Zenimax or a contractor thereof should consider making high-quality editions of player character costumes available for sale in real life, perhaps getting space in a big chain department store to sell outfits and bits of outfits.
I'd consider buying, for example, the "Plumed Wide-Brimmed Acorn Warder" hat and the "Skald's Damask Jerkin."
I'd want the hat dyed (1) Wyrd Tree Green, (2) Strangler Maw Red, and (3) Dwarven Brass.
I'd want the jerkin dyed (1) Dominion Yellow, (2) Wyrd Tree Green, and (3) Motif Master Brown.
That particular combination of colors looks VERY good, and it's my standard costume on Rissa Manyclaws, my main character.
If Zenimax does this, it could be a new source of profit for the company, and, if it is, I'd accept a modest reward of a million crowns, every collectible mount, pet, morph, and wearable item/set, and 100 attunable blacksmithing stations. Thanks!

✭✭✭✭✭The closest thing ZOS could do is implement an online store similar to what Bioware has, that offers collectibles, books, clothing etc. Actually having replica costumes in your local J.C.Penny is a bit far fetched.CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

✭✭✭✭✭I expect if someone googled cosplay elder scrolls they just might find some things to consider. It is a rather niche market so I expect most people hand make their costumes or pay a pretty penny. This IP is no where near the size of Star Wars.2 -

Ignorance about boundaries is not a good excuse for overstepping them.
You might think it's cute. But demanding compensation for something you don't have any ownership rights to negotiate, develop, or manufacture is something better left unsaid. Some management will just roll their eyes over the lack of professionalism. But some would interpret it as infringement or exaction and could choose to pursue it as such.signing off1 -

No fun allowed ^^^^Ebonheart Pact, Nord Templar/healer on NA Xbox server. My main toon WAS a tall and foxy redhead - now she has been gamma-irradiated and has green skin and black hair. 3 other characters I only use for writs. Can't be bothered to create multiple toons - EXCEPT now my WW is getting spooled up for Cyrodiil - Blood For The Pact! IRL cranky sometimes redhead chick at large in Las Vegas, NV1 -

OP is clearly being light hearted and just joking that about if Zos used their idea.
It seems that joke is being taken a little to serious. I doubt anyone at Zos would take OP as infringing or exaction of anything.1 -

✭When did everyone on the forums turn into such buzzkills?
Can't post anything without being followed up by. "We'll zos wouldn't because..." "This bad because..." "You're stupid because..."

I was referring to the idea, not to the merchandise. Anyway, the last paragraph of my original post was a joke, not a demand. I did not really expect any compensation.
Anyway, I'm A Player Of Games (apologies to Iain Banks, to whom I give full credit for the aforementioned phrase "A Player Of Games" and accord him with any rights to remuneration which may result), so for what reason should I have exhibited "professionalism" in this or any other game-related discussion thread?Edited by goatlyonesub17_ESO on November 26, 2018 10:59PM"Argonians have fat, scaly tails." —Rissa Manyclaws.

✭✭✭When I was probably nine years old, I suggested the same thing in a ticket to Jagex, for Runescape.
I had my heart set on that dragon battleaxe.
Needless to say, I thought I was the only person to ever come up with such an idea, laid out what kind of profit they could make from their playerbase, and eagerly awaited their reply.
I'd like to think I at least made some poor ticket jockey laugh during their dull 9-5.
Fast forward a decade and a half, and I've taken desires like that and projected them into the one hobby that'll last me a lifetime. Blacksmithing, steel fabrication, and all of the secondary skills that come with it.
You never know where your desires will take you. If nobody's gonna make it, I think you might as well get started learning.Edited by Judas Helviaryn on November 26, 2018 11:46PM2 -

I have a friend who smiths chainmail for use (and for sale) at SCA tourneys. He got there about the same way you did!
It's fantastic stuff - but pricey. And at my age, paying for a set of chain I'm too old to actually use would be kind of silly. I'll just pay for the Snow Globe house instead....1
