Slof's Goth Shop 1 Hand of Goth

A new shop has opened in Chorrol that caters for the male population of Cyrodiil. Called the 'Hand of Goth', the shop looks just like any other in Chorrol until you step inside...

Banners made from human skin and threatening signs on the wall grace the interior, as well as evidence that the shop's owner does indeed eat children!

My ideas for male clothing didn't dry up after Morrowind, so some of them are going to go into this one. I play male characters, therefore, they need some nice clothing and armour! Although I've called it 'Goth Shop', not everything in it is gothy. I've tried to include as much variety as possible.

I like to play male characters for the simple and very basic reason that I am female and I love male eye-candy. After seeing so many female clothing and body mods already coming out, many of an outstanding standard, I felt the time was right for me to start on the goth shops again. Just as many of the female mods glorify the female form, so mine glorify the male. Yes, some of it is skimpy, much of it is impractical, lots of it is draughty in the groin department, but what's more, I really don't care! Oblivion is a classic fantasy game, and as such I like my men dressed like a Boris Vallejo painting. Or undressed, depending on how you look at it! I don't care if it doesn't follow lore, or that this stuff would hardly protect his body; at the end of the day, it's still fantasy. I make what I want in the game; it's free and no-one is forced to download it. I share it because I like sharing my stuff; that's just the way I am. It's very simple. Don't like it, don't use it. Any complaints, send them on a postcard to anyone but me!

Xivilai collars come in two types - tail slot (collar) and amulet slot (amulet). Recommended that beast races use the amulet versions if they wish to keep their tails! I did them this way to offer the greatest choice to the player. They are set as light armour of a good quality. Everything is male only; this stuff is designed specifically for males so there is no support for females. I have no plans to do so - there are 100's and 100's of mods for female stuff. Some accessories may work on them, however.

Boris' behaviour can be a bit erratic, and no matter what I do, his AI still plays up. If the shop appears locked during the day, the first time it's visited, open the console (~ key), click on the door and type 'unlock'. This will allow entry to the shop. If Boris isn't about, go through into his private quarters and he should follow you back out. I've only needed to do this once per new character. He behaves normally after that. I put this down to him being a Dremora and not very clued up in the ways of mortals!

There is a feature that gives a new take on trying stuff on before buying - a caged mortal slave has been installed the shop. Every so often Boris will go up and prod him to make him squeal, but this isn't his main reaso
