Title: Viking Conquest (Brytenwalda DLC) Armor
Post by: Dionysus on January 29, 2016, 08:04:27 am
Thanks again for the support on this (http://forum.melee.org/suggestions-corner/open-source-vikingr-armor!/) thread. I was wondering what you folks thought about the Viking Conquest armor. Here are some screencaps of the nicest ones I saw.
I'm pretty on-the-fence about them. On the one hand, I think they're some pretty fancy-looking armors, but on the other hand, the longer you look at them, the worse they somehow get. Am I just seeing things? Or do you agree? Part of it could be the image compression, but then there were some odd effects that kept ruining my pictures. For example, the bear and the wolf pelt both shine like metal armor in the light (blindingly so; I had to take the wolf pelt picture in the shade just to be able to see it).

They're not bad, but they could all definitely use improvements. For instance they make it painfully obvious that the forearms are octagonal as opposed to (roughly) cylindrical. And the blinding glare issue too, of course. Also are the character models larger in that mod, or are all these armors pumped up to make it look like the user benches 500lbs without even breaking a sweat?

Already have many other chainmail.

They certainly look like they have broader shoulders, but I think they look kind of stacked up because they make it look like they're wearing their gambeson and the chainmail.
If anything, though, the two helmets look pretty cool. Since we have all these fancy late medieval armors, it might be nice to get a gold-trimmed Gjermundbu helmet. 8-)

They look badass. It's like more variations of the current kuyak hero armors

some of the armors in that game are fantastic!
...that being said...
poor VC, that game flopped so hard, i really wanted to enjoy it, but between the frame rate issues, buggy combat, etc etc,,,i just couldnt keep playing it.
and the new expansion has some odd ideas...i like my companions to keep me company...not to run off, form their own company and attack mine!

They need to add the Sutton Hoo helmet in particular.
