Actual chainmail bikini

Nah.

y'all niggas don't know how to have fun
There is nothing sexier than a woman in semi-realistic full plate

make it boobplate and i'll agree

It's not "muh realism", it's about a functional and pleasing aesthetic. That pig disgusting Amazon posted is neither. Chainmail bikinis are the epitome of shitty character design.

At least gets it right. This is slut plate done right.

What are you, gay?
Boobplate is shit
However, helmets/masks that look like faces are the shit

To answer OP's question: all of them have already been posted, the whole "controversy" was just more fake feminist bullshit.

Back to the usual bitching about female armor these threads always devolve into.

That isn't chainmail, it's plate.

OP trips confirm some good taste.
You can't go talking about bikini armour without mention the classics like Valis. Too bad most of them and their remakes were pretty shit, but I still fucking love that 80s/90s bikini armour style.
There's also the Leda anime OVA , if you're interested.

I can never say no to this shit. This is part oft he reason why I have a thing for elves. They almost always seem to be wearing this.

Only if they have the law enforcement paladin attitude that goes best with that look.
On a related note, why do these threads only have Dragon's Crown Amazon when the other playable girls are arguably better-dressed?

like this?

I respect your right to have a shit opinion.

Dude that doesnt count. ITs obviously scale mail and NOT chain mail. Don't be an idiot and think before posting in an important thread.

I like the look of this except for the girls eyes in the second pic, they are way too fucking large, even for anime man.

The Genesis games are pretty fun.

That was the point.
Still no answers in this bread.

well were talking about chain-mail bikini and not just dragons crown. The dark elves do wear something pretty similar but im fairly sure its not chain-mail or scale mail.

There's always modded Oblivion
oddly enough, Skyrim doesn't have chain armor

That is embarrassingly bad design right there.

Speaking of embarassingly bad, that face looks like a child's drawing.

For God's sake, can't you at least post a well-put-together design when defending a design element you like?

I prefer seeing fantasy warrior women wearing practical armour, but that is my personal and subjective opinion and I wouldn't fault any character designer for sexualizing their characters however they see fit, nor would I berate someone for enjoying seeing sexualized and stylized equipment.

Having said that, chainmail bikinis are dumb and you're dumb if you like them. Fuck you. Fight me.

I found most of them to be pretty clunky and stiff, though. I probably just spoiled by more fluid games of the same genre.

Top kek, as they say.
Anyway, I've done my part for this thread, but now it just devolve into the cataclysmic shitposting they always do. Sad we can never have anything nice without "muh function" fags shitting the place up.

Actually I only realised that after I posted the picture, although it still works I guess.

Ah, so you are another man of shit taste

All I'm asking is that the look fit the character.
Is that really such a crime?

Nah, still shit design. The rest of the DC characters are fine. The Amazon is pure laziness.

I have to say that I love "feminine" looking full-plate. Not boob plate exactly, more monoboob with an hourglass figure.

...

Confirmed fag

Like Samus?

How about boob plate AND an hourglass figure?

I've got bad news for you, fam. Males with low testosterone are more likely to find masculine females attractive, while high T males have a bias towards women with more feminine features.

...

I played them a lot on emulator with a keyboard so I likely lowered my standards for that. I was quite surprised that one game was with SD character designs.

Chinks in armor. :^)

It's a nod to Frazetta's work, Bakshi's Fire and Ice and, pretty much, all of barbarian fantasy pulp fiction.

...

...

Who invited the dick-sucking commiefornian?

No, it just looks stupid

What about traps

That shit is waaaay too low to be used for anything whatsoever. It's not a sheath and it's not armor, that scrap hangs between her legs without actually covering anything. Whoever drew that was retarded.

t. Polygon

I feel the need to modify your question OP. Change it to "What games have chainmail bikinis, but do not have a male outfit just as skimpy?" because I just realized that an overwhelming majority of the games that have the chainmail bikins also loincloth outfits for the men.

No idea, they weren't part of the study, but I'd wager that the "trap" obsession on chans is closely related to the fetish spiral that access to all kinds of hardcore porn has on developing brains.

->>12968999
I'm of the opinion that more is less and that qt girls in a full set of armor is way more sexy then some small pieces of "armor" being held on with nothing more then a few straps.
But you're welcome to your own opinion user.
also that isn't mail in your image

If you're worried about realism and you dislike unrealistic armor, then consider taking a step back and seeing how unrealistic it is for women to be warriors in the first place.

That's bullshit, I was in that demographic, and all my most degenerate fetishes are just various forms of high-intensity heterosexual sex for the purpose of procreation.

Your personal experience is irrelevant. Just as drug addicts seek out larger doses as their tolerance grows to get the same hit or high, so do porn addicts seek out harder and stranger porn to scratch the itch. It's the same thing.

...

Well it eventually led to me owning a chainmail bikini myself so I guess this could really go either way. Sure it's shit protection but this thing is comfy!

More to the point though, there is a simple progression of heterosexual porn > threesomes > gangbangs > NTR, as well as traps > orgasm denial/chastity >NTR. Really it's a matter of being able to handle your shit and not be a fucking cuck.

They did exist, they just wore the male armor (Like this post is displaying: ).

in what setting?
Kunoichi's were better assassins
Tachibana Ginchiyo was a fucking GREAT warrior and was able to lead the otomo clan from the age of six.
Jeanne D' Arc was not only a sexy ass schizo but a really good general.
It really all depends on context my nig.

kys

You can toss around all the buzzwords you like, but you still can't deny that the human brain becomes acclimated to any source of pleasure over time and has a strong tendency to seek out novel sources of it. Porn is no exception and there's no good reason to think it would be, except to make you feel better about your porn addiction.

Sure, there have been a handful of female warriors in history, but they were mostly assassins that used seduction as a primary tool, or figureheads for people to rally around. A female warrior would get fucked fighting a male warrior the vast majority of the time, maybe literally.

This entire thread is like the "Ass or Tits" question. Some simply prefer one over the other. However, i for one think why not both.

anyways, back to the chainmail bikini thing, the first boss you fight in Prince of Persia, Warrior Within is wearing something akin to one.

Because the thread wasn't about one or the other, OP wants to know what games give him one.

I actually can.

No, but the thread basically asked for it and nearly every user in it delivered what was to be expected. The ass or tits question armor version.

because you'd rule out those who only have either, you basically created another category
ass, tits and both

it's clear cut.

By offering no counterarguments or reasoning of your own, and just putting your fingers in your ears and saying "no u", you have completely dismantled my argument, user. Well done. Porn is the exception in every way, and is not affected by the same functions that make people tired of eating the same meal day. In fact, I'm sure you masturbate to the same picture every single day and it never becomes any less interesting or arousing.

...

Where do you think you are, normalfag?

I'd like to retort but lately I'm not so convinced that that's not true anymore

Seriously, kill yourself.

Most people don't jerk off to degenerate shit. You don't do it because you 'escalated' to it. You jerk off to that shit because you are a fucking degenerate and always were.

Normalfags like NTR too.

the only people against sexy bitches in armour are redditors

Upvote for you fellow neet. Reeee! xD

Who ever drew that knew exactly what they were doing

How delusional can you get?

Using realism as an excuse for why bikini armor is dumb is stupid I agree, but one can spend their disbelief that a woman in a fictional fantasy world is a warrior of some sort, it's hard to do that when she also wears nothing more then a few straps and some underwear.
I have nothing against bikini armor though nor do I want it removed from games, as long as I have the option to wear regular armor I'm happy.

Agreed
thighs are better but small tits are also pretty good

I doI only fap to my waifu
I'm the opposite of this, I started off with some weird fetishes and have moved down to more vanilla stuff over the years, now I'm pretty much just vanilla and have been that way for a long while now. still can't believe I used to jack off to futa and torture porn happy I got out of that shit

Girls are best inside power armor. Non-powered armor is for worst girls.

...

You have the right line of thought, but the best girl is the one that IS armor. Sentient power armor isn't a thing yet, but I want wartime waifu wear™

High level comedy sir I see what you did there.

user, feel good knowing you aren't a filthy fucking degenerate like I was.

I feel like my numbers confirm this fact.

...

Just found an excuse to post these

Well I just found an excuse for you to never post it again.

A Red Sonja vidya could be pretty cool if Western devs had the balls to give it proper justice.
Even as a weeb, I don't think I'd want nip devs to do it unless it's a joint effort. By themselves, they'd probably make it too cutesy and mellow.

...

Coming from a weeb like yourself, that really doesn't phase me at all.

What about a girl inside a suit of power armor possessed by a girl who previously piloted it? They are twin sisters

wew

...

Wearing nonsense armor that doesn't protect anything is not the same thing as not wearing any armor. You're comparing two completely different things.

Are you just trying to get us to dump smug anime girls or what?

The basic premise is still retarded because it's not like excessively showy/not-as-useful-as-plain armor never existed.

No one with an IQ over 80 at most fought in actual battles and wars naked. Depictions of Gallic savages wearing nothing at all are absolute fantasy, same as the Amazons.

You like assboobs?

That last picture you posted really is horrific though

...

I agree with him, that last image is repulsive. Acquire better taste ASAP

It protects their nips from nicks while being comfortable, breathable, and more durable than a standard cloth bra. Your problem is thinking of it as armor when it actually is just combat underwear meant to do all the things underwear does without being instantly destroyed by a little physical activity. Sure they could just go out naked, but then their breasts flop about and throw off their balance, dirt and shit gets in their vagina, and sensitive skin gets all roughed up by just about anything.
Even now, with all our fancy synthetic fabrics and materials, If I wanted to be as unhindered and close to naked as possible for something like adventuring through the woods or dungeons, I would choose a chainmail man-thong just to keep my bits close and free from scratches while traversing brush or getting caught up in someone else's armor while trying to grapple their shit.
This is about the best I can do at providing an argument for the practical use of bikini mail, but the obvious reason for wearing it is that its just plain sexy.

Congrats, you pointed out why this topic exists. Were you trying to say something intelligent instead?

MMOs are pretty notorious for having chainmail bikinis. They're a huge reason why there's such a huge demand for transmogs/prisms/appearance slots. They've been a running theme since the first Everquest.

Realism fags might complain, but seeing as chainmail bikinis exist in the same universes where magic, elves and other fantasy shit exist, doesn't give them much of a leg to stand on.

The only feminists that would complain are the ones who cry about "muh objectification", but those are usually sex-negative feminists, and they aren't even real feminists anyway. Just attention whales.

...

am i the only one who sees a dick

I'm looking for the ebin shitposting flag but I don't see it

:^)

Futa is nothing to be afraid of

I'd say they're more feminist than the whores who want to justify their enjoyment of degrading their own gender by being sex objects that like getting fondled by male eyes.

Are you making this shit up or is there something I need to go masturbate to in the near future?

Ever felt chainmail before, retard?

That sounds fantastic, and I'd like to read whatever t hat would be.

...

...

Yes. It is pretty cool and comfortable. How about you actually present an argument instead of just calling me a retard. You could maybe even think of ways to fix the holes in my argument and make it work instead of just being hostile and attacking things you don't like or agree with.

It probably exists somewhere.

But the fear boner is the best kind.

Lie? More like make things up to promote patriotism.

He said that there were cultures in real life that go into battle wearing nothing at all, which is plain wrong outside of Africa.

So what? All chainmail bikinis are magic?
Your argument is a fallacy and doesn't have a leg to stand on.

No
Because game journos are retards.
Some characters wear ScaleMail Bikinis though.

Nobody in this thread has posted any chainmail and I fucking hate all of you.

Glamoured armor. Done.
Full plate enchanted to look and feel like a chain bikini, yet still provides all the protection of full plate. It's not even that hard.

Since it's a fantasy universe, it's not hard to imagine that their abs, buttocks, and legs are so strong that they can easily withstand attacks from steel weaponry.

This occurs all the time in fiction. Haven't you ever watched DBZ?

Yes, and the nipples and bagina are more sensitive and vulnerable to attack, thus bikini armor. It all makes sense now.

well they are more sensitive. You can tone abs but you can't tone nipples. Loincloths because well if you're going to guard your nips, might as well guard their privates as well. For fashion.

pretty much all mmorpgs

OP's underboob pic is once again godly.

Not even. Merely not wanting to fight completely nude is an adequate reason..

There is a silly nip cartoon about qt girls using bikini armor

Then you'd think regular clothes would suffice, or at the the very least regular underclothes without random plate attached.

If you had a perfect figure wouldn't you want to show it off? Also you might be tough enough to resist a blade, but your clothes might not be. Shit gets expensive.

If an enemy running right toward you isn't wearing more armor than you, they're either crazy or absolutely confident in their ability to kick your ass anyway - the more so the less they're wearing. Combine that with what suggested and you have a recipe for mindfuck.

Regular clothes would just get cut and burned in combat. At least with chainmail bikinis you don't have to worry about looking shabby, because if it gets cut off then you're just naked.

Then why aren't the straps made of something durable? If you're just using it to barely cover yourself, then making sure it stays on should be a priority.

The episode about selling all your shit to get a better weapon only to find it in a chest in the next dungeon was fucking great.

If you had a perfect figure wouldn't you want to show it off?

...

Chainmail scalemail, leather, whatever bikini in a nutshell.

Style over realism.
I would rather have the style. Realism is alright in small doses, but I don't play games to relive the dark ages. I might at some point want to try it, but as a whole more fantasy less reality.

But I also perfer substance to style. Greatest graphics and artsyle doesn't matter for shit if it's empty and boring.

I still prefer sexy outfits that might pass as armor. Not platemail or bikinis honestly.

I would buy the fuck out of that product just for that fucking character.

>>>/tumblr/
>>>/twitter/

Merely not wanting to fight completely nude is an adequate reason.

If you don't like bikini armor you're a faggot and most likely a feminist in denial or hiding.

It's not there because he's right, you're a fucking retard.

Doesn't stop the fact that it would still be a great character.

idk about you guys but if I had to choose between cutting down a man in full armor or a super hot female warrior showing off her body I'd cut down the male every single time.

These people have autism, no two ways about it. They should be disregarded and/or mocked.

...

...

Looks more like a plate bikini to me.

You could wear leather under the chainmail.

That's one, very specific example.

You have autism and shit taste

You could chop her head and limbs off and use her as a fucknugget

This is how the autist argues. Notice the pathetic overtones of his post. He has a pitiful life.

...

Cool nonpost.
A wizard did it, kid. I ain't gotta explain shit.

I need games with this even lewd ones

plebs, fuck off

...

That thread was shit from start to finish, fuck off.

I don't really like bikinis in general honestly.
Clothing for lewd is like the wrapping paper and packaging on a gift, sure you could just not have it or have very little of it and jump strait to the gift but going through the posses of taking everything off and then finally getting to the gift makes the it all the more enjoyable.
It's also nice knowing someone took the time putting it on just for you to take it off.

whats wrong user, you don't want a loli to tease you after you blow your load on her armpit pussy?

I'd rather blow my load on her real pussy thank you very much.

>Not blowing your load in her real pussy

What a gay.

Got more of the fourth one?

go masturbate to your cuckolding fantasies shitlib.

This thread hurts my inner-/k/.

Agree'd
It might be the perspective, but that helmet might not be accurate, the back tail is not domed.

Are anti boobplate, chainmail bikini fucks just tumblr rejects trying to push their agenda?

yes, armor is included in /k/ newfag.

which fresh hell are you from retard?

Please lurk more before you do retarded shit like this

They have swords and armor threads. It is not the majority, but it is there.

How new are you guys? 8/k/ doesn't just talk about funz you know, hell the only reason there isn't more armor threads is because of fear of some Canadian autist screeching or whatever.

haha what's going on here? chainmail armor?

...

Out liners represent the norm now?

Since when hasn't /k/ included armor? Last I checked it was about weapons, armor, military, survival, and the settlement of the hostile monkey-infested lands known as Detroit.

You really should wear a padded bra under your mail bikini if you don't want to shred your nipples into bloody scraps.

swords are still weapons
armor is /tg/ or Holla Forums

8/k/ hasn't had an armor thread in the last few months. Stop making shit up tumblrite.

Since forever? Have you even visited the board? Modern day gear is a far cry from plate mail or proper armor discussion.

boo-hoo, I made a joke.

Yes I have and I remember there being armor threads.

More like you got called out for being the subversive cunt you are

Shit user you really are new here it's obvious you just ctrl+f for armor and only came across the power armor thread and assumed that was it., the last medieval armor thread (which usually ends up becoming a picture dump) was way more then 2 months ago and most topics older then 3 months simply fell off the catalog by necessity because in April the site was taken out by a hacker. so corruption of various threads meant it was easier to just let them die.

Sorry for double posting, but I am trying to understand this. You are going to have to walk me through here how armor, a device whose existence is an integral part of the development and use of weapon of war in which neither would exist without the other, is absolutely 100% in no way weapons related.
It's like saying computers are not vidya related just because they are not video games themselves.

You're fucking retarded. Both appear on both boards and both are equally acceptable on either.

t. /k/ and /tg/

They're both feminists. Now, are you from Holla Forums or MGTOW?

I bet Pebble's a raging drunk in another universe.

That was a cute story.

Another reminder of his patrician taste.

There's no way to make your idea plausible though. There is no imaginable scenario where anyone would wear just mail alone without the garments that support it on your body. Mail isn't clothing, it's armor. You would never wear a plate cuirass on your naked body for example.

Mail alone is not comfortable or cool. The reason why everyone in the history of the world wore padding underneath it is because it pinches and chafes your skin, gets so hot in the sun it burns you, it's heavy and requires an undergarment to distribute the weight over your body and it also occurs to me that real mail was never made with stainless steel so your sweat would accelerate rust formation on it, just to exacerbate the other issues.

Well there you go. What garments would you use under them to help retain the positive effects and reduce the negative effects of bikini mail without introducing many, if any at all, of its own negative effects?
You have all the fabrics in the modern and fantasy world to work with, as well as come up with your own if you can sell the idea well enough. You can do better than just cop out with the historical response.

Forgot to add that the mail could be made out of anything too, titanium, mithril, carbon nanotubes, whatever you want. Were just trying to advocate Satans patented bikini mail here, have some fun with it.

Your opinion means very little to me - just enough to make me respond actually.

Didn't boobplates are more harmful than chain-bikini? Somewhere on /k/ people once talked about how bad inures can someone get from a boobplate… Do we have a /k/ommando here to reinforce this?

thats not chainmail

I think the game with chain mail bikini was that prince of persia where they laughably tried to be edgy with the artstyle

and if we were going for realism, women would be busy doing menial housework

chan.sankakucomplex.com/?tags=meltlilith

>not knowing about cryptos, 1200 years of (((Vatican))) revisionism and texts burnings.

Cato-lycos and aposto-lycos. Usually the Catholic does not even know what it means. Catolicus means destroying the wolf or the wolf. In Latin it is lupus, in Greek it is lycos. Then it destroys the wolf. Apostolicus, I renounce the wolf, because apostle is a badly played word, principally inside the church, because apostle is actually "renouncer", hence apostate. Who is the apostate? The one who renounces a religion. Hence apostolicus means renouncing the wolf, destroying the wolf. What is the wolf? Rome and all the values of Rome.

Catos = destruction; Lycos = Wolf; Aposto = Betrayal or Quit.

Imagine taking a blow while wearing boob armor. The force of the blow gets focused on that small area between the boob cups, and can and most likely will shatter your sternum.

Fine you bastard but you better start using the proper name.

Ok I kinda want this.

...

You two would not be invited to the lan party. Holy fuck. Here is the JOKE-^ and here is your head-v

Dubs confirm, powersuit is fucking hot AND functional.

Are you faggots trying to make me fap?

That first pic is retarded, armor would only protect you only from blows that wouldn't be lethal anyways, if the women were good fencers they could beat the fully armored guy. Armor is largely overrated, the best defense is not getting hit (dark souls has it right).

The point of the picture is that it's an armored woman killing a bunch of more attractive women than her in what is a bout of passive aggressiveness from the creator. But yes, there is plenty of manuals that detail how someone unarmored is to fight someone who is.

This only happens if you're not wearing any padding under your plate, which happens literally never. Faggots who spread this myth have never heard of a buff coat or gambeson, and just imagine that plate is in immediate contact with bare skin. An edged weapon wouldn't pierce plate or have its force concentrated enough to cause internal injuries, while a mace wouldn't be seriously affected by the shape of the breastplate.

This isn't even getting into the fact that an actual boobplate meant for use in combat would be designed exactly like an ordinary breastplate, with the ornamentation being hollow and welded over the top. Because you're wearing heavy clothing under the plate, it doesn't actually conform to the shape of the body. You're confusing plate armor designs with things like ceremonial muscle cuirasses from antique times.

Go ahead weebs. Do your worst

No its not nigger, not everything is NAW MAN ITS A ANGRY FEMINIST.

Chainmail bikini was considered retarded since the 90s by some.

top tier taste my man

Yes it is. Lying to yourself won't change that nor will it change that. The fucker even makes it obvious that he was being a fussy bitch.
ethicallychallenged.deviantart.com/art/One-to-Go-562633243

More like there's armor hiding under that bikini.

>>>/out/

The artist of that second picture has a particular interest in women getting shot and killled

bull shit

the cloth tunic is only good because it makes it look like theyre not wearing armor it looks like their tits are about to burst out of a potato sack and thats whats good

You're going to be fighting dragons, you may as well wear as little as possible. It's not like some tin plate's going to stop you from cooking, but extra mobility might be useful.

I couldn't care less about its protective quality or the realism of the situation

LEarn the difference between chain mail, scale mail, and plate mail. It could save your life.

holy shit my dick

None of these images have chainmail bikinis. I feel cheated.

BOOB PLATE

Perfectly functional
You can't cut trough plate.

Not really.
You are starting with an assumption hat every piece of armor is magical - we know it's not.
You're also abandoning common sense - a proper armor offers PHYSICAL protecion and can be enchanted o provide MAGICAL as well. A chainmail bikini can only provide magical defense (in the sense that the source of protection is magical, and thus can be removed by magic).
How would that bikini fare against a dispell spell? Or a magical sword hat ignores magical barriers?

You seem o forge that primitive cultures hat fought naked were all anihilated by those that used armor.

British empire conquered countries which were still using armor with troops that had none.

The difference here being >>>/k/.

...

B-but user! Less armor means superior speed!

That is why you fight naked with red paint all over your body.

trips confirm.

...

Gross.

Reminder

Stealth classes > everything else

It's outliers, but I still agree.

Darklands and it's pretty fucking awesome.

Wow can I have one?

...

Heavy armor is just a meme, only wealthy people managed to afford those full body heavy duty armors you see on movies, back in the middle ages if you saw someone wearing those they probably were nobility.

Now you can extrapolate that logic to fantasy worlds that are often more vicious and warlike than our own, so wealth and resources would be more scarce and then the bikini armor design becomes plausible option.

Even the Elf that has her crotch higher than halfway to the top of her head? That's not hot, that's weird.

Upper class really, or more appropriately gentry. The completely encased heaviest full plate armor is actually a design intended for tournaments.

It goes without saying that glorious gambeson would be underneath.
Maille is actually delicious armor so long as it's properly riveted and not butted, and you have proper padding.

Not to mention it only ever came into existence during the renaissance, when firearms made armour 100% useless.

But games featuring them are a rarity.

"Realism" whiners are dolts in this particular area because they overlook the most fundamental reality with immense suspension of disbelief just to complain about near-naked women in combat.

Women can't go to war, can't fight on-par with a man and certainly can't wear actual full armor because they are women. They don't even have the shoulders capable of armor like user's first pic, and any woman in the last pic would be utterly useless.

Chain-bikinni armor is as realistic as a woman in full armor - let alone a woman being remotely worthwhile in a sword fight, and with a man at that.

You can have your visual preferences, but the minute one of you people start whining about "muh boob armor is unrealistic" needs to deprogram his brain from thinking a woman in ANY armor is "realistic".

They'd need to be some kind of magical or superhuman just to be able to carry a set of armor along a journey. And the stamina required to actually go far in that armor is ridiculous anyway. Most knights did not wear that full-on heavy armor since they could barely run a jaunt before huffing up a lung. That's with men. Women? They better be part orc or dragon or wizard or something because you're going nowhere fast.
Well, you'd probably die quicker since the enemy would find it too bothersome to pry the red-faced sweaty idiot from the tin can she's wearing to rape her. So there's that.

Ya I wish this got popular when japanese PC games became popular in the west. It's like a modern falsei series.

If you wanted realism women wouldnt be on the battlefield wearing armor, because they cant even carry their own shit because they are so weak. Hence thats why its bikini armor, cause its light and they can actually carry it. But women dont belong on a battlefield.

almost all men are stronger than almost all women

Reminder to save the boobplate
orogion.deviantart.com/journal/Save-the-Boob-plate-380891149

Fucking LEL

Plate armor weighs 45 pounds distributed over the whole body. Not very heavy. Accounts from the 16th c. talk about a knight who ran 5 miles every day in plate. Any woman in decent shape should be able to run around with a 45 pound backpack on easily.

And that's male-sized armor. Not even taking into account that "female armor" would be lighter.

I only complain about realism when the game tries to look realistic. Battlefield for example tries to pretend to be realistic but then a bunch of stupid bullshit that makes no sense.

I forgot how high anime and /fit/ made my standards.

Read the obesity statistics first before decreeing what is and what isn't attractive.

Just because most woman are whales now doesn't mean I should see ok looking women as super attractive.

Women aren't meant for battle, but still.

No, that is tourney plate. Full plate WAS for battlefield usage.

Archers were shit and you're not going to hit a weak spot, Robin Hood.

Like?

Niggers in africa used shit. Everything they had was shit.
Also, technological difference much?

You do realize that due to the fact that women have to be able to pass a baby through their hips, that their hip-bones are mechanically weaker, right?

Why do you think all old women suffer so easily from hip injuries? Wearing armor and the heavy strain of marching or riding will only escalate that.

You haven't demonstrated that it makes them incapable of wearing armor properly. Not an argument. Women today do more strenuous activities than wearing armor with no ill effect on their hips. And high-impact exercise increases bone density and durability, it doesn't decrease it (proof: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24460005). Only truly excessive physical strain with no recovery periods will cause permanent bone injuries like you describe.

Reminder that no one is saying "women in armor are just as good as men in armor pretty much". It's just a fact that a woman could wear properly sized armor no problem. You'd need to have a physical disorder to be so weak that you couldn't.

1st and 4th pic are my fetish, for some reason I think girls in plate is incredibly attractive.

user I think you're misreading that second post.

As with any element of design- if you're thinking "god that looks out of place"- then the designer failed.
If the bikini armor doesn't look like it fits, then it just doesn't work for that artstyle/setting or it's not sexy enough to distract from how it makes no sense.

There's probably some RPG where you can change classes freely.
So the meak and mild mage/healer can become your tank or berserker.

I've always wanted to make a Final Fantasy Tactics style game where the generic warriors you hire also have a personality (affecting what they say in battle or during missions) and actually talk in story-missions or can be chatted to outside of missions. Customized units in fire emblem- kinda.

In theory it'd just be some arrays (store dialogue) and flags ("if you've got a meek character in this mission, they say line 204 when the ghosts spawn" "At the start of this quest, Wizards must say line 152")

Those fat bitches who mental gymnastics their way into thinking they're attractive because their massive amounts of energy storage are partially stored around their mammary glands are the worst kind of nonhuman animal there is.
Big tits are amazing, fat tits are disgusting. And there's a clear difference if you compare a natural tittymonster with a fat wench.

The 4th is just maebari I love maebari

I think getting your hip dislocated in the middle of a fight is more than a solid argument over putting women in armor and in battle.

It's not about how strenuous it is, its about the mechanical way the hip functions on women. It's a structural weakness due to the gaping hole necessary to pass a baby skull through. Most if not all heavy armor is designed to rest on the hips; maille and brigandines are worn with belts and the "corset" shape of plate armor is designed to naturally rest on the hips to take the load off the shoulders, to keep your weapon arms from tiring. With the way women's hips work, this design is pure fucking hell on them.

Sure, but what is the primary requirement of a decent soldier? Its hardiness; the ability to keep moving for days or to stay on watch for hours while wearing all the gear one needs.

And strenuous exercises, heavy physical work and poor nutrition causes a woman's monthly cycles to go to hell and once their estrogen production stops their bones will rapidly turn brittle. Up to 20% percent loss in density is not unusual.

Another thing I didn't consider until now, is that the loss in weight from smaller area necessary to cover might not be enough to offset the natural muscular weakness.

Women make shit fighters in all senses. I might have a warrior waifu, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't rather she was off a battlefield. Baby incubators are best left in the kitchen, bare-foot and with a baby in the belly.

Women are much more prone to injury even from doing things that they're technically capable of doing, female athletes are dramatically less durable than male athletes in addition to competing at a lower level.

Sure, a woman could wear and use a full suit of armor, though she'd still be a less effective fighter than a man. However, carrying around that extra weight will take a greater toll on her body over the years than it would on a man's body, and when she suffers an acute injury it'll be more severe.
Female warriors are never realistic unless two conditions are met: the society they're from is utterly desperate (or utterly retarded, though those societies tend not to last) and they're noticeably inferior to male warriors. In modern times the second condition can be loosened a bit for certain roles (women make okay snipers, as the Soviets demonstrated) but the first condition will always apply.

...

I was actually thinking about how to make women viable fighters in a fantasy setting and I had some ideas about it.
Of course, they'd be militant feminist tsundere until dicked hard enough.

...

...

If it's a fantasy setting I wouldn't even worry about it (unless it's meant to be realistic but with very minor tweaks, in which case you probably want to make the fragility of these female fighters clear–make it something the women do for only a few years when they're young and have them switch to an occupation that doesn't destroy their bodies afterward, for instance). There's a long history of just glossing over the biomechanical issues when you want to have women warriors, and that's fine. Your idea of having them rely extensively on their mounts' strength might be helpful for people who have more trouble suspending disbelief. It's at least less blatantly silly than a woman picking up a zweihander and charging a pike formation.

You are dead wrong.
t. Army fag

You fucked up.

Fuck you and your dexfag memes.

I am aware that bows are actually STR+END weapons, but that's not necessary here I feel.

Heavy poundage bows are awesome, yes. But given that they fight at close range, using ambushes and terrain to their advantage there is no need to have the 160+ pound bows that the Mongols used on open terrain on their mounts.

The arrow of a bow loses most(can't remember exact numbers) of its kinetic energy within the first twenty feet. Thus, as long as the rider is close enough the bow is more than enough punch through lighter armor. Against heavy shields or armor, the rope and the deer handle it. Eagles on mountains don't attack the goats directly, for example. They simply push them down the mountain,

So I would make it a cultural thing.
etc

Real bows use a ton of strength. Women typically use a draw weight of 50 lbs. English warbows were tuned to close to a 100lb draw weight. On top of that you're having them mounted, which is a whole different story.

bestcompoundbowsource.com/compound-bow-draw-weight-chart/

If you want women as viable fighters, you want to use guns and traps. Physical strength are just not comparable. Having them mounted is fine, but their role will likely be scouts and containment, not direct combat.

If we're talking a fantasy setting there's plenty of ways you can justify women as fighters. Have a non-dimorphic race, or introduce the concept of divine blessings (maybe a whole order of warrior nuns that got god juice in them), magical or alchemic enhancements, etc.

The important thing is to make it clear they are, first, a rarity in the world, and certainly not the norm, and make NPCs properly re pond to their presence and allow the player to dick them into becoming demure, barefoot and pregnant housewives.

I had been thinking about them putting the bow onto the antlers and then putting their feet onto the bow, so they deadlift the string.

But that's a bit silly. And guns tend to break fantasy settings, better to eschew them. Rather simply have weak bows and poison the arrows or something.

Sorry user, you're adopted.

If you want to go full chain mail bikini, make them servants for a horny god or something along those lines, they you can justify them wearing chain mail bikini or what have so that they get his(or her) blessing.

Nigger, just feed them magic juice to enhance their STR. It doesn't need to be complicated, all you need to do is avoid turning them into feminist dykes.

But that's the whole point; make viable feminist dykes a threat, so that they can actually be crushed in a satisfying manner.

Light bows with explosive arrows could work, but if they've got explosives then a lot changes. Alternatively there's poison to make weaker bows a threat.

It's fiction, you can always just make up a race where the women are physically strong and all that other shit, like nature did with pic related.

That's fantastic imagery. Made me laugh a bit at the absurdity of it. I don't think it'd work though, considering the physical limitations of drawing a bow like that, while mounted in some kind of saddle.

So make some amazon expy that have the blessing of their goddess that gives them enhanced physical abilities. No need to come up with convoluted ways to justify normal women being an actual threat.

This idea was brought on by reading the wise man's fear, where the super special noble savages know kung fu and all the woman are just as good as the men and the mc is a complete idiot among them.

I just got inspired to make a noble savage tribe of feminist who get their hit broken once they piss off an actual military power.

Also, special buttplug saddles.

Please don't do this. There's no way to suspend disbelief when you see some woman curbstomping an orc or being anywhere near a battlefield, let alone the front line. You can kiss that scouting bullshit goodbye too because scouting is also physically straining as fuck and just as dangerous if not more sometimes than battle roles.

If you're mixing women and death in any which way they have to go the poisoner/assassin route or some wizardry bullshit. Pure glass builds.

For something a bit more out of the usual, you could make them a tribe of poisoners/venomancers that tattoo special sacred magical venom into their skin and gives them perception and sneaking bonuses (and naturally some ridiculous level of disease and poison resistance). You can say that the fucked up shit they ingest and inject into their bodies kills the men off and forces the women to kidnap males from other villages or something a la MGQ.

There's your problem.

(nice)
I should reread that series. It was pretty good, though the 2nd was noticeably worse. Any news on the 3rd one? it's been like 999999 years.

Why use a pseudo dildo when you've got a healthy male goat right right nearby?

I was under the impression that he was referring to human females. Once a fantasy race is involved, shit's out the window.

Alternate races of man are still an option, TES did it and nobody complains about that aspect.

If the setting has magic what's stopping you from using it to enhance the females?

...

Nah, but see, women love riding so I liked the idea of incorporating that. It's just a mismash of things they can do while riding surprisingly agile mounts. The point was to turn a weakness(petite and light body unsuitable for melee) into an advantage. So give them highly agile mounts that aren't strong enough to handle heavier riders. Specifically not a muscle problem, but the spine not being able to handle it, thus the deer are still quick.

Well, it's to keep falling off while having your feet up and deadlifting a bowstring. Goats are no good for that.

Dunno if I even care about the series anymore, the mc seems like a cuck who likes a whore. The whole story he's telling is probably hyperbole and lies, too.

First one was kinda ok, until the whore appeared the second time. Should have made the weird hermit girl the love interest instead.

Also,
Where the fuck did the mc's intelligence and schooling disappear when he tried to explain pregnancies? Hell, he's worked as a healer, too.

There is something horrible wrong about her head size and position

In the same hole all the testosterone in the West went to. You might as well give up on Western fantasy altogether, there is no salvaging it, especially since 90% of editors are cunts, and these bitches get to decide what gets published.

At least Tolkein is still alright.

The specialized rider idea might work, but it would make more sense to establish some form of symbiotic bond with the ride instead of a mere rider. See, the agile mount thing still has a lot of issues for gear. Even if they are super light, they need to carry food, water, weapons, ammo, armor, shelter kit, etc.

So consider the following then. Woman tribe make pact with some massive dragon/monster clan and they become sole tribe capable of riding said beasts. The pact was feeding them all their male children/husbands after mating. Thus they become a parody of feminism and its eternal lust for a bigger, better provider and protector (more government).

Because without some magic affinity BS, the same magic would enhance males at the same rate leading to the same disparity.

That's what I'm saying, if you're really hellbent on having female fighters make them rare for one reason or another.

Depends on the enhancement. If the number of individuals were rare and they all became superhuman, even though women would be inferior to their male counterparts they'd still be seen as a viable investment.

Either that or you can go the Claymore route and say that the enhanced men are far too aggressive to effectively control and deploy.

That's good shit right there.

It's been some time since I read it, but that's what I thought as well. The heavy narrative focus on "storytelling" and all that jazz gave me the impression that the story within a story that he's telling was pure bullshit. It was either that, or he's a massive Mary Sue, and I'd rather that not be the case.

Also, everyone demanding that your idea is only viable via magic/gods is a fucking retard who is missing the point. He's trying to brainstorm theoretically possible ways that women can be warriors, in a (seemingly) low-fantasy setting.

Also the whole "us gypsies are a good and misunderstood people" aspect, especially when he tells how he killed some "fake" gypsies who had been actually robbers.

Also, 8ch is the best place to brainstorm ideas because everyone is always 100% contrarian so you have to think shit through.

Here's your answer, they never could be. Not unless you want to give enemies STDs by sending an army of whores with fantasy AIDS.

The only people that say that are Burgers that have never interacted with gypsies.

You could take it one step further and state that the beasts alloted to the women vary in size and power according to the quality and quantity of the sacrifices that the woman in question presented to the beast tribe. Thus, the biggest honcho of the tribe is in fact some kind of turboslut. The initiation rite of their tribe is finding the first male to feed to the beasts.

Demonstrably false, both in real life with historic examples, and most certainly in fantasy. Even his proposed goat-rider idea is very plausible.

How about you stop larping like a stupid child so you can join us in the adult discussion? Nobody here is even remotely saying women should be warriors, or can do it as well as men. But they can be, and that's what we're trying to brainstorm with full understanding of their physical limitations, so there's no need to try so hard.

You could have just told me you're an idiot.

The idea was sound until here. This is too far removed from the mocking feminism parody. Most hyper-militant feminazis aren't slutty in the least, and want to actively kill men. We've got one portion of that, but tying their increased powers/mounts to further sexual activity with men outside of whatever strictly necessary to obtain a dragon (even if it always ends up killing the dudes) breaks the parable down a bit. I think the original proposition was fine enough as is.

...

Well frankly you've got your fat violent dykes on one end and your turbosluts on the other. Turbosluts are prevalent in feminist circles because they help rationalize their inability to maintain a longterm relationship, their many abortions, sexual escapades, and all other forms of Slaneesh-tier shenanigans. Fat violent dykes are just salty because of their entitlement issues, which feminism also reinforces. In formal terms, these are sex-positive and sex-negative feminists much like the forces of chaos, they can never agree on anything.

You could pitch rival gangs of riders that assume both stances. One raids villages and gets the men (quantity, sex negative) and the other are highly specialized in acquiring only the highest-caliber mates often by means of charisma and deception (quality, sex-positive).

Lmao at the mental gymnastic that goes on in this thread. Even if it's labeled a "fantasy" there is such a thing as suspension of disbelief. I don't care how many words in the thesaurus you find, as soon as I see a female being just as capable as a man or even better when it comes to terms of physical and mental combat, that's when it shatters.

Oh shit scratch that village raiding, make that having men farms vs. men hunts. That way it's gatherers vs hunters. Still a quality/quantity thing and you can model the behaviour of the subgroups accordingly.

I mean, farmers vs. hunters.

Nanomachines, son?

i for one enjoy the fantasy of women that are strong and useful and not just complete fucking leeches on society

I remember now of RS having a breast plate converter smith.

Tell me more.

MGTOW is two boards down.

We do timed ruck marches with the ruck filled with somewhere around 50lbs or more depending on the unit. The distance varies but usually 10k is the minimum. For every one female that can keep the same pace as average males there are 9 who can't. On top of that they usually get away with having a lighter ruck than expected and always finishes, (implying that they do in the first place), with very little time left remaining.

Fuck me, you faggots made me realize an entirely new fetish I never even knew I had.
I hate you people.
Give me more fucking girls in armor.

...

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about armor in this thread and "muh speed"-arguments.
Armor is fucking amazing. Even when worn by women who most likely can't fight for shit, a full plate harness will give even specialized anti-armor weaponry a really hard time. Now I know you can't accurately portray armor in videogames because it would be too overpowered and the gameplay would be less fun but really, armor is arguably more aesthethically pleasing than a slutty chain bikini.

...

Better hope it's not raining when you plan to do that :^)

Not enough games have Sallets tbh.
