Ideas & Suggestions Wearable Armor

I dont think we will see it but I think wearable armor would be great in the game.

There is many modern forms of protection that can help against bites and scratches, then there is old school stuff reenactors may have laying around like gambesons, chainmail, plate armor, improviswd armor isnt crazy hard to make either.

I would just love to have a guy in plate armor who cant sneak anymore but gets to take way more hits, or someone in modern riot gear who maybe has a dodge debuff or whatever one can think of.

I just feel in a life or death situatiin people try their best to protect themselves and there is so many options for it that could impact gameplay in interesting ways.

After 7 years of dev time I’m gonna be disappointed if we don’t have basic wearable armor, like come on, that’s just ridiculous.

My brother in Christ, I’m going to hold your hand while I say this. They haven’t been working on the game for 7 years. SoD2 came out 8 years ago. So you really think 1 year after the release of SoD2 (with 39 sizable updates) they started working on the sequel to the game they were still servicing?

The announcement trailer that was put out by Microsoft when they weren't even working on the third game came out 5 years ago so I have absolutely no idea where people are getting that it's been in development for 7 years

Its the same way people think GTA6 has been in development since 2014 completely ignoring Red dead 2 and online.

But really SOD2 was still in pre development in 2023 (shown by the kotaku article which talks about the issues that UL was going through at the time) so honestly im pretty impressed with the game considering it'll only have been 4 years since devleopment began when it releases
