Well, historically, heavy armor didnât have âboobsâ, because the way the chest was built, there was already a space between the body and the surface of the armor. But leather and cloth armor could be more adjusted to the body.
Agree
there is magic in this game, idk if we should care about that much about historical accuracy in a fantasy game lol

I mentioned this because the Devs have already used this argument for the design of the skins, now that they are more âfancifulâ with the skins.
the point is not accuracy. Its about looking feminine in my armor.
Weâre not receiving protection from the skins so whether or not its âtrue to real armorâ doesnât matter. We use skins everywhere⌠when chilling in town, gathering plants, etc so why canât it look good or be purely cosmetic? This is the first 3rd person game where i genuinely think we (our characters) look boring as hell. And Iâm not talking about glitter, magic, or whatever! Iâm talking about customization and preferences. Expression. I hate most of the colours they use on their skins, especially the colour combos they choose. Yellow and blue? Orange and green? Purple and murky brown? Not a fan. The breastplate for female armor would be perfectly okay/acceptable on game-armor and they already added a version in the game except its not a skin so we canât wear it!
My point is:
Theyâve added a skin with conches on it. Its not historical at all. It makes you look like a fish. Theres ones that make you look like dragons, and ones that make you look like a skeleton.
But making armor for the female body that shows their form is suddenly crossing the ârealismâ line?
I just donât buy it.
We donât go into battle dressed like Robin Hood. We donât go into battle dressed like a fish. Or a jester. Or court marshal. Its all just cosmetic! Why canât I look like a lady if the armor is just cosmetic? Why is that breaching the lines? LOL
FUN FACT:
There was plenty of âpurely cosmeticâ armor sets in the past, and one for men had a built in lump of metal protruding between their legs⌠If you know what I mean.
And thus purely cosmetic female armor isnât that far fetched.
I donât think that should be reason enough to completely prevent adding heavy cosmetic female armor variations

The real problem here for those who are not aware, is that there is one 1 (yes really, only 1) character avatar, and itâs a male model.
This means NO clothing in the game is going to look ârightâ until the devs create a female avatar.
I am 55 years old and have been gaming since my early 20âs. This is the ONLY MMO game I have ever played that did not have a female avatar. I canât even begin to imagine the real reason for this. And whatever it is, itâs likely a completely stupid reason.
I also want to mention Elden Ring, which for many years was several stand alone games known as the Dark Souls series. Only with the online version did female avatars become available for players. (At least, this is what I have read). It just boggles my mind that this was skipped in NW.

i dont really agree with this
Its not hyper sexualized, but its definitely feminine/female
The bigger problem is lack of feminine gestures/poses/walking
The newest twitch drop is a female skin. No man would wear that.
*uses potato graphics
*Worried about how character looks
.
Put some fem skins In the game though. Would be cool. And yes pls we would love to dye gear.
I only do it for wars because wars crash my games if i donât :')
I usually can run high graphics when im doing PVE, housing, and farming. I like my character to look good lol

Hi there wibblz, I love your suggestions here, and the photos really help prove your point. I will get this sent up to the Dev team for you so they can take a look as well. Have a great weekend!

I actually agree with her. My gf is irritated by stuff like this too. Some ladies just wanna look pretty, which isnt some kind of crime. We have like no customization regardless. Which brings me yet again to echo our desire for TRANSMOG.
this is because their game is horribly optimized and ruins the experience for anyone on anything lower than a 1080.
1060 should be enough for this game, theres basically no excuse. honestly half the time the game looks like that on max settings because their textures dont have a preloading option and you end up with blurry ass textures as you run through the map regardless of your specs, framerate or settings.
