What is your ideal female armor in video games?

Boob plate with big poofy skirt.

There's no good reason you can't write all 3 into a setting

Left except with exposed midriff.

Middle but with a particular figure

Ornate dress armor with lots of lace and frills.

I like when boob plate isn't actually molded like boobs. It's just potruding outward more and actually gives the armor a more bulky, armored, yet feminine look. I don't have any pics saved as an example. But you see it alot in Japanese female mecha design. iirc Monster Hunter has some female armor sets with the same design.

all of the above
simple as

someone explain this. if metallic armor hinders spellcasting, doesn't that mean someone in metal armor is immune to spells. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of spellcasters?

A dress. And women staying in the house doing chores as they should.

None. Women being weaker than men and obviously not participating in any combat scenarios is a FUNDAMENTAL piece of worldbuilding upon which rests everything including realistic gender dynamics, day-to-day life, the narrative, EVERYTHING.

These together.

I've seen it explained in games before as metal conducts magic like lightning, so if you were wearing armor when trying to cast, you might end up zapping yourself.

ok phew. I can finally enjoy skimpy armor again. Thanks

Armor please. If you have some other protective bs like barriers, then go crazy

left for regular women
middle for female paladins/battle nuns
right for muscular barbarians/berserkers
bonus: frilly dress armor for royalty

Everything has its place. Like I wouldn't expect to see right in Dark Souls but it can work in some games

Don't trust men who claim to be into women in armor. I think they're a bit queer. It's like saying "I like women who dress like men" and that would rightly be called out as gay.

I like bikini armor and I'm tired of pretending.

I've reasoned it by either making it harder to absorb energy or too tiring to make gestures in.

Sorry mate, only set of armor wet got left is the ol' Sad Lad Special

that just sounds lame

2025

Conan Exiles is still the only high production values game with pulpy sword & sorcery aesthetics

Pain.

Blacksmith! I require a helm that will grant me protection from even the plumpest of maidens sitting on my face!

Modern western warrior woman

Devs claim she wears historically accurate armor except it isn't accurate at all, it just looks like male fantasy armor

She weights 114 lbs but can single-handedly defeat a room full of 300-lb men with her bare hands. Also she somehow incapacitates them all instead of killing them

Witty retordt

Lady Eboshi and the girls

They have a fort and guns, fuck you

tfw no maidens give you their favour at a joust

Also a lot of western fiction:

enemy soldiers are evil

but also they would never ever even consider raping female warriors or sexually exploiting them otherwise because nobody could ever be evil to the point of sexism or misogyny

none. women shouldn't be in armor. take your joan of arc shit out.

?

rape rape rape

You're fat.

I think Sword and Sorcery is one of the only genres left that is only of interest to nerds and repels mainstream audiences, so any chances of a big game being produced by a major studio is slim.

This would be a good example, minus the boob shaped plate.

I think the bare minimum would be a fully covered chest and torso. There should be some padding between the metal and the skin.

Now if the character is part of an army, there had better be a good reason why the female armor looks different than the male armor.

Armor should not be scantily clad, for that, just don't use armor.

Ravness my beloved.

Game of Thrones?

le cuck helmet

I think the bare minimum would be a fully covered chest and torso.

Boo. No midriff no buy.

Flamberge is my waifu

No armor.
Females do not belong on the battlefield or in adventuring parties.
But if you HAVE to be a female adventurer, at least become a mage. Female warriors and barbarians are just plain stupid and would die to the first large rat or goblin warrior.

A magical girl with some metal

this guy gets it

Honestly Souls games have always to me been the standard for armor that is fantastical but (mostly) not so much so that it looks impractical or non-functional. Yea I know the games have armor that is outright whacky as fuck bullshit too but I think the average gamer will know whovh examples I mean.

Middle middle middle

women don't belong in games where armor is worn, or any games really except if they are preparing my character's bath

Depends on the setting. If its made to look like a gritty, realistic dark fantasy then Armor for both men and women. If its billed as a high fantasy with ornately made armor and full of sexy people and magic then feminine. Gimme all the titties I can stand.

Point taken, especially considering that pretty much every attempt to re-introduce Conan into mainstream after the 1982 movie has always failed.

Women should not be in combat period, there is no 'realistic female armor', so if your game has fighting women, they should be cute and wearing cute frilly armor, and the reason should be that they're Clerics who get divine power from their wacky god who empowers them or something like that. Think about it, Cleric gods can make any restriction they want. Cute girls only, no pants allowed? Sure, makes more sense than 'realistic female armor' where some 115lb woman is wearing full plate and killing 250lb men lmao

right

My life for yours

Realistic as in the wearer would be realistically protected given the materials available for the time period. You fucking sperg, we're not talking about historical accuracy of women in combat. Is english not your first language?

For me it's character specific, different types of armour for paladins, knights, barbarians etc etc

I don't care as long as they're barefoot tbdesu

I don't like rape in fiction for the same reason I don't like it if the characters curse every other word. Might be "realistic" and "gritty" but it's tacky as fuck in practice

Extremely ornate armor that would be impractical in any real-world scenario but is thematically relevant and symbolic of something character-specific

The armor is the character, completely unrecognizable without it

Peak

Armor is by design and virtue meant for men. But if you want to create a fantasy world where women are fighters (lol) then you better make armor that looks feminine, cuz otherwise that shit is gay as hell.

spear and sword is a really interesting combo that you rarely see in games

I prefer the most left or the middle one, the one on the left looks like some gooner shit than actual armour. She has her stomach exposed which leaves he vital organ open for attack, she has important ligaments in the arms, she has her collarbone exposed, this isn't even armour.

Women will not be realistically protected by the middle or left armor in the OP. That woman will walk around encumbered a bit and get smashed by the first male she encounters. There is no point arguing about relative realism, if you have female fighters taking out burly men left and right your setting is 'magical girl' and so their 'armor' should be cute and frilly

the same as the males? Women wearing less armor than their male counterpars always looked dumb as fuck.

Middle, always for the love of God middle. Left is too generic and right is tasteless.

Again you don't seem to understand the concept of realistic armor vs realistic combat. We're not talking about actual combat since this is a board about video games which are not reality.

Picrelated is what all female armor should look like. Denying this led to the body types 1 and 2 we have today. If you disagree, then you're on the same side as trannies, fags, and feminists. FACT

Artist: Boris Vallejo

For me it's realistic armor with an out of place feminine detail such as stilettos or a pussy window

I find the rightmost's weapon more offending than her armor.

I love women bros..

Bikini armor is for people who don't actually like armor.

Axegirl my beloved...

What do you got against the clap smacker?

What i never really understood is that even if more people are playing games or involved in more nerd fantasy stuff I'd still say its like 80% dudes. So where did this hate for sexifying anything come from?

Bikini armor is for people with taste.

Souls games have the spirit of sword and sorcery (and the skimpy armor too) and they're the most popular genre of the late 2010s-early 2020s

Souls games have the spirit of sword and sorcery

Do they? I doubt that.
Post some examples.

For Honor characters look so fucking cool, I wish the game was still playable but nowadays the only people who play it have 5000 hours in it and it's impossible to learn the game

Female soldiers are absurd so why not go all the way in absurdity

Feminist on social media and their numale lackeys.

Bikini armor is for people who don't actually like armor

Two issues. First, women aren't people. Therefore they don't need armor. Second, I like armor on people.

Okay, but you've gotta admit that what you posted is considerably more creative and interesting than the generic fantasy schlock of

HIlde from Soul Calibur uses that combo

Nah, it's an unholy middle ground between bikinis and armour without the sex appeal of former or the cool factor of the later it also creates dissonance because armor is meant to be protective but the bikini element comes with inherent vunerability that its greatly appealing on an actual bikini but confusing when its meant to be armor hence why I state that bikini armour is only for people who don't actually like armour.

Based

Cringe

Socially acceptable target to bitch about.

all character archetypes are present and playable, from the dark mage to the barbarian

killing traditional fantasy monsters and dragons

exploring the ruins of fallen cities

wearing silly armor

becoming stronger after each adventure as you find ancient relics

it's like hecking creative

It's just a standard samurai-concept with exposed flesh in a typical bikini/feminine-fashion.
Both are fine, but your weeb is showing.

Depends on the setting, but I do prefer all-covering but feminine looking armor.

Agreed

Damn, whoever did this is a great artist.

Kill yourself, nigger

without the sex appeal of former or the cool factor of the later

Weird way of saying you're gay, but alright.

Bikini armor, except with fully armored arms and legs, and a face-obscuring helm.

Absolutely fucking not, I don't know how you can look at both of those images and conclude they're of equal design merit. I'm not even saying the samurai one is creative on its own, but it is in a relative way.

All these fantasy armors makes us neglect the need for sexy female armor in sci-fi.

I accept your concession.

no codpiece

None.

NOOOOO IT HAS TO LOOK LIKE MALE ARMOUR

why not just go all the way and remove female knights?

Middle, nothing against a NOT SILLY boob armor

That's the endgame of these people. It goes
no women in games (incel) -> ultra sexualised women (nerd) -> clothed women but still attractive (normie) -> fully clothed women but ugly (woke) -> no women (male feminist, that is, failed incel).

>NOOOOO IT HAS TO LOOK LIKE MALE ARMOUR

Who said that?

peak

You know what the amount of difference is in fantasticalness between a realistically armored woman, and a woman in skimpy bikini armor? Barely anything. Because a woman warrior is already pure fantasy.

dude a woman can't wear armor

lol are you going to fucking cry?

Aligned with sliding scale of whether or not the setting belongs on an 80s metal album cover.
The rights "owners" are very litigious about this shit. Even in situations where "their" work is public domain, they'll just go at it with trademark law instead or sue based on the retarded law of some other country.
Just goes to show that IP law is a fucking obsolete mistake being pushed by globohomo lawyers.
Because a lot of historical armor is fairly androgynous or feminine already, you just need to stylize.

none women shouldn't be fighting

Either left or right, middle is retarded

typical chink slop

just slap belts on everything

do you know what our skirt needs?

belts

shoes?

belts

This is common talking point among woketards.

Why are you bringing politics into this? Either talk about female armor designs in games or fuck off.

Because that's what OP image implies.

"armor" = male armor

Armored dresses

But there is not armor at all on the pic you've posted.

No it fucking doesn't. Take your meds you fucking nigger. Go talk about politics on

Or else what? You'll cry?

This is subaru tier cope to justify being stylistically lazy when it comes to armour

LOL you're brown.

All the way on the right or all the way on the left but the helmet stays on and the visor is put down so I can't see the girl's face even if she's a 10/10.
