One Shots: Good for the gander
The idea of skimpy armor in a fantasy-based game certainly isn't anything new. Toss a cat, and you're likely to hit a game that offers players ridiculously tiny plate armor. Still, while it is often a contentious issue to some, today's One Shots contributor misterorff tries to offer some levity on the topic by noting how the tables are turned in RIFT. According to his note and screenshot, men are made to wear skimpy-ish armor too. Oh noes! He writes in:
"Another RIFT screen... I know, I know, RIFT overload! I just wanted to point out that instead of objectifying females in RIFT, they objectify us men! This is 'plate' armor -- that does NOTHING to protect my heart. One quick stab and my tank is dead! I'm THIS CLOSE to losing a nipple!"
Whether your character looks like a well-armored armadillo or a woad-covered extra from Braveheart, we love to see MMO screenshots from all manner of people. If you'd like to show off what your character is wearing this season, then email your image to us here at oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here and give you the credit for sending it in.
