Re: reasons 2 bring back armor
So, this is a game with magical power, werewolves and trolls and all sorts of mythical creatures. Featuring weapons that morph depending on how the person using them behaves within this world. All of these things are going to be in the game, and people are nit picking about the realism of having armor or not?
I think armor would be fine and upon looking through screen shots it looks as though this game will feature armor. If you dont want to use it no one is forcing you, it definitely doesn't seem to be overly prominent in any screen shots I've seen, just on a few guards but it still looked historically accurate to the time period.
Also to debunk the entire, "Guns make armor obsolete" argument, a lot of the creatures within this game don't use guns. I've never seen a balverine or troll wielding a gun before, and as far as I know the hollow men don't use them either (I could be wrong about that).
Within this game armor makes a lot of sense, will my character use it? Definitely not, but I don't think it should be taken out of the game for people who do want to use it just because some say it's historically inaccurate.
Also, if you watch Deadliest Warrior, they did an episode about a Knight vs. Pirate and the only firearm that could pierce the Knights armor was the blunderbuss.
