Demented Style

Post » Sun May 29, 2011 2:08 am

Okay, since I am writing a novel about Syl, I need to know how to properly describe her main clothing from the game. So, I am trying to figure out what kind of materials her dress is supposed to be made of in the game?

Also, the Dark Seducer armor is light armor, but what is it made of?

Anyone with plausible ideas or fair knowledge of what the developers had in mind when they created it, is more than welcome to comment. :)

It's cool that you're writing a novel about Syl!

Here's a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:SI-npc-Syl.jpg for anyone trying to remember what Syl's dress looked like.

Perhaps it is made entirely out of the skins of demented slaughterfish? That's pretty demented, no? Or perhaps it's cloth made to look like demented slaughterfish, or a mix of both!

But were slaughterfish found in the Shivering Isles? I can't remember. :sadvaultboy:

Dark Seducer armor http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:SI-npc-Female_Dark_Seducer.jpg

Hard to say what it's made out of. It's supposed to be light armor, but it doesn't look light! Heh, maybe it's because the Seducer's wear so little of it. It kind of looks like iron, but I guess that doesn't help too much.

That's what I was thinking, as far as the Seducer armor goes, but it's so hard to tell. It seems too shiny to be leather, but it's too light to be armor iron, I should think...

Concerning Syl's dress, I'm unsure whether the slaughterfish are supposed to be real or not... And what is her ruff made out of? Is it the spikes on the slaughterfish? I don't think there were actually any fish in SI, but that's more likely due to space and time, rather than an actuality. And the black part of her skirt looks like either feathers or scales, but I really have no idea. :shrug:

Thanks for the links, btw. I guess I probably should have put some in myself. (I sometimes take it for granted that I'm likely one of few people who have studied those outfits so closely, as to remember so well what they look like....) :whistling:

Her dress seems to be designed around Dementia http://images.uesp.net//8/8a/SI-creature-Scalon-Dementia.jpg. Slaughterfish would be unlikely since you never see any in the Shivering Isles.

It does look sort of like Dementia scalons.... But are they real or just made to resemble them? Any devs around who can give us a clue??? :wavey:

Velorien makes a good point, but there seem to parts of the dress that look very much like a fish of sorts. If you don't have any luck getting the answers, describe them the way you see them. :)

Good luck with your novel Syl!

Sounds like a plan. And thanks! :)
