That's why mods exist. And some games have a setting to hide helmets.
that's stupid. what meta gaming BS. "i want the benefits of wearing a helmet but i want everyone to see me!" just fuck right off with that shit, junior.
Video games are a fantasy and I want my character to look a certain way, fuck me right?
i mean, yeah, but i guess it depends on if you're playing online or in single player mode.
sorry, i'm a D&D purist. i want a fantasy simulator, not your selfish fantasy jerk off.
This guy...
that's some real beta cuck shit to regard my hot take as an authority. you must be pretty submissive.
Thanks for clearly identifying yourself as blockworthy. I was gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, but you just couldn't resist outing yourself could ya?
lol. nobody cares who you block, dipshit. "oh no! some little beta cuck won't see my posts!" /s
Bro games are for fun. If they can't be a selfish fantasy jerk off, what can? That's such a dramatic description. Is "I'm a D&D purist" code for "I can't let people enjoy things."
In a fantasy world, wouldn't it be reasonable for someone to use an invisibility spell on the helmet? Or apply some sort of invisibility serum/option into it?
That sounds very expensive. Perfect invisibility is usually expensive and/or difficult in fantasy settings. Much like in the real world.
These are faulty full body invisible spells, that are heavily discounted, because they work only on the helmet. Because of the difficulty to create a full invisible spell, the majority created are faulty and basically trash, but mages sell them for low price to get back at least the material costs. Low yield.
Now you've got me imagining a budget version of an invisibility potion/spell/item that gives 30% translucency.
Pretty much. If you're sneaking around you usually don't need 100% invisibility. If it's dark, 30%-60% is fine if you're at all sneaky. That's how the "chameleon" spell worked in Oblivion.
