No greaves? : V

» Sat Jun 11, 2011 9:03 am

I was watching the new footage and stopping it every millisecond on the items menu and I noticed that with both the Elven and Iron armour sets (further down the list) that neither have greaves. But both have Elven Armour and Iron Armour as item pieces.

Is this just coincidence or does it mean we do not have separate greaves and cuirass any more?

I certainly hope not....massive sad face.

Lots of threads on this, conclusion : We don't know.. we'll have to wait for the fan Q and A for the answer.

Greaves are a must, as I always mix regular clothing with armour... for instance leather greaves with a green tunic. I don't want to be forced to either wear full leather armour or a green dress (I play as female)

I believe some people with far better eyesight than myself apparently, concluded that there are "Greaves", right below the Iron Helmet, there is "Iron Greaves". I can't see it, but considering you can actually see the greaves model on the PC...

I paused at the elven armour but I think it didnt have greaves.... but I'm not sure

If you go a little foward or back I dont remember well , should show a robe of mage or something and it doesn't show to have pants ....

In Todd's defence robes never did.

I agree with Sheogorath though, greaves are simply a must. I have a frightening thought that they haven't changed anything at all. No over coats or capes to go over armour. Fingers crossed it all there...

Yes the icon of the robe did not show the bottom, I and other found this strange, worse the cuirass was named armor.
However someone made a screenshot of the elven armor in 3d view and it showed the lower part (skirt) of the armor but no attached greaves at the same time we saw more of the bottom of the armor than we saw of the robe.
Most plausible explanation is that he had not found greaves yet.

There have to be greaves.
And pauldrons, and seperate gloves, and clothes under armour.
There just have to be.

epic epic fail if theyve combined curaiss and greaves into one. I honestly might not get the game if they carry on dumbing it down.

I just checked, and I'm sure it says Iron shield.

This....

I know dude.... I know. Its something so small yet it would make so much difference to us.

How sure? Considering the shield he's using is at the very top.

The demo was made up by Todd to just show us that the game would be like. Alot of things were partly finished or put into the game just for the gameplay. No name bows/ only parts of armor and weps, etc The character he used had what looked like low level stuff but he was using high level powers. Everyone needs to stop complaining about it and take it for what it was, a demo for us to see part of the new Skyrim world and nothing more. There are countless threads about stuff not being right or missing and it has become quite annoying. The GAMEPLAY was only half made or just not programed right yet.

We don't have a lot to go on though. Something as fundamental as the apparel slots surely would have been in the game, if all the actual items themselves not designed yet.

This shield doesn't seem to be equipped, and unlike the equipped shield, this one isn't "Banded". Stuff seems to be in alphabetic order. And I'm very sure, it starts with "Iron Sh" and ends with "ld"; the rest is too blurry for me.

Considering that REAL "greaves" are actually worn on your shins, not on your thighs (where you would "normally" wear cuisses), the whole question is kind of strange. Maybe Bethesda will fix the screwy naming conventions for the armor this time, and have a seperate cuirass on your torso, cuisses on your thighs, and greaves on your shins where they belong.

Tha would mean beth would have to actually add MORE armor slots which at the state seems unlikely

Well, that's tantamount to confirmation there if you're 100% sure. We know he's got "Greaves" equipped, but if they aren't in the inventory.

So I guess 2 copies already lost.

That always bugged me too... But arguing semantics doesn't really go anywhere, language is too fickle. Had the original designer of Leg armor been high (Or not high, we don't know) they might have been called "Fragglombermogs", and we'd be none the wiser.

Eh, I don't really care if they combine greaves with other armour. It just reduces any clipping issues and allows the artists to make the models more complex and beautiful. My guess is that they've been combined with boots, not with cuirasses.
