Vasculio Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 From the looks of earlier builds. Looks like the Frog Helmet will return, which i don't mind at all. Considering its one of my favorites. What other styles will we see in PoD2? 1 Jason Seow Portraits http://www.jasonseow.com/poeportraits/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeras Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I want to see a chainmail+crown combo like this. Its my favorite kind of head 'protection' even if its not very protective. I also would like to see hoods over helms which would make sense for some of the new class combos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsene Lupin Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Hopefully the invisible style. It baffles me that any RPG releases without a "hide helmet/hat" option. Don't make the same mistake you made with PoE1, Obsidian! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeisaac Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Hopefully the invisible style. It baffles me that any RPG releases without a "hide helmet/hat" option. Don't make the same mistake you made with PoE1, Obsidian! They have confirmed a toggable hide head and cloak slot. Rejoice ! Apart from that, I hope there will be more than just helmets but a wider variety of headgear : caps, over the top hats, wreaths, small crowns or diadems, etc...

Sedrefilos Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I never hide helmets no matter how bad they are Well, we already know the game and its style, so we should expect late medieval/rennaisance-esque type of helmets with a fantasy touch on them. Maybe, in addition, some exploration era style and maybe Polynesian style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxQuest Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 ^ Call me a maniac, but I always hide cloaks and helmets (aside from headbands and scarf masks) on my dps characters. Back in the WoW days, I was even using this as a sort of what-to-expect-metric when I was going to face someone for the first time. Best dueling rogues never had their cloaks visible. #truestory PoE1 useful stuff: attack speed calculator, unofficial patch mod, attack speed mechanics, dot mechanics, modals exclusivity rules PoE2 useful stuff: community patch, attack speed mechanics, enemy AR and defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blutwurstritter Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The lack of panties was certainly disturbing and i hope they redeem this grave oversight in the sequel. No helmet can be an adequate replacement for the supple touch of worn silk, providing warmth and protection to the most vital parts of any true hero.

Juodas Varnas Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I just hope the "Small Horned Helmet" makes a comeback. Despite there not being a unique version of one, i really liked it and it was pretty close to the portrait i used for my chanter (I was sorta going for the whole "Opera singer" thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't make the same mistake you made with PoE1, Obsidian! See, if there's not a "Hide hide helmet/hat option" option, my immersion will be broken by the idea that my characters can wear head protection but somehow render it invisible. Although... "Armor Concealment" would be a pretty boss spell. Highwayman is all "Oh, I better go swing my sword at THIS stupid, unarmored guy, heh! *swing-CLANNNGGGG!*... WHAT the?!!!" 1 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PugPug Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Spend 10 minutes to an hour (depending on the RPG) crafting the perfect head. 5 minutes into play, loot a snailskin cap and never see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasculio Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm a helmet addict... so the more helmets, the better. I would love to see Wing Tipped helmets inspired from Baldurs Gate.

It's less important for something like Pillars, but in a game like Divinity Original Sin 1 or 2, where you can zoom in closer on the characters, it's really annoying to pick out some awesome hair or facial details in character creation, and then spend the entire game covering everything up with a helmet. And sometimes the helmets just look derpy as hell, like the "horned" helmet sprite in Baldur's Gate 2 that was sized too big relative to the character sprites. That kind of thing ensured Misnc *always* looked like a doofus. And then there are games like Dragon Age or Neverwinter Nights that have "cinematic" cameras that zoom in really close... where it's super derpy to see character talking normally with tin cans over their heads. It's basically saying, "if you don't want your character to look stupid, you have to sacrifice armor/skills/bonuses." And I think asking players to choose between aesthetics and mechanics is a very bad thing. And I think more developers are recognizing this. For all its flaws, Diablo 3 is really good about let players modify the appearance of armors, and Xenoblade Chronicles X (such a fantastic game, omg) lets players equip two sets of armor at once--one for armor, and another on top for visuals. So if you like how low-spec armor looks, you can keep its appearance while using higher-spec armor. TL;DR these kinds of aesthetic options should ALWAYS be there. Just like fully fleshed out option menus with audio sliders, scalable text size/UI elements, and resolution options. Anyway, on-topic, come on. It's gotta be Frog Helms. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3566/3679099738_85981e811c.jpg https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--CFowk4yO--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/18penzxtjn5wmjpg.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/03/14/26A6B8B600000578-0-image-m-3_1426366792273.jpg https://www.chaostrophic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/10-frog-mouth-helmet.jpg First and only choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlintlockJazz Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 There must be pointy hats! They are the best wizard hats: not stupid looking, can be quite ominous but also friendly looking depending on the expression of wearer, and provide protection from rain. 2 "That rabbit's dynamite!" - King Arthur, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail "Space is big, really big." - Douglas Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshae Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The association between pointy hats and ancient wizardry is a dubious one, possibly associated with antisemitism.

PugPug Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Really I would like a hood. I know they are supposed to be attached to cloaks, but that is a separate equipment slot. I think they call a hood all by itself a cowl? Is it a real thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
