Option to hide shoulder pats

[Jesseriah]

Hi!

 

I would love an option to hide shoulder pats for all armors (like the transmog system in WoW does for example).

 

Thanks!

It would be a moderately large piece of work because of the need to redesign all the chest pieces with Darth wings, curlicues, doodads, and so on so that the "shoulder pad" would be a distinct sub-element, and that in the more "close fitting" shoulders (obviously that doesn't include Darth wings), there is actually a set of geometry and texture *under* the pad. (If the shoulder pad sits directly *on* the shoulder, there's no reason in the current system to put geometry under it to represent the main shoulder. With hideable shoulder pads, there is.)

 

But yes. (Comparison with GW2's shoulder-hiding system is inappropriate because in GW2 shoulders are separate armour slots...)

The whole hilarity of the some of the more outrageous armor if you wore them in real life:

 

Shoulder ornaments / pauldrons / spaulders:

1) Must traverse standard doors one-shoulder-first

2) Turning around will most likely decapitate anyone near you

3) Anyone in battle can simply lasso one of those suckers and down you go

4) Fitting into a typical car only works if you leave the door open

5) No sitting side-by-side at the dinner table, on a park bench, or bus

6) The ones with scythe-like hooks and spikes must be registered as weapons

 

Over-engineered bracers:

1) Lifting one's hand to one's face to drink or eat results in loss of eyesight (unless wearing helmet, see below)

2) Reaching across the table for the salt will slice through the forearm of the person next to you

3) Bouncing babies on your lap while wearing particularly spiky bracers is a bad idea

4) See pauldrons #3 regarding lassos

5) Combatants risk "bracer lock" if they manage to hook their bracers together during a fight (see: deer)

6) Good news: multiple hooks to hang purses, grocery bags, and such

 

Helmets from hell:

1) For some helmets, walking through a standard door requires stooping

2) Hooks / attached utilitarian machinery makes you a prime candidate for being lassoed (see above)

3) Force-blind in real life, your ability to determine your bearings while wearing some helmets is greatly curtailed

4) Walking under trees might prove problematic

 

Boots from hell:

1) Depending on the boot's hooks, soldiers can't help but walk lock-step because their boots have locked together

2) Running at any speed at all risks immediate permanent damage to one's patellas

3) Crossing one's legs while sitting down might be the last thing you ever do

Yes! Can we also have an option to hide the ugly capes? So many good armor sets are ruined by ridiculous capes.\Would be nice to be able to turn them off as they are ugly and clip the mounts.

My contribution to this thread is to ask for Kamas to originate on the waist, off belts, instead of on chest pieces. Edited March 7, 2022 by TonyTricicolo
