A Petty Request for Belts - Hip Flaps in General

Make Hip Flaps dependent on the Waist Motif instead of the Chest Piece Motif

It'll allow players to pick which hip flaps, or lack of hip flaps, they like. While not sacrificing much, as belts aren't visibly that discernible anyway.

    Yes please.
    So many great chest motifs ruined by flappy bits.

    Omg I love this thread so much!
    Who was it anyway, that said all armour needs to have awkward looking hip flaps, so even the cool styles look kinda bad.
    Probaly the same inspired mind that gave us cost poisons, procsets and zaan...

    As long as there still remained Belt options without any flaps then I'm very much behind this.

    I saw this over in PTS and thought it was a fantastic idea. This is definitely worth some consideration and makes the "belt" slot make a lot more sense.

    I don't understand people's obsession with this. The only ones that are really bad are the Khajiiti ones.

    Unless of course you sheath your weapons into your hip flaps. Then they all look bad.

    This makes a lot of sense. Just reading the pages for many Belt motifs they explicitly describe the belt AND the tassets, which means they are part of the belt and not the chest.

    That would be the assumption. Choose a belt that has no hip-flaps (Mazzatun seems an obvious choice), and you're golden.

    I would consider this a huge QOL change. There are some cool hip adornments (Breton light, Assassins League heavy) that I'd love to mix and match with other chest pieces.

    Good idea, OP, but add the crotch and bum flaps to the belt, too.
