Do You All Want More "Mature" Costumes?

@Hippie4927 What costume is that, and how/where can I obtain it? I have SO MANY ideas with that costume in mind.GreenSoup2HoT wrote: »
Agreed. Have you ever seen the kunoichi class from the Disgaea series? You'd love it.
ZOS could call it something Akaviri oriented.

smacx250✭✭✭✭✭Yes, because...I guess I need to say "yes" as I use one of the examples - Graht-Climber's Active Wear. I mean my sorc is a light armor & shield user. She doesn't really need or want to be covered head to toe when doing writs or some flower picking - she may be swimming a lot and fighting a little. For real action, she dresses more appropriately.

✭✭✭✭Yes, because...More freedom for the art department to do thier thing. They are constantly improving thier quality, so I say unshakeable their creativity.1 -
Kiralyn2000✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes, because...Sure. Not sure I'd label them "mature" though. Revealing? Or "immature", perhaps?
Also, not sure at the people saying "no, don't want that Asian/JRPG stuff here".... revealing fantasy armor/clothing, to me, is a Western thing. But then, I grew up with the D&D and novel artwork of the 70s-80s-90s - Frazetta, Vallejo, Parkinson, Elmore, Royo, Achilleos, that kind of stuff.
Still, I'd want it to fit in stylistically with the other things already in game - "summer bikinis" would clash a bit much.
(on that topic, a return chance at the Dark Shaman and fancier versions of the Graht Climber & desert dancer outfits are basically the only thing I'm waiting for in Crown Crates at the moment. Silly looking mounts? No thanks.)Edited by Kiralyn2000 on June 23, 2017 8:49PM2 -
Yes, because...
That's nonsense. That's just pandering to players libido. It doesn't make sense culturally nor is it aesthetically consistent with the Nord clothing we have already. I just don't want the game to get excessively silly.[/quote]
What if the nord travels to a warmer climate and doesnt want to get a heatstroke?

Mettaricana✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭Yes, because...Yes just because its a medieval rpg series doeant mean we cant have a sexy look thats what draws half of the people in we wanna escape reality not be bludgeoned by bucket knights... i really want a legit minimal bra or iron bikini warrior chick or a seductive mage look elven hero was a step in that direction but even zos couldnt leave that alone and messed it up for females way to go.....
And for those who argue sexy armor isnt practical or realistic your wearing a robe taking a wrecking blow to the torso and getting punched by an argonian behemoth what part of silk is protecting you?1 -
Recremen✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes, because...Yeah sure, but with a focus on like, culturally-relevant outfits and unique designs and geometry, instead of like the same handful of outfits rehashed over and over AND OVER. Like, I am 100% done with the pirate-style pants and pencil-thin boots yet here we are in Morrowind where somehow that's caught on for what looks like every one of the male fashion choices. Unique tops at least as far as I can tell, so at least there's that. And ladies get a unique top this month, but the bottom is just the Breton riding outfit done over again. Yawn and a half.
Gimme some fancy Argonian loincloths. Some scant High-Elf fishing workwear. Some Khajiit consort garb. IDK whatever, just get some unique and unconventional geometry!!Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

If the PEGI age gate is here to prevent minors from experiencing adult themes (which is a completely ridiculous idea in the age of the Internet) then the amount of skin a character shows doesn't, by itself alone, trigger those adult themes.
A woman going to a yoga class could show a lot of skin. Is it erotic? Not necessarily. Compare that to certain scenes from television shows like Game of Thrones where the actors are completely dressed but still manage to convey a sense of very adult, erotic sensuality.
I agree with you on this: the amount of skin shown is both unrealistic and not lore correct. I'm not thinking of skin tight leather and steel underwear but bare arms and legs on some types of light armor would be realistic. And not just for women. Would it be sensual? That just depends on the person.
[For example: my daughter told me to go see the new Wonder Woman movie. She said it was an inspiring movie for women. So I went to see it. Afterwards, she sent me text and asked me what I thought. "Nice legs," was my answer.]
And none of this has anything to do with how mature anyone is. I'd just want to keep it realistic and lore-friendly.
But yes. The clothing styles are a bit unrealistic in this game for this day and age that the game is set in. UNLESS! Unless if they are: Dwemer, High Elf, Imperial, or Nord societies. Bretons and Dark Elves too somewhat, although they both have their very primal and wild groups of people too. See Ashlanders and Reachmen. Most of the gear should be very... Revealing and rather rag-like. Unless of course armoring and what not.
The only primal "wild groups" likely to wear revealing clothing are those who live in tropical/sub-tropical climes. Folks like the Nords who live up in the damned mountains and snow... Wearing revealing outfits, "wild" or not, is a recipe for freezing to death, even in temperate climates it's really easy to end up sick and dying from exposure if you're not covered up.
Folk most likely to show some skin include, Argonians, Khajit, Altmer, and Bosmer (maybe some really south-dwelling Imperials). Pretty much anyone else living exposed to the elements, as the primal types do, is gonna need to bundle up.
Edit: Incidentally, if you look at the clothing choices designed by ZOS, other than the Nord towel (which is designed for hot spring bathing) they've adhered pretty closely to what I've described above.

Stania✭✭✭✭✭If it's equally sexy for both genders, good for me. Not like Golden Saint, Dark Seducer or Elven Hero costumes where only the gal version shows something. I'm tired of all these diaper-looking pants and loose tunics on male characters.
In fact, I'll buy the Balmora outfit for my male nord tank.

Is what you deem "combat appropriate", only applicable to armor or does this scrutiny carry over to weaponry as well?
Most of weapons featured in ESO are not combat appropriate, in that at the very least, they'd be too heavy, and obstructively shaped to wield effectively. If a sense of realism is imposed on armor, why then do weapons get a pass?

This is incredibly true as well. In fact, if you go back and look into the game Morrowind, there is an area rumored to have had held Dwarven lesbian entertainment. All jokes aside. The ruins in Mournhold. It was called "Bamz-Amschend". Here's a Reddit post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Morrowind/comments/12lvu1/naughty_dwemer/Edited by Ch4mpTW on June 24, 2017 2:26AM1 -

✭✭✭✭No, because...Not really. Just don't see a need for it. The games where everyone's running around in their underwear tend to end up looking trashy in the long run (or at the beginning, sometimes). This game is visually so pretty with the clothing details, it doesn't need naked butts hanging out. ;D3 -
