Clothes & armors, to be sexy or to be protected ? That's the q

[GisleAune]

I would like additional armors that reflect their armor value and doesn't need CBBE and whatnot to run. For lcothing I wouldn't mind seeing some clevage, but for something with 92 in armor rating. Even bethesda does this, armor covering almost nothing of the upper body having as much armor rating as armor wihich does (the variations of fur armor).

 

If an armor like this had 5-10 armor rating, It would make more sense to me at least. As for the one tagging heavy armor as unrealistic for girls, I wonder if he thought women fought in steel lingerie back in the medieval ages...

Only one thing represents my opinion on the subject in an artistic form, based of course off my very favorite (though increasingly Ward-ified) fictional universe, Warhammer 40,000...

The 'Plate Bikini' is borderline sexist in most cases, and the idea that it offers any kind of martial protection is absurd. Plus, we're talking Skyrim here. Maybe you can walk around in Cyrodiil with 90% of your body exposed, but that **** gets you hypothermia up here.

 

To summarize...

I support this idea.

The less it covers... the higher the armor rating... right.... Too many people believe that... I remember I spent forever looking for decent looking clothing mods in Oblivion for my female characters simply because everything was way too revealing for my tastes. I definitely want to see more logical armoring.
