ch.ris317b14_ESO✭✭✭So basically a Conan the barbarian armor set?
I got a character I just made, modeled after a 'savage' ashlander tribesman type archetype. ... Dunmer woth darkest tone available and the black/red skeleton body art and skull facial tatoo.... looks pretty mean... like a dark elf punisher.
Er-waseen's jack or whatever from the tutorial shows plenty of my guy's tribal ferocity while not being ridiculous.0 -
Darkonflare15✭✭✭✭✭I don't get how horses that appear out of nowhere when you whistle for them, and then disappear when you dismount, and wayshrines that allow you to "warp" across the continent in seconds are acceptable as "realistic" to some people but sexy armor isn't. Especailly considering it's an "M" rated game, I don't see what the deal is, really. It's not like people are asking for nude mods and "lovers lab" - esque sex mods, just some attractive armor. How are the above examples, as well as hundreds of others I could come up with not "immersion breaking" or "un-realistic", but armor that shows some exposed skin is?
I do not get why people keep talking about that ZOS is hating on revealing clothes. When it obvious that they only change Redguard and Orc armor because it is not what they envision the style of races armors should be which is why they change the armor and cleaned it up . It does not make since why an Orc female race's armor of a whole would have a boob window since it is not the nature of the Orcs to show weakness especially in heavy armor. It also does not make sense why Redguards who are the most discipline, strict and martial warriors would have light armor really skimpy but they have their medium armor and heavy cover everything up. The old light armor just did not fit with the other Redguard armors styles. It also did fit with the culture. Now there is other styles that show skin like Argonian, Barbaric, Bosmer, and the seducer costume they did not change so.
Also as we know that the term "sexy" is subjective term. I do not consider showing skin to be sexy. I love it when women wheres form fitting clothes showing their curves. To me that is sexy and most of the armor in this game fit nice and snuggly on the female character form. So most of the armor in this game is sexy to me. I find the "M" is just basic ratting that has more meanings than just showing skin. This game is rate "M" for blood and gore, sexual themes, use of alchool, and violence. Sexual themes just mean there is innuendo of sexual ideas in the game and there are.0 -

You can't compare armour (which ZOS does control) to open chat (which they don't control unless a player is reported by another) side-by-side and if you think you can then you need to grow up. I am glad they went with a better approach to armour than most other MMO's.
I hate seeing the ridiculous scantily clad armours in MMO's because women who were fighters never wore than kind of crap and high heels, etc.. in combat. The armour in this game wasn't designed around being prostitute inspired and if that's your thing then fine but go look at other games because they went with a different style which, IMO, was the better choice anyway. Sure it's a fantasy game, that's why we have magic, wayshrines, strange creatures, etc... but fantasy doesn't mean it HAS to have armor that shows more skin than amour itself. It also doesn't mean they can't go with a slightly more realistic approach to armour style than other fantasy games.
1. You are wrong, they can moderate open chat, one company moderator could do wonders, seen it happen in other MMOs, so you can broaden your expectations and not assume something is not possible. Also they could increase the number of ignores available, something already noted in this thread so you see there is more ZEN could do.
2. You like so many others argue against something not asked for, I never asked for stupid 13 year old boys vision of a girls armor, but you decided to go there anyway with your scantly clad armor comment. I asked for something less than church clothes but more than internet pron. Amazing how hard a concept that seems to be for so many, is it that so many have their minds in the gutter and are afraid of what dark desires may become if someone in the game is not in a full body suit?
Honestly do you think if a girls tummy is showing or a guy bares some upper arms then the game will turn into a mass ***?

Tolmos✭✭✭✭Honestly, I think the ridiculous armor is the giant tank-suits that you can't move around in, can't swim with etc. Gladiators had the right of it- less is more.
We're adventurers. We're not knights riding on horseback after being painstakingly placed in our saddles by squires who armored us up beforehand; we run, we jump, we climb mountains, swim, etc etc. The most realistic armor we could have is to either go all medium (no light or heavy armor at all) or to go with a sports-bra style breastplate with a bikini-like plate bottom to protect the vital parts. This is for both women AND men. Wear whatever else you want with it- a shirt and pants or whatever, but any more metal than that and your adventuring is going to, quite frankly, suck.
So to me, as far as I'm concerned, the "scantily clad" armor is infinitely more realistic than most of the heavy armor choices we have right now.Edited by Tolmos on July 10, 2015 5:27PM2 -

They changed more than those two, they also raised the neckline on many of the outfits.
Also it is great you have your vision of what attractive is, others differ and this game could easily accommodate more than just your vision without making it a burlesque, why is that such an outlandish request?3 -

Right, because sepsis exists in ESO, as does looting the corpse of another player.
Kind of a nonsense statement. Moreover, sepsis would take a while to kill, whereas you are speaking of someone being disemboweled. That's the best argument you could come up with? 1 -

I know, what is mind blowing to me is I would easily be classified and a conservative and a religious one at that. Yet I am here arguing for a much more relaxed version of the clothing available in game.

seratin✭✭✭Honestly, I think the ridiculous armor is the giant tank-suits that you can't move around in, can't swim with etc. Gladiators had the right of it- less is more..
That's a common misconception, proper armor allows for a great range of mobility, particularly because it's evenly distributed throughout the body. What you're referring to is tournament armor, which as the name suggests is not the sort of armor we run around with daily. Nothing done in game is overly unrealistic.

As far as revealing armor in game, I say sure, so long as it's relegated to cloth armor only. That way it makes a bit of sense for it to be relatively unprotected; and before you go clamoring that's it's magically protected that's not how magic works in the ESO universe. Only jewelry can be enchanted to provide protection here.1 -

You are generally right about full plate mail... lone characters would not be wearing full plate... but of course, in a medieval world... most people would never travel alone.
Medium armor has always been the most 'realistic' in terms of weight to protection and practicality.
Just don't for one instant think any part of your body is not vital.... a light slash to the inner thigh and your femoral would pump out your entire blood supply in less than 5 minutes.
A mere scratch becomes a systemic infection and you die of sepsis, blisters on your feet turn into trenchfoot or gangrene...
Dry socks are actually one of the most critically inportant things to the infantry soldier... even today.

This link does a great job of supporting what I said, while being incorrect in other parts
Talking about people other than knights who wore armor:
"Usually this would not be a complete suit of armor, but comprised at least a helmet, a body defense in the form of a mail shirt (2008.245), fabric armor, or breastplate, as well as a weapon such as a spear, pike, bow, or crossbow"
As you can see, full plate for anyone outside of knights was rare. Everyone else covered vital areas only.
Now, it also goes on to say that plate armor was actually light and easy to move in. This is extremely incorrect. Plate was heavy, and a MAJOR burden on the people who wore it. So the misconception exists: the misconception that heavy plate armor is not heavy, and is easy to move in.

Depends on who you are and how well trained you are with the equipment
I have 130 lb Marine buddies who could carry a full combat load, and move like shadows for weeks on end. Combat load is between 50 and 150 lbs.

Welcome to #gamergate, really tired of this feminist crap. Humans have relationships and both sexes have strong emotions for each other, it is very dishonest to ignore it or try to repress it in the name of a garbage politically correct agenda. Let games have fun and explore those elements, it is not inherently misogynistic nor objectifying, it is human nature and good fun.2 -

Unfortunately I find it very unlikely the choice was a capitalist one, as evidence for my skepticism see this respectful lady's comment.slipHAZARD wrote: »
I miss this armor set and the few disguises that were like it. I am a female player and I wish they would bring them back. Even if they were disguises/costumes only that we could wear and see instead of our armor. It would really liven things up, at least for me instead of seeing the same boring thing all the time.
I am pretty confident in stating the choice was not one based on market sales but instead based on current cultural politically correct busy bodies.Edited by Skwor on July 10, 2015 7:00PM0 -

✭✭They changed more than those two, they also raised the neckline on many of the outfits.
Also it is great you have your vision of what attractive is, others differ and this game could easily accommodate more than just your vision without making it a burlesque, why is that such an outlandish request?
This is a US based game. I don't think people in this country realize just how Puritan our society really is. The rest of the world does... lol
We aren't Puritan. We are terrified of lawsuits. There are two Lawyers in this country for every one person that might be "offended".
ZOS doesn't want to get sued and/or they don't want to deal with any one of the thousand special interest groups that exist in this country that will boycot their product at the slightest whim.
Whether you agree or disagree, I really think its that simple.
Personally, I think it's kinda sad.
