Hmm, I think they were pretty real in Law Abiding Citizen...maybe I should go check that scene again.

Don't worry, his cod piece will protect his arms

None of us have lived in the past, none of us know if medival warfare consisted of men chopping off their genitals. It could be true! It's why the Black Knight in Monty Python refused to give up, he didn't lose his genitals yet!

I also support the bare-chested, cod piece-wearing companion agenda. Seriously, make it happen.

They all got too smart for fiction and realized that armor was ultimately useless because they'd either get plot armor and not be able to be killed by a knife through the heart, or get killed off by the plot and have no say in it anyway.

The characters in Dragon Age are like... 80 percent CG!

But since you asked: the abs are real. The images on the left are pre-CGI and the ones are the right are movie shots.

This thread is starting to become highly distracting!

Gerard butler got in some serious shape for 300.

[Onyx Jaguar]

I know he bought his ticket into endless romantic comedies with dem abs

[hexaligned]

Offtopic: but I just now realized he was the phantom in the movie version of Phantom of the Opera, strange that it never clicked before seeing as the girl makes me sit through it at least twice a year, and I've seen 300 about 300 times.

It's painted on. I can get you a date with Jennifer Aniston if you pay for a few tan cans of spraypaint and promise to bring me back some dinner rolls.

& death is for the unprepared. Armor gives you survivability it is just plain ludicrous that your companions wouldn't wear armor. The 300 Spartans wore bronze breastplates & bronze helms, & leather peripheral armor. Armor stops you from taking a sword in the gut. Plot armor is for pansies. Real men wear plate.

[Onyx Jaguar]

Maybe the gravity and physics are different and that would negate the usefulness of armor

Armour that doesn't protect your gut.. well won't be protecting your gut. Look at Leonidas there. Yes, it's fictional so the rules are bent a little bit. Also, have you ever worn plate? That stuff is really hard to move around in and takes forever to put on and take off. Most men wore chainmail, much more practical.

The companions do wear armour in the game, it just might not be your idea of realistic armour, however. But that's the beauty of a fictional setting isn't it.

Yes I have worn plate (it's not called plate mail that is an inaccuracy) & I have worn 4-1 mail. Plate armor feels like very light weight sports gear. It does take a minute to put on but after that it isn't an issue. Mail on the other hand weighs on the shoulders heavily & when in battle shift it's weight & throws you of balance if you aren't trained. Mail was worn not because it was preferable but because it was cheap & an unskilled laborer could make it instead of a trained smith. I think you have been reading too much Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

Thankfully, none of the companions are real men, and only half of them are likely to be artificial men.

So, you can walk around the office in plate armor, and we can play a game with a half-naked spartan.

What makes you think I don't already do?

Well, admittedly I did watch Robin Hood recently and everyone was wearing chainmail. I don't think platemail came until later on and I imagine the original materials weren't very light or comfortable at all. Chain is heavy but it's flexible and can be worn easily with leather or cloth.

I'll take half-naked Spartans over plate though.

Now I'm reminded of the back cover of a Terry Prattchet book. I think it was men-at-arms.

Plate armor has been around since before Christ, but steel plate was around in the 13th Century which is arguably where Dragon Age's timeline is. The movie spartans aren't wearing any armor, if they got hit they wouldn't have anything to save them & they would all get gang-green & die. & yes steel plate is light & comfortable enough on a battlefield.

Plus the soil makeup and alternate physics of Dragon Age would make most armors just another sheet of paper, they help but not as much since the swords and armor would be less effective than Earth Counterparts
