NAPALM13092 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) I don't mind seeing armor mods for both genders as I personally play both male and female characters. However I stress the point of ARMOR.... swimsuits, latex, metal bras and cod pieces leaving areas of exposed flesh especially over vital organs is not ARMOR and would also not provide sufficient warmth is an arctic environment it is eyecandy nothing more. You can still make you character attractive and yet protected just look at Zertualpro's Underworld Armor, it is fullbody plate and chainmail that would be practical in a combat situation and still hugs a womans curves. Badass can also be sexy without turning Elder Scrolls into a Victoria Secret catalog . People are going to do whatever they want and I can't force them to do otherwise that is just my take on the issue.

midtek Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 You must haven't seen in-game screenshots. The place is not frozen to hell, and many shots depict how many cloths are well exposed. It seems all the Dragon-born enjoy walks everywhere with habergeon armors. :biggrin: http://download.gameblog.fr/images/blogs/7428/48846_med.jpghttp://download.gameblog.fr/images/blogs/7428/48845_med.jpg But anyway, look at that beautiful Imperial male armor look. I don't worry about male characters looks go to be, at least we get beards for men furs for Kajatties. http://download.gameblog.fr/images/blogs/7428/48841_med.jpg Perfect.

NAPALM13092 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Point taken but you know what I am getting at when it comes to armor. I am also more than well aware of the multiple environments of Skyrim from mountains and volcanic tundra to taiga forest and grassy plains. I am not saying everywhere in Skyrim requires a fur coat but it is not the best environment for short shorts and tube tops. You are talking to a guy that drinks up every little tidbit of lore and fact about the Elder Scrolls Universe like an addict if there is one thing I am not it is misinformed. You are not going to throw any facts or screenshots at me I haven't seen I can assure you. Edited April 22, 2011 by NAPALM13092 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(shivering) lol They are having a sale on furs at JC Pennys I hear. *begins singing "Your Cold as Ice" by Foreigner* Didn't mean to sound like a dick hard to judge someones tone from text alone. Mr. Elder Scroll... I think you just hooked me up with a new name. Edited April 22, 2011 by NAPALM13092 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are going to do whatever they want and I can't force them to do otherwise that is just my take on the issue. Again with another argument about the "realism" thing in armors. I swear, what's with people hating on eyecandy? Midtek's post of the Skyrim screenshots shows "lore friendly" armors for males and yet they're still very flesh exposing. Based on the fantasy world which is what TES is based on: look at all the Conan movies... How "real" are Conan's flesh exposing armors? Look at the game world of TES. What's so real about tossing lightning bolts from your hands? What's realistic about lugging around a mace, sword, bow, or axe that weighs 20+ pounds and still have your character swinging it as if the weapon only weighs one pound? Realistic medieval hand weapons usually only weigh 4-5 pounds at most. I think the people crying foul on realism should really do some thinking to see that TES is just a game and there's nothing real about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A happy medium between the two would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th0raxeIV Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Any one things that maybe because now armor changes depending on the race...you will see mods that are no longer Male/Female but more Race Male/Female Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITOS Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Any one things that maybe because now armor changes depending on the race...you will see mods that are no longer Male/Female but more Race Male/FemaleI feel fairly certain that those mods will be few. I'm guessing most mods will have the same model for all races. Not necessarily a bad thing if it means more available options for your character.
