Update #29: Fulfillment and the Pros and Cons of Nostalgia and Realism in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News Posted November 25, 2012 · Edited November 25, 2012 by Rødskjegg Hi all, first poster here ^^ (pardon my poor English skills) Just wanted to comment on the whole "heavy armour and mobility" thingy. Proper plate armour would not restrict movement at all, and would be much heavier than maille. If armour was as restrictive as Hollywood likes to claim, it would be useless. A slow moving target would be easy to grapple into submission. This clip demonstrates what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm11yAXeegg Also, would be awesome to see some proper harness fighting, instead of the good old sword swinging (which would be pretty useless against plate armour) There are six videoes in total, and I recommend watching them all ^^ 1
