Skin in the game

I’m sure I’ll get some prickly commenters from this but I need to voice this opinion.
These monthly cosmetics and previewed armor sets in game are all nice in some way. Many of them are truly fantastic. But I’m wondering...when are we going to get a set with....ANY skin showing? Like, I get it. Intrepid is making “an immersive” fantasy world. But that’s the thing. This is fantasy. There’s bound to be magical armor that can be more revealing while being protective. There is also the fact that some rogue/assassin/archer/mage/etc characters prefer to wear very light, sometimes revealing outfits even while on the job. It’s what is good looking or comfortable to them. I know I know, light doesn’t mean skimpy. I’m not saying it does. But when you go light, you now have the freedom to be skimpy without someone saying “herp derp bikini plate armor”.
Thus far we’ve been so darn prudent that we’ve only seen faces, a couple hands, maybe a forearm lol. I’m not asking for armors that look like bikinis, but damn you know it would be nice to show some skin in some armors. There’s dozens so far that all show no more than a face, maybe hands. And I think at this point we’re up to like 5 or 10 sets that literally show nothing because of a helmet. Let’s dip some variety into this pool of armors and get some less protective, more revealing stuff to wear.
Thank you for reading.

If I want to indulge my pervy side ("if" lol), then let me buy a costume from the store!
I agree with you, I would be down for semi-revealing but still “realistic” options in the base game and fan service costumes in the store! Lol
Woop! That will be me!
Previously we've shared that you'll be able to toggle your helmet display to your liking, so that you can take that element into your own hands!
You mean monokini for the male? Or that thing Borat wore?
dealer's choice.
Ah that’s right, being able to toggle the helmet does help with a few of these sets.
Amazingly, I either forgot about a couple of those examples or didn’t look closely enough at them (I’ve only ever seen very small images of cosmetics).
Thanks for pointing me toward the other thread for these ideas!
