    Okay, is it just me, or with some armour in skyrim, (whilst wearing the helmet/hood) make it seem as if your character has a huge head, and a rather tiny body? Maybe its the fact that i have a crap TV at the moment, but i doubt it. This is mostly the case with shrouded armour, i mean I can't wear the hood, it makes any male character look ridiculous D:, and with steel armour, the horned helmet, anyone with me?

    Glass armor was the worst for me but it was the opposite. When I wore it my head looked lost in there. I had this teeny tiny head barely poking out above my armor. It looked silly. Dragon bone armor also gave me that same look of pinhead. I wonder if it is just a female character that does this...

    The glass helmet is indeed terrible, and I've never had DB armour with a female, but it looks okay on males :P.

    I didn't see anything that made me stop and say "whoah, that's way off. His head is huge! I mean, look at that noggin!!!" nope, nothing like that. On the other hand I consistently think that way about babies. Babies creep me out, with their huge alien heads.

    Yeah it sort of works both ways, some armour looks better on males, some females. (accept for the beast races that look slightly idiotic in most helms xD)

    Well, playing a beast race usually gives you a head the size of a watermelon with most helmets, but most races usually look best in the armor that most suits their race in general.

    While playing as my wood elf yesterday, I thought 'woah, her head looks huge in glass armour! I best change stuff using the showracemenu command.' So i did, and it still looked huge. So i switched armour sets to nightinggale and it looked fine

    To both of you, Glass armor looks best on Dunmer, it just does that.
