Geralt wearing a CORSET!!?

[MarcAuron]

Regardless the armor is still amazing. In b4 it's not even in the game.
External obliques are rarely developed naturally without focused weight lifting and exercises, and really are not contributing to core stability and mobility , they are just popular due to the recent popularity of MMA events. The idea that a fighter cant be stable without obliques, luckily Geralt doesn't need ground game. So far like the designs.

Geralt were critically hit in sides for 999 hit points. Both of his sides are pulverized by this powerful blow!

The problem is not necessarily that Geralt's abdomen is too thin, but that the padding or development of his upper body is extreme in comparison. The athletes in whom you see that proportion of upper body development are mostly swimmers and water polo players.

It's just out of proportion for anybody who isn't a competitive swimmer or isn't wearing American football pads.

That's a theory thing for me, with who a fictive character can or cant compare is irrelevant for me.
The appeal of it is that He doesn't fit in the profile that everyone is trying to put Him in. In the first game the other witchers look buffer than him, he looks very tall now, as stated that's what I like now.
For the record for me the armor designs of the second game would have been pieces of art-in another game, frankly need to find something that I hated more about the second game than the armors.
So what i voiced is that I like the reduced look, in armor and physically even if the apparently perception of a masculine athlete is a blocky waist, It's not.
He doesn't look like a swimmer to me just like a taller individual with a longer body, and frankly the length of the legs is matching so to me He looks menacingly stable and intimidating without looking like the average brick in the field we see in other games.
I'm alone with this I know

Also, it seems that leather and steel are able to bend and stretch like rubber. This is a super-fantasy. In real life in the tight leather/steel armor like this Geralt would be able only to walk on straight legs with a straight spine as if somebody shoved a stick up his arse. Try to do karate or tae-kwon-do in tight jeans, and you'll understand my point.

Suspension of disbelief is everything, though - and his thinner legs and lithe abdomen take a lot of that away for me, because it's not a character I believe can deal the damage he did in the other games.
And I thought he always looked tall in 2, tho - 1, not so much.
I do understand liking a leaner and meaner look, though - in this case I just entirely't agree, even though I concur he should not look like an MMA fighter.

I loved the armour in 2 - mostly because I work with graphics myself, and I loved the amount of detail they'd put into them - and that they put their research to good use. As for the skintight armour in the demo - I think that was a skin, and that we'll probably see different armour in what's being shipped.
Besides, he was fully clothed ;-)

So my idea of a Geralt build is to model him after the character named "The Hound" in the HBO series "Game of Thrones"

This character is bada$$, over six feet tall, build like a swords man should be built, when he walks into a room, men wet their leathers, women swoon, old men and women give a knowing smile and children hide under the tables! But with a moral compass and no face burn />/>/>

This seasons last show had him in action defending Arya, we got a real good look at him in action (most resent action anyway).

I blame Letho.

These fabrics are very different weaved, both warp and weft are interwoven to the opposite results in final weave. The mesh point was conceived by its elasticity, the flat spot for consistency stout.



This one made by someone who never lived in a culture of chainmail clothing. What could have made a experimented blacksmith in Geralt's world where chainmail clothing were widely used?

@up That's looks nothing like what is Geralt wearing in the trailer and you know it.
His armor is latex tier tight like suits in mass effect games.

No, I'm not a CDPR creative dev, just a simple observer with limited knowledge who does not dare to mocked thier work. And the modelof my Picture has a not athelic shape (seems he likes Beer )and he is not a blacjsmith and he never do before a chaimail clothe so, you're rigth, it harder looks like CDPR creation.

Constructive criticism isn't mocking, everyone likes Geralt and wants him to look his best. Right now he looks like Slenderman's distant cousin.

I agree, and some "pseudofun" images are mocking. I hope CDPR has force enough to keep their personal taste, as always they did. OK about little corrections, but I don't think that this conception of Geralt look deserve this whole making fun thread.

Cannot you see this sexy shape of this model under the chianmail?

Really? then I only answered this post:

Maybe you'd mean that my post has nothing to do with vivaxardas opinion....


And mesh is a type of fabric which more cling to the skin...

I am afraid it's not how it works Wichat.

Hey, I came late to the party!
I just think everyone who logged in to give feedback on the current Geralt figure figured they'd post in this thread, as it addressed the same concern. And c'mon, it's not as if it's BSN - we're on page 14/15 and we're still civil and constructive. With funny detours!
I'm also pretty convinced CDPR will stick to their graphical guns if needed - they've not let us down before.
I remember an interview they did about W2, and which and what feedback they'd taken with them into the game. No reason to think they won't listen to people, yet.

Also, isn't that gambeson a little too thin under that haubergeon? Or is that the sexy shape you were talking about ;-)

He is not an EXPERIMENTED BLACKSMITH! Could you see the difference?

 

[Sirnaq]

Those are professional chainmails.

See how belt curving the chainmail? They were not nearly as tight as latex suit. Not to mention you need to wear special cloth beneath them.

Funny is great. I usualy kidding too.

But all I say is how much of us know which study and parameters CDPR's devs based this design? How can anyone say that they wrong or unrealistic (we are talking about CDPR creators of TW's series)?

One think if one dislike the new style, but there's any deformation in Geralt's body. Optical effects by camera angle?, wierd armor?, unexpecte style?.. SURE! Anatomical errors? NO.

Or you're telling that suddelnly CDPR've forgotten how Geralt's body is? THAT sounds nosense

 

[Aliastasia]

Simaq - it's called a gambeson, the special (thick or padded) clothes you wear under chainmail (maille).
