This chest armor i know its (golden saint) but why cant this be a craft-able style maybe found as pages or as a motif in daedric ruins. its the only heavy armor that is slightly revealing where i can see my tattoos. i can say same for why we cant make the dark seducer as a craftable dyeable gear...

✭✭✭✭✭Because if it were craftable, that would largely defeat the point of having it available as a costume.----

✭✭✭it exsists as an armor already in game just not craft or dyeable making it well more of a space waster in my inv since defeats that customized look purpose
i can think of so many epic looking combos to pair those armor parts with. also economy stimulation if they added dark seducer and golden saint motifs pages or books would give people alot to do in terms of dungeon hunting. maybe do same for the craglorn armor style. i know we got more motifs like glass and imperial daedric coming but for here and now if those armors already exsist in game as a set effect would be a faily simple task to add them as craftables to allow us even more gear customization.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Again, if this were craftable, there would be no point in having it as a costume reward. This is a fairly easy point to grasp.----

anyone with a armor craft past 30 probly isnt wearing that costume for the simple fact its a costume with no dyeable or incentive options to even use it..2 -

✭✭✭While its nice to look at a pair of huge jugs, bouncing brazenly in the wind, its not very good at protecting the heart and lungs underneath said jugs. From a realism standpoint, these kinds of armor sets always make me cringe.
Then again many styles make me cringe from a logical standpoint. While Daedric weapons are pretty cool to look at, they really are horrible combat design more often than not. The cutting edge often has a lot of hooks, which seemingly might be damaging, but really it just slows the blow down, and ruins your ability to make deadly cuts. I suppose its not so bad on a bludgeoning weapon.
Overall, Elder Scrolls tries to give a more realistic feel to their game (barring the obvious amazing magical elements, which at least have rules to them), so I'm not knocking the series on this point. What I am saying is that I'd rather such styles be deemed light or medium armor at best (not that anyone likes to wear heavy hardly).
Most other games have it worse. SWTOR gives the player armors with all kinds of hooks and bits that you're just as likely to hurt yourself with as anyone else. The Dual Bladed saber from a combat standpoint is ridiculous, and really more dangerous to yourself than it needs to be. They would have been better off creating something more like a polearm lighsaber/spear/naginata or a greatsword style weapon. The geometry is just terrible, and while I really enjoyed watching Darth Maul do jumps and kung fu, the Dual Saber is probably one of the worst weapons I've ever seen: Two swords would have given far better range of motion, without the chance of hacking off bits of yourself by accident. WOW and Everquest armors are even more ridiculous, and I couldn't even play those games in large part because of that.
I think my point is simple: I'd like them to limit the ridiculousness of our gear some, in favor of realism. I'm willing to suspend some disbelief, but the problem becomes rather blatant when everyone is running around naked, and doing just fine. Its an immersion killer, and I don't like it.US/AD - Dodge Hopper - Vet Imperial Templar | US/AD - Goj-ei-Raj - Vet Argonian Nightblade

Booberic Motif?
Aureal is the technical term for golden saint, though I think NPCs have used the term Auroran interchangeably despite that not being the case based on lore...

I tend to give Jedi a pass on a lot of things. In this case, I think you can cross off the "chance of hacking off bits of yourself by accident" part.dodgehopper_ESO wrote: »The Dual Bladed saber from a combat standpoint is ridiculous, and really more dangerous to yourself than it needs to be.

Being able to use the force would definitely inform their fighting styles and weapon choices, and I think we need to just accept that, in the Star Wars universe, it is an accepted fighting style.
Skimpy plate armor is definitely annoying, though. Especially in this case where the armor looks fine on male characters but dumb on female characters.0 -

Wolfshead✭✭✭✭As much as i see OP point of view in all honest if we should see much that armor you want to be carfable one how much do thing that armor would protect in all honest???
If we look at armor history wise full plate armor did make the person wear it more or less unhurt but he lost most of his movement why a half plate armor did gave the wear better movement but it cost there wear some protect.
The point i try make is that even if armor may look good and sexy it don't fit in to ESO art style on craft armor i like how craft armor look more realistic beside take WoW run around in so call "plate bikini" just look stupid and each time i see someone have a "plate bikini" i was think to myself that is teenage boy that don't have gf or that is fate old man in late 50 sit in dark room somewhere have sexy fantasy about his pixel female char and i can't take those people serious my point view.
So i think that armor should be a custom not craft armor.
PS. sorry if i hurt anyone feeling but i just tell what i think about gear that is clear only use is to make male player drool over pixelIf you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already deadWhat we do in life, echoes in eternity2 -

✭✭✭technically think of that revealing armor as a bit of half plate. also it only shows of a lil more than the orc female heavy armor. and armor wise im a sorcerer so showing off stuff is my thing lol and immersion breaking and realism? we have horses that disintegrate into thin air and 2 costumes that show off all that boobage and belly (which if your wearing them) defeats the whole immersion of what armor covers. also earier ES games arena had the whole viking g-string warlord. if anything Es has deviated from the source. but thats not the point its a fantasy game world why not let someone have the fantasy part of it? on other note try to clarify the safety of the Glass armor ad weapons doubt they have bullet proof glass? and barbaric and primal armor heavy those pretty much dont even consist of anymore than leather fur and a few bone trinkets and left over scraps of metal.... just sayin

Skulclutter✭✭✭What's the point on wearing revealing armour? It's like wearing a big target on your chest.1 -
Winnower✭✭✭✭magical armor doesn't have to cover you up to be effective.
Also: Conan and Red Sonja are classical fantasy motifs. If I wanted to be "realistic" I wouldn't play Fantasy games, I'd play with Prussian miniatures or something.
Please give us lots of skin - I have multiple toons with fancy body art that no one ever sees. I want my devastatingly handsome Redguard to be able to go around with bare arms and chest showing off how hot he is, /swoon.VR14 Templar, VR14 DK, VR8 DK, VR7 NB, VR1 Sorcerer;

im still trying to figure out how armor makes my health and stamina increase lol
Or heres an idea to limit the craziness lol allow a player to put any one single peice of gear into the costume slot gain no stats from it etc just a single cosmetic peice for cosmetic enjoyment not a full set. that way you get that one ugly as sin shoulder or helm or chest from a set you love but had to change one thing you'd drag and drop a peice of armor of the same armor tier light medium heavy into the slot and get rid of the ugly peice1 -
