ZOS we need to talk about this outfit.

So this has turned up in a datamine.
You know when the new vampire costume came out my first thought was, "Wow I wish they had made a gown in that same kind of style!" And instead they apparently did THIS. The TOP is gorgeous. But... what the Hades were you thinking when you designed the bottom ZOS??? BOOTY SHORTS??? REALLY??? And boots. And, worst of all... the dreaded crotch flap. For the love of the Divines PLEASE rethink this! It's bloody AWFUL! Either give it a full length skirt or PANTS and, by all that is holy, get RID of the crotch flap. I'm begging you here. This is ridiculous.
Editing to add some things.
Disclaimer This conversation is experiencing some derailment as people argue about whether or not it's okay to have skimpy or sexy outfits. That's absolutely not the topic here. I called them booty shorts because that's what they are. I offered no judgement on those who wear booty shorts in real life. The problem with the outfit is that it is a terrible mishmash of conflicting styles that, individually, are perfectly okay, but that thrown together this way look absolutely terrible.
ZOS has done skimpy outfits right in the past. Here's an example:
It looks like something that belongs in Tamriel. If they want to make an outfit with the style of shorts they are using on this vampire costume I'm all for it. But please put them with an outfit that makes sense. Tamriel is woefully low on swimwear. By all means, hook us up!
Now as to the outfit in question, here's your obvious fixes ZOS:
Still sexy. No ridiculous flaps. Clearly, you already know how to do this since you've done it twice. If you're determined to change it up give us some different boots. Maybe some below the knee.
OR just give it a simple elegant skirt like this one:
Better still... make it in both options. I'd buy them both in a heartbeat.
You made a lot of people really mad when you stuck pants on the Elven Hero costume even though the character that wears it in the trailer certainly showed some bare thigh. This is not the way to fix that.

✭✭✭Yes, I find this really distasteful. The vest, the shorts, the flap, none of the pieces of this outfit work together. It looks like one of those "sexy Halloween costumes." It should have (tight) pants, no flap, no window, and the coat should have tails. I think that'd make it a good outfit.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨21 -

Yes 100%!! Add a full length skirt plzzzzz 😊😊😊😊
It would look so amazingly beautiful and bad ass in that material for us girl gamers 🦇

✭✭✭✭✭I love the OP's description. It is funny. Had me thinking of who wears short shorts then adding in the thigh-high boots while finishing it all off with ESO's infamous crotch flaps which destroy the appearance of pretty much any outfit.
Anyhow who gets the "who wears short shorts" reference will show their age.7 -
Nareya726✭✭✭No offense to anyone who likes it, but I'm really not a fan of the shorts either. I'd love to see it made into a gown, but even changing the shorts to leggings with the thigh-high boots would be a vast improvement for me. I don't mind sexy outfits, but this one just feels way too out of place.8 -

And even if you like 'stripper outfits', that crotch flap is awful. Who designed this mess?
edit: and yeah, it would be better with either a skirt or pants. Although pants might make it too close to the Holiday in Balmora outfit.Edited by Kiralyn2000 on July 14, 2020 3:42AM6 -

I think I would actually prefer it with leggings as well. The flap being so much longer than the shorts looks rather strange to me. As a side note, can we get some calf length boots for a change? It seems like every single costume comes with the thigh boots. I'd love to see some below the knee instead of over it.3 -

Ooh, new datamine?
But I have to agree about that outfit. It would look gorgeous with a full skirt like the Breton Coin dress or Oblivion's Finery costume.3 -

Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis2 -

✭Holy ***, my first reaction was, "I need that, stat. Where can I get my grubby hands on it". ZOS, please leave it as it is.
Okay maybe if I had one small gripe it would be to shorten or remove the crotch flap, it's kinda in the way. But that's that.8 -
Tigerseye✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭With these conflicting messages (daring shorts, but with a super-modest crotch flap), it's like they are trying to please all the people, all the time, but ending up pleasing no one.
Also, what exactly are they covering?
The only private parts game characters can have are the ones the devs decide to give them.
Meaning, if they don't give them any, they are like dolls down there; completely smooth.5 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's more or less the traditional female Dunmer outfit, without skirt and with a very weird tailcoat, gloves and crotch flap added.@Syldras | PC | EU
