Sexy and form fitting armors

Real female warriors would of worn the exact same armor as the males, proper armor is never "sexy" its flat out practical. If we are being realistic here to then it goes without saying that back when the world was ruled by might alone female warriors were very rarely a thing being the exception rather then a norm.

To have competed in a world of men back then you would of had to have had just as much or more strength stamina and combat experience. Women rarely came with all 3 of those traits back then.

Movies and series are far from using realistic armors.

They usually utilize those low middle-ages - late middle ages low incomes Knight armors types
But some armors from rich knights/princes/kings were much different:








Those where actually Men armors.

Some Look way more "feminine"(body shape of the armor I mean) than you would think!

However "boobs plate" never existed and also Almost no women could be knights or allowed to wear armors anyway (european Middle age society was "based" on the bible and in this book women are forbidden to dress like men or use men s clothings).

There was few exceptions like Jeanne d arc
Joan of arc armor like she is represented by 15th century artists:




It is more likely the only "feminine" part of the armor a woman would use is a dress instead of armored legs(or would wear a long dress on top of the armored legs) since pants were reserved to men only.

Note that there is no known surviving portrait of Jeanne d arc so all we have are minimum 100 years after her death paintings of her.







However....








THis kind of argument about the real form of an armor go to trash when you can have armors in POE looking like death oath/Briskwrap/Hyrri's Ire protecting nothing and showing a big part of the body.

I still maintain that an "invisible" MTX would be the way to go. Lets you have sexy, good-looking characters without ruining PoE's aesthetic. In fact, I would argue it helps preserve the aesthetic, by letting you run around with your character looking like your character is supposed to look. And if you want to mix-and-match the sexy somehow (like, say, having a Witch running around with Crypt Armor and Bones of Ullr but no gloves because PoE doesn't have bone-looking gloves yet, or an Armor Scion with only greaves and bracers to show off her assets while still looking like she might have some armor) then you can.
