i think it looks cool to have a heavy cuirass and a long skirt almost like a templar.

I like skirts. And pants. And skirts over greaves. And greaves over pants. I'm not sure we'll get all those back to wear at the same time. Still it would be lovely to at least be able to choose skirts or pants regardless of gender. If my lady wants pants or my gent wants a skirt... why not? My characters are all secure enough in themselves to wear whatever they darnwell please.

Ever been beaten up by a guy dressed like a chick? - Of course I wan't skirt-over-greaves back!

I have roots in Scotland(still have me clan name ) and I take some pride in that so I'll vote yes for skirts for you. Although I do not approve of the brightly colored plaid girly-boy skirts, long sissy white socks, and fancy white vested shirts that they call traditional now. I will approve of the fur, leather and darker fabric kilts worn by the Mel Gibson in Braveheart, or members of the bands Clanadonia and Albannach as quick examples off the top of my head...

Great kilt: http://www.kiltmen.com/greatkilt.jpg or just google the three I mentioned up there.

Not that I expect to see kilts in the game but I will support the skirts

Off topic, but related, something else we need in skyrim are fur animal cloaks, not the hooded cape type that you typically think of, but the kind a Viking or a Scottish warrior would have worn.

Edit: Also didn't really notice this before but on page 49 of the GI mag in the one screen of the dude hunting it looks like he has on a tunic(very similar to Link's tunic) And then on page 51 in the picture of the man slicing another man you can clearly see kilt looking apparel. I'm not sure if that is just over hang from the cuirass or greaves or if it's its separate. Either way looks awesome and just figured I'd point those out for others to check out.

Remember it's very bad luck not to be hanging free wearing a kilt. Careful with that 3rd person cam.

In Oblivion my problem was mostly the other way around. My female characters doesn't always wear dresses. I'd imagine them as rather masculine in their dresscode.

But I agree. I wish I could join the scotsmen of the threaad in their awesome accents, but my Swedish sounds will do. I think dresses and kilts should be in and gender shouldn't change clothes more than how it fits over the characters body. And clothes should have different slots from armour.

I would like pants and skirts that don't randomly change into one another, very much, yes so. *nod*

Being female, I usually play a female character, [and cart about a male companion or two >.>] and I don't want them to turn into a skirt every time I put them on my character. If I want a skirt, I'd rather pick a skirt. If I want pants, gimme pants, damn it.

The regular clothing in Oblivion is not magical as far as I know. WHY ARE THEY GENDER MORPHING?!

to be honest, I thought my morrowind char looked ridiculous in a skirt, would only wear one when I could wear it under my robes (which oddly enough were purple, lol, not ridiculous at all...), the only real point to it was an extra slot to enchant. As bethesda seems to be continuing the trend of simplifying things (no more pauldrons, etc.), I doubt the skirt slot will come back. Most likely you'd
get the occasional kilt. If you really want to look like a highlander, mod in a costume.

I don't see why this needs to be a poll, but I agree, skirts should be seperate items from pants. If I want my male character's to wear skirts, I should be able to, same goes for wanting female characters to wear skirts. And for those who don't want their male characters to wear skirts, there's always the option to, you know, just not wear them, it's not that hard to choose not to wear a piece of clothing that you don't want to wear. I've done it all the time in Morrowind.

+1. More clothing options is good. Magical morphing clothes is scary.

It should be skirt OR trousers, though. Not an extra slot. If you're going to wear trousers under your skirt, you're obviously not 100% comfortable with it

This is going to escalate into braveheart way to quickly.

oh, i want long skirts aswell

:P And yeah, no more gender fixing clothes. I fully agree. It makes zero sense, and reduces the choices in clothing.

war skirts are actually a must, unless you like frozen nuts. :cold:

actually I had a mod in OB that had armor skirts (chainmail, leather, elven, mithril) it was a great mod, armor without a skirt is just lame, it looks sort of unfinished, that's my opinion however.

in MW they looked great when combined with Indoril armor and steel plate very kinghtly

All I really ask is that they don't make nether garments change depending on the character's six. So, if I find Tan Linens of Tallness they stay pants even if I'm a girl. Of course I realize that the guys who go into a dither when faced with having to wear the Pink Ruffled Skirt of Mega Strength are going to go into a catatonic fit trying to figure out whether to wear it or not. :hubbahubba:

I had completely forgotten about the layered clothes in Morrowind... Lol

Yes. Pants are for horse-riding barbarians; civilized people where kilts and robes.

... In Oblivion, the dwarven greaves had a skirt of sorts (more lie a wrap around) and looked pretty good. The legion's cuirass could be used without greaves for a roman legionnaire look... I also modded the female iron greaves into some male armor... looked pretty good.

Skirts should remove underwear if you're a male.

I'm so manly I don't need to wear cloths so it is not an issue with me, also I agree with that other poster doing feminine things in my eyes does not make you more of a man, more of a different man in my opinion.

drool and bask in the glory of skirts:

sorry the links are lamely long

Your threads are basically reworded versions of threads you've already made.

It's getting to a point that I groan whenever I see that you started a thread.

As a man of some Scottish ancestry I approve of wearing skirts in freezing environments.

Skirts? Pfffff.

A true warrior charges into battle wearing nothing but his woad!

The Scottish are British. You must mean the English. :thumbsup:
