Why are videogames, particularly those of the fantasy variety, so obsessed with the concept of leather armor, something that barely existed irl, while the infinitely more common padded cloth armor is an extremely rare sight?
>>720764684Blame Dungeons and Dragons
>>720764684Because gambeson look dogshit. Go larp somewhere else, faggot. If we're gonna use more realistic armor, we need more sallets, which are actually cool, but rare in vidya.
>>720764684It's warg leather that's why it's so strong and plentiful.
>>720764684gambesons look really ugly, especially white gambesons, they look like pjs
>>720764684Why are autists particularly of the gay variety so obsessed with the concept of historical accuracy to the point where we can't have sexy bitches in bikini plate armor anymore
>>720764684Biker gangs are "cool," and that extends to patchwork leather jerkins for le rogue characters in fantasy
>>720764684Because people who make fantasy videogames don't study history.

>an entire civilization that had nothing but gambesons and gay decorative feather suits for armordamn no wonder nearly all media goes out of its way to portray them as naked savages instead
>>720764840Imagine being such a faggot.
>>720764684because video games aren't real.
>>720764684nobody has the fantasy of fighting monsters while wearing a couch, hence it doesn't exist in fantasy vidya. hope this helps
>>720764684Gambesons are pretty.
>>720764684Padded cloth armor lacks a cool factor.
>>720764684>particularly those of the fantasy varietyI assume in these, its not some lame cow skin, but some magical creature perhaps?
