they best have armor slots

I sent the tweet almost an hour ago, just calm down.

i hope you are right chomsky :cryvaultboy:

Yea, I'm not sure what the panic is about.

I spend alot of time in these games downloading additional armors, clothes, hairs, eyes, skin textures.... it's all about looking good when you kill that dragon. :mohawk:


(additionally, you need multiple armor pieces for the Enchanting system to really mean anything. It's one of the main reasons I'm not fond of the OB mods that come as full suits....)

Having all that doesn't mean we should lose the customization the TES is known for. I would personally find it completely unacceptable to have single set armor, would I still by the game? Most assuredly, but I'll complain about it every chance I get because there would literally be no excuse for it.

The Pete Tweet was back in january. His answer was a reply to this very question.

Because this was mentioned in the most recent magazine article, so I tweeted Pete about it.

ok ok. but still hurry up pete and tell us our fears are unneccisary and that armor is in seperate pieces

It would mean that the variations we see are the result of smithing.

Essentially, we would be able to smith a wider variety of armor than in any other TES game, but that armor would be organized as single complete suits. Todd might assume that armor + accessories is enough for our beefed up enchanting abilities...

I hope this is what they meant. I really really hope so.

I'm pretty sure what the article meant was that in your inventory armor of the same type will be combined together into one suit to cut down on clutter.

And I'm going to agree with a lot of people here if they did do armor in suits and not separate pieces anymore, it would kind of be a deal breaker.

Maybe some other people with a twitter should tweet him..?

He hasn't answered his twitter in about 13 hours, so he's probably just busy.

Yea and he also said it's "multiple" pieces. I'll go by that rather than a likely mixup in this magazine.

You're making your self get upset from assuming to much. Yes H2H has been cut as a skill. Does that meen you can't punch? No you can still punch but it does not count as a skill becuase H2H as a skill does not fit the Skyrims game mechanics. You are right about one thing though.... you can whine and cry as much as you bloody well please, but you're just making yourself upset over a video game which is silly :tongue:. A word of advise....you can cry and whine all you want but its not going to change anything, its Bethesda's game and they do as they wish with it and what they think is best and I'm sure they are aware of people like you crying and complaning over somthing that they don't like. Bethesda improved some things from the feed back from Oblivion and yet fans are still crying and :swear:. Than TES VI will come around and more fans will find more things to complain and nitpick about that they don't like. Its the same cycle. Daggerfall fans hated the idea of Morrowind than they loved it, than Oblivion came around and they hated it, than know they love it, and now Skyrim has finally come around and people are hating some things. Skyrim will ship and people will love it.

my only agenda is finding out if this information is true or not. say what you like but you are wrong about me. i forgive you though.

However, they could have changed their mind since then, for whatever reason.
Wouldn't be a first.

btw: If so many people already have the magazine, how come we don't have any ... "visual confirmations" yet?

I though about this too, although it makes more sense for armor to be combined together into an inventory slot (that would then open a separate tab with the individual pieces) than for clothing. Having every piece of clothing be part of a "suit" sounds sketchy.

Uh, for one, if you think Elder Scrolls is just a "Video game" you should just get out now, because to everyone else its much more than that. Its an experience in a different world that we have been with for a very long time. Theres lore, adventure, action, relationships and much more. Its more than just a game to me, even if it isn't to you.

Also, Bethesda might have developed the game, but its not theirs. Without us, TES would just be a forgotten memory known for 1-2 games. Without us fans, Morrowind wouldn't be seen as one of the best RPG's of all time. So no, its not really their game, its ours.

Let's assume the above for the time being, lest our minds explode in anger.

On the plus side, even if there were single suits........ Fallout 3, while it had single suits? The framework for pieces was there, and modders discovered it. Which lead to mods like Tailor Maid, which gave lots of pieces to build armor out of. So this could potentially be "fixed" with a mod.

Of course, that'd svck for console users.


Still, I can't believe they'd do that - multi-piece armor has been a big feature of previous TES games. (It's also not a real trend... every MMO and ARPG has piecemeal armor. Even Mass Effect 2 had it.)


Fallout 3 had single suits because FO1 & 2 did. And, except for the Raiders, mixed-up armor wouldn't really make much sense - between Power Armor, various jumpsuits, and Combat Armor, most "real" gear matched. :shrug:

I never said anything about me "hating" when people complain. I said it gets annoying when theres so much negativity. Atleast some can talk some positive side of things and give Bethesda some props for all they have done? People are taking this way to seriously, its a video game they should be looking at the positive side of things and enjoy that instead of the negative imo. :shrug:

Calling people crybaby's and whiners is pretty negative too, dude.

uh, what?

I'm pretty sure there are pictures with two characters wearing the same gloves with different armor...
