Armor in the game (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)
It seemed to me alone from the gameplay videos that most of the armor looks like grandfather's quilted jackets? It seems that only medium armor will be normal for LOR, because light armor is simply terrible in appearance, and in heavy Geralt is clad in heavy armor with a shoulderYes, all normal armor. Or do you want to dress Geralt in tight pink latex armor? Well, mods will solve this issue.

I'm talking about this, that the situation you described, in my opinion, can be implemented without mods

Well, it seems to me that if you do LOR, then there will be very little armor in general, as in the first part. As far as I remember, both players and critics complained about this.

I remember someone told me about grandfather
's padded jackets in reviews of the witcher on "neighboring" sites) But in fact: yes, light armor looks like "sheepskin coats" ... but in principle ... this is a fantasy "Slavic" and besides trying to "be friends" with realism. And the real armor of those times - to put it mildly, is not quite beautiful ... For them (and this is logical) practicality and protection are important (for certain types, a certain protection is natural) ... and not appearance ... we will have to come to terms ...
The category of light armor includes "stuffed armor" (quilted jacket), protection only from tangential blows (wounds) or shock absorption. Stuffed aketon, gambeson, quilt ...
And why does Gerald need gothic armor, m:
Spoiler 
He should have leather-studded armor. It's pointless criticism in my opinion. No. The criticism itself makes sense. But otherwise... If there are armor in the game, this is already nonsense. Gerald is not a knight.

sobsno I'm talking about the same ... In fact, what to expect in appearance and in protection from "light armor" in real life? Cushioning some blows and so on, but outwardly it will be like a quilted jacket ...
THURISAZ
this armor in the Inquisition would be completely appropriate) WELL, you understand what I mean)
IceMuse
Well, the Poles took as a basis (and Sapkowski too) a real-life time period in Western Europe. Clothing, weapons, everyday life ... there are no ridiculous swords and sledgehammers from DAI, which is very good for the atmosphere)
IceMuse
Well, that's understandable. I myself love medieval things and armor. But here they are in place. And in the Inquisition they are too anime, so to speak. Not that anime, but too ... fantasy. Here. And the Witcher, as it were, is also fantasy, but it is. Other. Well, in short, you understand)
Why does a witcher need heavy armor? He is sharp, like an electric broom, he needs speed and freedom of movement.
In the book, he wore a leather jacket...
IceMuse
So the picture is a real armor from the Gothic era) Almost a piece copy. Gerald will not be able to hunt normally in it =(
In Play Station Access, the guys posted videos on the witcher, their subscribers asked why you supposedly dressed Geralt as a clown. And he says, at the moment this is the best equipment that I have. So, apparently, for the sake of protection, you will have to suppress a sense of aesthetics in yourself
And I am for "historicity" in the game ... look on the net what simple landsknechts were wearing in Europe, practicality, convenience, and possibly cost are important there. But it's not aesthetic beauty.
