Someone at ZOS made a really awesome robe without hip flaps but could they leave it alone? NO!! They looked at it and thought, "This robe needs something. But what? Oh, I know.....I'll hang books off the hips!"
Why couldn't they just leave it alone?!! In the history of all time, was this ever a 'thing'? I think not, at least, I've never seen that anywhere before.
And, for those that don't know............it is the Fanglair robe.

I will admit, it looks better than the hip flaps but it doesn't make sense to me for a mage to have their books hanging on their hips.LifenLemons wrote: »Stop! Or I'll read you to death.... XD

✭✭Books are okeish imo. There is also the similar chest piece with phials instead of books which you can farm in BGs (phials are less.... intrusive?). Yet, it is a horrid grind.
But what I really don't like regarding the chest piece (both fang lair and BGs ones) is the flap at the front on a jerkin version of the chest. It's really hard to make a satisfying look when you try to combine that jerkin with any type of breeches. Zeni, if I wanted something fluttering between my legs, I would choose a robe! Jerkins shouldn't have that sort of thing.9 -

Agree, hate lots of the oversize hip flaps but books, pouches or daggers are fine.MLGProPlayer wrote: »I actually don't mind the books. They make sense on a mage motif style.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.2 -

I don't doubt that for a second. I mean there's been a time once or twice where an NPC tried to talk me to death and almost succeeded. Hence me asking the creators for a violin like we have with the lute. At least then, I can make the moment more sad for them. Especially when you repeat a quest with a second character. Lol
I really do love ESO though.Occasional Online Opinionated Flyby Conversationalist // Part Time Coffee Addict // Hobosapien // Casual Gamer // SAST0 -

I though there was another motif with fang something which didn't have the books. Can't remember which ones though. Maybe fanged worm? Or another...٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

I haven't seen the outfit myself in-game yet, but I totally agree with you here. I understand why it would be included the outfit but it's definitely not easy on the eyes.Occasional Online Opinionated Flyby Conversationalist // Part Time Coffee Addict // Hobosapien // Casual Gamer // SAST0 -

Well, if I had to choose, I would prefer the chest without these books for sure. I mean they are just not that irritating to me
What a pity though that books are not a part of belts (which would make more sense) rather than chests. 2 -

Ordinarily, I wouldn't care because I don't like most of the armor, anyway. But this one irritates me because I really, really like this armor and just wonder why whoever at ZOS feels a need to always hang stuff from the hips.Someone at ZOS has a fetish for giant hip hanging objects.

weapons clip through them badly, think devs have given up making motifs that don't clip, even with other parts of the same motif in some cases
