      I’d love a fantasy role playing game that incorporates a robust armor system that allows you to mix together different pieces of accurate medieval armor, like gambeson under chainmail or chainmail under a tunic.

      There's a weird experimental game called Exanima, which currently just has a dungeon crawler mode and an arena fighter mode, but it does this extremely well. Many many layers of armor and they all affect how you are damaged based on the physics of the weapon and how it is swung.

      Downside is that no one moves like a trained fighter, they look like random peasants who are very drunk have been given weapons and armor.

      But it's still interesting.

      coughs in kingdom come deliverance

      some people would probably pillory me for it cause chuds love that game, but its got a good combat and armour system, and the female love interest literally saves the main characters life in the intro section of the game, so it at least tried

          lol.

          stanning a game thats about getting revenge for the murder of a loving family with an adoptive father, where the main character bumbles around and wouldve been dead in the first five days if not for a woman being a badass... to own the libs?

          shits wild.
