    I would love to see this type of armor in game for my guys. I only have two, I'd love for them to be skimped out even if it isn't "Elder Scrollish". We almost have it with Argonian armor but it isn't quite there.

    Guild Wars 2 has some really great stuff. I have my guys there decked in gladiator and barbarian armor.

    Hm, you find this sexy?- To me that is not really attractive, all what comes to mind with it is, that this guy has put in more time into crafting his body shape than in acquiring knowledge. And I prefer men with a brain over those with a perfect body.
    so you're saying it's impossible to be both attractive and smart
    on topic though, i'm all for skimpy outfits for both genders, as long as the outfits look good in themselves and don't just try to be 'naked but not rly'

    Well, a sophisticated man will most likely not wear something like this. I like those upcoming noble suits for men and the middle-class outfits a lot better. All i am saying is that if I would have to choose, I would go for the sophisticated guy, who does not have to show off his body to be attractive. Maybe that is female, but I rather prefer to guess what he is like under his clothes than to actually see it right away.

    Well, I'm female and I like to see what's under a man's clothes. I don't want to guess. Sexy men are sexy whether they are in barbarian outfits or in a suit. I don't like the town clothes for men in the game. They are pretty awful. I like them better on females.

    What about this one?

    gp_crwn_costumes_redguardmalemid_1x1.jpg

    it could as well look nice on a female.

    As far as the brocade robe goes, I agree - it is perfect for my dark skinned Reguard, even her hairband matches the color of the robe.

    Edit. What is under his clothes is not any interesting to me, if he is not pleasing my intellectual needs. I prefer intelligence and knowledge, social competence and i want him to be a gentleman. If that all is fulfilled, then I might be interested what is under his clothes. But I do not want his body straight into my face by no reason.

    I don't mean to be annoying but I'm struggling to understand what all this talk about personality and intelligence has to do with a computer game? It sounds like you're talking about your IRL preferences when we're discussing virtual costumes.

    When it comes to being sexy, this is not just virtual, virtual entities have no feeling for sexy, that is then addressing the real person in front of the screen. And so I put my feelings with this forward, because naked skin is not per se sexy to me, it takes more than this. I know that most males experience this differently, so they might not know that their pure body has no effect without the other things, I mentioned. At least not to me and women like me. We want more than this.

    Yes, I think as well some additional "shadows" are painted on his six pack.

    Edit: and I am not against exercising at all, I do it myself on a regular basis. But I do not overdue it, and this guy's body (if it is his's at all) looks more like a protein grave on steroids and this is not sexy to me.

    fair enough. for the record i'm female as well so i know where you're coming from, but if you erase someone's personality (as you would in a computer game because the toons have none), there's certainly a thing called a sexy male body.

    but yeah, as i said earlier, i don't care for sexy, nor am i bothered about it - i just want cool outfits for both males and females. skimpy or not. and for the sake of equality (and respect imo), if there's skimpy outfits for females, then let there be skimpy for males.

    It is actually possible for a bloke to go round shirtless anyway - just use some of the NPC clothing you can 'borrow' from unguarded containers and put on a nice pair of shabby NPC trousers and not much else.

    The problem with this idea is that it isn't a COSTUME and therefore it negates our armor rating and crafted set bonuses. The point people are making is that we want costumes that are revealing; ZOS gives us the option to add tattoos on men but little option to actually show them off in-game. For people that argue about "lore", keep in mind that in our own human history, one of the most feared warriors were the berserkers, who often ran into battle completely naked. So technically, wearing less armor is not "lore-breaking" for men because I'm sure there were groups in ES history which were similar.

    That's what I think, too.

    They fit, so I have no issue with them.

    Also they are going to introduce a couple of revealing male clothes too, according to the latest datamining thread.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

      The short answer is that there was quite a bit of demand on the forums for skimpier clothing for females. This has been a huge request since the game launched. I agree, the males need sexy clothes too.

      So much this. I have seen plenty of this. And it was often women calling for something more feminine and/or sexy.
