Anything like this. Overly huge armor, bikini armor, etc.

I love souls, but it isn't realistic in the slightest.

I usually use the term "grounded" rather than realistic when I make these kinds of requests. It gives a better picture than realistic in my opinion.
>>46364943
You don't know what you're talking about.
Not OP but I think a lot about how our imagination, as a culture, has been cartoonized. When I was a kid I'd imagine everything I read or watched in a very realistic fashion. Everything felt gritty and mature because it was so in my head. Sinbad the Sailor gave me nightmares. Pokemon was this incredibly weird tale about kids capturing bizarre animals. As I grew up I've largely lost the ability to imagine fantastic stories in a realistic fashion which I think is a great shame.

That armor isn't overtly huge anon. Not to mention that pic related's armor is also perfectly reasonable. A creature of immense size and strength can wear more armor.
>>46364520
A look heavily inspired by historical clothes and armor that doesn't go overboard with detail and strives to make it look practical yet fashionable.
>realism
>>46364943
One handed Swords existed, sword and board was a legitimate fighting style, and some Knights used a shield while in full plate.
>>46364464
so it can be an abstract or stylised artstyle , but it has to depict a realistic situation?
or do you mean "naturalistic" which means a realistic artstyle?
>>46368732
also , if you believe what /tg/ says , plate armor only weighs 10 kg/ doesnt encumber you up to 80kg
>>46368900
>dark souls IIbut seriously , why did DS I/II such a bad job at big monsters? they were horribly weak in comparison to other foes , even weaker despite the size difference. fucking metal turtle killing half my stamina per block but a giant knight with a giant mace can be blocked 20 strikes straight
>>46364688
utterly unrealistic
>>46364943
>one massive pauldron
this was done IRL too , the arm that carries the shield was usually more protected because 1.you dont need as much flexibility as with a sword or other weapon and it helps with protection because you can concentrate on protecting the whole body without worrying to much about getting wrecked from the left while you are protection your right side.
of course , darksouls also stylizes its armors , so it would be exaggerated
>>46369581
because those were supposed to fuck up fast characters that relied on dodging (hence the bigger size for range of their attacks) while the smaller ones were supposed to fuck up the bulky players
>>46369680
yeah , but it is pretty dissapointing to see a huge fucking beast and you see it cant do shit against you. It just feels that the size is just played for effects , some real rethinking of tactics would be far more interresting game-play wise. with bigger enemies , blocking and relying on armor should be a quick death , so you have to avoid getting hit at all while you can rely on brute force against human-sized things.

It's hard to make a big monster a fair fight in the souls combat system.
Fuckhueg guys like Tower Knight get the short end of the stick because if you made them realistic then the player wouldn't be able to win at all.
Meanwhile small guys have the opposite problem, if you make them unrealistic they'd be too easy so you have to make them realistic, so they become the series icons.
Artorias, FKA, Alonne, etc.
The closest you can come is a middling sized beast like Manus or the Bloodborne bosses, small enough to benefit from small guy syndrome but big enough to benefit from big guy syndromefor you

plate weights 20-25kg if you talk about the one used for combat as jousting armors were heavier and could even weight 50kg
>>46364653
"I love you, shotgun."
>>46369561
It is a different feeling having weight distributed across your body vs. having it backpacked or in your arms.
I could strap a lot of workout weights to my arms and legs and still be fairly nimble (although tire sooner), but if I had a heavy backpack or heavy bag in my arms my balance would be different.
More antiquity (1)

So like with Vendrick?

>You don't know what sword he's wielding. It could be a shortsword.
>Shortsword and shield was done often.
>Not that uncommon.
>It's not ridiculous, and the shield-bearing arm was often heavier defended than the other, because that was the arm towards the enemy. The other arm needed more flexibility than defence.
Fucking heretic swathed in dark.

I have a limited number of yes/no dark souls 3 questions. Been too afraid to visit /vg/ because of spoilers. Yes/no only please.
1Is there dark magic available?
2Are either of the previous protagonists present?
3Do we find out anything about aldia/the monarch and what they did?
4Is Manus in the game?
5Are there secret areas/bosses?
6Is the ending/Are the endings good?

I have a particular request, I can't find anything online so you are my last resort, /tg/.
I'm looking for a man wearing a long cape with a venetian mask hiding his face. If it were with photos it wouldn't be so difficult, but I'm trying to find art of this.
>>46369724
>Nerf heavy armour even harder
Fuck you.

Thanks guys, just want to know what to expect without spoiling anything big. Didn't want to go in looking for manus and being dissapointed when I couldn't find him.

>nerfing armor
not necessary if you finally give some appropiate attacking power to those huge fuckers
>>46373477
>I could strap a LOT of workout weights to my arms and legs and still be fairly nimble (although tire sooner)
having weight on your limbs makes you as nimble as a mace compard to a sword of equal weight. well , at least it strongly reduces your movability after you used up enough stamina. Assuming your equipment adds around 30% of your own weight , that is quite tiresome
>>46376174
Well, that's the eternal conundrum, innit? Sacrifice protection for mobility and stamina, or do the opposite and risk getting Mountain'd.
>>46374804
I mean, I have a different interpretation of it and you might too, you'll have to play to find out.
>>46376256
in direct confrontation , yeah , plate armor wins.
hit-and-run tactics? sneak attacks? then you can afford more mobility
>>46369581
well, I am pretty sure the 3 pigletts in majula could wreck the big knights from Heide's tower
