You're wrong, boob plate was never used because the shape would deflect blows into the center of the chest where the armour was weaker due to the shape. If that didn't happen the blow would deflect upwards into the neck/bottom of the helmet, which wasn't as well protected.ecoho said:
You can google it if you want. Actual smiths will make boobplates if people want it, but they don't recommend it due to how dangerous it is to wear one if you're going to be doing any form of combat in it.
I really don't mind how long it will be till another fable game. If we are about to get another fable game at all that is good news to my ears. Unabashed fan here, and I must say I QUITE liked that trailer 
Correction YOU have not seen the details they HAVE released. Namely an IGN video that detailed the type of gameplay in the early press screening and stuff.lucky_sharm said:
Ask where I get my information from before you tell me to reserve judgement because there is no information. Especially with a Lionhead studio title that basically guarantees underwhelming sensations and lackluster realization of unique ideas because sadly Lionhead studios is convinced gamers are all morons and want maximum reward for minimal engagment.
A D&D style COOP RPG? AWESOME!
Oh it's a mission based structure, without an open world, without character creation but rather these 4 bland doofuses. Skip!

I never said "boobplate" existed I said most armors were designed to the shape of the warriors chest, as women were not allowed to fight while plate armor was being used "boobplate" never existed. Also fable takes place in several timelines not just the industrial age, in fact this looks to be in between the first two games in time period which means no guns.Dogstile said:
As to the plate skirts yes they usually had greaves on their lower legs but thighs were very rarely covered due to the loss of mobility. That's what the shield was for
Pff, yeah fuckin' right! The previous Fable games haven't lasted me more than maybe 20 hours. Considering they haven't made it to a single day of playtime, jumping to years seems a bit ambitious.
And here I was lamenting that I'd be missing out on future games of my beloved Fable series by not buying an XB1. More fool me apparently ¬_¬
Multiplayer? No thank you. Sounds about as appealing as that Kinect atrocity.
Great. Now I has a sad :'(

aw man dont get me started on tony jay. He played my favorite villain ever in reboot. MEGABYTESomebloke said:The voice is very pleasant, that was my first reaction too.chaos order said:
I was going to wager a guess at Tony Jay (EDIT: ...who did the narrator in the Bard's Tale "reimagining"), but apparently he passed away some years ago.
I'm just loving watching people who aren't interested in this game jump on a person who's also not interested because they feel that his/her reason isn't good enough to not like it.
I agree. "Feminized" platemail (that is, meant to look like a woman's outfit) is dumb enough for me to not want to be involved unless the armor dress has a truly inspired look. I'm hard pressed to actually think of a game that does this, however.
So yeah, boobplate = no thanks.

It looks interesting, and the coop being more than "Glorious hero/Dastardly villain and Other guy" is nice (even though I'd be playing it single player if there is the option), but they want a 5-10 year life span? I know you're supposed to aim high, but you have to build a rocket before you can reach the stars. I don't think this game is enough of a "rocket" to last that long. Its been pointed out before a few times, but that 5-10 year lifespan probably will end up being 6 months of "OOH Fable" followed by a couple years of DLC. That and I seriously doubt im going to be getting an Xbox one
No armour is designed to deflect blows to the away, reducing the impact. All boobplate does is guide your enemy's strikes toward your heart, the only way it would be helpful is if you could convince the enemy to wear it. Not to mention it would take more metal and crafting time to add on two cups to the armour.

Wait, there's a new Fable book? I only knew about the first two. I definitely have to get this when I have the chance.soren7550 said:
It seen rather unfair that if you want to be the villain, you will be the mastermind while playing the hero, you can co op with other heroes. Why not have both feature on any side you picked (a villain teaming up with other villain to cause more havok or being a hero commanding others)?
I Did look at the spoiler but as you said you put a spoiler tag up so it was my choice to see the information.soren7550 said:
Right, except that you posted that "armor was always made to shape the warriors chest" in response to comments about the boobplate. In other words, by you arguing against people saying its ridiculous and using that specific argument, you are inferring that you think boobplate was a thing.ecoho said:Maiev Shadowsong said:I never said "boobplate" existed I said most armors were designed to the shape of the warriors chest, as women were not allowed to fight while plate armor was being used "boobplate" never existed.

This is something that isn't true.

Now warriors did wear skirts if they could afford it. Mobile and effective. They would however wear armour under it. The fighting in a skirt without leg armour, or only grieves is a very greek/egyptian/roman thing. English soldiers wore padded armour at the very least, it helped fend off the cold and provided more protection than a mail skirt would do.
Since this game is made by a UK company and the inhabitants all seem very English, i'd say that the padded armour thing is plausible.
the photo you linked was articulated plate which was designed for ease of movement but wasn't used in England till after gunpowder was invented. You are right however they did usually have padded armor on the legs not just greaves and that was a misspeak on my part for when I said the thighs were left uncovered I was referring to them being covered in plate.Dogstile said:Right, except that you posted that "armor was always made to shape the warriors chest" in response to comments about the boobplate.

Now while "boobplate" was not a thing (and I stated that It was not) there are many different examples of plate armor that not only matched the chest of the warrior that wore it but in some cases showed the warriors chest as perfect or pristine. Yes this is most prevalent in the greeks but was found in the armor of the romans and early British knights(though as you might expect the excessive details were discarded due to the time it took to make them.) this type of armor was used by most knights well through the gothic age, till about the middle renaissance when gun powder was invented and plate armor was pretty much becoming obsolete in favor of just thick breastplates.
