Can we just take a second to talk about how great (most) of the armor in skyrim is? It kinda sucks that most of the armor mods in the steam workshop for female characters are really sexualized, though.

Sorry I didn’t answer earlier! Got really busy lately and tended to glance over BABD inbox without writing back :(.

Truth is, I never played Skyrim, so I really can’t comment on outfits in the game, be it for female or male characters.
But definitely agreed on mods, as this post exemplifies.

Readers, any opinions on female armors in Skyrim?

Regarding my pic for the ‘spandex chainmail’ post, I got it from a Google image search, and I think that came from a Skyrim modding site. The scary thing is, that wasn’t the worst. There were several full torso shots showing that they had chainmail ‘camel toe’ too. And I thought the idea of a chainmail wedgie from a battle bikini was bad…

(the ask is referring to this post, of course)

That’s just… upsetting.

I don’t know if I wanna go googling for female armor ever again.

Regarding the Skyrim mods I’ve had an ask about those waiting for a while in my inbox, gonna publish it right after this post.

Just adding: Wearing chainmail over your naked body would be the most fucking uncomfortable thing ever. Aside from metal being cold, having it brush against your skin constantly would really hurt after a while.

This! Though “having it brush against your skin constantly would really hurt after a while” is misunderstanding of the century, so let’s make it clear:

WEARING CHAINMAIL DIRECTLY ON YOUR BODY WOULD PEEL YOUR SKIN OFF.
