Deleted4169574User Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I just never understood why it's always so popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Does it really matter? It's like asking why Lady Gaga is popular, or why InsertCulturalPopularReferenceHere is popular. A lot of reasons, a lot of personal reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeanieMeanie Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Majority of Skryim players are guys, and guy like boobies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishaigh0 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Boobies :D Although, I met a girl at a bar a few years ago who was super into Skyrim and loved the sexy Armour and body mods. I think people of either gender like things like this, just looks good. Edited June 4, 2014 by chrishaigh0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRoseOfThorns Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Skimpy + Tropical Skyrim = more sense? :tongue: Other than that there is whole +18 section here on nexus and other skyrim mod sites. Personally I like elaborate skimpy outfits when it fits game concept. I would use them more in skyrim, if there was a mod assigning outfits for npcs according to the regions. It's kinda game breaking for me to wear high heels and show bare back (or see npcs like that) when fishing in icy waters near College of Winterhold.

steelfeathers Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) @Beanie: I'd like to see the research data that shows that most people who play Skyrim are guys.Because these days, the whole 'only boys play videogames' mindset is frankly untrue. About 50% of all gamers are women. But back to the original question: because there is a market for it. Sexy sells, and all that. (I also know quite a few girl skyrim players who personally like using skimpy armor as well, so it's not only guys who want it) Edited June 4, 2014 by steelfeathers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, good one! Now you just need a mod where corrupted guards spank criminals and exhibitionists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofgren Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 What a strange question. Skimpy armor is popular for the same reason that skimpy clothes are popular in real life. And in Skyrim you can make the people wearing the skimpy clothes look just the way you want them to. I mean even if you yourself are not visually stimulated or get nothing out of it, you must be able to look at the world around you and see that a lot of other people DO get something out of it. Whether it's a fantasy of looking like that yourself or just the titillation of staring at a pert bouncing ass while you slay dragons, clearly a lot of people want to look sexy, and skimpy armor (on the right person) is sexy. For the record it does nothing for me. The people in Skyrim fall too well inside the Uncanny Valley for me, even with the high quality body replacers here on the Nexus, for me to have any kind of prurient reaction to them.

Some use skimpy armors for bodies like this one: http://static-2.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/24318-1-1357493839.jpghttp://static-1.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/24318-1-1384712749.png http://static-3.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/24318-1-1348174027.jpg Great for roleplaying foresworn :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
