There really have been certain times when a new weapon appeared that could reliably defeat even the highest practical level of armor, leading to decreased reliance on armor for protection until some improved version was invented. The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort is a reason that heroes or the "cool" characters are often less armored than the common rabble they're either confident enough in their skill to not get hit in the first place, or else so superhumanly tough that armor would be superfluous.Īs illustrated by various examples in the Real Life section, the balance of power between weapons and armor has fluctuated throughout history. That would do a lot to explain why hidden Bulletproof Vests usually work. From a more meta perspective, Unspoken Plan Guarantee may also be connected: the armor represents a plan to be invulnerable, which, once presented to the audience, has to fail or it'd be boringly predictable. You can even be led astray by genuine historical documents or artworks if you look at them without understanding their context, such as religious/mythical subject matter or the possibility of artistic license.Ī potential handwave is that quality armor (such as the plate suit that stamps someone as "medieval warrior" on sight) should be quite expensive mooks might be issued cheap protection that only looks like quality armor. There are a lot of popular myths and misconceptions about historical armor, and it's pretty common for creators to be inspired by previous works of fiction which had these errors in them, rather than doing historical research. The creator is simply ignorant or misinformed about how armor works.They could have Super-Strength, Charles Atlas Superpower, or be some nonhuman creature like an ogre, an alien, etc. It may be justified if the attacking character is much, much stronger than the defending character's armor was designed to handle.Sometimes combined with Made of Plasticine. A creator may want to make battles look as violent and gory as possible, so making the armor useless provides more opportunities for bleeding and dismemberment.In a video game, you can avoid the bother of additional fight animations or complicated physics/damage modeling if just hitting any part of the enemy can kill them. The repertoire of Flynning is largely based on unarmored fighting, and it's easier for the actors if they don't have to learn a whole different set of moves for defeating armor. Creators making a historical or fantasy work include armor for the sake of aesthetics, but don’t want the bother of factoring it into combat.Such dehumanized extras make excellent Red Shirts and Mooks, with the bonus that an entire army can be portrayed by a half dozen or so stuntmen. It is often the case that in movies, games, and other visual media, armor and especially helmets are not really there to protect characters, but to render them faceless and anonymous.There are a couple of reasons that this trope may appear: In the latter case, it leaves one wondering why they bothered with it in the first place, if they can survive attacks that completely demolish their armor anyway. Indeed, it often happens that people who wear armor find themselves far more capable after they either discard it or have it destroyed for them by the nice people out to kill them. All arrows are armor-piercing and will penetrate even thick armor as if it were just a sheet of paper.
PRIVATEEYES HEAVY ARMORY FULL
A single swing of a sword is enough to kill an opponent wearing full plate armor.
Characters who wear no armor to speak of are no more (and often less) at risk of injury or death than somebody who is "protected". I heard it's because my FPS is going above 60, so I turned off my FPS Eternal mod, and it's still happening.In fiction, or at least a large portion of it, armor has virtually no protective qualities. I'm getting this weird glitch, first near water in Windhelm, now near water in Whiterun, that causes me to swim despite being on land.
