Skyrim has really ugly dresses : V - Skyrim

But since the "headache bug" has not been repaired, he won't even sleep in the same bed, so no luck there. *sigh*

*laughs!* I haven't heard it called that. I like it.

And I agree about giving decent clothes, for women *or* men.

I was also dissappointed that the clothes are so boring

. I like the Nightingale armor and the archmage-robe though.

Yes, Hugo Boss left http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/Bundesarchiv_Bild_146-2008-0276%2C_Hans_Heinrich_Lammers.jpg on fashion.

I bet Hugo Boss is happy that hardly anyone remembers who designed this well known clothes. :biggrin:

You all seem to forget two things, its bloody cold and there is a war so most of the money is going in to swords and armor

Most the clothes I saw in Skyrim were simply ghastly. The few I did like, such as the Noble clothes, I never could find them.

A person usually doesn't care about aesthetics when they are in the blighted cold.

I think the clothes are realistic for Skyrim and that they should be still like this for the dlc.

I love how you get a quest to show a "new" outfit to the Jarl for a dressmaker and it looks like it's been dragged through the mud and chewed on by skeevers. Bethesda needs to get their head out of Fallouts ass when it comes to making clothing, Skyrim isn't apocalyptic, you can buy NEW clothes.

Thankfully, we have modders to fix the mistaken ideas of those without fashion sense, like yourself and Bethesda.

At first I was a little disappointed, but later on I actually became somewhat relieved about the lack of nice clothing in Skyrim. Though I love to play dollhouses in various games, Skyrim is a nice break of my dessing up games, and helps me to perceive my character as a capable adventuring hero rather than yet another epic prime doll in an epic soap opera. And yet I manage to mix match something original and good looking for my various special purpose sets, such as alchemy set, smithing set, pickpocket set, shopping set etc. They're cute enough (as far cute as an argonian can get), and have their respective roleplaying elements as well.

My character is female but she doesn't want a dress. She is an adventurer wandering through a harsh environment. She need pants. I don't want all the clothes I buy magically turning into dresses. Also a lot more clothing styles. Thank god for modders.

Uh.... Skyrim isn't a dress-up doll. If you wanna dress up, try the Sims or something...

Look on the realistic side, people in Skyrim needs thick, warm clothing.. not some pretty clothing just for looking good, and I'm sure you can get better clothing with mods, so why complain?

Plus all the fine boots are ugly
in oblivion we got blue suede shoes, black gold trimmed shoes, and so much pretty shoes.
The fine shoes in skyrim are gross and just look like normal brown boots.
Plus both of the fine boots looks the exact same on females.

Wear Thalmor boots then.... or those ones with the gold coin-bits on the side.

You play your game and those of us who like to dress up our characters will play our game.

Just don't tell anybody else how to play. This is a single player game. All of us will play how we damn well please.

I wish some talented modder would release Ysolda from her tatty old blue dress, something black and skimpy would suffice.

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 9:14 pm

If it wasn't for the whole debacle with Steam and all that.... I'd probably be on top of the modding once the kit came out...
Shame really.
I used to really enjoy making new clothing for Morrowind.

» Wed Jun 13, 2012 9:24 am

I actually don't mind half of them....the chef dress is the prettiest, I wanted to give my wife Yolanda it to wear...but sadly, no dice. Thats my only 'complaint' about it...Although, I did love the gowns available in Shivering Isles...

I do play The Sims, thank you very much, and I don't see why I can't play both. <_<

And take it from someone who lives in a place where it can get bitterly cold every winter: there's nothing that prevents cold weather clothing from looking good if you put some effort into it. Of course, most people (at least in a non-industrial society) are going to focus more on practicality than fashion, but that's true in any sort of climate.

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 7:59 pm

That's it. Getting the Chef's dress is the very next thing on my To Do list. Need something pretty for when I go to town.

on the topic of outfits, i made a redguard swordsman and just could not get him too look right because beth did not have greaves/pants seperate, i found pants that would work but they always had a damn shirt attatched :dry:

and on the occasions when i am a human assassin i cannot find a good outfit i would wear, something that would help me blend into the crowed while still looking half decent, and sometimes a trickster just wants to look nice (which is a very important part of being a rogue of any kind)

Also, the sheer number of clothing mods for past TES games tells us that PW is not in the minority here...

When exactly did I say I'm telling anyone how to play this game, huh? :glare:

I was simply suggesting to those who wanna dress up should "try" playing the Sims because of the large selection of "decent" clothing.

And didn't I already mention to try downloading mods for clothings?

See? These are all just suggestions.

I found two sets of the Noble clothes in the East Empire Shipping place, on a shelf. They're out in the open so easy to get, but you have to steal them.

I ended up murdering a Thane so I could get her Fur-lined cloak. Thankfully this character had no moral problem with that.

I just wonder why the stitching looks like something a caveman would do.

One assumes the stitching was done by Nords, so...there's your answer, really. Drunk Nordic seamstresses.

One thing I really like about Skyrim's clothing is that skimpy outfits aren't prevalent.

One thing I really hate about Skyrim's clothing is the lack of variety. It's especially bad when it comes to male clothing.

Yes and yes. Also, one holdover from Oblivion that I really don't care for: pants magically turn into dresses when worn by women. ...My female PC likes pretty dresses as much as her Morrowind/Oblivion predecessors, but it's cold in Skyrim, dammit. Sometimes a girl would like to wear pants. Especially when hiking through knee deep snow drifts.

Sigh. At least with the advent of the CK, there will be clothing mods.

... but http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/2/20/Human_dress_render.jpgwouldn't and would certainly fit.

Please pardon me while I paw at the screen. :drool:

See, that's the thing. We're NORDS. It's warm here to us. Nords are half immune to magical cold. That means non-magical cold is pretty much a nice balmy day.

Bethesda seems to have forgotten this, however, since Nord soldiers are constantly whining about the cold. It makes sense for the Redguard and Cyrodiils to be huddled in blankets, but it's not necessary for every jarl to have a big fur coat.

Don't need to even touch that Steam Workshop crap for modding. Just use the Nexus like everyone else. Steam Workshop is going to be a big bust.

Yes, but the Nords are an advanced early modern era civilisation, with metalworking and textile production. One would assume they were capable of producing a needle more accurate than a bone awl.

I personally like the outfits; they're practical and useful as expected of a warrior culture.
