Because it looks good !!!

no no no nononononononononoNONONONO!

Seriously, enough is enough! Can we have at least one series of fantasy games that doesn't devolve into nothing more than an oggle-fest of chainmail-bikini-clad elven hokers?

One of my favorite points of TES is that the armour actually looks like armour when worn by female characters!

Okay, time to simmer down... where's that snickers?

Ehh.. I for one like the fact that TES doesn't overdo the 'Stereotype Oversixy Female' thing. Its sixual stuff is rather tame compared to most other games that have stuff like that in it, and most of it's just implied.

The Lusty Argonian Maid and The Three Legged Guar, for examples. Love how when I first played Morrowind, I totally missed the latter's implication, then a couple years later, had a good lawl at it.

Anyway, at the other side of the argument, I would actually like to see some more 'feminine' things you can wear, kinda like the SI dresses, but.. let girls wear the suit, too if they want, yeah? That clothing-morph thing was just a tad annoying for both genders to me. Why my girl no can has iron greaves that no make her look like hoker? Hmm?

..and of course, let the angry Orc put on his good killin' dress. I missed that from Morrowind, lol. I had a Battle Skirt. xD

I agree with making female armour different from male armour. Different Varients based upon gender would be very cool. I would like some clothing to look sixy and other clothing to be more practical. Not overly sixual with too much flesh, but just a little. Light armour would work for that. Heavy armour should remain pretty much like walking round in a caravan.



I wish people wouldn't say mods can change everything. Not everyone plays on PC and therefore don't have access to them. Things like this should be in the vanilla version of the game as it's a basic fact of life. Women wear different cloths to men.

I agree there i a line that will make it stupid if women are overly sixy, but there should be variations



So you don't want something that would improve diversity within the game.

Good to know which side of the fence you are on!

really dude? the armor is there for protection not to make men drool. I get it for clothes,somewhat. But armor should look practical over "sixy" any day

There were no feminists in the Middle Ages.

There weren't any cat-people, lizard-people, or elves either. I can understand wanting different designs of armour from the men's, but when it comes right down to it, armour is supposed to be for your protection.

Don't like bulky armour? Then run around naked and use a shield spell.

What about for mages then. They don't wear armour because the majority wear robes so physical protection isn't top of their lists for what's important in clothing. Good armour for a mage is about the enchantments on the clothing they are wearing, rather than practical physical protection. So a mage could wear something like this

I hope blokes can wear skirts again. I loved using the shirt blue one in morrowind as a kilt

While I do agree, some female fantasy armours look fantasic, they are not practical, and only slight adjustments should be made for the feminine shape and no cleavage showing, perfect target for assassin archers.

However, I would like to see mage robes look a bit more revealing. OB mages robes looked like the sort of thing a nun would wear.

How can an evil, counjering scorceress do her thing when she looks like she's an extra from Sister Act?? (the Whoopie Goldberg Movie, not the 'other' movie of the same name which I haven't seen 0:))

Well I don't know, bikini armors + Skyrim climate sounds like a very bad combination.
To be honest I'm hoping we'll see more mods with non revealing armors for this game, it would make more sense because people need to protect themselves from the cold. sixy armors can look good but I think they fit better in Oblivion.

No,no bikini armor for Skyrim.
I want Skyrim to be the serious game it seems to be.
But I can understand the will for some sixyness.
I'll tell you what:

Leave all female armors look like real armors that protect most parts of one's body,but add some sixy civilian clothes in.
It would make sense if a clothe shop like Oblivion's Divine Elegance had some sixy looking outfits,and I think Skyrim's women that are not fighting for a job would like to where clothes that makes them look prettier and sixier.
:)

The sixiest place for them would be my bedroom floor
