So... this thread is full of all sorts of awkward.

Yeeesh...I agree with Aurora, you're stepping into dangerous territory here.

There are many, many more women warriors in Skyrim.

Anyways, if you want feminine heavy armor, I personally go with Iron, Banded Iron, Steel, Orcish, or Dawnguard. They accentuate the curves, but don't go into the ridiculous boob-plate stuff and actually look functional.

Guys, chill out, we know some lisbian and bi women can look very feminine. Like my ex /very very subtle boast

Dude, I think this thread is (well, I'm guessing for a few people) fairly evenly split between male and female posters... If anything, more dudes, I think? Also, there are plenty of female warriors/adventurers/fighters/etc - Irileth, Lydia, Iona, Jordis (who is quite femme), Annette Crag-Jumper, Uthgerd the Unbroken, Jenassa, Mjoll, Aela, Ria, the rude one from the Companions whose name I can't remember, etc. etc. etc. and plenty of non-fighters who do jobs other than maid/housewife - such as most of the lumber mill owners, three Jarls, several merchants, quite a few of the alchemists...

I know that they aren't all like that, but these stereotypes are started for a reason. If you see a woman with a military short hair cut, guyish clothes, and a think frame, couldn't you help but wonder if she was bi or lesbo??? Just human nature to categorize.

Anyway we are getting off topic and onto major politics... Armor???

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=132773866 and Carved Nordic look the best on women of the heavy armors. Heavy Stahlrim isn't bad either.

For light armors i like Scaled, Glass, and again the Stahlrim armor.

I'm not a woman... The problem is, people assume that normal armor that hides the body, protects, and makes the warrior look strong and competent, is male armor. While the one that shows T/A is female armor. When in reality, the two aren't different at all.

No sensible person who fights head on like a soldier would go into battle with their stomachs exposed and their briast sides exposed. Perfect places to stab. So characters that actually care about looking sixy over being safe and looking strong, and call themselves warriors, that to me is silly, unrealistic as hell, and they belong in an anime.

Purdy mucho....

This is fantasy and not real life. Let the bunch of nerdy dudes (accompanied by the majority of hot blooded heterosixual men and the majority of women who happen to appreciate their form and use it) have their boners.

As for fitted armor, then I'm sure that well figure fitted is the desire of any warrior. Lumps and bumps included.

Well, not necessarily.

They could also be very confident. Almost suicidally so. But someone like that would most likely take to light armors.

ooh forgot about Stalhrim... Have to do a bunch of quests first though

Right. Only Stahlrim armor i've used so far is the Deathbrand set

Okay, armour, right.

Heavy: ancient Nord.

Light: scaled horn.

Medium: a cloak of misogyny

But, seriously, ancient Nord and scaled show the most skin whilst not being too out there. The best of both worlds, imo.

Ancient Nordic armor.

Like Aela of the Companions is wearing.

Edit: for the Elven equiverlant there is Falmer.

^^^^ This... Lol if nerdy guys (or gals) play this game soley for how well Bethesda made the women, then kudos for Bethesda. They made them look so real that they attract real men

Yeah, pretty much what the Bear Man fellow says. I've had characters who are quite femme and characters who are quite butch and characters with no strong tendency in either direction (I almost always play as a bi woman, probably at least in part because I am one and it's nice to have the opportunity to play someone who's like me in that one way, if not in many others) but they've all gone for practical armours because they are wearing them to avoid getting killed. It doesn't make sense to me to wear something like smithed-up Forsworn armour and have as much protection as full-body leather gear like the vampire armour (I use a mod so my female characters get a version of the male rather than the boobs-ahoy female version).

Anyway, Nordic Carved looks awesome on women, and has the added bonus of making them look a bit less dainty than even the biggest woman's body type available.

Sorry. I have a hard time letting some thing pass.

Suggestions for light armor if you don't like any of the heavy that has been suggested is Scaled, Studded or Fur (not the bikini, but the one that covers the torso).

Same, but only cuz it rocks. Have unlocked the ability to make unenchanted Stalhrim armor, but never did cuz of Deathbrand

Ah, right, I forgot about those. Carved is pretty decent, too. It gives that "high stocking" look too.

For the sake of balance I should point out that in some cultures both men and women fought naked. The Gauls, the Picts, Newcastle. There's been a few.

Heavy armor wouldn't show lumps and bumps unless it's chainmail. At least then it's natural and not a design thing meant to titilate.

So what if it's fantasy, not everyone likes their females in fantasies to look like prosttutes. You can talk about how you like your women warriors to be agents of amorous. I'll talk about how I like mine to look like warriors, ready to kill. You dislike my taste, I loathe yours. Part of life.

Haha me neither. just don't like being locked, and something tells me that we are on a path...

Haha, if only Skyrim had the unarmored skill *sigh*

Just gonna put it out there, "realism" is hardly needed to attract real men, lol. As pormography in general can attest to.
