A little something for the ladies....

I do love the implication that something like, for example, a corset is oversexualising, when it is essentially a belt, with breast support.
Given its original purpose and not the reasons people seem to think it was worn; it was literally just a way to alter a person's figure so as to look more flattering in a dress. Like a belt is pretty frequently used to tighten up a man's gut to make him appear vaguely more flattering.

(Granted, it's not the original purpose of a belt, but I think it speaks to the void we have between items of clothing for males and those for females. E.G. A woman in a corset is sexual, but a completely shirtless man is just fine.)

Thank you. I couldn't agree more.

I agree. They do however have many of the dresses that look much better than the jackets, but i still agree they need more hairstyles. They will be adding hair color changes too so that will be good.

It really bugs me that he doesnt want it because the only option in his mind would be the scantily clad bikini. And for real does he really think a corset is just a lewd piece of clothing. All thats being asked for is hair and make up, jewelry, and some better looking dresses.

I've thought of this too! Female need alot more cosmetic options. Hairstyles, make-up, actually dresses you want to wear, earrings, etc etc... Just more feminine cosmetic options in short. And these can be applied to the male characters too of course!

While I think you ladies are on to something, I also think that RARE are keeping it with the 18th Century Pirate. For example, out of the most notorious female pirates: Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and Grace O'Malley they dressed like men. They wanted to be seen as equals and not as sex symbols. Even Grace shaved her head and cut her hair short. Many times female pirates were orphaned or runaway women who were looking to fit in...not stand out.

With that said, this game needs many more cosmetics and customizability, not just for the ladies. Tattoos were a good start, but how about 50 different jacket types, 100 different belts, 1000 shoes, etc. not just for the lady, but for all pirates.

My character is always in "male" clothes, i.e. pants, shirt and jacket. That doesn't mean I don't want more feminine choices, and not necessarily dresses. Like I said, where are the ruffled shirts? Skirts would be awesome for mixing/matching. Corsets seem conspicuously missing, although I noticed a couple dresses appear to have them built-in. Then there are hair styles, jewelry, makeup, etc. None of these need be "women-only" at all. But the girls definitely need some love here. Even the initial choice of avatars is pretty sad. I had to "settle" on one after spending almost two hours in the character generator. All the more reason I would love to be able to make some changes.

I don't really like that idea of makeup, we are dirty pirates after all...

But female hair styles would be great.

Jewelry is coming. I believe there's a slot in the vanity selection screen already in game. I think they should probably do makeup too for the ladies (or the men) the same way facial hair is handled. Hell lots of folks in the 18th century wore makeup, men and women. And it also makes me think of Robert Deniro's Sky Pirate character in Stardust.

And I want to be able to equip that cool "corpse paint" that the OoS ladies have on.

BLACK METAL.

Absolutely! Options for women are seriously lacking, hair especially but clothing, too. Maybe Rare needs to hire a fashion consultant for 18th century pirate women! 😊

Not to mention the lack of female beards!

@genuine-heather Truth be told, I've been wearing that dress on my pirate (male character) as it looked better than the jacket to me. Kind of reminds me of the Child of Atom from Fallout, due to the tattered look.

What's a female beard look like, exactly?

Because equality is good?

As more and more cosmetic options are introduced into the game, I am surprised at the lack of longer hairstyles and cosmetics geared towards the ladies playing. I would love to see options more tailored too my fellow female pirates. Examples would be pony tails or beach curls (see what I did there). Maybe even some sort of make-up, much in the same way the men have facial hair choices. And, just as I've seen many a female rocking a killer beard, the male populace would also have the choice to don some killer lipstick.

This is a good idea and something I have wondered why hasn't been included after all the impracticality of corsets is not going to be an issue in this game. Make-up would be cool because it could be branched of into face paints that could cater for both genders while still having the more feminine options such as lipstick and mascara which Johnny Depp wore the latter in Pirates of the Caribbean. I also think the addition of jewellery to would be welcomed because it caters again for both genders and it would be great to have a skull ring that has glowing green eyes.
