This is pretty good as fantasy armor goes.

An A-Team RPG would be pretty damn awesome. Especially a tabletop one.Atlantico, your avatar reminds me of Templeton Peck of the A-Team! Cool. If only there was an A-Team RPG.... well Jagged Alliance I guess and Silentstorm might do.... customized characters or the A-TEAM MOD? Does it exist? Air Wolf Mod? Knight Rider mod?
Looks like the armor on the Origins box, the one they never included in game. The close helm is cool, breastplate is shit.This is pretty good as fantasy armor goes.
I don't see anything wrong with it. The breastplate has weird aesthetics but it would be functional. Most artists draw corselets as shirts so that the wearer wouldn't be able to bend at the waist. This artist correctly drew it ending at the waist. Aesthetically I'd change some details but it isn't nearly as bad as most fantasy armor.Looks like the armor on the Origins box, the one they never included in game.

gamers: "I demand my armor be realistic!"
realistic armor:
It looks like part of a breastplate made for a dwarf that's been jury-rigged with straps to the middle of a man's chest. The part that should be resting on the collarbone is sitting on his pectorals, riveted to steel bands that hang from the shoulders. The lower half is a series of lames, but might as well have just been a solid piece of steel because no freedom motion is necessary there. Lastly, it looks like someone welded a spaulder atop the main plate.The breastplate has weird aesthetics but it would be functional.
Minor nitpick here, but you absolutely don't want the breastplate resting on the collarbone or it'll transfer the impact into it. The breastplate is meant to rest on the upper pectorals and the waist and nowhere else, the clavicles get covered by the pauldrons and gorget.It looks like part of a breastplate made for a dwarf that's been jury-rigged with straps to the middle of a man's chest.

All said, better than nothing, but only barely.
Sometimes but not always. Our definitions of "rest" may have been different. It sits on the collarbone. There is always some impact transference, better that there's part of a steel plate in the way, since pauldrons and gorgets were not always worn.Minor nitpick here, but you absolutely don't want the breastplate resting on the collarbone or it'll transfer the impact into it.

Maybe I'm generalising and it varied with design. I think it was a Knyght Errant video that brought up the point, that you'd want to relegate protecting the collarbones to some other piece of plate or mail rather than have any blow anywhere on the breastplate transfer into them, but I just don't remember anymore.Sometimes but not always.

I used to watch him as well back when he still made videos, he might have been talking about how the weight should be distributed, majority at the waist rather than on the shoulders, but I have seen other breastplates in period art that do sit on the pecs as you mentioned, it's just a damned chore to finesse the algorithm past the heaps of modern fantasy armor images to find the actual period portraits.I think it was a Knyght Errant video that brought up the point
That is not dead which can eternal lie,How the fuck are they able to make a videogame ? I expected Bioware to die with Anthem for fuck sake.
It seems DA:Cisquisition, Andromeda and Anthem weren't enough.
I'm already hating this shit.

You have a source on that? Because from the way things look in TOR I very much doubt what you wrote is the case.swtor prints money and is low investment, which is hilarious considering the terrible launch
