saw someone with a shield on his back the earlier...or rather, floating behind him.

Seriously I thought we had a decent art department but after seeing what they rolled out with the breton hero costume, I'm starting to wonder if they 'fired off' all their decent artists to save money.

I'd like a way to not see them too.

The hip flaps on the Daedric Light Armor are ridiculously too large.

They're almost comically large.

Looks horrible.

We have a toggle to hide our helmets, why not add a toggle to hide the hip-mud-flaps?

Geeee whiz, I can't agree more. I think I've been complaining about this on the forums for two years now, along with some other people. I just don't get it. They are ugly, they usually don't actually connect to the body. Why do we still have them?

No.

And I say no because without them, a lot of the armour would just look like skin tight catsuits. Medium especially.

Yes. The floating bits look awful and so out of place on some armors.

It does them no favors that they sit inches away from the character model with no means of attachment.

When was the last time you saw someone in baggy leather pants?

Not so long ago actually. But she's very thin

And? And before you go on and on about armor and realism flip through the costumes we can already wear and fight in.

Adding a toggle to turn these on and off doesnt affect the way you want to look.

A toggle? Fine. However, I think without bits to break up the design, purely because of how a lot of the armours are designed, would not look good.

They'll never do it. It gives them giggles to hear us complain about it.

One problem I have is the proportions being wrong on the armor when you have those bulky hip flaps and wear a Monster set, I think the bulky hip flaps look fine as long as you've got two bulky shoulders to balance out the look, but with one shoulder it just looks funny.

For me, I either want to be able to Transmog (or being able to Convert to Imperial would do) my Monster set (I hide the helmet anyway so all I really care about are the shoulders), or have the ability to toggle off all the bits of armor that float freely.

My problem is the proportions, and balance is how to fix it, which can be achieved either by restoring the bulky shoulders or removing the bulky flaps and plates, they'd be wildly different looks but the one thing they have in common is they are both balanced (the single odd shoulder piece looks fine as long as it's the only bulky protrusion, and I use the Engine Guardian on all my characters so it's not all that builky anyway compared to some).

I get that people like having visual cues for what armor people are wearing, but Costumes already make that argument irrelevant, there's no good reason for us not to be able to alter the style of things to make them look however we want. And anyway there's already a visual cue for most (if not all) monster sets already when their ability activates, and if any don't have one then they can be given one, so there's other ways for you to be informed about your enemies' gear without spoiling the opportunity for everyone to be able to customize their appearance however they please.

A side thought albeit slightly off topic, I'd be satisfied in a pinch with the abilty to have Monster sets to have two Shoulders equipped instead of just the one, obviously I'm only talking a cosmetic change, but it would look good enough to be getting on with I think, and it would certainly be balanced.

You may wanna take a look at some real armor before asking ZOS to remove something and I dont mean real fantasy armor either those "hip flaps" are called faulds and in some cases were only attached to the main body piece of armor by leather straps or were worn as part of a belt.
