Outfit should matter : V - Skyrim

Guards of imperial cities will say that stormcloak armor is starting to annoy them and vice versa, don't know if they will attack you eventually.

Anyone know if they react to Necromacers robes similar as they did in Oblivion, people even asking if your mad to wear such a thing.

Guards ignore the Necro robes. The Vigilants sure get uppity with you though. Including robes with the skull design that don't even mention being "Necromancer robes" that sometimes spawn as loot.

Or for crying out loud, the Stormcloaks should probably start to attack me immediately when I wear my imperial armor and imperial sword. It would also be cool if you were to wear fancy clothes and that guy Nazeem in Whiterun would treat you like a noble.

I kill him every playthrough. Annoying snobby git.
And those guys with curved swords by the town gates.
Every time.
Secret if I can. Otherwise... meh... I can always pay off the guards.

Does anyone else agrees...I think that outfit you wear should affect the way everyone interacts with you..ie thives guild armor---> guards want to arrest you (hides your identity)
dark brotherhood armor----> guards want to kill you(hides your identity)
And so on.....What are your opinions on this

I fully agree on this. It was implemented in TES:IV at least at one point I remember. I killed a necromancer somewhere and chose to wear his robes. When I wanted to address the Argonian leader of Chorrol's mages guild in order to acquire his recommendation, he denied talking to me because I was wearing this robe.
I was curious how people in Riverwood reacted to me wearing the opposition's outfit when entering conversation with them. As they didn't react, I took down a note for my roleplaying to keep things like that in mind.

That was one of the coolest parts of FNV. They really did it by installing the player into factions, if I remember correctly. If you wore NCR armor, you were put into a subset of the NCR faction, and then everyone who hated the NCR hated you. Seems pretty easy to put in, but what do I know. If I recall, they did this with Shivering Isles and the Heretic robes...

I definetly would like to see imperial/stormcloak recognition. Would be nice if guards auto-attacked TG/DB armor too. And by corollary, to be able to hide wearing guard armor... I do like to rp sneaking through dungeons, both in fallout or in TES, by wearing the appropriate armor. Yeah, the raiders didn't react to me wearing raider armor, but if I were in this situation, I'd def try to blend in. And that includes me trying to get rid of Gunjar's armor before I go to Whiterun, since Ralof tells me that it's not Stormcloak territory.

Actually if you wore stormcloak armor in an imperial town the guards would just say "I respect your opinions even though i may not agree with them". Imperials are no barbarians.

One time an Imperial told me he was getting sick of my Stormcloak attire. But it is true; Imperials are much more tolerant of everything else. Maybe that is why they were so tolerant of getting owned by their smallest province

Certain aspects of faction armors and similar stuff should be implemented...I mean you could kill nearly entire riften and mjoli (who is what protector of riften) would still follow you, and probably marry you...What's wrong with that picture....
