Yes that was a nice change from Morrowind. Unfortunately, there are a lot of armors in Oblivion that don't show amulets because of the clipping that would occur. Many armors have the "Hide Amulet" box checked in the editor.

Would be nice to see physics applied to worn amulets.

This "I want it to be like Skyrim" thing is getting ridiculous.

Weres Too high?

well it should be, if skyrim is like any other game it is a DLC and then people get mad that they wasted their money
but quite frankly all of the apparel customization is stupid except for Daggerfall, I do think it just needs to be completely rethought, right now apparel will only look good with like 2 or 3 combinations (mainly armor) I mean it really looks bad if you have deadric boots and a steel cuirass. What would be good is if you could dye apparel add some stuff to it or just find different variations of it

and honestly that Morrowind holier that thou is getting pretty ridiculous also, its like all ideas that were after Morrowind were terrible when in fact they added a lot more to the game
please no one respond to this I am not trying to start an Oblivion vs. Morrowind argument I am just giving my opinion

As high as possible, ie, as high as it can be without there being a bucketload of clipping issues.

I want to be able to pick out what kind of socks I want to wear that day. Get it done Beth!

Don't forget underwear!!!

:P

I'm hoping that its like Daggerfalls clothes customization. I really like the amount of choices I had to choose from, it was pretty crazy.

It also irritates me to hear "skyrim should be like skyrim" might as well say you dont give a damn how the game turns out to be.

Its going to be similar to previous TES games either way, people are merely expressing what they liked and didnt like from previous games. :pinch:

well i played oblivion and morrowind, but not that much of daggerfall but the more customization there is the better!

maybe they can focus on every aspect of the game? like a good developer should?

It doesn't really take much time off of their hands to make a few different clothes. Doing this little thing could make a big difference in the game by making it look like everyone is not wearing the same damn outfit.

APB. However, I don't really case as much about the functional side of apparel customization. If they have 20 classes of outfit in terms of gameplay stats, but let you customize the appearance well beyond the basic template, that would be great. I do hope they take the Faction Armor concept from New Vegas and expand on it.

I don't just want clothing to be customizable, I want armor to be customizable. That's why I fell in love with Neverwinter Nights, because the Hordes of the Underdark expansion introduced the ability to customize both appearance and color of your armors.

Plus it'll shut up everyone who keeps complaining about how they do or don't want whatever armor to look how it was in whatever game. Myself included. Just think, being able to make armors look like they were in the previous games, or even completely new styles.

I haven't played Daggerfall myself, but I would be satisfied with Morrowind's level of customization. Being able to wear robes over armour and shirts beneath armour makes apparel customization much more fun.

I always liked having a robed, yet heavily armoured character in Morrowind, and perhaps take off that robe when going into heavy combat situations. It would allow for greater roleplaying opportunities, IMO.

So high I can pick out the colour of my undergarments. Ok maybe not that high, but ya. More the better.

Well I would Love Daggerfall's system, but as long as I get separate Pauldrons and gauntlets, i will be a happy camper. And of course Clothing under the Armor.

Being able to dye clothing would be cool as well.

And npc's better react to how I look! I loved dressing my character up in Fable 2, I think I spent 10+ on just that. Having npc's fear you (if you look like a badass) or etc. depending on how you look is awesome.

The more the merrier, I always say. -shrug- However much customization they can squeeze into their new game (and still have it be great) is fine by me. c:

Voted Morrowind, because the amount of customization in daggerfall is kind of impractical in this day and age.

The more, the merrier... As long as its at least as customizable as Oblivion's was I'll be content. Though for me to be really happy, it would require more. A few elements I hope to see:

? The ability to personalize standard clothes/armor with different color schemes, insignias, crests, etc.
? A wider array of "casual" clothing, and more of a reason to wear it (e.g. boost to NPC disposition)
? Ability to wear clothes under armor
? Ability to wear capes/cloaks/robes over armour
? More "slots" for the equipment menu (head, face, necklace, torso armor, right arm armor, left arm armor, right hand armor, left hand armor, right ring, left ring, leg armor, right boot, left boot, cloak, shirt, pants, ammunition, right weapon, left weapon... hell, maybe even a slot for belts and for another accessory [satchel, canteen, sash, etc.]) . . . though realistically that's too much I think, and I'd be happy with a system like Morrowind's

I think Morrowind's is good enough. Separate pauldrons, also separate from the cuirass, separate gauntlets, and either clothing or robe under/over armor is wonderful. Anything lower will be disappointing.

clothing under armor ftw

The more the better. They'll have had three years by the time Skyrim gets released. If they don't improve over Oblivion I'll be furious.

Having less equip slots allows the art design team to make each armor more unique without worrying about clipping and such. Having less slots also prevents the player character from being as customizable. Quite the conundrum.


Perhaps a system like Oblivion's plus an "armor mod" system similar to the weapon modification system found in FO3 mods and FO:NV?

I'm not entirely sure how Daggerfall's system worked but I generally like the idea of more options the better. What I've gathered from the thread and some Googling makes it sound like you had several options as to how to wear each article of clothing. I actually really like that idea within reason. It would also be nice to dye clothing and would definitely add diversity to the NPCs.
