The game world still has to be consistent. Armour is worn for protection. It has to cover you to protect you. It works by keeping a durable material between you and the weapon. Huge gaps in the armour does not protect you.

This makes the armour design inconsistent. If it's worthwhile to wear heavy plate armour on your arms and legs why aren't you wearing it on the more vulnerable torso? Is the person's internal organs in their arms and legs? They apparently need armour to protect their arms but not their guts?

Inconsistent.

Just admit that it makes no sense and the artwork is just tittyfap garbage for wanking to.

HP in video games doesn't make any sense even with armour, and you rarely actually see where your character has been damaged or hit, so what does it fuckin matter.

I hate to break it to you, but video games are not reality, and don't HAVE to follow any set of rules, not even ones laid out by someone as great and creative and insightful as yourself. The truth is they can be whatever the fuck the creator wants them to be, and you have to deal with it, ya faggot.
Besides, I'm sure would have some troubles working up the gull to murder a scantily clad battle priestess. It could cause me to miss with an attack or two.

There is no such thing as a "practical" female melee warrior. The entire concept of a woman fighting medieval battles in armor is fictitious and ridiculous. The reason they have "sexy armor" is because the notion of women going into battle stems from mythology and so they are portrayed in the same vain as valkyries and goddesses. This is literally the only context in which women warriors makes sense.

Nothing discussed here matters. The subject doesn't matter. I could give zero fucks how realistic armour in a game is or is not.

What does annoy me is seeing somebody draft an argument, cite multiple points; fail to understand every last one and then present it with a fancy little ribbon tied around it as though they had accomplished something.

>>342281691
Armouring the thighs slows you down substantially and inhibits movement more than other bodyparts. In a fighting posture your hips and thus your thighs are thrown back more than your shins or your torso. Finally, you have a massive shield covering the area.

That has nothing to do with knights. Sometimes women would help defend besieged towns if the town was desperately trying to hold off the enemy. The women were not knights, they wouldn't have knightly armour, they wouldn't have armour designed for them, fitted for them and they wouldn't fight as a professional soldier.

It takes quite a bit to break somebody's arm unless they hold it out and ask you to break it.

>>342284376
Not entirely. Cuirassiers persisted far into the era of gunpowder, and plate armour design blossomed significantly after crossbows and longbows entered common warfare.

Armour exists and is commonly used as we are speaking right now.

>The consistency is that there are people in the game world that can survive without armor. Gameplay dictates it.

Bikini armour is one of those things people complain about but almost never happens
>>
>>342284764
Different strokes, man. What's really happening here is a lot of "pressure" and "venting pressure." What I mean by that is these people see bikini armor, which is blatantly unfeasible, and it starts up a "pressure" which is a desire for more practical (or more exactly, more "covering") armors. When things finally come to a head in threads like this, the pressure for more covering armor has grown so great that they cling to anything that meets the criteria, even when its cover has gone beyond the realm of reason and back into unfeasible territory. It's a venting of pressure, an explosion, and it isn't logical. When forced to stop and think, any of those people would notice and agree with that point, but this is really just a melting point of emotions and desires, not a logical argument.

I'm familiar with military history. The fact that sometimes burgher/townswomen would cut their skirts short so they could run up to the walls carrying stones to drop down on the enemy, throw tiles from rooftops at enemies in the streets or wail on enemies climbing up scaling ladders with improvised weapons doesn't support the idea of female warriors.

I totally agree. Those armor smiths sure were dum for putting all those weak points and straps in easy to reach places facing the opponent instead of hidden spots that are extremely difficult to reach in the pitch of battle. Those knights sure were stupid too for standing around and letting the enemy reach their weak points.

Pic related is a classic example of a stupid knight just waiting around for an unarmored peasant to pull him from his horse, rip off his helmet, and stab him in the face. This drawn image is perfectly valid evidence of that.
