I am making a Necro- Warrior Female redguard that is using Heavy armor. I chose female, not because I'm a pervert, but because I like how everyone thinks of women as weak, but my character is like a mega powerful Queen of the Dead. My problem is that all the heavy armors make her look manish... Are there any specific ones that show off her curves? Any light armors?

First of all: Ugh. A woman doesn't have to have form-fitting clothing to look feminine. Wearing functional armor makes her competent, which is the most feminine trait of all.

I guess hide armor would fit your bill. It's got exposed cleavage and isn't as ridiculous as the Forsworn bikinis.

Steel plate and ebony has boobplate, if you like the metal bra look.

I wasn't being like sixist or anything... I mean lets face it, the fun in Skyrim is like, 75% looks. If your character doesn't look cool, then it is way less fun. I'm just trying to highlight the fact that she is a warrior, yet still feminine...

And thanks, I'll try these. Probs go with Steel plate now that you say that. Or Nordic Curved armor

Edit: lol typed the wrong thing XD

ha why would you be a pervert for wanting to play as a woman, especially a strong one? One of my characters http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/lordtru/unnamed_zpsc052f46a.jpg is a warrior woman that I enjoy playing as and there's nothing pervy about it

As for heavy armors that show skin, how about the http://static-4.nexusmods.com/15/images/110/1002109-1327873037.jpg? She's wearing different gauntlets and such but that's the best pic I could find of the unmodded vanilla version of the armor.

I think the pretty face is enough, really. For me, women with their [censored] and ass hanging out trying to be "strong warriors" is silly, laughable, and not at all cool. I can't possibly take a woman seriously as a warrior when she looks like she could host a strip tease at a moment's notice.

Armored tavern wretch clothing?

Well, some people play as a woman just to see their boobs... There are literally 5000 mods out there for nvde women...

As far as I am concerned, the concept of "girlish armor" and "heavy armor" are pretty much mutually exclusive. Not because of my taste, though that'd be the same, but because of what heavy armor is supposed to be. Full-combat plate should have looks as a secondary concern, mostly being about protection. And that isn't really that easy to pull off on an armor that is supposed to enhance the bodily features of a woman. Seems to go mostly either or.

That's just your opinion. I beg to differ. As do the many women who like to show of their form.

lol exactly

...(comment loading)...

The one that shows off curves the most is probably scaled, or scaled horn armour if you want to look more badass.

For me, the dawnguard armor and orcish armor look the most appropriate for women, due to lack of funny looking boob plate.

Yea, but, like, she's a woman, so I think her opinion would count for something in that sort of discussion, no? And I think anyone, including women would be more concerned with looking strong and competent, and not giving a bunch of nerdy dudes boners if they're warriors.

Not sure what that's supposed to mean... lol

I think most female versions of the heavy armors "shows off curves", or rather, create fake curves (no, you DON'T have to hammer the steel into big boob shapes to make it fit. briasts are soft.)
My favorites are iron, banded iron and steel (NOT steel plate) because they look relatively realistic. Still gives the ladies a waist though. Blades armor is nice as well.

But if you want boob plates, I suppose steel plate fits the bill. Then there's always Nexus (if you're on PC).

Besides, women are weak? No one in Skyrim thinks women are weak...

I was just knocked on my bum for a second there. I couldn't quite process whether you wanted a really skimpy armour, or just something less...blocky. And, besides, those two sentences next to each other sound funny

I've been doing this all wrong.

Again, not my point of finding armor that makes her look like a woman. I want to show how she is a straight, not lisbian woman who doesn't look like a man, and is still powerful as crap... I'm actually gay, so awkward.... Not getting any boners from her

I'm not talking about your deal, I'm talking about my tastes. It isn't hard to find what... you're going for.

ha true, it's hard for me to take a warrior woman serious when she's wearing something that's barely there...funny thing is when a man wears the same amount of clothes, https://binarymessiah.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/conan.jpg?w=549

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think women are weaker in a brawl as I swear my women characters don't punch as hard as my men...just saying

I tend to go for the opposite myself (for aesthetics as opposed to realism), but ancient Nord armour would fit that bill if you can get it. That's what Aela wears.

Well the main purpose of my wife is to give me money and make me food. Also the only women warriors in Skyrim are Mjoll and Aela. The rest are maids or house wives

Oh gods, the bottom, it's too short It depends. If you're going for a barbarian woodsy type thing, like Aela, or the orc in the loading screen, or of course, my avatar, then that's one thing. Heavy armor however is supposed to cover most of the body and protect. So for me, seeing a woman go to battle in armor that doesn't serve its function at all... it's ridiculous.

Light armor too, for that matter. If you're a soldier, dress like a soldier.

Stepping into dangerous territory there... I know and know of straight women who look like men and lisbians who look very feminine... Just sayin'

Bear has a point, a female warrior is likely more concerned with how practical her armor is than how feminine she looks. Regardless of sixual orientation. Save the dressing up for town.


Are we playing the same game?
Skyrim is crawling with female soldiers, bandits, mercenaries, housecarls/bodyguards, random hostile [insert race] and so on, and no one raises an eyebrow when they see a female warrior.

There are several female followers except Aela and Mjoll. Most of them are warriors of some kind.

The marriage mechanics is exactly the same for male and female spouses. If you marry someone (man or woman) who's not a follower, they will be your money-and-food machine. If you marry a follower and take him OR her with you, you will have a money-food-fight-AND-Lover's Comfort machine by your side.

Well, Olfina Gray-Mane thinks that everyone else thinks that women are weak.

Haha because lisbians are all butch and straight women are all femme and bisixual women I guess don't exist or are maybe androgynous! Lawl. Amirite?

Well most women I know are obsessed with how they look and their clothes (armor in this case). I'm not saying ALL women are like that, but MY CHARACTER is.. My goodness. Y do I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle against all the the women on the forums?? Would I start a riot if I wanted my male character to wear armor that looks like a male???
