Armor / Clothing Try on before Buy

[bearishparrot]

So you go to your favorite store in the mall, see a shirt you like, and try it on to see how it looks. Why not do the same in Oblivion? For shops with tons of new armors and clothing, instead of saving, buying an item, putting it on, then reloading... why not just try on any armor you want and buy it only if you like how it looks? A mod that would allow you to pick something out in the merchants sell list and check out yourself wearing in the third person would be awesome. You only pay when you exit the store or talk to the merchant again!

 

For convenience, perhaps using a modifier button when selecting the item would bring you to a third person view, so that you can buy anything regularly and only try on items when you don't know what they look like.

 

Any feedback would be great... I've checked for mods like this but wasn't able to find any. Hope someone finds this interesting... Thanks for reading!

Sounds to me like it would either make theft harder, impossible, or very, very easy depending on how leaving the store with items is handled. Personally I think it would be easier to just put mannequins in the stores displaying the items. That would have course run into obvious problems of needing patches for all sorts of different armor/clothing shop adding mods, and some of them add so many that putting in that many mannequins would quickly use up all available space in the shop.

 

Hm... actually, I think it might be possible for a talented modder to create a mannequin item like the Reznod Mannequins that is able to load items offered in any shop in the cell it is placed in instead of taking your items and equipping them. It would require recognizing shops and their inventories, which I'm not all that sure about...
