What. You didn't like the huge flaired sleeves and giant butt? Sorry I hated the robe meshes in OB. I modified a few for myself but the limited lowerbody rig still svcked. I seriously hope they put more bones in the lower body this time dammit.

Yes I didn't like how robes was done in oblivion.
About rigging yes I also wish there will be more bones for better fit clothes, did you try use http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27945
It has more bones but they lack of animation

current robes are fine

Armor should be really heavy. Unless you have the strength, you'll be moving really slow.

A mage would do better wearing clothes with large enchantment potential.

Yeah I'm very familiar but animators didn't come forward to recomp all 100+ anims so it was pretty useless. I've said it before and I'll say it again... The rig for the OB lich was perfect, (16) tail bones, dangle bones for wrists, pauldron bones. Best rig in the game and they slap the worst animations on it. What the hell?

Well you know spriggans have much more feminine animation then human female in game, sometimes I really does not understood developer motives.
Maybe they firstly shape mesh and make skeleton and then found that old gembrio cant handle animation switching good, anyway Skyrim utilize many new technologies, thats looks very interesting for modding, maybe even havok cloth for better clothes.

I think they would have mentioned Havok cloth if they were going to use it so I'm not betting on that. I think JJ Styles modelled the lich. BGS animators took it from there. But anyway... Need better robes and better rig BGS. :slap:
