Armor from Dragon Age 2

As lots of our posts pointed out already, elements of good armor are basically always the same, no matter the wearer’s gender and body parts. 

And this here handy graphic on the left* is no different from any similar we featured before that showed a (presumably) male model wearing plate.

*Though honestly I’m a bit disappointed how painted-on the under-armor looks in the picture on the left. And how because of that I can’t tell if there’s supposed to be some other protective layer (maybe gambeson?) beneath it.

While the armor was a bit thing, I was exceptionally happy with how they took the simple concept of making warrior armor “heavier” by simply adding more protective layers on top of basic armor.

It’s more or less how most heavy armor has worked throughout history and cultures.
