Woah Woah Woah! I never said skimpy armor when i said revealing. Im not a fan of bikini armors too. Seriously how can i upload an image here? The revealing armors i am am asking for are the ones you seein the Drizzt trailer. its like alight black cuirass with exposed skin in the arms and legs. Also the Matriarch robes look amazing.
PS im not asking for skimpy armor, i just wanted to see some of those cool alien like black leathers/metals tight armor/clothing we see in the comics.
Also some drow weapons would be nice!
I know drow weapons are affected by sunlight but doesn't the game take you down to the underdark for awhile? Down there those items would be greatly efficient and it would be immersive to see drow use these items instead of surface ones! Maybe Drow gear gets a buff down in the Underdark and if in the surface , they get a penalty or we get a notice saying they braked down.
He clarified by saying parts like arms and legs being exposed, which actually matches the drow cause their combat style is more dex based and is about unrestricted smooth movements (or in the case of some, uncompared brutality). He even responded to an above image saying the fourth Pandemonica posted is the type of thing he is looking for instead of the third, Chest is armored with unique style and arms and legs only have cloth.
Sometimes it is good to read through replies cause English isn't always the greatest medium to convey a thought the first time and clarification can sometimes be given, I have made the mistake of missing a core reply multiple times so I try to read through everything.
Also even if he was asking for Skimpy armor, there would be some merit to it cause culturally and historically some fighters have had to fight in more showy or skimpy outfits instead of practical ones. This is typically either cause the fighting was for show like in Roman Coliseums, or it was a cultural or tribal thing. And either would match the Drow since they have kidnapped people and forced them to fight in arena's for entertainment and they put a lot of cultural significance on Lolth and her ideals, like how a crime hasn't been committed if there is no witnesses (if I remember correctly), a matriarchal society, and considering the drow to be superior and more beautiful than other races. In lore Drow priestesses would wear more skimpy armor which is more ceremonial and symbolic than anything practical beyond perhaps enchantments on it, while the warriors wore more tight leathers and spidery plates, and their colors with said armor is typically black. So honestly, even if he wanted Bikini Armor in the game, there genuinely would be a place for it because of the variety of cultures and styles in Faerun, in the same vein I'd want to see other armor styles of different places like BG Guard armor being different from Waterdevian Guard Armor, and even Gobbos having different styles based on what they have scraped together and where they are in the Gobbo society.
Edit: Also to be that weird guy, if Women get skimpy armor I also think Men should too in some capacity, equality and again gives a good variety that fleshes out the world and makes each culture more distinct. Like, if each "group" has their own style it'll make the game much more distinctive and reflective of DND. I'd love to, if we ever encounter beings like them, to see Efreeti Armor or even find different armors for devils and such in the higher levels.
