I Hope this shirtless armor is a motif

Minotaur, Deadwater, Deadlands Gladiator,Mazzatun, Draugr chest motifs all have varying levels of skin showing good for being able to see Tats.

I just wish they would give us the option to hide shoulders like with head pieces and also release chest pieces like the pirate first mate outfit bandolier. On the subject of flaps, I really wish that they would implement the ability to show or hide front/back flaps. I never minded the flaps when they were front and back but this latest trend of just making front flaps makes me feel like I'm going heavily armored to a baking competition.

I seem to recall that low level bosmer heavy armor used to have decent open skin tummy area on female toons, way back at the first few months of the game.

Last time I tried to implement it on new chars I was disappointed at how it seems to have gotten edited.

They wouldn't be naked, they would show the painted on bra every female character wears.

I’m not looking for nudity either, at the same time the occasional fits of Puritanism are silly. Exhibit A - the timbercrow costume. “Side butt” would have ended the world so they added adult diapers to the costume. Aren’t we all adults playing an m-rated game?

Looks cool but the hip flaps are a little small.

I did very fast preview of this motif on female character. Nothing spectacular on the chest area...
And hip flaps really ruin the look

With pants:

Hip flaps ALWAYS ruining almost every motif

depends on how much volume the pants have also.
Because yah those floating hip flaps get annoying.

Thanks for the screenies @Fischblut!

The main issue with those fem shots is how far out from the body the flap curves. That's awful - even worse to me than the hip flaps!

Thanks for the preview.

I have to say that in this case not only the hip flaps look weird to me, also the loincloth. Or maybe it's just because of the bare legs that it looks so strange.

I wonder what it looks like from behind?

Thanks for being so helpful and providing those screenshots for others, @tomofhyrule!

Are you involved with armor design? If so then look around you here...99% of us hate hip flaps and would love if you added an option to hide them or just stop adding them to new styles because they really look bad and ruin the look of so many styles.

that option already exists in the game files, just isn't enabled in the game. from what i was told.
It's probably because it is heavy on the servers.
At this point id be happy with just them reworking the hip an shoulders that exist on some sets so they don't look like they are floating.

Also it's obvious the devs know what players like or dislike, but in the end of the day it's their game and we should respect their vision for it and hope there's more sets without hip flaps.

The problem I have with shirtless armour is that the shoulder pads don't have anything to attach to. If there was a way to hide the pauldrons, as there is with helmets, that would alleviate that problem.

Got excited at first, but...

Why the heck did they add the ugly shoulder pads and flaps to the chest piece. Why not have them as part of the shoulder pieces and the flaps/pads as part of belts? Why does ZOS have such a wonderful team of artists when it comes to environmental design but the armor motifs are always so ehh compared to modern standards? Almost each motif has something that ruins it... just .. why

I know half of the problem is probably the rig/skeleton and animations used but jesus, it really doesn't take much resources from other areas to improve these things and create good designs. At least move all the flaps and pads from armors to belts, it would make a huge difference when it comes to customization and the belt slot wouldn't be so useless anymore. A single artist could do this in a week.

It's really frustrating to watch

Armor looks game. I’m hoping we get a lot more that appear like this.
