The best armor design in a game IMO

I just wanted to mention, that imo For Honor is a great example for great armor/weapon design and individuality.
Also the armors actually feel heavy and move a lot during fights in addition to their amazing sound feedback/design.
If ashes had similar armor design quality it would be a huge progress.
In for honor its just awesome colouring/chosing from different arts and materials to make the look perfectly individual and satisfying.
Also having so many different pieces to chose from that you progressively unlock.
Kind of like a second character creator, but you actually see the difference, because the body is mostly fully covered by armor.

This looks like a Centurion armor ) But I like it.
The way it interacts with the world I thought was really gorgeous, coming from WoW I absolutely HATE their method of literally adding 2D armor on top of the character skin model if it makes sense.
3D armor that actually interacts with the world (and robes that don't literally delete 90% of your character) is where it's at.
Armor of doom was brown or goldish, you're thinking of the blue wolf set.
That looks a LOT like the Armor that " Mister Mayor " wore in his last Video inside a City/Village Node.
Kinda the bit more "swanky"(lol) kind of Armor, that shows that a Person is of higher Rank than for Example all those City Guards who look probably a lot more plain with their Armor, than the Person wearing something like this. Especially with the crested Helmet.
The best Armor possible i imagine as something like a mix between Chainmail and Plate. Plate of Course for the "straight" Surfaces of the Body - and Chainmail covering Places like the inside of the Knee's, Armpits, maybe Elbows and upper Arm ... ... ... Thighs/upper Legs ... ...
With JUST enough Room and "Freedom" that Person can move more or less unhindered.
Goodlooking Armor ? Would be nice, but i think Efficiency is always Priority Number One.
Kind of like Cataphract Armour.
No mate.
I always enjoy games that let you pick the material of the armor to give it an even more customized feel. But I unfortunately don't see that happening here
You're wrong, just look it up.
edit:
Added better pictures 2 posts down, these were not good.
Either way, they both look like shit.
Nostalgia is well known for causing selective blindness.
That has to be the worst armour display possible. What's with the gravitational squeezes?
I just quickly googled to show him he got the colors backwards. But sure I'll add better pictures
Human Male Heavy Doom Armor
Human Male Heavy Blue Wolf Armor
This is from a game that came out in 2003. No game had textures and models of this quality, this is like 10 years ahead of it's time.
Still think so?
Surely you remember how it looked on D elves.
It's not a brown armor, nor am I confused with BW, otherwise my avatar would be with BW.
Yes.
The brown one just looks bad, and the blue ones pauldrons are comically oversized, which is a stylistic choice I absolutely hate.
There is something wrong with both chest pieces that makes it look as if it is a suit of armor with a disembodied head sitting on top.
Edit to add; the blue one look ok from around the nipple line down.
The armor still isn't navy blue as you claim it is "The best armor design is from L2, the heavy plate navy blue Armor of Doom". Yes it has some fabric under it that's navy blue but the actual armor itself has no navy blue parts. 80% of the armor has the brown/gold brown tone. It's like calling the blue wolf set black cause of the chainmail under it, I can't help but laugh at that comparison.
Either way you do you, agree to disagree.
Agree to disagree
Didn't overlook your avatar, just assumed you were one of the people who thought the vast majority of an armor is what constitutes it, not the minority of it.
