Floating hip flaps and croch flaps

BlueViolet

I hate hip flaps, and they keep making armour's with massive tassets. It looks hideous. I don't mind some crotch or bum flaps, some look ok, but I also take issue with the addition of all these ugly scarf bits on armour lately, that cannot be dyed.
PLEASE STOP DOING THAT! if you must add ugly scarves, please at least let us dye them.

There's also still the issue of long hair clipping into shields since we're at it.

It seems to be a style thing for ESO.

I actually don't mind* them.


* They have been there for so long that I no longer care that they are there.

It does seem to be a style choice, but I can't help but wonder why they aren't part of costumes at the same rate

They float to accommodate body sliders.

My thicc hips sit better in them than my thinner chars, but I have a thing for pretty dresses and almost exclusively wear costumes on my main.

To be fair. Is there an MMO where Weapons dont float?

That being said. The Hip Flaps and the lack of Capes is the most annoying thing about character-graphics by far. I hate not having a Cape in a Fantasygame sooo much.

I'm not sure how it works on the engine ESO uses so I could be wildly missing the mark here, however if this was the Creation engine which I am more familiar with that would involve:

- Creating a new skeleton with further attach points (possibly more than one? not sure if bestial races and humanoid races share skeleton).

Then

- Splitting the mesh.
- Editing the textures.
- Assigning attach points to the newly created split meshes.
- Rigging the meshes to the new skeleton.
- Adjusting the meshes and textures to minimise clipping/tearing etc.

For each and every single piece that has 'hip flaps' or 'crotch flaps'.

Then

- Developing the 'logic' (if is not built-in already) that allows showing/hiding these new meshes 'on the fly'.

Obviously these are game developers, they may have tools, knowledge and expertise that makes the process far less time consuming and 'trial and error' based than when modding but still, seems like a humongous undertaking given the plethora of styles currently in the game.

It would be nice don't get me wrong, I'd love it myself, but I just don't know how realistic a expectation it is.

If they can do it with costumes, they can do it with the regular gear.

This has been requested SOOOOO many times. ZoS - enough with the ugly hip flaps. At least stop releasing boring new styles that have them.

Just give us the option to HIDE 'ALL' armor pieces- like FFXIV does; not like our characters would be completely naked. But with the number of skin options available, it would be nice to show off our custom skin instead of being forced to have it mostly covered by armor.

that would be nice too, but people here just want to use outfit styles without the loincloths and tassets on nearly every chest style.

even some leg styles have loincloths too,

I hate capes. They're the first thing I hide, they look stupid and stiff 99.999999% of the time.

Trying to go with all Altmer fashion but this floating hip flaps on Syrabanic chest ruins it.
I wish we had option to hide hip and croch flaps.
or
Atleast they'd stop adding flaoting hip flaps in new motifs

I highly agree. You know hooooow many armor sets I don´t use at all, cause of that flap madness? Each time ZOS add a new armor set to the game, I take a look. And as I feared, they did it again. It flaps big style, and of course the set has many times some additional monster 'side bumpers' for both legs. I only wished, ZOS would let US design some armor (sketch), for the game. And then they turn this into reality. Imagine. Less headaches for anyone.
