I do not like the option to conceal a worn helmet without losing the benefits of wearing it. If there are no benefits... then just take it off.

As much as I still hold to the standpoint that if someone doesn't like the way an element looks in the game, they should download Blender and model their own elements and then mod them into the game, I am forced to ask the question, "Why not allow Helmets to be toggled invisible. This is not like an MMO where everyone sees what other players are wearing (and even MMOs have cosmetic toggle options). This is a single player game that one may play for their own amusemant. Whether they prefer to cheat with console commands, or mod something out, or whatever they prefer to do has absolutely no bearing on anyone's gameplay experience but their own. So why should they be ridiculed for it?

Now I do have to say that any furture cosmetic options that may or may not get added should take an EXTREME back seat to bug fixes and actual gameplay mechanics. But if harmless requests like this can be fulfilled in the process, they should be.

Precursor give it up. You are arguing with people who argue just for the sake of it. I was talking to some of the people posting here on another thread and it became clear to me that Skyrim is 100% percent perfect in every way according to them and anyone who does not think so is just trolling.

My opinion: I don't want to look at helmets that blow hard. I don't want them on my head. I don't want them on other people's heads. I don't mind them being on the heads of people who are out of my line of sight, I am okay with that.

I am happy for people who like the ghastly hideous headwear to wear them at all times in their game for it is not my game they are playing it is their own. I am not happy for some clown to tell me or anyone else that a feature that would hurt nobody and is completely optional should not be in the game. I've said before there are people who lurk these boards just waiting for something negative to be said about Skyrim so they can fiercely defend it just for the hell of it and increasingly I am convinced it's the vast majority of people on here which really, is kind of sad.

Ok, it is an immersion breaker for you. Don't use it. Simple fix. For the people that couldn't give 2 sharts about "immersion" this is a very nice feature to have. How does restricting my gameplay improve yours any? People have tons of Larp Derp rules and limitations in their game, they apply their own rules. This includes but is not limited to using Fast Travel. That option however, does nothing to hamper your game. The more options, the better.

See a helmet you don't like the looks of? Don't wear it. Nobody's forcing you to wear one. There are always other options. Or a circlet, if you don't like the helms. The perks are for those who are willing to make the Aesthetic Freedom vs. Armor Functionality tradeoff.

In fact, perks like "Matching Set" (Or is it "Custom Fit") is made to reward you for having a consistent appearance, instead of deciding to go look like... that dude from that one Penny Arcade strip.

Oh right, thanks for that. Next time my mage puts a hat on that looks like he's got a [censored] sticking out of his head I'll remember it's 'awesome'.

Because the headwear in Skyrim looks awesome.

I'd sure love an option to hide helmet as well. It's an option available in just about every other RPG out there these days. It wasn't always so- Just a couple of years ago, this same argument was going on the boards of many other games, with pretty much the same arguments being made. By and large, the "yes, provide the option" side won the argument, judging by how many games started to include it.

Bu whatever. I'm on PC, so I can use a mod. I've never asked for anything to be included or kept out of a game that would affect anyoe's gameplay but my own. I really just can't fathom the kind of personality required to argue against something that would have absolutely no effect on the arguer whatsoever. I mean really, what kind of a control freak do you have to be to be so dead set against something that doesn't affect you?

If you get the Arch-Mage outfit you can have both a hood and dragon priest masks.

An option to open the faceplate of your helmet(for closed helmets) would be cool but I dont see this feature being added anytime soon.

Sounds good, have always wondered how my Khajiit get her head inside the full helmets.

Just sit there and watch them

So, wait, you all want a game with 'more consequences,' and then you go and ask for a way to make your helmet invisible because it looks ugly and you want the stats. Make up your minds, people.

Ask them what they think about 3rd person view.
