The eternal debate

Well, Sup Forums?

Depends on setting and tone of the direction.

functional armor > stripper attire
every time

fpbp
spwp

consider the following, armor is for pussies.

Fuck off, literally everyone should wear stripper armor.

If i cant slay someone with my codpiece, then the game isnt worth playing.

Gorden Freeman should have just worn a banana hammock with a lambda on the crotch.

Loli fashion > *Armor

Yeah, going in wearing armor means you're planning to get hit.

>every time
No.
Both can be great.

Should start off with fully 'functional' armour but as they take more damage it falls off piece by piece.

What kind of bitch principles do they have that would lead to killing her?

What if... loli bikini armor?

being aware of one's limits or having a healthy respect for the unexpected are no faults, user

If you want to do some funky shit, yeah, then stripper attire might look cool. But you want to try something "dark" and "realistic", tight secretary dress with high-heels as "heavy armor" will discredit your effort.

I like girl armor that's stylish as fuck. Be it revealing or not.

Some salty SJW who hates fantasy armor.

...

Why not both?
I can like Fantastical overly designed shit just as much as I like Realistic Functional Armor.
The bigger issue is designing something appealing and not some disgusting WoW tier abomination.


Sometimes a mixture of both is also good.

This.
Honestly though, it's a concept that goes way back to at least the ancient Greeks, if not earlier.
If the hero is naked, it shows what a total badass they are. They don't need armour, or even weapons half the time, they just need themselves.

High heels are still retarded though.

women shouldn't wear armour
women shouldn't carry weapons
women shouldn't fight

randoseru of holding >bag of holding

whatever they do, it should be aesthetically consistent, if it's a world of realistic fullplate, armor bikinis should never show up, if it's fucking conan, it's standard attire for everyone, including men.

GAMES WHERE I CAN PLAY AS A BIMBO STRIPPER BARBARIAN WITH BIG TITTY BUT ISN'T SKYRIM OR OBLIVION

delet this

what r you a faggot

If it's fantasy, it can have fantasy armor and fantasy boobplate in whatever way the creator of the fantasy game wants his fantasy armor to look like

if it's reality, you won't find women on the battlefield in the first place.

Women in combat armor is less realistic than fantasy women's armor. So if you're arguing for "realism" you're retarded by default.

I don't mind when armor shows a bit of skin even if it doesn't make sense. It only bothers me when we're talking about literal bikini armor or something like that. It has nothing to do with realism, historical accuracy or whatever, I just can't take a character seriously when he or she's half-naked. It's ok if people like that though.

What are some non-porn games that feature bikini armor?

Persona 3

Yeah, in real life.

...

...

...

Any setting that calls for non-functional armour is utter garbage.

Next.

...

...

>muh arrows
An arrow would kill someone wearing "functional" armor just as good as someone wearing those outfits

...

BEST GIRL, BEST ARMOR

Why does it have to be either bikini armor or tin can armor?

Why do so little games do the mix of both?

if that was true nobody would have wore armour because it's clearly pointless encumbrance that doesn't protect you.

If you want a realistic game with plate armor, women won't be fighting anyway.

It matters if you are fighting weakling elves with tiny bows for children.

>Not having skin that is your armor
Warmblood shitters

...

>muh video games need to be completely realistic
People who say this shit are literal homosexuals

it does protect you from most things, but its not like a breastplate was invulnerable from being pierced by an arrow.

Saskia has only taken off her breast plate for the negotiations.

I'm fine with either. High heels is the only thing that triggers me. Unlike bikini armor this shit makes no sense even with magic. But I also don't really like high heels irl so maybe that's why.

this guy gets it

It would be more satisfying undressing & raping a fully armored woman than a scantily dressed woman, just sayin'.

die sjw

Precisely that: Bitch Principles.

Words fail to express how fucking stupid you are.

>ywn be slain in honorable single combat by a qt knight

Sorry mate I can't hear you over the sound of you eating five dicks at once

>raping
>not being raped by full armored woman
Are you gay?

>ywn have a bride in wedding armor

I know deep down it's retarded but MAN I can't get enough of ridiculous frilly armor.

Dragon's Dogma.

No armour just makes it more humiliating for them!

How would barbarians know what a tin can is?

...

what If its a magical stripper attire?

Remember, violence is never the answer, unless it's used to justify your specific opinions and ideals especially because the left is always right. People are hypocrites and there's nothing you can do to stop them.

>Not wanting to strut around showing off the goods

>the virgin plate mail and the chad cod piece

You're going to bait every /k/ poster browsing this thread friendo, plate was astonishingly difficult to penetrate, arrows were known to be stopped by densely weaved mail, let alone straight up plate.

Lets look at a famous example of plated knights being fucked by arrows, agincourt! barely any of the french knights were actually killed by arrows, their horses on the other hand had only helmets if any armour at all, how that shit went down is all the horses got pincushioned in a marsh and then french knights (who weren't trained to fight on foot like english knights were) found themselves being stabbed in the face by "cheeky fellows with long knives."

and you seem to be expressing the belief that a sheet of steel offers zero protection.

>doesn't know what a bodkin point is
>implying women could wear full plate armor with under carriage leather padding into battle

The average woman in any time period couldn't wear full plate into battle and be functional. Add in the additional weight of the leather, plus weapons and you've made a shit show target that's just going to get knocked down and have a spear thrust into their neck.
Bodkin points could easily have broken through chain mail and can break through full plate if it doesn't have additional padding.
Unless you're playing a female orc/half giant your character is fucked as a female when it comes to armor.

Most persons didn't bother with full armor at all as the odds of death with it were just as high as not wearing it all. The benefit of not wearing it at least added mobility benefits.

Armor must be as huge as possible for maximum protection and surface to add engravings and purity seals on.

What about a practical dress armor thing?

...

No armour.

I can kill easily, but I can die easily.

Death to savages.

>no snake tits

So they don't want anyone to buy the game?

...

I always find this picture to be really sexy. I want to see more pics like this. Like what would a real girl look like with arrows in her? I bet it would be really sexy.

asking for a friend haha

I prefer functional but I'm fine with stripper armor also.

99% of "functional armor" would be completely shit irl. If you're gonna get it wrong you might as well go the whole hog.

>no breasts on reptile
>progressive

Certain bows could pierce plate at fairly close range. Getting through plate, mail, and a gambison would be pretty unusual even at fairly close range for almost any bow.

Armor was fairly effective at protecting people from arrows. Not perfectly so, but to a significant degree.

Whoever did that second image missed the totally obvious sorceress motif of the gril on the left.

Yes, a bodkin point turns an arrow into an armor piercing weapon of mass destruction, capable of punching through a steel plate, dense rivetted mail, a dozen layers of linen, a mans ribcage, and straight out the back.

for fucks sake this is information you can find on wikipedia, you haven't even done research your college professor would tell you to fuck off and find a source on.

In the fourteenth century people considered bodkin points to be ineffective against plate, that shit was designed to punch through mail, which can cheerily stop other kinds of points, the downside to bodkins is they're just basically a square section spike which is hard pressed to cause an immediately lethal wound even if it nails the guy.

I thought Hilda was pretty cute in Soulcalibur but people in armor, you're mainly admiring the armor rather than the person in the armor.

>women complaining about titty armour
>want it more "realistic"
>remove all female armour and their ability to wear it, as no female would ever be trained as a knight of any kind
>get called sexist
WEW LAD

Didn't knew snakes were mamals.

Arrows, bolts and spears penetrate plate mail like a motherfucker. It's meant to deflect. Leather and chain mail catches piercing shit. The guy was saying "Hurr plate mail can stop everything", which it cant.

Armor is sexier than people so there's no problem there

...

Good choice.

or you know, they just wear the same armour as men, as they did on the few occasions women actually did go fight in history.

You're mixing up history with star wars you twat.

henreader lolis are always so happy and cute

Lewd, but practical?

No point in fighting because neither of them can stop a fucking bullet

check mate nerds

Fate decides a warriors Death, so what is armor for?

bikini armor all the way.

>people in star wars wore chain mail and had bows
You could have at least said DnD or something, shit heel.

Sword and spearbanner is the single coolest combination.
I'm also a fan of her kissable lips and cute hairstyle.
