...
Can I make a suit of armor that occupies the entire body?

You can make an armor that covers several body parts (i.e. robes, cloaks, greaves, etc.). However, even if shaped it will not prevent the equipping of armor in the other equipment "slots" on other body parts. Furthermore, not having items equipped on certain body parts will currently lead to bad thoughts and unhappiness regarding being naked. Also, some body parts can not be covered in this manner (hands/feet IIRC?) and require their own armor items.

hmm... that might present a problem.

As it stands, the idea is to allow for clothing to still be worn under the armor, so bad thoughts should not be an issue.

As for hands and feet, didn't the fallout mod do full body armor with the power armor?

Still can't cover hands, feet, or heads. Even if you set the UB and LB steps to max, it is not possible to protect those areas with body armour.

Though due to a bug it will cover fingers, toes, and facial features.

Well, I'll do what I can. At least I can eliminate the need for greaves and leggings.


Edit: Not much point actually, after reviewing the actual coverage that different armor provides.
 
Also, powerfingers would be awesome.
