What attracts modders to the TES games (Skyrim more specifically)

Because they are easy to mod and there's already tons of modders putting out tons of information on it so it's a hell of a lot easier to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.

> There is no reason for boobplate to exist, it's a pointless feature used to rope in 12-year-olds.

False.

Many people love the style of sexy armors, even women. Just because you see some old 30 year old jealous feminists go on a crusade against sexy women, with journalists on the internet, doesn't mean that the general public supports them. Even women like these sort of armors and saying that it's pointless and used to rope in children is just simply not true. The notion that boob armor shouldn't exist in video games is just an opinion that should be discarded because it gets in the way of creativity.

>>385253756
>>385253960
It would hinder movement drastically, which armour already did to a small extent. Extend your hands outwards as far as you can reach without effort. Now press them together, as if you'd do a prayer, but harder. You feel that tightness beside your underarm? That's what it'd be like if you wore boob plate.

>>385254464
Eh, I'd argue that variety and diversity would take a hit. If it's fantasy, you really shouldn't try to point out where it's unrealistic. It's fantasy for a reason. If I wanted to play a barbarian, I better have some bear pelts draped on my shoulders, with my bare chest for all to see.

>>385254859

>>385252356
>garden of eden kit and its TES equivalent was given almost as soon as the game was released.

>>385254885
The boobplate in OPs pic isn't even big enough to hinder any movement.

>>385253756
desu my beef with boobplate is the fact that all female soldiers in the army has to get their armor outfitted specially for them, for every single one that joins the army, since every female has a different breast size, no king is going to spend that much on infantry, something that's supposed to die in the first 5 minutes of combat

>>385254464
>grounded within its own world. There is no reason for boobplate to exist
It doesn't even realize that it's contradicting itself.

>>385255105
Every single plate armor in history was tailored for the individual soldier. This was not a problem then and shouldn't be a problem in fictional video games.

Because women in practical armor is what true patricians find sexy, and the amount of content in comparison to comical titty armor is tiny.

I unironically fap to stuff like this.

>>385255226
There is no contradiction in that statement. Unless people swing like old grannies, any amount of force to the chest is going to be amplified by boobplate and crush the wearer's sternum.

>>385255275
Yeah, because only nobility could actually afford full plate armor.

>>385254885
It's not about hindering movement, it's literally a booby trap for it's wearer.

If you fall down on your boobplate, or get hit by a mace, it will destroy your breasts, will probably break your bones, and crush your lungs and heart.

>>385255656
>How is that different from regular plate armor?
Are you joking right now? Regular plate is going to bounce the attack away from the chest, glancing it like a shell against slanted tank armor. Titty armor literally creates a crevice in which blows will be directed into the sternum, causing severe damage to internal organs and your ribcage.

>>385255778
Literally any excuse you could write up can be countered with the fact that regular armor would still be superior.
>What if titty armor had a magical barrier that helped it?
Apply the same magical barrier to regular armor, it's more comfortable and protective when the barrier fails.

>>385255838
Sorry, you have shit taste, it can't be helped I know.

>>385255914
thats not what i mean when i say you can write around it

this issue doesnt even need to raised in game because its obtuse and not readily apparent

if a women falls over with a boobplate she can just get up uninjured

or not fall over in the first place or fall over on her back or side

So which armor mod is OPs picture wearing.

>>385255090
What, the golden boob plate? No, but the ridges on it, the abs, make it a bit fragile, for the lack of a better word. Still, it wouldn't have been worn in battle, it's got fancy embroidery, would take much longer to repair, let alone make. It would only have been worn to show off, not for battle. Maybe duels. Maybe.

>>385255545
Yes, you are correct. Usually the whole breastplate has a curve to it. If the plate is pressed up against the skin, the wearer is going to feel the full brunt of the attack.

>>385255914
If there's magic involved, then it doesn't matter at that point.

>>385256294

>>385256251

Why wouldn't booby-plate just be a decorative material applied to a functional armor? I.e., just cast the embellishments (breasts, abs, etc) in a weak material like plaster and then affix it to a functional armor? The plaster will just shatter instead of damaging the wearer or armor underneath.

>>385253160

Nigger please, the best fictional series go into absolute autistic depth about the physical and elemental properties of their magic and how it originates, fully convincing you that shit could work with only the tiniest bit of disbelief.

It's not magic, but my absolute favorite sort of sci-fi system is the defensive shields in Dune that deflect any movements above a specific speed. So the books go into great detail about the fighting styles that soldiers develop in order to trick the shields into allowing knives and other shit through them.

>>385253662

her source is her gaming and tumblr come on. anybody who has wielded a sword knows that your chest is the least likely spot you are going to take a blow as it's the most well guarded by anyone with a sword in front of them fencing notwithstanding. generally you wouldn't use a sword on someone in plate armor as it doesn't do much good against it anyhow and if anything the curvature of the boobs would chip the blade rather than guide the sword into you. if you are taking on someone with plate armor you are better of with an axe or a club something that can crush them in their armor. maybe even a broadsword which once again is not something you stab with. greaves and gauntlets are much more important as your arms and legs are the place most likely to be hit by a sword blow. the reality is boob plate barely existed in the first place not because it was impractical but because it was extremely rare throughout history where a woman would be fighting a war on a battlefield and need to be encased in armor. they made better archers and stuff which didn't require so much armor as it was a hindrance. a woman in plate armor on a battlefield boob plate or normal plate is going to get crushed by a larger male foe regardless.

>>385255275

the chest is the last place you are likely to take a sword hit as it's the most well guarded and jabs with any sword big enough to do anything to plate armor is too risky as if you miss you are fucked. typically your greaves or gauntlets and shoulder pauldrons would take the hit if anything.

Probably because in the middle of a war you don't have time to watch for the enemy weakpoints and attack it for massive damage, bring the fucker down ASAP then get ready because you have 10 other assholes aiming for you, that's why people used maces in the real, one hit in the chest and the guy in armor can't get up, that's all that matters.

Mace was used more like a side weapon than a main weapon like the sword anyway, people (those who could afford it) carried it around in battles just in case some knight fuck appeared.

I only care about the boobies

>>385252356
What other AAA games even have mod tools anymore?

Back to your final fantasy shit, shitter.

>>385260674
It's not like AAA is a mark of quality or anything, it just means it had a big budget

>>385252356
>what attracts modders to the most moddable fantasy rpgs there are

hmm i wonder

Todd, obviously. We all love him and he loves us.

The people you share this opinion with are so unbelievably rare that it would be down right stupid for a developer to cater to your preference.

Bethesda's budget must be going straight into Todd's pockets then because there's zero quality to any of the work they do.

Obviously because Bethesda made both TES and Fallout series as moddable as possible.
They even released a software specially for that end.

Skyrim is the most popular because its the most recent TES game.
Once a new one comes out it will take its place.

This.

>HAHAHA SKYRIM SUCKS RIGHT GUISES

I like how you idiots have the need to show how "cool" you still are after playing a game /v/ hates.

>>385261354
I bet the next Witcher game will go for a more player customizable setting (considering Geralt's storyline is over) alongside modding.

>>385261354
Witcher 3 base game sucks.
It could have been the best shit ever if it was as modded as Skyrim but nope.
Stuck with shitty plot, copy-paste world and sidequests, and boring combat.
The DLCs were amazing though.

>>385252356
The next Elder Scrolls game will have paid mods.

I'm currently doing a similar playthrough, except no pregnancy mods because BF is way too script-heavy for my current load order. Besides, a Succubus being able to get pregnant in the first place seems a bit unrealistic.

I'm pretty much focusing in Destruction, Illusion, Conjuration and such. Pretty much every magic school except maybe Restoration and Enchanting (is that even a school of magic?). Also, I'm currently roleplaying as the daughter of the prince of debauchery himself. Fun stuff.
