So apparently Viking warriors also wear HEELS now?

Oh please, this has several advantages
1. higher reach in combat
2. protection against ground effects, like poison or burning ground (less contact=less issue, also more space between effect and feet)
3. does not get stuck mud, it is easier to pull sword from mud than pillow.
4. can be used in combat to hit in armor gaps, eyes, hole in visor
5. has higher power and penetration in kicks
6. makes you look more threatening to animals, giving them fear debuff
7. gives you better prices at vendors, for they do charisma check which is just like in real life based purely on your height.

Many of the spikes, blades and other "ornaments" for armor and weapon designs are not useful in battle either, most of them are also dangerous for the user of said weapons and armor ... but yes, it's cool and I like it.

More armors with spikes, extra blades, bikini shape and HEELS please!

Its about as "ridiculous" as codpieces on armour lol

Oh BTW i just checked how they look in game, they arent heels, theyre just typical boots with the very typical heel youd see on regular boots.

Soo yeah just concept art.

Those aren't heels, they're tiny walking sticks. You wouldn't rob an old woman of her walking sticks now, would you?

The day I get Bayonetta style MTX to use on my characters will be a good day.

Call it intimidation; "I'm going to kill you AND do it while wearing heels."

Sassy as you like.

*Marauder hair flick*

hurling a giant frosty ball around , and setting all on fire etc, spitting poison and HIGH HEELS are your problem ?

You really show, why people hate this feminism and diversity discussions.

They are so baseless 99% of the time.

Ask people in India about feminism, or asia per se
or ask in Iran, Afghanistan etc

THIS is not a "sexualisation", but a PHANTASY Game.

You are , though, ok, with an assasin wearing nothing but a strip ofer his upper body.

Tha<ts quite hypocrite.

It really is dumb to have high heels as part of a combat/armor outfit.

It just serves to remind me that games are made to cater to a young male audience which I am no longer part of.

I prefer a bit of realism in my games. Not expecting a game like this to have "realism" but stuff like skimpy bikini armor with high heels sticks out like a sore thumb, like they think I'm some 15 year old staring at the pixels with a stiffy. And that is what reminds me that maybe I'm too old to be playing games anymore lol.

It's also completely unnecessary because the internet is full of porn(games).

Did You Know Men Were the First to Wear High-heel Shoes?

High-heeled shoes were first worn by Persian soldiers in 10th century to elevate their feet, giving them stability while shooting their bows and arrows. Since then, men heels symbolise high social stature, military power and fashionable taste


i guess people actually did wear high heels in combat
