Wow - female armor is gorgeous

Post » Wed May 30, 2012 9:48 am

I was totally disappointed in how armor looks in the game. Playing an Argonian male, my armor was restricted to few clothes and helmet-less Dragonscale. The rest just did not look good on my character.

Then I saw Forsworn female. Used console to switch my character to Breton female for testing purposes. The ugly Forsworn headdress, and somewhat decent forsworn body armor, transformed into awesome female armor. Female version is nothing like the male version.

Then I tried that nice Guard armor. It's a really nice armor even for a male, but how elegant it looks on a female char, wow. Although, without helmet is better. With circlet of matching color, the character looks like a princess.

I noticed something very interesting with few other armor pieces: main problem Argonians have is bulky armor. Lizards and bulky armor just doesn't fit IMHO. But female versions of the same armor are slim. It's very similiar to how male armor for Argonians is supposed to look like (ok, it's exactly the same minus briasts). Though, some pieces still look too bulky and huge.

The only armor that looks better in male version is Dragonscale.

Take armor + add boob slots = female armor.

Cmon this isn't a boob thread. Female armor is sometimes quite different than male one. Forsworn armor is the best example.

Yeah I really liked how Dark Brotherhood armor was worn by my Argonian, or sack cloth pants. Skinny armor fit my playstyle. Sack cloth pants like a boss.

I think Orcish armor goes well with Argonians. It has a scaley vibe to it.

Oh yes it is. Imagine a DD version of the Ebony armor :hubbahubba:

However, i armor and weapon looks in general are much better then Oblivion, though i did prefer how elven weapons looked in Oblivion, especially the claymore.

The Ancent Nord Helmet (which can be crafted eventually) looks completely different dependant on six

if you are female it has antlers on it.

if you are male it has downward curving horns like a kind of upgrade to the "classic" Skyrim iron helm used in the promotional art etc.

was quite annoying tbh when i figured this out and couldn't put it on female characters and followers with the look i wanted.

so...its not just boob related :P

Imagine being able to customize that part in the character creation screen, the "Show Us Your Character" thread would have to be renamed the "Blimp" thread! :drool:
