And before you say it, no, I am not one of those fucktard SJWs who gets personally offended by the existence of titties in video games and believes that the "male gaze" is equivalent to the holocaust (or would be, if it was real). I don't hate revealing armour because it's "objectifying", I hate it because it's FUCKING STUPID. If I'm wearing armour, or fighting against enemies that are wearing armour, that armour should look like it actually protects the wearer. Look at this shit. Whenever I see a female bandit wearing this it looks like I could just plunge my sword into her neck, or take one of her arms off. But I can't, because this is apparently "armour".
If I want to create an armoured female character, I want her to look like she's protected by armour. If I want to create a female character in a skimpy outfit to coom to, I will just unequip the armour, or wear a different outfit.
>but user it's just fantasy it's not meant to be realistic! There's a difference between unrealistic and "completely fucking retarded". Unrealistic is fighting daedra and mages and minotaurs and shit in a land filled with elves and lizard people. Completely fucking retarded is this fucking armour, which is on the same level as defeating daedra and minotaurs and wizards with an inflatable rubber horse dildo. Because that would be as effective as a weapon as pic related would be as armour.
Jesus Christ it even has a gap in the boobs to stick a blade through. God damn right I mad.
Who said I was? I'm just pissed off at its appearance on the female NPCs.
But if I did want to play as a woman, I might want to play as a woman who isn't completely stupid (yes, I know, this is fantasy) and goes to fight against evil cultists and world ending demons while wearing something that actually stops a sword blow.
The iron set is just as bad. Holy fuck. I can forgive this on the Dark Seducers because they're daedra of madness but who in the fuck sane would actually wear something like this?
>you're trying WAY too hard to fit in zoom zoom. I was here for 7M GET. I'm sure an oldfag like you will be able to tell me what it was without googling.

There's far better things for me to coom to than Bethesda characters.
Justin Cox
I don't know what to say user, looks like it protects the wearer to me
before that i used the nord dancer girl in suran + better bodies no regrets
Evan White
Daedric is one of the ones that aren't completely awful. Romans didn't have retarded armour either, though. Except for gladiators, who were slaves expected to die.
Josiah Cox
Play a different game you massive faggot
Daniel Martinez
Besides the edges designed to catch a blow, this isnt that bad as far as fantasy armours go user, plenty of armour didnt cover the entire body it's not a big deal, just about as unrealistic as a woman beating a man in a physical confrontation
Nathaniel Cook
>wanting extra heavy armor on
that doesn't make physical sense this is literally you think youdo but you don't. She wouldn't be able to move in that armor you pleb. fucking THINK.
Joseph Garcia
>imagine playing oblivion over morrowind or skyrim Worst of both worlds.
Sebastian Harris
>just about as unrealistic as a woman beating a man in a physical confrontation I know, which is why they need all the help they can get. And that armor isn't helping.
Jason Phillips
Yes I know, but hypothetically imagine a woman who is strong enough to wear chainmail.

Gladiators weren't expected to die you faggot, the fights were for show
Aaron Gutierrez
Your pic is more armored than hoplites, full armor covering everything is not the norm.
Jack Gonzalez
idk why you are bitching about this, especially when most of the armor is fine (only the iron, gladiator and dark seducers + saints are somewhat skimpy). This is no reason to stop playing a timeless classic like oblivion. There are also some genuine things to criticise about the game like the level scaling and this is what you come after?
