Clothing in Oblivion - An Overview

  • Clothing in RPG's is often a topic that is overlooked, especially with pieces that don't offer any armor value or special enchantments.
    However, if you take out all of the clothing, you're going to be left with a very different world, and in my opinion it would also take half of the magic out of it.

    You brought up a great point here - Oblivion did a much better job with clothing than Skyrim. I think this was part of the trim-down process that they started doing from Morrowind. Oblivion's clothing had lot more color, texture, and vibrancy. I think this reflects well with Cyrodil being Tamriel's stand in for Rome or Constantinople. I do think Bethesda missed an opportunity with the clothing in Skyrim, they could have done a more traditional nordic style clothing.

      Skyrim’s clothing gives me ren fair vibes, especially the peasant lady clothing. They were obsessed with the the lace up bodice/corset thing, which automatically brings “medieval” looking outfits into the ren fair realm. I mean I do love that look, but I kind of want something more interesting from TES.

      How I *wish* that armor and clothing was like Arena, Daggerfall, (maybe Morrowind) and Oblivion in they came in pieces. Though I never played any Elder Scrolls games until Skyrim, have seen enough pictures and videos online to know what Skyrim players are missing out on.
      Also, *would* like men be able to crossdress in the next Elder Scrolls game like they can in Fallout 4. The reason being is that *originally* dresses *were* unisex historically speaking, worn by both genders, until dresses became strictly feminine.

    On the thing you mentioned about the people in the Shivering Isles wearing Victorian clothing, I don’t have any particular evidence for this, but I think it might be a roundabout way of referencing Alice in Wonderland. Which had a fairly decent influence on The Shivering Isles.
    Not a huge influence, but the design team might have been trying to give off a similar vibe at least.

      @hedgehog3180 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

      I don't really think that's the case. Mostly because their clothing isn't actually very Victorian but more Enlightenment Era. Like the use of silk fabrics, large collars especially for the men, and the dresses having draped fabrics is much more 18th and early 19th century than the Victorian era which tended to look more austere. I think the devs were trying to invoke the common trope of royal madness since this period is famous for stories about mad kings, and royal courts that held lavish and extravagent feasts while having no connection to the outside world. And like that's literally what's happening on the Shivering Isles, it's a place of madness disconnected from the rest of the world.

      I feel like around the time Shivering Isles came out, suddenly everyone was acting like Victorian / 19th century clothes are the best choice for every fantasy setting. You still see the influence of that today including at Ren Faires. It's so weird and confusing and makes me sad that people almost gave up on medieval clothing.

    @umbralobserver 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +66

    You kinda touch on this but I think it should be emphasized that when it comes to aesthetics, most especially in the clothes, Oblivion does in fact give us a taste of what real medieval people liked to wear. They would always wear the brightest and most richly colored clothing they could afford, and this is wonderfully built into the Oblivion's social status system. So while Oblivion's clothes obviously arent perfect representations, a medieval noblewoman would most assuredly want to wear the gorgeous blue silk outfit and the jewelry.

    Great video, I adore Oblivion so seeing people still making deep dive content on even the clothes after this long is amazing. Always enjoyed how different every city in Oblivion felt, which to me provided more of a variety compared to Skyrim's cities, despite one of the main criticisms of Oblivion being that it was a generic fantasy land in comparison with Morrowind's insanity.
    One big part of that was indeed the clothing, and how different say, Cheydinhal to Leyawiin looked NPC wise, or the transition from Imperial districts, to markets, to docks.

      Skyrim was legit worse in every way. Still not a bad game but for fans of oblivion and even more so fans of morrowind the game was just shallow. The lack of depth was incredibly disappointing. But alas that's how it goes with sequels most of the time. Most of the time sequels in any genre and medium of storytelling are made with much less detail so that they can appeal to more people. Unfortunately this ends up alienating the fan base who originally supported you but it won't matter if done right because you'll end up with a much bigger fan base of more casual people who don't care about deep lore and world building.

    This honestly is a really underrated part of the game and most RPGS period. It's always so weird but fun seeing your character in casual clothing dressed like a regular person after always seeing them wearing armor and carrying weapons, it's a small thing but still one of my favorites to do in any RPG. Near the end of my Oblivion playthrough I actually ditched armor altogether and started only using clothing/robes since it's lighter, there's no durability. As for me, my favorite clothing items are definitely the arch-mages robe, and the grey tunic and pants from shivering isles, more specifically the female versions, I really like the frilly sleeves on the tunic :)

    Honestly, I think I never gave enough appreciation to the basegame clothes of any TES game (except maybe daggerfall, I did a lot of shopping in that one!). Clothing mods are always the first ones on my list, so... I mean, I guess that's why I had to pay some attention to daggerfall clothes, I'm playing it unmodded so I have no other choice... but I do have to say that there is a nice variety

    As someone who has fallen out of love with the TES games a long time ago by now (I still love the setting to death), I always adored Oblivion for exactly this reason. Skyrim was a massive step down in almost every aspect to me and Morrowind never had the visual fidelity to really impress with it's cosmetics.
    Really glad to see a video on this topic, while I think it was a step down from the roleplaying and mechanical aspects of Morrowind, Oblivion did actually innovate and impress in a lot of ways that weren't just graphical improvements.

    I LOVE this video topic. You should make one looking at Morrowind's clothing too. I always feel like the fashion in video games reflects both the time period their based on (like medieval, victorian etc.) but also the year the game came out. Like Cyrodiil probably would have had medieval clothing regardless, but I think the LOTR films being so popular at the time made them lean into that look with all the nice velvet clothes. Skyrim has a darker vibe to it. It also came out in 2011 which was less vibrant than 2005 or 2002 in terms of fashion and other aesthetics. Morrowind's fashion kinda reminds me of the year it came out too but it's hard to articulate why. Maybe it just the colors and overall vibe remind me of the early 2000's.

  • @ItsJustBrew
    @ItsJustBrew 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    YES! Clothing in general is underrated in the Elder Scrolls series. They spend a great deal of time creating tier-lists of armor, their properties, and the degree of their strength... Whereas clothes are basically split into a couple different categories and given a few different varieties based on color. Out of all the games, I feel like Oblivion and Morrowind do the best, but you may also want to consider Daggerfall, which has some pretty obscure pieces of clothing!

    I was always a huge fan of the russet-felt outfit. It's such a nice looking dress but still feels casual compared to the rich people clothing.

I definitely tended to avoid the higher-class clothing, but the upper-class skirts worked best when in use for a battlemage aesthetic.
