Chicken Legs Syndrome

Post » Fri Dec 16, 2011 5:06 am

Is it just me or does anyone else think the character's legs look silly when wearing leather armor? It's nice light armor but really it looks like a dress. Other armors have legs to them, or pants.

Also when you get into a brawl, I really wish other NPC's would straight up GO AWAY. They walk right in the middle and get hit and suddenly you have a bounty. Not cool at all.

The dress part was what ruined it for me ._.

Reminds me of gladiator armor, and it's cheap leather so it probably wouldn't be something you custom tailor for yourself

Plenty of warriors (greeks, romans, celts, egyptians, etc) wore the same or even a lot less, but yeah, to my modern eyes it looks a little silly.

I know the Romans took to wearing knee length "pants" like the Gauls when they were in cold places, personally I would have dug it if the Imperials did the same. Oh well.

My girl said the same thing. But the Imperial armor looks just as silly to me. I'm not dissing or complaining about the game, just an opinion.

I hated it so much I took the light Elven armor from the first Thalmor's I ran across. It's too bright and shiny for my Dunmer Drallam, but I'm only a level 11 right now so it's the best there is atm.

I like the skirt-type look, but I do kinda miss pants.
