From the videos of Skyrim AI mods I’ve seen, I don’t think it’s that far off. At least for your basic, run-of-the-mill NPCs. They’re already able to know if you take off all your clothes and will ask you stuff like “hey we don’t allow that in here” or “you must be cold”.

We can’t be that far off from a truly immersive RPG game

Don't vanilla skyrim NPCs detect when you've taken your clothes off? I remember Morrowind NPCs shunning you if you were diseased.

I think TES NPCs have been reacting to clothing since Daggerfall. Back then it was just a disposition modifier based on the total value of what you were wearing, but still.
