Can waist armor come with a band please to make it a proper belt.

Ever since I've started this game I haven't understood why the waist armor is just a buckle and no belt. It just floats there. It looks terrible with some armor motifs like Mazzatun. Is there a reason why there no bands to make them an actual belt?

    Probably to avoid visual clipping. There's lots of movement around the waist. I'm sure it would be difficult to ensure that all the bands from different styles didn't clip into others.

    WoW doesnt seem to have an issue with it. Nor do other mmos

    I too would prefer the belst to be actual belts and not mere buckles. But eh... I can live with the bucklings.

    WoW doesn't have nearly the customization that ESO does. If I recall right, there is zero body customizing in WoW, just one body shape for each race and gender. In this MMO, you can fine-tune the shape of your character's entire body.

    What's wrong with navel piercing belts?

    It's still very possible to do.

    Its still possible to do in this game. They did it in other elder scrolls games. I used to make custom armor in body slide. Ik what it takes to make the pieces form to every body type. Went to school with kids who do it professionally now. Adding a simple belt wouldnt be game breaking.

    Is it sad that I would just settle for all my armor to touch me? It is bad enough I have to have stupid hip flaps, but they also have to be magical hip flaps that just float around me.

    To be fair we already have LOTS of cliping without a belt...I wouldn't mind have belt and an option to hide it like the helmet

    at a guess I'd say the bodies used by Bodyslide are far superior to what eso uses :( their costumes wouldn't fit so badly or alter your characters shape if it wasn't

    From what I've seen the band portion of the belt is usually on the body armor.
