Why is skimpy armor so popular?

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.

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.

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.

@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)

Majority of Skryim players are guys, and guy like boobies.

Does that answer your question? :laugh:

 

 

Because they are needed to truly immerse myself in the gripping tale of the Breton exhibitionist who saves Tamriel from Alduin the World-Eater.

 

Hah, good one! Now you just need a mod where corrupted guards spank criminals and exhibitionists.

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:
