders at most, not even close to real marines. :tongue:

    I hope it's a bug and not ZOS thinking, hey shoulder pieces in WoW look pretty cool.

    One thing I like about ESO is the reasonable size of epaulets.

    They should have made the teeny-tiny shields bigger instead...

    There is a section in the patch notes about changing armor appearance when they feel,there's an issue. I recall seeing several notes about female character armor and clipping. Maybe that will answer your question.

    Sadly this does seem like something Zos would do.

    You know a lot of these shoulders look like they are floating?
    If we make them bigger it will cover up some of the gap....

    Fully agree on that. Just look at the Imperial shields. They're supposed to be big, towering shields they can plant the base into the ground and form a battle line with. What do we get? Well, they barely cover the whole torso.

    If you're going to pick a piece of armor to enlarge randomly, do it to shields!

    I always use a crafted shield now. The Pact motif is just too awesome looking not to use.
