I usually wear helmets, if I can find any that are aesthetically pleasing. I think it's because I collect real life helmets.
Do you put helmets on your characters?

I will remove it when walking around a city, but wear it the moment I go into a dangerous area. That's my preffered thing for games where removing a helmet is eary like ME1, or Olivion. If I have the option for a hat that does not obscure their face too much, I may got for that. For ME2, where it wasn't just one button press to remove it and I had to go back to my ship, then I just left it off when I could.
There are exceptions though - in Guild Wars, my ritualist always wears her headgear because it fits the aestheic of the proffession and how I see her character more than removing it does.

For me it's a trade off on apperance and effectiveness. Some games woefully undervalue the importance of the uppermost extremity. A good hit to the head by pretty much anything bigger than a pointed stick is going to FUCK YOU UP.
Oblivion/Fallout pretty much makes a helmet a waste of your inventory better used for loot.
By comparison, a helment is a necessity in Mount & Blade.

Normally no. I like to see my character's hair, unless we can toggle helmet's visibility like in Dragon age, or when I'm heading to a big battle.
I'm a rpg kind of player so i only use helmets when they're absolutely necessary.
For example on Guild wars, when my character is in towns he is withouth the helmet. When he is on combat or outdoors he ALWAYS wears the helmet.
And i only equip helmets if they look badass...
And the armor of my character looks exactly like this below (even the colour):
I'd say it is pretty badass!!!

Depends on how ugly the characters are, how nice the helmet is, and whether it really raises my stats at all, and how much it obscures the face.
One thing I liked about DA2 was that it took off your helmet in cutscenes and dialogue scenes. That really helped combat the issue. Of course, in games where you practically never have to see your own face, then I just go for it. That doesn't matter at all, in that case.

I agree with this comment.Bara_no_Hime said:
Depends on the game. I do in the more "hardcore" RPGs like Dragon Age (if one can call it that), because the added defense bonus is helpful. Generally I like the no-helmet option, though.
Still, if it's a game I can do without the helmet (usually MMOs), I'll keep it off. I'm sorry, but screw the effectiveness when I have to hide the face I was editing for fifteen minutes on the character creation screen. What's the damn point?

Dr. Who must be stopped. Where is my evil electric eyepatch thingy?binnsyboy said:
Also, yes. I have yet to play a game where the character's head looks better than a helmet.
I actually agree with the OP. I usually don't have my character wear a visible helmet and/or hat unless it A) Looks good, or B) Fits the situation. aka going to war. A serious war, that is, not just a battle session, but something pretty intense that a helmet would be recommended no matter how much of a badass you(re character) is/are.
Usually in RPG's I'll wear a hood because I usually have a stealth character. But other than that I usually don't
NOPE.
Not unless the helmet looks awesome. Yeah, there was no way that I was putting anything over my character's face when I spent so much time trying to get his nose just the right shape. You've got to look the part in these situations. My part is "Baller".

I prefer to have no helmet, but I'm currently a couple of hours into Divinity II, and the stat's are too much to forfeit. I'd like a game where the stat's on different types of armour are more trade-offs than "buy this one, win the game", so I could choose how I want my character to look. You know, like Mario Kart.
