it's the curves that got to you))) I didn't say they were unattractive, quite the opposite. They're alluring)))

Besides, I was talking about the genre of literature, games, and movies that have nothing to do with real life.

Why are you focusing on specific cases, Revan? If we're talking about the impracticality of male attire, it's usually an overabundance of armor, not a lack of it.

But the legionary is doing fine. Legs and arms are not vital organs. In the conditions of Italy, perhaps, ease of movement is more important: your hands and feet will sweat in armor, you'll get blisters => you won't be able to strike before the enemy does, and then you're definitely done for. Besides, there's a shield that covers almost everything.

Okay, let’s look at it not from the point of view of practicality, but from the point of view of logic. Is such an outfit logical for this character?

No. It corresponds to the image of this character. Approximately the same as armored bras correspond to the image of elves, for the reason indicated by Loken in the Skype chat: 3

Not the easiest version of Roman armor. Nevertheless, part of the elbows, as well as the legs, are open.

He has a shield, which successfully covers all of this, and a spear, thanks to which he can keep the enemy at a distance. And notice that his chest is still covered.
As an alternative explanation, his legs are open because injuries there are not fatal, he covers one arm with a shield, but he must be able to work well with the other. And his chest is always completely covered. In absolutely any case.

The cop was faster

No. He fits the image of this character.

In the books, Conan isn't half-naked.

In the Conan books, he isn't half-naked.

I didn't know that! Even so, he fits the commercial image of the character. Just like the breastplates, actually.

It's roughly the same as how bralets suit the image of elves, for the reason mentioned by Loken in the Skype chat: 3

True elf girls aren't slutty, no! or what he was talking about

Bralets are for admiring elves.
Armored underwear is for admiring Conan.
It's obvious.

Okay, I understand your point of view. On the other hand, there are still many nuances to consider.
For example, I don't quite understand how exposing the previously mentioned curves can make a character or image more popular. How does a naked Conan become more profitable than a clothed Conan?
When it comes to female characters, for me, the most important part is the face. But at the same time, clothing and other elements add individuality and create an overall picture of the character.
We can recall the winner in one of the contests in "4". I already said that, in my opinion, this is the most beautiful female armor I have ever seen. And how could you achieve profit if some parts of the body were exposed here as well?
What I mean is: whether it's practical or not, "decent" or not – none of this seems to matter much.
However, I will note another point. The cop never answered what he considers decent clothing for a character, and what he doesn’t. If we take the discussed picture as an example, then it would be somewhat inappropriate to appear like this in the city, yes. But if you live in the forest, what difference does it make? Moreover, I can assume that elves living in the forest do not wear underwear at all. But should we now say that they are indecent, and that all elf girls are whores, as Locken says?

By what miracle, for example, is a naked Conan more profitable than a clothed Conan?

Ask Kosha which Luke she would prefer to see - half-naked or clothed (:

One could recall the winner of one of the contests in "4". I have already said that, in my opinion, it is the most beautiful female armor I have ever seen. And by what God-given way could profit be achieved if some body parts were exposed here as well?

Simply there was nothing better our audience is too decent.

There simply wasn't anything better

What a miracle, for example, that a naked Conan turns out to be more profitable than a dressed Conan?

Well, how else? Noble maidens go to see brutal barbarians, but how will they know how brutal they are if they don't see their abs and muscles?

And nowadays, people go to cinemas just to watch elves or simply beautiful half-naked girls and get that kind of fanservice, to get excited.

6:48 PM Leang: >Ask Koshi which Luke she would prefer to see – half-naked or dressed. (
7:04 PM Dragoncat: I barely managed to avoid being vulgar.
7:04 PM Leang: But seriously
7:05 PM Dragoncat: Seriously, it doesn't matter.

The officer never actually explained what he considers to be appropriate attire for a character, and what isn't. If we take the image being discussed as an example, it wouldn't be entirely appropriate to appear in a city dressed like that, yes. But if you live in the forest, what difference does it make?

For you, the forest is a place where you can walk around however you like, and no one will see you anyway. But they actually live there, in entire cities. And she didn't just pick up the weapon for no reason; it's clearly for combat. And what, should she fight in a swimsuit (because that outfit, out of all the ones I know, most resembles a swimsuit)?

Swimsuit, armored bra, any other versions?

The breastplate is in Frida’s inventory in Heroes of Might and Magic V, but there’s no armor here.
