It comes from Hollywood always wanting the actors' faces to be visible. This created a certain expectation that game devs simply followed. Especially AAA devs who use expensive models and celebrities for their face scans.
Basically marketing bullshit ruins everything.

Named characters don't wear helmets, peasant.

I hate the "epic hero doesn't have a helmet" look. It never fails to look ridiculous. WoW was a pretty bad offender but the absolute worst was 40k. The marines without helmets look utterly ridiculous with their dinky little head. It always reminds me of a kid wearing his dad's suit and stuffed it with toilet paper to fill it out. Just looks stupid as can be.

I really like masks and helmets are just an extension of that. Bonus points for having the voice sound different because of a mask or helmet. The muffled voice from a mask, the echo-y sound of talking in a metal helmet, even when it sounds like the voice comes from a speaker when wearing some high tech power armor. Isaac's muffled screaming when you're stomping a necro out of frustration. Fycking love that shit. FFXII fell kind of flat for me but I kept playing it purely because of how the judges sounded. Just had to hear all their lines. Love it.

Helmets sgould be mandatory if you wear any type of full body armor.
The unarmored head is just such an obvious target. A helmet and either a cuirass or shield are the highest priority armor pieces.

You know not wanting to see visible facial features is a trait of autism right

Is it a bad thing to be able to relate to a character without relying on seeing their face?
>>
>>729116609
Where do you think you are?
>>
>>729116816
i didn't say that it was bad, i just think being actively disturbed by visible facial features under a helmet or a mask to the point of complaint is an autistic trait, which isn't inherently bad, it's just autistic
>>
>>729116609
>>729116686
On a theoretical scale, humans, and in fact most animals, are absurdly autistic. What we call "autism" in humans is really just half a notch higher on the universal autism scale. Most humans have incredibly autistic tendencies. They construct their own inner fantasy worlds that they just sort of expect you to understand and get frustrated when you don't. When people expect you to read the room or whatever, that's autism. They're not actually asking you to consider someone else's point of view. They're asking you to follow the rules of their own inner kingdom the way they understand it. Normies are extremely autistic.
>>
>>729116874
I'm autistic but like left and right, middle's just the shitty-looking middle ground
I don't think others are disturbed by it so much as think right just looks cooler

I have a thing for gss masks.
Sadly, they are highly impractical to wear outside of scenarios involving toxic gasses, chemicals or housefires because they restrict breathing and perception.

There's something about masked characters that make them appealing for some reason. Women for example tend to crush on masked male characters as well.

Faces look weird without hair and ears. If you are covering those features just go all the way and give them a full face mask.

Isacc's engineer armor really had a great deal of care put into it, hell most of Dead Space's technology and designs did. Its clearly not something built for frontline combat, its not outlandish, it feels like a bluecollar piece of work designed to withstand the dangers of mining or engineering incidents. Which also works against the Necromorphs slashing attacks.

Depending on the circumstances, left can be fine. If you're going to be pretty mobile or wearing that helmet for prolonged periods of time having your mouth and nose covered like on the right or middle can make breathing uncomfortable.

My brain is designed for a society where there are like 25 people around, ever, and understanding little tiny nuances is apparently extremely important. Faces have too much information in them. It's more unusual for someone to not mind tons of information flow all the time.

>uh did you know helmets and autism and realism and
Blahblahblah. I just think someone that is armored and not wearing a helmet looks silly. It throws off their body proportions and they have just this dinky pin head. It's silly. As much as I really crave some realism and stuff that looks functional it's not about that. They just look silly without a helmet if they are wearing some kind of armor.
Although I always get a giggle out of the functional part. I always imagine all these soldiers with helmets and masks kicking up all thos dirt on the battlefield and our epic hero that's too cool for a helmet has to keep stopping because he took a dirt clot to the dome or keeps getting dust in his eye so he has to stop and rub at it.
