Issues with armor shoulders moving out of their place

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:25 am

I don't know if anyone has noticed this but did you ever wore a daedric armor (chest) and noticed that when you move forward (walk and run) the armor's shoulder guards are moving out of their place and you can see it all red where they used to be? This thing is happening with all the armors that have stand - alone shoulder guards, I mean that are not part of their armor texture...

I don't know about you guys but this issue is driving me crazy! It just ruins the whole armor! And also the game! I really hope they would fix this at 1.6...

So do you know what I am talking about? What do you think? And do you think it actually matters to create this topic? Would bethesda see it and would add this issue to their fix list?

If you're talking about what I think you are, it's because the pauldron armature bones aren't animated properly.

I think we are talking about the same thing but just to be sure - Wear a daedric armor and look how the shoulders move and then wear a dragon bone armor and look at the shoulders... Thats what I am talking about!
So if the armors aren't animated properly do you think beth will fix that?

In all likelihood, no. The rigging of the meshes themselves are pretty awful, it's like they just auto-generated it using the weight envelopes. Thus, you get wonderful things like the pauldrons on the larger of the two types of steel armor when worn by female chars. Or the funky armpits on the steelplate and ebony armors.
