Here's some historical examples, the first image doesn't overlap at the front however.

Boi, its a fantasy game, I don't care about historical accuracy in Tamriel unless it's lore related.

All I care about... is style XD

How else am I able to show you what I'm talking about without using historical examples?

I already showed Berahthram again, but damn looking at those illustrations again makes me think how cool wearing a quilted gambeson klappenrock over plate or mail would be.

This shows better what I mean about the loose tops with a belt too. It's just an illusion.

You know at least they have their heads in the right places. Having mail tightly pressed to your waist with a belt or sash redistributes the weight from just your shoulders to shoulders and waist and makes it easier to wear.

Reeeeee

It's a preferred style boi, I'm having to show historical examples because it's underused in fantasy.

Because historical armor is boring to most of us that’s why most fantasy settings don’t follow historically accurate designs

My biggest gripes with fantasy is they cannot seem to create functional good looking armors, my enjoyment is greatly lessened if in my mind I know it's worthless in design for protection.

It's fully possible to make unique fantasy armor, making it look snazzy as fuck, while also making it plausible. Doesn't have to be realistic so long as I can see it WORK.

I dunno about him but I like a mix. Gladiator style (the legionnaire general outfit). Plate, scale, etc can all look dank so long as that it's not all it is. And if it is, the pattern on that shit better be fuckin amazing.

You know what, I'm fully on board with that. Plate is my favorite when it's right before the advent of full plate. In terms of aesthetic, you just can't beat stuff like this.

What the fuck is your preferred kind of design Centurion?

You hate mail, you hate gambeson, you hate plate, you hate lamellar, you hate scale. Is fur the only thing that gets yer dick up?

Every example had various degrees of plate armor, just some of different materials. Alright good some common ground at least. I'd have never let you hear the end of it if you agreed that only fur and leather shit looked good XD

I'm pretty sure he's said before that he just doesn't like plain boring uninspired examples of plate XD His example yesterday was steel armor from Oblivion which is about as standard and as uninspired as it gets.

I must have misunderstood him at the time, I was under the impression Centurion hated any kind of plate armor.

This is why, ironically, after all the shit I talk about Japan, historically they have some of my favorite armors because of this. Their armor is incredibly stylish as well as advanced and practical for its time.

As for fantasy, Witcher to me has the best example of what you're talking about Czar, of any game I've ever played. It's both practical and stylish. I can't think of any bad examples tbh.

When I shit on Samurai and Japanese arms, it's almost always in relation to when they started to go Westernized. Back when their shit was super Asiatic it looked fucking cool as hell.

They're about the best examples, along with the Mongolians, on how to make Lamellar look really really good.
