@Patchysouls That's wrong because they just slap capes onto whoever they want. Nobody is confusing a Tiandi for a Lawbringer because they gave him a cape.
When it comes to covert clothes I’ve always thought a hood makes you more suspicious to anyone your trying to hide from, a cloak to hide weapons I understand because you might be trying to keep your clothes or armor in good condition but if I was a guard I would be a little bit cautious around someone intentionally hiding their face
This is a very good point that is often overlooked. The most covert option in clothing is what will making you blend in the most with the general populace. Fortunately enough for Peacekeeper, hoods were a fashion item for most of the Medieval Period and even up into the Renaissance period.
I'm surprised you didnt talk more about wearing hoods. Skallagrim has done a great video on how diffficult it is to fight with a hood, namely how much it restricts your senses. But this game is fantasy and like all fantasy, the small rogue like character must wear a hood. Probably spend all of her time brooding in the corner of taverns too
Hey man I’ve seen some other guys do hero ranks based on historical accuracy and how well they would actually do in there era and I feel like you might be able to give a good history lesson on them
I've considered this, but I feel like those videos tend to look at the idea too broadly (which I have nothing against for them to do those videos, it's their channel they can do whatever they want). For example, what are we ranking each off of? Their default armor options? Their fighting style? Their ability on a battlefield? Their ability in a duel? Each one of those things hold different weight and would have different rankings throughout the roster. Sure if I wanted to be really vague I could make a list of who would "generally win in a fight" and act all shocked and surprised when I say Lawbringer at the end, but I don't feel that it is substantive for me or the community. The short answer; I might if I can figure out a version that is actually interesting and brings something new to the table.
@@GoGoDani You know, something I haven’t seen done is comparing the heroes with their equipment being “the best of the best.” When you get through more of these, you could probably go through each faction or the whole roster and compare each one with what you believe to be the best armor they could potentially have.
I think the massive issue is that Ubi just wants to throw mud, rust and spikes onto everything rather than give anything any real character, likely because it's a lot cheaper that way. Thinking about it, it would be better if they went with what I call the 4 Character Tree. You effectively have 4 armor sets with alternate sets that are about different things. In the case of PK, it would work like this Set 1: Civilian Disguise with her face exposed and the alternate being a hood Set 2: Venetian Disguise with masks and again hood Set 3: Infantry armor with helmets like a Sallet along with gambeson and chainmail alternates Set 4: Full infantry protection with great helms, plate harnesses and jack o'plates as alternates
Even with the black armors it wouldn't do what you need. You don't want black you want a multitude of blacks and grays to obscure your outline. Same as if your in the woods. You don't want green or brown you want splotches and the like.
I did Google the ponytail hood thing, and I really wasn't ready! I burst in laugh when I discovered what it is all about, and yeah, for you own sake, do not Google it! 😂
One thing I always like to suggest is giving PK the old Knight minion armor. The helmet is relatively hood shaped so I don’t think it’d interfere with her ornaments that much. Since Ubi’s gonna be reusing assets for the foreseeable future, why don’t they give her a full scale or mail texture on her dress/tunic like they did with Conq?! What infuriates me though, is that the new Horkos armor she got this season is the only one that gives her metal gloves/gauntlets but guess what???? THERE’S FLIPPING GOLD SPIKES ON IT!!!
Fucking spikes. Why do they put them everywhere? Is having a clean metal armor considered not cool these days? I know it's a fantasy setting but ffs not everyone's fantasy contains spikes on wooden armor like orochi ones
Also, I’m pretty sure that the helmets are supposed to go around the entirety of the head. Consider the fact that the hood isn’t intended to go down in the game engine so there was no need to model behind it
Peacekeeper was so fucking cool at launch because even though it was obvious it was an assassin's creed expy she helped give the knights a more sinister feeling. They had an order of religious assassins that would even kill their own people in times of peace to stop them from speaking out or trying to rebel. "Sunday Roast" has to be one of the coolest names for any execution in the entire game. But then the game lost all grit, all flavor and all semblance of worldbuilding and the knights weren't allowed to be christian anymore so we're stuck with animu assassin girl
..the knights are still Christian, the fuck you mean. Warden and BP in patictular are the most religious characters and often have emotions/executions to reflect that... For honor still has the Dark lore/ story telling that they had in the beginning but the fact the devs embrace the meme side of the community as well is just the worst thing possible
I always thought Peacekeeper was a really cool example of a fully armored rogue because I never really looked with any more depth at her armor or helms and I'm going to continue to choose to believe that because it's just a cool concept
Surprisingly, I know a neat trick to keep your hood on while doing some extreme activities like running, parkour, and fighting. You need a Beanie and a Baby Pin. Connect the Beanie under the hood. Then slip in a Baby Pin to keep them together. And voila, a hood that never falls unless actually pulled.
Loved the video, great critique, and analysis As someone who has played PK for years as a main now, a lot of this I agree with lmfao. But on a side note I'd really recommend turning up your audio volume.
bit of a long shot considering how extra they are, but have you considered reviewing the new unique executions? on the topic of peacekeeper i actually very much enjoy the simplicity of it, excusing all the spinning. the throat stab she does for the killing blow really sells it for me. would love to hear your insight on them
I will review the new executions once they release to the live build on the 9th. The video wont come out then, but I will be able to inspect them in game and have a video out shortly.
It would be awesome if PK had Alternate versions of helmets with her hood pulled back to show her whole helmet (similar to Warmonger’s alternate torsos showing with or without capes).
its cool to imagine with the weeping effigy helm its what she would have under her helmet and she simply didnt have enough time or lost her helmet before she could put it on
My personal imagining of the set is to be something covert and not overt. She is there spying on a rogue camp or fortress not in the battlefield but behind the lines. Gathering information while looking like one of the soldiers that is done with the day. Why she doesn't wear a mask or helmet, that's ... on her. Perhaps it is to look more relaxed compared to the sea of soldiers. If you were resting, it would be weird seeing someone resting alongside you keep their helmet on.
I think that the face plates are actually part of a complete helmet, or at least they could be. You showed that the model doesn't actually continue on the inside, and that's true, but I'd say that's more of an oversight from the developers, or maybe they simply didn't want to bother. An example is that female gladiator has a bulge under her underwear, like male gladiator's or highlander. Does that mean that she has a penis? I don't think so. What do you think?
1. Alternate History 2. I think the conversation is more about immersion, how much I can believe this can be real and practical then realism which I think means to be true to what it was. Least that's how I describe those in accordance in video games
@@theatomictitan0a588 lol that's funny because of all the heroes, peacekeeper breaks my immersion the most. PK, warmommy, and fem hitokiri are huge immersion dismantlers for me. Almost forgot shaman.
@@johgon6882 Peacekeeper uses a fighting style focusing on mobility, feints, and tricks to slip past their oponent's defenses based on real dual wielding techniques which GoGoDani addressed in the 2 parts before this. Yeah Warmommy didn't and shouldn't have been gender locked but she's covered in plate armor and she's using Warden's swordfighting techniques which themselves take a bit from Germain Italian techniques For Fem Hito giant cutting axe and just takes her opponent's attacks which is a hell of a trick when you don't give a crap about yourself and can fight through it which people in history have been known to do in the heat of battle and Male Hito does it too so I don't really see a point. Shaman Ubisoft wanted a aggressive savage character which if your opponent has no fighting style while not practical it's a bit harder to predict and cover their blows, which yeah leaves herself open to attack a lot and I feel like the neck bite can be forgiven just a bit since a lot of the hero cast don't wear much for neck protection and making a exception for that would just be shite.
@@theatomictitan0a588 You're not getting my point at all. They are all women on the battlefield and its cringey AF. I get that there is fantasy elements but then why make them all ugly and masculine. At least make them look like women! DARE I say attractive so they are at least appealing on that level.
I wonder if UBI just got a little lazy with the "helmets". I would've assumed they were a full helm and I just think that they wanted to save time by hiding the helm so they don't have to show them.
Funny enough the "lore was thrown out long ago" is funny seeing how there is constantly actually Lore made and PK armor for the most part did/does fit her Lore. She wasn't meant to be someone who gathered information from an different faction because she worked in tone with what would be Police. She would often work with Lawbringers in time of internal conflict... But.. Ya know.. Why actually bother being informed or doing research in correlation to the game when you can complain instead
"Silent blade that keeps the peace" "They can win a fight before their enemy even knows they're there" Yeah bro she definitely is just a police force who keeps the law alongside lawbringers.
@@ajayavsm7476 thank you for pulling one sentence out of it, real effort. Obviously I'm referring to them for there actual duties which as he complained about there armor doesn't match because "infiltration" but that's not really there main or only function. They do survive in times of Peace as (and this is bad I have to reexplain this) Police. There is a lot of in fighting in the knight faction so as lawbringers during times of peace work more as executioners and bringing them to justice, PK would be able to blend in amongst her own people because.. This may shock you, they do actually have money and materials, mask her really expensive ones would've been something worn by high knights, not even wealth but in status of there order (like the Order of wardens)... Again.. Why do actually research in conjunction with the game your talking about when you can moan about it instead.
You always say that helmets with huge slits are bad because they are easily exploitable and yet you also say that helmets without face coverings were developed first because covering your face is less important. There's some flaws in your reasoning.
Helmet's with a face slit large enough for a sword will not just allow the sword to pass, it will literally guide the blade into your skull preventing it from the odd chance of it glancing off and only sheering some skin with it. The analogy I used is like a knife through a fork, once it's in the prongs there's only one way out. It is an actual liability, especially for someone who plan's on getting into "Rapier" duels. In this specific scenario, it would be more advantageous to have either a fully encompassing helm or only one that protects the top of her head. Also, feel free to inspect the chart that I showed and see that the helmets that did evolve to have face protection didn't evolve to have massive gaps through the front of the helmet. Furthermore, I literally recommended two helmets that provide face protection from PK's list of armors that have adequate ventilation while also protecting the face. Feel free to let me know where you are confuse with my reasoning :)
