When I see pirated looks in other media and I try to replicate it in SOT I just can't do it for lack of more "realistic" clothes... most of the clothes are too fancy, nothing a pirate would actually wear and the closest thing to it are the costumes of the Jack Sparrow crew.
Please develop new clothing models, if possible that have belts and holsters and more tricorn hat options.
Having Blackbeard's Pirates of the Caribbean outfit would be awesome.
@gallerine5582 Most of the clothes are very exaggerated, too fancy, too fanciful, or too damaged.
For example, Bilge Rats set, Parrot set, Kraken, most of Sea Dogs among others... they are all too exaggerated, a caricature of pirates, and not that this is a bad thing but they could add more "traditional" clothes.
In my opinion the best costume in this sense is the Hardy Longcoat and the tricorne.
@themadlad94 At first they strayed a lot from historical facts or more accurate connections to the real world, but it seems that this is changing, as they cited the Spanish navy...
I would love to see what you mentioned and also these details present in the plot, to hear the pirate lord say that he sailed with Henry Avery or that he witnessed the fall of Nassau and therefore "created" his own pirate paradise on the Sea of Thieves.
as a woman who enjoys playing this game every day, it's impossible to look good/pretty as a female pirate. there are countless women pirates in history that wore time appropriate dresses, etc. who were tough enough to break the pirate code. we're either stuck looking ugly, or as masculine as possible. i'm tired of looking goofy...
there are no purchasable items either to make me look more presentable either, because the limited amount of clothing is catered to male players. i'm somewhat new, with experience from the game's release, coming back to SoT with my only gripe being looks.
no character customisation either -- i've seen beautiful men but you have to scroll for hours for a woman that isn't overweight, top heavy, bottom heavy, or elderly.
tldr; i'm all for more realistic clothes coming to the game. era appropriate dresses, corsets, etc. women need more recognition in this game!
I completely agree with this I'm not too big on flashy cosmetics the game offers for pirates I've always said there needs to be a big cosmetic update where they revamp the clothing store to offer more piratey options and while we're at it I want some realistic weapon and equipment types, as far as colors go we need more blacks whites blues and brown and golds

I smell relativity.
All that being said, more clothes are always good. I prefer the realistic ones personally, even though I usually use curses. More realistic pirate clothes = more customization options.
For a pirate game, there's a definite lack of piratey clothing being added! All we can do is hope that they one day decide of listen to player feedback in this regard; the content that updates add is always amazing, but the cosmetics never fail to disappoint x_x
@mr-whaletoes said in Blackbeard's outfit(potc) and more realistic clothes:
If someone can get a beautiful man out of the generator, why not play dress-up on the male template? The apparent gender of the character is not a definitive, it is a suggestion.
The sexes are extremely dimorphic in this game, so that would not work haha
@madfrito99 Now hold up, I never said anything about "just leaving women out". I was offering a potential solution to the issue. Apparently it wasn't a good solution, so my bad.
@NEON-iC0N Actually, the pirate I'm using is technically female but I'm perfectly capable of making them look masculine.
...That being said, a beard helps. I admittedly could be incorrect as to how well it works the other way around, seeing as I've never really tried it.
