fashion witch ensemble visual bug

Anyone notice that the costume turns the characters hair purple?

I don't know if it's the hat doing it. or the costume. I've only previewed it, not purchased.

Seems to be only if you don't use "Hide your helm" option. I'm not much into hats/head armor, so hair is normal for me.

Alphawolf01A

Ah, good. I don't use hats much either. I wonder if the hair color changes depending on the color of the hat?

TaSheen

Good question. I'll have to check on that later....

Alphawolf01A

Thank you, much appreciated.

It doesn't change the hair color. The purple part (yellow circle) is some type of hair bonnet. The red circle is my character's hair (blonde).

Why they gave the costume a hair bonnet is a different question, though.

TaSheen

Yes, the "bonnet" part does change color with the hat.

This is Birch White:

Could be. I still think it looks more like hair, and since most hats override the hairstyle, i think someone goofed and that part of the "hat" doesn't recognize the players hair color so it defaults to the hat color. Dunno. Could be wrong and it could be an intentional part of the hat. If so, then bad call on the designers part.

Alphawolf01A

I see the bonnet now. You are right emilyhyoyeon. I couldn't see the seam on the back.
Thank you both.

Alphawolf01A

As the saying goes, "It's not a bug. It's a feature". LOL

I was actually really looking forward to this costume. The bonnet thing at the back is extremely disappointing to me. I REALLY don't want to wear a shower cap under my hat.

This irks me in the same way that gaudy, over-the-top tassets irk me; the way they make most hats completely remove your hair.
I don't understand the continued use of this aesthetic, when the Wolfhunter hat (as one example) simply alters one's hairstyle a bit, but leaves your hair on your head and visible.

This is what the Barbaric Windblown hairstyle looks like with the Wolfhunter hat on...

I believe that the Witch’s Infernal Hat from completing Witches Festival Writs also displays the hair. If I remember correctly.

Also, since i don't really use hats much, can you use a different hat with a costume that comes with one, or is it locked to the matching hat?

thankfully you can use a different one. The witch hat is a good alternative, good idea. The costume is otherwise really nice I think, I like it a lot

I guess I will be getting the costume as well. I really like the look of it. Without the hat and some color changes, It would make for some nice fancy adventuring gear. Kind of reminds me of outfits from movies like Three Musketeers, that time period and area.

I like the costume but don't care for the included hat. No hat or any other hat works fine.

The costume itself seems to dye nicely. The silk shirt is one dye slot. The tunic, forearm part of the gauntlets and leg part of the boots is one dye slot. The pants, bracelets, belt, fingers and feet are one dye slot.

I'm pretty sure the hair has to be modeled with the hat. This is why if you change through all your hairstyles, while wearing a hat, some hats will only show up to three or four different styles (and usually not the one you're actually using), some will only have a single style, and some will just replace hair with something else entirely (like a shower cap/bonnet).

The costume does look good without its hat.

Indeed, and nice dye choices to coordinate with your mount and pet!

I just wish it were a style rather than a costume as I’d like to use those boots and pants with other tops as well!

I'm on the opposite boat, I like the top but not the boots, so I'm still on the fence about this costume, but yeah it would be great if these were offered separately so we could mix and match.

Anyone else notice this costume doubles the size of your hindquarters? Especially while you're running. Wondering if this effect is only visible on smaller characters.

TaSheen

I've got it on a smallish Altmer character. Standing, it really doesn't make her rear look larger, but when moving the sides of the "flaps" (which thankfully do NOT flap....) seem to flare out from her body slightly.

It's not nearly as bad as some things - like whatever the short version of Moonlit Cove Sojourner's Wraps is called (it was in the store a few weeks back).

I noticed more that it makes my hair short, but I don't mind hiding the hat.

Otherwise, the outfit is beautiful. One of the best they've done. And yes, it does make my rear look gooood.
