i like tes because it incorporates some realism amidst the fantasy stuff. i liked how in morrowind i could have skirts as a man, i disliked how in oblivion armour would completely change from a practicle shape as a man to a wtf as a woman! (granted- not all armour seemed realistic, and thats fine because its a fantasy and not over the top. glass, daedric and ebony didnt bother me much) (maybe glass did, but it was fine in morrowind)

The poll options are far too biased to be taken seriously. :shrug:

I like the idea of kilts.

Kilts can be cool. So skirts could just become kilts... which are pretty-much the same thing.

It seemed kinda stupid that female characters only had 3 pairs of pants to choose from, and that some armor made such dramatic transformations.

Examples of realistic female armor:

They really don't have many realistic female armor options to reference to. Women didn't wear armor too often. :shrug: Fancy blacksmithed-specifically-for-women armor would make sense in being shaped to the female body, at least somewhat.

But female armor in Oblivion wasn't that bad.

only the skirt part. but every option is still there. so although it is worded bias it is not bias

interesting ideas there.

I vote for plenty of cleavage, high heels, and long nails (armour claws) - it might not be what you'd call real word practical for fighting, but warrior women in typical sword n'sorcery films always look hot and since i have to watch the game it may as well be good to look at. Actually, thinking about it Armour claws and spikey heels might not be bad tools in the warrior trade.

I'll have to concede also therefore (so as not to appear sixist), for our lady gamers, that the guys should look suitably rugged and chisled - thats fair i think.

In Oblivion - the Shivering Isles expansion we had quite sixy armour for the Mazken, so yeah, i don't see why some sixy clothes and fighting gear shouldn't be an option if you want it............

In the cold regions of Skyrim, if you expose it, you lose it . No revealing armor for me, please.

I'm all for a bit of adjustment - slight curve and better fit on female body - I can't imagine wearing male armor would be comfortable, and a bit of reshape is the most of "wizard did it" stuff I'll let slide - some of it is simply necessary for a good game play. But if we need ultra realism we should be able to take any looted armor to a smith and have it adjusted.
As for clothing - it should not change in anything but shape, if it's a skirt it has to remain a skirt, and no changing a dress in to 3 piece outfit as well. You don't want your guy to wear a dress? Don't ware it. It's that simple



Actually you have some point - I did not mind the gear on saints and Mazken, it fit with the characters and the whole realm. So I'll vote for some "sixy armor" included as long as it's sixy by design and on both genders, and is not something that you see everywhere - maybe some custom crafted pieces and some of the crazy daedric stuff Sensible person may never whear it, but who says we have to role play a sensible person? Or that some noble woun't have a crazy looking "bodyguards"
But only as an "extra".

Can you reword the poll to not have your opinion bleed through please? It influences the voting.

EDIT: Not meant offensively, it's just that the way you worded the poll bashes all options but the one that you believe is right.

sigh- very well

I agree with Mephala. This was a biased poll. Didn't influence my vote tho... I can't take women in armour seriously anyways, so I voted for all the transforming stuff.

The mail and plate armer do not folow the sixism rules that is for shure.

also the plate

I just do not get it.

I only agreed with the kilts option, major lack of representation of the best type of clothing ever in gaming. Everything else made me cringe.

Morrowind had excellent clothing, and had much more variety as well. Can we be more stylish with the wardrobe this time around please? I don't like to parade around town fully armored all the time -- but Oblivions selection left me with no choice.

I'm not sure if it this is the most offensive poll I've seen for a while but I definitely don't recall one starting with boobs before

You could have evened it up with some questions on cod pieces

Stop making threads about this, honestly.. I can't vote for these options. Whatever you dislike can probably be fixed with a mod within 2 months.

I agree. The questions are too skewed to be fair.

It definitly is less sixist than many movies and a chunk of games so let us all try to be happy with TES.

Please use another already open thread about cloths. And next time leave off the tasteless boob joke poll.
