  1. Well, this is totally NOT skimpy. But I find it very sexy. edit: put under spoiler. too big. this made me sad, reminded me how much they mutilated the book. Well, I didn't say I liked the TV series... Still I'm sorry to have brought back such bad memories!

  3. I'd like to remind you that in the old IE games if your enemy was immune to normal weapon, I'd need at least a weapon +1 to even hit him.
  4. So what are you trying to say, that only "whores" wear revealing clothes, or that everyone wearing revealing clothes is a whore? Ah, thank you so much for decontextualizing my words. Next time quote the whole post. Or even better, play Witcher 2 (the game I was referring to) and see which other women wear revealing clothes (and notice the difference between the styles of the clothing). And remember, decontextualize other people words just to make them look bad, is childish.
  5. Hmmm, I never though about parallelism between Tolkien's Elves and the Tuatha De Danann. I know little of them, but aren't they something like the Olympian Gods?
  6. Uh, the "Dev WhiteKnighting" faction is growing. The developer integrity discussion got old with the debate on Mass Effect 3 ending.
  7. I'm absolutely a fan of Justin Sweet, but I don't think you people (i.e. the Women's Group for Non-Sexualized Females in Video Games - no offence meant, I actually agree with the general gist of your movement) really want him as your example of politically correct armour. I'm just saying. I don't really like his art myself, but not because of the boobage. Anyway, if he is hired and paid to depict realistic armors I think he can do it.
  8. Wikipedia: In classical antiquity, the muscle cuirass[1] or heroic cuirass is a type of body armor cast to fit the wearer's torso and designed to mimic an idealized human physique. It first appears in late Archaic Greece and became widespread throughout the 5th– 4th centuries BC.[2] It is commonly depicted in Greek and Roman art, where it is worn by generals, emperors, and deities during periods when soldiers used other types. In Roman sculpture, the muscle cuirass is often highly ornamented with mythological scenes. Archaeological finds of relatively unadorned cuirasses, as well as their depiction by artists in military scenes, indicate that simpler versions were worn in combat situations. The anatomy of muscle cuirasses intended for use might be either realistic or reduced to an abstract design; the fantastically illustrated cuirasses worn by gods and emperors in Roman statues usually incorporate realistic nipples and the navel within the scene depicted. Although the heavy muscle cuirass would have afforded sturdy protection, in practical terms it might have been too cumbersome, not to mention cost prohibitive, for regular use by an infantryman. The main purpose of the highly figured cuirass was to impress, and it was likely reserved for military reviews and parades. I know, it's Wikipedia, and many people seems to disregard whatever comes from it, but seems legit enough to me.
  9. Heh, I was born in 1984, and my parents says that I would often sit on the external floppy reader of my father's Commodore 64 to watch him play when I was still just ~1 year old.
  10. You know that a normal "male" plate armor does not follow the body shape like a glove, right? It was somehow bulky and rounded, so that it helped deflect hits and arrows (I think that was still poor against projectiles). If a plate for female warrior would fit the breast like a glove, at the first dent would become quite unconfortable, with a serious hit you could say "Hi my broken ribs/sternum!". So, a boob plate would be quite stupid. EDIT: Oh, and what Joukehainen said about guiding blows to the center of the pectoral area.
  11. I don't dislike half breeds, it's just that independently evolved creature should rarely be compatible (at least, that's what I gathered from my high-school days). And even if they could be, the chance that the offspring can reproduce are even smaller. Yet in almost all fantasy settings I know, various races are compatible and the offspring can procreate without problems. That should mean that, say, helves and humans are two different evolutions of one ancestral race. For once I'd like to see a world were the sapiens species are completely separated evolutions (even though going back enough every creature originates from a single primordial creature). This explanation is a mess. What I wanted to say is that if humans descends from monkeys, it feels like that elves and orcs do too. Why can't orcs have evolved from bears? And elves from cats? Uh... this example is even worst...
  12. The Barbarians had lived and served with an trained with the Romans for centuries. The line between Barbarian and Roman was pretty blurry by the end. Indeed if it were not for the confounding and very un-Roman-like bigotry of the Italians that line would have disappeared altogether. The half-naked guys had never done that well against the Romans. Though frankly (lol) even in their decadence the Roman Army very rarely lost. I don't understand if I need to feel offended or not. I just don't get the sense of the sentence
  13. Anyway, I can't believe no one still posted this. Oversexualization... ? This is... GENDER EQUALITY! It's totally the cape that makes the difference. EDIT: btw, why the hell do they have helms? I don't get it.
  14. Yes, that was only ceremonial dress armour. The normal Legionnaire Armor should have been something like this
  15. And this, ladies and gentlemen is a clear example of "TL:DR I'll just post some random trolling"
