Do you prefer and wear costume or outfit?

akl77

And why?

DMuehlhausen

Outfit

They really do need to make dyes look more uniform though now with this new outfit system. It can be tricky getting colors to match when your mixing weights, and motiff styles now.

Turelus

Costume

Currently a costume because it offers something I've not been able to replicate well in the outfit system.

That being the ordinators metal armour with skirt look, I found some close but not what I wanted.

VaranisArano

Depends

Outfit during gameplay for looks. Costume when I want to show my guild on my Nameplate but want to hide my guild tabard.

Meld777

Both. Weapons from Outfit, rest Costume.

akl77

Costume

I still prefer costume cos I just don’t want to wear shoes and gloves on my toon, and only costume can do that.
I prefer running around barefoot in dungeons, unless I can also hide shoes and gloves.

Both. Now, when they let you use parts of costumes with other armour in the outfit system they will be on to a winner.

Same for me.

Aquanova

Costume

It's easy. Just put it on and Walla....

The outfit system was not what i was asking for. I wanted a way to reforge my armor permanently into what ever style i learned using mimic stones, not having to use a whole new system to create costumes that i have to pay for slots per piece and spend more money.

OlafdieWaldfee

Outfit

I prefer outfits, because they are much more unique.
Never seen anybody else dressed up exactly like this:



I really, really, REALLY wish for ZoS to change their minds and give us accountwide slots for that giant 1500-Crowns-pricetag, though.
It limits creativity when you have only one slot to play around with.

Yea the pay part is

Depends on the character I am playing and what kind of content I am doing, in addition to who I am playing with.

RaddlemanNumber7

Depends

The characters who already have costumes that suit their personality continue to use them. Those characters who didn't have good costumes have been given more appropriate outfits.

Morgul667

Costume

Cause the outfit system shows tabard and the outfit slot price is ridiculous

emilyhyoyeon

Costume

I vote costume because my characters use costumes mostly and the costumes that I like I REALLY like, but my main uses an outfit and the oufit works better than any costume for her

Kendaric

Depends

Depends on the character and situation.

For example, my Morag Tong assassin uses a costume while doing every day stuff and only wears his "duty" outfit while on the job. My Warden, on the hand, wears his outfit all the time.

ak_pvp

Personally, outfits. Because I have a really thematic one. Too many silly floaty shoulders though.

If they bring back dragon priest costume, then that. I feel like it might next crates. (Scalecaller, fitting, other dragon priest hats have been datamined.)

SGT_Wolfe101st

Depends

I would like to wear an outfit, I have made some really nice looking costumes, but 20-25K to wear something I have already earned isn't cool to me so I don't. I was so excited for this and I played with it for about 30 min, and every combination that I like was too much gold.

reiverx

Costume

I made an outfit for two of my characters. They look ok but they're too expensive to make and the extra slots are such a con.

I think I'm about done with outfits.

One of the reason I prefer costumes. I can't handle those floating shoulders... Same with some shoes (where there is a thing which float in front the knee, like the Outlaw shoes. I don't know how to explain better in English. I hope it's understable.)

Appleblade

Costume

I never realized how many motifs do not take lighter colors well until this. I have a simulated Snow Elf who I like to dress in white and very light blue. I set all the color swatches to my best light blues and whites, and browse the motifs. Some of them you’d think aren’t even dyed. Altmer robes get the closest of the ones I have. The two Morrowind costumes meanwhile dye to a perfect snow white and icy blue.

And if ZOS wanted to really make money from this, they’d make it so you could purchase any missing motif chapter right there in the outfit interface for crowns like you can buy housing items in the housing interface.

So at the moment, it’s a combo of costumes and outfit slot to dye weapons.

Don't have a tabbard on, and then you get one free Outfit slot...

Kali_Despoine

Depends on if they let me #hidetalbard soon
Otherwise costume

My characters, for the most part, wear outfits for combat situations, and their civilian type costumes elsewhere.

Glockcoma725

Costume

Oohhh mann the Covenant Scout costume with all black with small red accents. Looks so sweeeeettt

EvilAutoTech

Other

On many of my low level characters I don't use either outfit or costume because the actual armor fits with my image for them.

True. Floaty/bulky knee and elbow pads limit my selection.

So many outfits lighter dyes luck mucky and with hints of brown. Kind of annoying. I personally just go with black+different accents depending on class for all my characters.

Outfit

Outfits are too cool not to use. If it weren't for the high gold cost, I'd likely re-outfit almost every day.

...has anyone put out an outfitting addon yet that lets you "save" outfits for future use without saving them to an actual outfit slot?

Right now I'm wearing the nord hero costume with no helm over my outfit, but I go back and forth. Once i get the rest of the apostle motif, I will be wearing a mix of that in all weights (came up with it messing around on the PTS).

I only started crafting and collecting motifs a few months ago, and have not spent gold on any, so my outfit selection is pretty limited.

I just wear my gear, just like before the patch. I haven't touched the outfit system
