Give us Swimsuits to buy!

Navaeh · June 2017

I've played a few medieval MMOS and I've seen them implemented pretty well before. I know it's a touchy subject for some people, but I think a lot of people would buy them. I've played ESO for over a year now, and I think it would also be good to give us something different than what we have been offered already in the crown shop. I have done my research and I have seen both sides, and there are some against the idea of swimsuits, but I think we can find a good medium for that.

If we implemented swimsuits, or skimpy outfits for men and women it would make a lot of people happy. I believe that if we don't add swimsuits, we could at least implement barbarian style outfits for men and women. Barbarian style bikinis and or loin clothes are pretty practical, and revealing at the same time. I don't think something that would touch both mediums would upset people.

I have gone through a lot of the forums history, and there are many people who want more revealing outfits, and I agree with this. Regardless if you don't release more revealing outfits, give us more outfits then what are in the crown store now. Please and thank you Zenimax

I would love to hear what others in the community have to say about this! Btw this is my first forum post, and this is something I feel strongly about.

Would be fun to have these be a lead on to social events like swimming competitions (with underwater content), etc

My characters have a fashionable black speedo trunks or bikini that they can wear.

On a related note: I am surprised that people have not been clamoring for underwear recolors, or at least something other than black.

I don't think ZOS shies away from skimpy outfits... it's just a matter of being there at the right time to get them.

You see people with the Nordic Bathtowel (the swimwear you get from the New Life Festival) all the time, if you're talking lore-appropriate swimwear, and one of my Khajiits usually wears the Sand-Kissed Salwar Ensemble.

The fact is that Elder Scrolls, as a franchise, has never been about titillation. Already, ESO offers more revealing options than anything you'd ever find in the single player games. What they do right about it, imo, is that they make sure even the skimpier outfits are interesting and/or lore appropriate.

Meanwhile, I've played other MMOs, too... the ones that let you run around in a bright pink bikini or bare loincloth if you want to. I personally find it tacky, but to each their own. Sorry to hear that you either missed or aren't satisfied with the options I've listed, but I think the balance ZOS has struck here is just about perfect.

Please no.

Please don't turn ESO into a fetish simulator

You haven't played Daggerfall if you think the single player games didn't have anything more revealing than ESO :0

Ah asian teenage boys everywhere may rejoice. The OP is taking up there cries for digital spedos on digital women. Gotta love those japanese and korean fetishes.

On a serious note. I don't care either way so long as it doesn't look more out of place than whats already available. And we already have access to the loin cloth and the elvish sportswear.

emilyhyoyeon · June 2017

as long as the swimsuits "follow the lore" then more outfits are great. as of now I would just use the base underwear

TheShadowScout · June 2017

It -would- be nice to have some alternatives to the nordic bather towel for ice diving or other beach activities (do we get to have beach activities in ESO? Maybe someday, one could hope...)

At the very least some linen loincloths, japanese fundoshi and similar... I mean, I am sure we all can imagine...

...okay, so maybe we don't have to!

There certainly will also be a lot of other "traditional" outfits from all across the world, though with many of those ZOS may wish to add some chest cover fopr the female version as to protect delicate modern sensibilities from spotting a -gasp- uncovered female mammary or two! (and themselves from any possible... legal issues that may arise when someone decided to feel offended by the sight)

Of course, looking at things historically... well... that might aggrivate the aforementioned issue, seeing how throughout the ESO-equivalent historical time peroiod, people were generally not bothering to wear much of anything when hopping into the waters...

The "underwear" on our characters looks more like swimwear than undies.
