Wouldn't it be funny if he had just that tabard on him haha

>plate mail combined with skirts/dresses

the option of being helmetless always exists

shit. She clearly isn't wearing padding beneath that mail. Chain mail is garbage on it's own

Probably because they usually include lots of slice of life / in-town casual scenes and it would be odd looking for the character to be in full armor through all of them, and we all know how much game devs hate changing character models for anything because they want that "iconic" design

There are actually quite few, you're just being a faggot.

Every souls game, for example

Games where your character is customizable obviously don't count

>Chain mail is garbage on it's own
Maille + padding of some sort is the optimal choice, but it doesn't mean that maille is garbage on it's own.

I love getting chain mail, it makes me feel appreciated by my friends :) unless its the IRS

>who the fuck is the Chosen Undead

a you mean a realistic full armour designe in a japanese game
dark souls its the only game who did that

>the vast majority of modern games obviously don't count
Fuck off

full armor mcs just migrated to the more space marine style because theres more room to be unique and have it be able to tell more about the setting
>is the amour more set in reality or set not that far into the future where the amour is basically modern American infamy amour with some exo skeleton stuff (Halo, Call of Duty)
>is there some highly advanced amour but its only reserved for a special force while the grunts just get the normal stuff/ scraps (Halo)
>is the amour more fantasy and almost god like because it uses heavy religious imagery (40K, E.Y.E)
>is the amour not really made for combat and just for dangerous engineering work (Dead Space, Half Life)
its hard to create a steel amour design for it to not look like genetic European fantasy

I think For Honor has got pretty good armor, if a little silly

The secret service wears tuxedos.

BotW Link looks like a midget.

Thought it would count as enchanted armour

Who needs heavy armor when you're good with a shield?

For Honor had it right with the "low tier" armor design but they went full retarded with the higher end gear and the fire effects and shit.

Effects are completely optional, you know that right?

Anyone fighting multiple opponents, some with ranged weapons.
