Options to hide more than just helmet

AcadianPaladin · December 2016

Because there is no difficulty slider and I am not an elite player, I find it pretty important to keep my char in full armor. I am grateful that I can hide the helmet but wish there were options to hide other bits of the armor as well. I play a fragile light armor character and would love to hide the shoulder bits and sometimes the gloves. Even the pants maybe – a short tunic coming down to mid-thigh looks adorable. I can imagine that some players would enjoy hiding their top sometimes as well for a barbarian or cute bra only look.

I know there are costumes and I gratefully use them quite a bit, but I would also really appreciate the ability to show off some of the nice armor – just without all the pieces showing sometimes and not taking a survivability penalty.

Since we already have the hide helmet option, I would imagine that adding hide options for each of the other slots would not be a big challenge.

Yes please. Pants restrict me too much.

cyberjanet · December 2016

If we can't craft skins to cover armour we like the stats of but not the look, that could be an option.

Costumes don't work for me. Mainly 'cause I haven't found (m)any I like. My Redguard Nightblade girl looks like a bad Drag Artist in the wedding dress, for example. My Argonian was okay with the Mannimarco outfit; he's the only one it suited. I can't see him in a mid-thigh tunic with hidden pants though, it would be anything but adorable.

I'd like to show those tattoos or body paintings. Usually the go to costume here is the one pirate's outfit. Not really a fan of those pants but you do what you gotta do.

We don't need people running around naked in raids and PvP. Hiding helm is sufficient. Anything else is a big huge no.

Same reason we don't have the lame dancer outfits SWTOR has. Those costumes are for children.

I just want to be able to hide the Helmet and Shoulders.

I know it is too much to ask to hide those flippity flappity panels on the sides of the hips, but I will throw that out there too.

Also, if they ever open up all the crafting materials to all levels, there are some skirts that can be worn from the Argonian Medium Armors in the 20's that look really nice and still give you the Legs armor bonus.

But keep your hands on the desk, please

I suppose the idea has some extent of sense, I don't need it tho.

Hee! I would be happy to promise never to go on a raid or do pvp if I can hide the bits of armor I want to hide.

I would like a "Hide Belt" option. Some of the belts don't look very good, or float out in front of my character.

AcadianPaladin · December 2016

Yes. See mostly I want to hide the silly shoulder wingie flappers but if we can hide one or two items, why not just provide the freedom and flexibility for players to hide whatever they prefer. More choices is good because you don't have to avail yourself of them. Yet those who want to can.

I figure groups, guilds, pvp'ers can come to any mutual agreement they want regarding use of the option if they see fit.

Hide hip flaps!

bellanca6561n · December 2016

Of course this thread would take its natural "interesting" turn but it has merit, especially for shoulder armor as @Nestor said, though I think those odd hip flaps, as @Enemy-of-Coldharbour wants, would be more of an issue. They appear to be integral to the armor itself rather than a simple matter of hiding an armor piece.

I post this screenshot again because it's a good example of clever character customization using a body tattoo and the Dark Shaman costume.

It's also a great case for being able to hide portion of the costumes beyond the helmet, such as those bizarre shoulder and arm pieces.

Abeille · December 2016

I would like to be able to at least hide gloves, shoulders and shoes too, for both armor and outfits. Especially the shoes. My Bosmer doesn't like shoes.

NewBlacksmurf · December 2016

I just want to hide hip flaps. Other than that I'm ok with using a disguise or costume

I don't oppose this tho

You are free to run amok in Cyrodiil in nothing but your undies. DC NA has a certain large pasty Orc that inspires our troops to victory

AlienSlof · December 2016

I'd be content with hide shoulders and hip flaps. I use costumes most of the time now because I can't hide those pieces. I'm not a fan of the over-sized floating shoulders and hips... on a robe, for example! A ROBE... :P

Everybody looks like a bad drag artist in that wedding dress. Some nice costumes out there though, and you can also wear disguises once you've done the quest.

Drummerx04 · December 2016

I've sort of grown accustomed to the hip flaps, but the floating giant awkward shoulder pieces still annoy me. As far as I can tell, the issue seems to be that the pieces don't scale in size based on your character size, so large characters can wear grothdar, illambris, kena, etc and is appears to sit nicely on their shoulder, but when my petite breton magsorc wears them they are enormous and float a solid 6 inches off her shoulder. This is lame.

And the next person wants more saying you allowed @Nestor to hide his shoulders.

Stovahkiin · December 2016

I'd be fine with hiding stuff like the shoulders and belts since they do indeed look ugly sometimes, but can you imagine what towns would look like if everyone could hide their chest/leg pieces?

Woeler · December 2016

Hide underwear please.

I mean... uhm... well...

There used to be a bug that made that happen from time to time when TG launched.

Let me hide all other players from the game.
I'll just pretend chat is just all the little voices in my head.
