Some shields appear way too small

By the Eight, how in Oblivion can this little shield block so much damage?
But seriously, please consider adjusting the sizes of some of the shield styles

Wolfshead✭✭✭✭And on female char some shield look and feel way to big vs the char and honest it look really stupid that shields is ssssoooo bigIf you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already deadWhat we do in life, echoes in eternity6 -
NetViperX✭✭✭✭It always bugged me that the Imperial shields look like that, it was the same in Skyrim. The Imperials are based on Romans, give us a big rectangle Roman style shield.1 -
Weasel_Tunneler✭✭✭One of the reasons I hated 1 handed shield, those small plates you use to block giant daedra attacks LMAO.0 -

✭I love the Imperial armor, minus the medium helmet (flipping wings?) And the shield...2 -
bigted209✭✭✭Dwemer is the same... love the styling of the shield, but far too small... good fit for a bosmer perhaps?0

✭✭Totally agree. Bought order of the hour shield motif because I thought is looked like an old roman shield in size. Was completely wrong there...

✭Yeah I've noticed this. I want my tank to look like a brick wall, not like he's playing Frisbee.
Would he nice if you could adjust the shield size to suit the character.4 -

@Zuzmaw
Never fought with a sword and shield have you, last thing you want is a heavy shield on your offhand draining your strength.
The only use for a large shield, is as part of a unit where you would create a shield wall.
Shields are used for blocking and moving a sword away, allowing you to make a killing blow with your weapon, a smaller lighter shield is better suited to this.Edited by Cherryblossom on December 20, 2016 2:34PM3 -

✭✭✭✭✭try "shield of the red mountain"
that thing is pretty big.
when in 3rd person and sheathed you can almost not even see your character.

✭I personally think the larger shields are beautiful. I like the dark brotherhood shield for its size and looks.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭...you do realize that shields have been around in all sizes, from small bucklers that barely covered the hand at 10 or so inches diameter to roman empire scutum style tower shields that provided full body protection at the expense of mobility...
So, if ESO is trying to give everyone some shieldyness flavors...
Be it those who like viking flavor...
...or those who like Knightly flavor...
...or those who like legionary flavor...
...or for some hopilte flavor...
...or some who enjoy byzantine flavor...
...or some who like footmen flavor...
...or those who like 1001 nights flavor...
...or those who like mongol flavor...
...and indeed, even those who like the swashbuckler flavor!
...then some shields will have to be smaller then others.
By the way, can you imagine what doctor Freud would have to say about people with large shields?

you do realize this is a fantasy game?
build an imperial shield , equip it with a full suit of heavy armor, and get back to me.
small =/= too smallEdited by Zuzmaw on December 21, 2016 9:43PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭There's a simple reason they wont.
Clipping. Ever since they put the shields so tightly packed to the body, it's caused clipping issues. Rather than swallow their pride and move the shield back a bit so it floats off the character, which people hated until they saw the clippiing, they'll continue to make small shields so they dont have to admit fault.0
