There a way to depict female warriors and armor customization in games without angering historical accuracy lovers or angering people who want fantasy escapism?
>>740856804How about not having women in combat positions? Nothing ruins immersion more than a female warrior.>B-BUT HOLLYWOOD TOLD ME...
>>740856804You shouldn't care about pleasing minority demographics of people who aren't going to play your game in the first place, especially when it comes to freedom of creativity and expression.
>>740857019But I like female warriors for sexy reasons.
>>740857019Not every game has to be a historic recreationObsessive Realism is a disease and we see it expressed in behavior such as demanding simulation tier accuracy at the cost of gameplay fluidity or insisting that characters should be ugly because "real people are ugly, chud".Design trends are cyclical and I feel that realism has been exausted this cycle and we should return to a more mythical presentation that seeks to build something wonderful and beautiful.Something that is the exact opposite whatever the fuck Nolan is doing with Odyseus
Just stop putting foids in games
>>740857380>Something that is the exact opposite whatever the fuck Nolan is doing with OdyseusThe movie is practically sold out everywhere and doesn't release for another month and a half. They also got the usual defense force out in droves. Its gonna be weird when normal people see a 4'10, spindly-armed, tranny Achilles, muttoid Athena, a rapper playing one of Odysseus men or a black Helen of Troy. The plate armored giants and obvious lack of Bronze age armor is something they'll ignore because they know nothing of that kinda stuff. You could have Superman show up and they'll cheer.
>>740856804>strength is the opposite of dex memebut actually, properly built muscles (no, not bodybuilding baloon-muscle faggotry) are a requirement for high dex. There are some movements that you can't even pull off if your muscles are weak. Also, a key element of dex is speed and speed is built by acceleration, and acceleration is achieved through force. How do you get force? Strength! She needs the armor because no amount of dex will make you able to dodge 100% of the time. Also, no serious warrior would ever neglect their dexterity and agility. These things are not only for defensive purposes but also for weapon skill and getting around your enemy's defenses. >the invincible barbarian/berserker memeNo amount of consitution will save you when your tendons are cut, making movement phyically impossible. This is not a matter of willpower or vitality, not even psychoactive drugs and painkillers will change this. Unless the barbarian moves and protects herself through some kind of magic, but then she is just a naked version of middle. >she is practically immune to weapons because barbarian so why is she dodging then? Inconsistent bullshit. First neglects dex because her armor protects her, but barbarian still dodges even though her body is her armor? Whoever made this shit up is a huge fucking idiot with nothing but hollywood and game "knowledge" on the matter of armors and warrior physicality.
>>740856804>>740857019This is all answered simply by the fact that fantasy is not Earth. If you make a new setting, then it's not beholden to historical accuracy in the slightest. Any fictional setting can have whatever goddamn rules it wants.People have let autistic niggers get away with dumb shit like>oh if you want to have women be just as strong as men then that's as fantasy breaking as having them drive in a BMWand it's like, no you fucking retards. If you're making a setting from the ground up, then it is actually perfectly fine to have equally strong women knights driving BMWs and it not break immersion at all, because it's not trying to immerse you in a historical fantasy. It's just pure fantasy. There are no rules with creating fiction. You are adding the rules to your setting as you make it. The requirement from then on is to then make that fantasy engaging, and the only people you inherently filter are those autistic mongoloids that has to have everything follow patterns or they going "nghghgngn, nghgNGHHNGHGH" and have a melty.
>>740856804>full realism, no female allowed to be fightersboring>realism but with female fighters in full armorsboring and preachy with modern values>fuck realism and go full bikini armori will now buy your game
>>740858259>so why is she dodging then?You silly billy. You still don't want to get hit by attacks even with armor. Hell, it's actually still really dangerous for her. Being resistant or even immune to damage doesn't mean you're invulnerable to physics or fatigue. This is something that has killed fully armored knights all the time.All someone needs to do is use leverage to get her on the ground and they could find a way to bind or suffocate her. Hell, that's probably be a good idea for a setting: knights fighting invulnerable barbarians that they end up having to carry tools for defeating, like a bag of sand to pour down their mouths if they can tackle them and pry them open
I'm fine with any combination of full historical realism autism where women are rightfully excluded as fighters, or just complete fantasy where everything is allowed. Just as long as it's not the preachy, modern feminist values bullshit where you bend realism to include women in positions of power and combat, but have to keep give them male armor. Which doesn't even make sense, because there are examples of male armor being decorative, ceremonial, or provocative, such as painted on abs/nipples, or just fighting completely nude, yet the ones that want women to be included and always be fully armored never want this type of realism either.
>>740856804This is already solved by Monster Hunter.
>>740859538What does MH do?
>>740857019Realism is gay, and you're a gay faggot for caring about realism.

>>740857019>Nothing ruins immersion more than a female warr-AAAAAAAACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK
>>740865481Gay.
Just make them likeable and you can make them wear whatever you want.
Putting women in vidya is woke. Stop it.
Tiny women with BIG weapons in HEAVY armor is my favorite thing.
Nude mod since historically the females main function on the battlefield was getting raped.
Just make them dinosaurs
>>740856804Shouldn't the magic-user be the one to wear almost no armor at all, due to spells like ironflesh, haste, blink, etc?
