Do You All Want More "Mature" Costumes?

✭✭No, because...I came to ESO from korean mmos, so I'm pretty fed up with cleavageProfanity filter is a crime against the freedom of speech. Also gags.5 -

✭✭✭✭No, because...skimpy armor is the dumbest thing in rpgs ever.
It's only purpose is sexual fantasy.Edited by Iccotak on July 1, 2017 3:18AM3 -

✭skimpy armor is the dumbest thing in rpgs ever.
It's only purpose is sexual fantasy.
Or... just fantasy...
Conan is long time fantasy staple..
I was always partial to Larry Elmore's stuff...
In a world of magic, armor is really optional.
Think about it... any metal armor makes you a magnet and more suspectible to lightning magic. Cloth armor would ignite from fire magic and burn you, etc.
Not to mention, even the skimpiest armor could be enchanted to give more protection than it appears.
When the musket was invented, armor became less and less viable and more hampering. That's the reason why the musketeers wear doublets, not armor.
In a world where casters can shower a plate clad warrior in lightning and a huge troll can lob a crab, the idea of skimpy (or no) armor isn't that far-fetched.

Sorry cartoons and games don't get me there....
See, I've seen this argument before, but this one I don't get.
How is sexy "cartoon or digital" different than, say, those sexy oil paintings a few hundred years ago. Or sexy marble statues, sexy block prints, sexy etchings, sexy charcoal drawings, or heck... even sexy prose in that romance novel?
Humankind have been making "sexy" imagery in dozens of mediums for thousands of years. But pixels is somehow super wrong & deviant?
Doesn't even feel like a potentially-valid argument (as opposed to 'realism', feminism, etc), it just seems like some weird strain of Puritanism.

Even old school TES was hyper sexualised:
I'm not a fan of sexualisation in games. I prefer realism. I like the art direction of ESO (and modern TES games). Oversexualisation in the 80s and 90s was a thing because gaming was considered the domain of males, particularly pubescent boys.Edited by MLGProPlayer on July 1, 2017 3:58AM8 -

Tasear✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭No, because...I want better hats, to so off my spunky hair do. Why is reality and virtual reality not allowing me to have wear hats... so dreams are forever dreams it seems.
Also tails! I want a fluffy tail and I am sure some people would like spiked lizard tails.

dusk194✭✭Yes, because...Hippie4927 wrote: »Because this is my favorite costume. More like this would be great!
I've never see that before.... can this come back to the crown store please.
I personaly would like to see selection go both ways. I would appreciate armor's like the above picture (a mage doesn't need armor when they have a magic sheild). But i also appreciate armors like the adventurer costume with the backpack and pick axe on the back. Its functional, durable, and looks worn in like its actualy been in a delve.
I would love to see either costume come back for us late arrivals to purchase, and i would enjoy similar selections in the future.2 -

If you were a women going into battle, I doubt you'd want you're "squishy bits" getting hurt.
And there's enough hentai based armor from mods in skyrim.
If you're talking about costumes not armor, maybe... I just don't want it to go overboard.
The reason I like elder scrolls is because not everything with women involved is sexualized like with other games.
But you’d be Ok with a game full of extreme violence, murder, gore and whatnot?MY CHARACTERS
