    Oh great. So we must live to a standard of what you want, while you go around trying to demean what other people want. If someone doesn't want boob armour, we must shut up and accept that it is high fantasy and personal fantasies be damned.

    I was quite happy to accept 'Boob Armour' so long as there are alternatives. You seem completely unreasonable and not able to act rationally. I don't quite care about people you know. You seem the sort to name drop whenever you feel it gets you the upper hand. In truth, name drops get you into problems, not into heaven.

    You’re literally demeaning what I, and others who share my opinion, want. You started calling it Hollywood bullshit and saying it’s to appeal to males.
    You are a total hypocrite.

    There already are plenty of “alternatives” considering literally every armor/outfit so far has been of that medieval style. Need it to swing my way now.
    And since you conveniently don’t read entire posts, hopefully you read to this part because I’ll repeat myself: I want you to be able to look how you want, and I want to be able to look how I want. That can in no way be misconstrued as me saying “everyone shut up and accept bla bla bla”

    You’re a gas lighter and a hypocrite and are deflecting because you don’t have an actual argument. Trying instead to make personal assumptions with no actual basis. Literally out of time for someone as ridiculous as yourself. Good day.
  • There are medieval simulator games out there. There populations are low and they don't fare well overall, mostly because the number of people whose fantasies involve looking like a rounded tin can is small. But their out there if you want a hyper realistic game to play.

    Side note, you can't cast spells to heal massive wounds, or catch arrows in midair, or withstand dragonfire, or leap 15 feet in the air and throw fireballs. Just a thought.

    I understand and I read what you put. You said your wife and your friends to ratify your point. You aren't accepting the argument I have stated. You just reposted some Shadiversity bollocks with which to prove your point. I displayed the mobility of Plate Armour with respect to why you wouldn't have a tiny waist and big breasts on armour.

    If the armour is a boob armour it would typically have leather straps like the celts. No pressure on the hips and no wear and tear on the shoulders. Plate Armour has a Gambeson beneath it as I have stated before. In real life you would be asphyxiated if the plate bulge dipped in the middle.

    We aren't going to agree. I play female toons and I do make my female toons sexy. However, I prefer my battle armour to be functional battle armour. I often collect clothes and transmogs for my personal entertainment. At this point, I hope you achieve whatever you aim to achieve because you clearly need a release.

    Hiya friends - let's remember to be polite to each other here, and we can all discuss what we enjoy seeing in-game and looking at generally without going after each other directly <3

    So far I'm loving the huge variety of examples I'm seeing here, so thank you all for sharing! One thing is definitely clear, and it's that folks have a wide range of preferences for what they typically like to see :wink:

    How about "armor" that isn't armor? Like if you are in town not really leveling or questing, I feel like it would take away some immersion if you were constantly in full plate armor. Or in a tavern, people would likely take off the heaviest parts of their armor there. So potentially some under armor or casual armor. I don't know how this would look or examples tbh.

    You could always wear one of the costumes I suppose in town, etc.

    I could see strutting around town in this red jacket. The knee-socks have to go, though....

    The Celtic Concept I mentioned in an earlier post. Can be leather or metal, or a mixture of leather and metal.

    562e444436ca4aa42b00594abc4bf6a9.jpg

    Of course, Celts used to wear thick woollen cloaks across the shoulders and wrapped around the armour in most cases. Thick woollen cloaks protected from slingshot pellets and arrows. Though the proposition is for glamour styled armour. It is difficult to find the Celtic concepts (I can't scan and show History Books). I believe the concept above allows the concept to be seen without the thick woollen cloaks obscuring the concept.

    Edit: Spelling mistakes.

    I've been looking for various tokens and inspiration for my DnD campaign and I've been coming across a couple of trends where a person won't have the physical attributes of X thing but instead they'll wear a piece of clothing to make themselves more like X thing. And I've been living for it. Like for these the demon hoodie is a little too informal I think for this world, but imagine like...a mushroom cap that mimics the mushrooms we've seen on stream. I like the "blending into your environment" aesthetic where it's like a field researcher designed it specifically so they could get closer to their subject. Like when that one guy wore a goat costume to live with goats for a week to observe them closer.

    Asymmetry is the name of the game for me. It allows you to stand out in the crowd of perfectly symmetrical knights and give you your own identity. That said I am not saying I am completely against stock symmetrical armours and can look good.

    I always have been a fan of GW2 artwork when it comes to armour however I always felt like the game itself did not reach the bar their concept art set for them.

    gw2-charr-armor.jpg

    That's what I want to see, big beefy, plated armour goliaths that when fully geared will look cool as beans.

    Stealthy boi armour is important also. While not so elastic with colour choices It is possible to make that type of armour unique and cool depending on what our shadowy resident would like to focus on, light armour for faster/quieter movement or more reinforced leather (or hell maybe some actual steel plates) for combat.

    Would be nice to have some blindfolded headger or something that covers the eyes.

    And maybe some high lvl gear that have a very VERY faint glow in the dark.

    Capes/cloaks that are big/heavy that covers some of the neck chest like in the picture :P.

    Silcky/glitter cloth armor.

    You are not raising anything. You are changing anime aesthetic fantasy for dirty aesthetics fantasy. It's the same, just more dirty and patches of plate armor distributed in random places.

    Anime knows what is doing and is going for aesthetics, I personally appreciate that. They didn't try to fool anyone with being realistic.
