Flavour and Immersion

I'm sure many of you have seen the datamined upcoming Crown Store items.

A thing I would like to know and think would be great is whether certain racial NPC's could wear the Crown Store attire to add flavour to them as a race.

For example, being able to see Wood Elves in Grahtwood wearing these:

Or noticing a difference between upper and lower class Bretons and Reguards with these:

Breton Low

Breton High

Reguard Mid

Redguard High

I think seeing NPC's wearing this type of stuff could really enhance the world by showing the races with their different Racial attire and just, in general be a cool addition.

Thoughts?

    You made some very good points. I hope ZOS listens to this one.

    I 100% agree! The more we can see Crown Store items in-game the better. Full stop. By having the Crown Store items player character only there is a weird rift that is formed between the player and the rest of Tamriel. It's like the player is not "of Tamriel" they are of this weird and wonderful place called "CrownStoria". :lol:

    Cheers, I like the idea of races wearing their own cultural clothing rather than all NPC's wearing the same 5 clothing outfits across all Tamriel

    Yeah, I've always thought it was a bit weird. Especially when they added those 'Redguard Female Attire' where Zero Redguard females actually wear the attire.

    I agree. It's a bit difficult to buy the whole "cultural garb" idea when no members of that particular culture are actually wearing the outfits, then there is another problem:

    For example, Queen Maraya the wife of High King Emeric

    looks like a peasant next to someone wearing:

    It would also be a nice way to advertise the costumes IMO; you see an NPC wearing a cool outfit and you suddenly want it more. :tongue:
