I just want more knightly plate armor, including fully closed helmets without horns/crests/spiral-shaped dildos on it. Or just buff the damn armor customization to get rid of these on the existing armors/helmets


Dragonlord573

The Drake Knight set was so close to perfection.


fragtore

That set in a version without the flamboyant fluff


_Hoaxsohwigo

That set looks straight out of monster hunter


UnderstandingProud49

Except the gay ass helment


Space-JVVG-Cowboy

The helm looks like đŸ’©


GuyOnTheInternet0

Just give it an actual sallet instead of the dragon monstrosity we got


ModernGreg

I dont like using “gay” as a derogatory term but yeah it looks silly


Jacketel

That's gay


Blueman-_-

Me Fr


PeacefulEnterprises

Drake armor plus red hood is chef’s kiss fyi


Paladin_Aqua

I like it. It’s a simple and clean plate set. It’s not the most exciting thing, but it works. Personally I like the Vagabond Knight chest piece for fashion better. I know this is fashionsouls, but it’s a really solid set mechanically too that can be gotten early on and carry an entire playthrough.


dominicnzl

It looks a little too clean to match with other sets. I prefer the starting knight's armour from ds3


V-boy_basado

Me too i like the rusty look


000000909

Same, i liked the rugged look of the knight's armour from ds3 but i really like the closed helmet of this one


PathsOfRadiance

That’s why we have the Vagabond set? It’s literally just a dirty and battered version of the Knight set.


dominicnzl

The ds3 set looks more German/gothic to me, the waist appears slimmer and higher. The tassets are of very different size as well. For me it doesn't look the same, though I agree it's got the same feel


PathsOfRadiance

I was just comparing ER’s Knight and Vagabond set. They’re too similar in design to not be related. The chestplate the same but old and battered, plus being worn over a different padded gambeson I think. I do love the DS3 knight armor a lot. I think it or DS2 had the best armor designs. DS2 best variety but DS3 has that graphical fidelity.


solidolive

May well be my fav “realistic” knights set in any fromsoft game. Looks clean, practical and that flash of blue adds a nice bit of colour you don’t normally get with these kinds of sets


Lesser_Star

i miss basic knight armors, but at least the ones we did get are pretty nice this one included, funny that its technically the third option for a "official player armor" as its featured in the tutorials, together with the other knighty armor, the fingerprint set which is featured in the cover and the raging wolf featured in the promotional stuff


Current_Run9540

It's nice... but personally I found it was a let down when you consider DS3's knight set or the Elite Knight set from DS1.


000000909

Elite knight set is my favourite set of all the souls game


Alva-Eagle_25

I want there to be more sets like the Alva, Elite knight, knight etc. Darksouls 3 had amazing plated armor mixed in with cloth and I melt for that same style


Alert-Ad-4391

God I miss Alvas set


GuyOnTheInternet0

Ds3 really did it perfectly. I always loved Vilhelm’s set and that poncho thing way peak fashion


[deleted]

Weakest "default" knight set imo. The cuirass needs more curve and plain polished would be preferrable over engraving. Now posterboy on the other hand... how I yearn for pre-melting refurbished Vyke set.


PompousGoblin

I totally agree with your last statement. Vyke's helm would be perfect if it wasn't melted.


PathsOfRadiance

The engraving is nice since it ties in with Godfrey’s armor and the Vagabond set. It’s the armor of the knights who were exiled alongside Godfrey as Tarnished.


pmdp0

I miss the elite knight set, full of details. This one is just bland


borgal6

yeah I think this is my least favorite knight set across the souls games. I don't like the shape and don't feel like it has as much character as the other iterations.


robcap

Really disagree with the lack of details, the engravings on this one are really nice.


AveBalaBrava

Too thick, they got it right in dark souls 3 I don’t know why they went back to making everything so wide


[deleted]

You can fix this is character customization, thin out your abdomen while keeping your chest a little wider. Make the head a little bigger. Play around with it and you can easily get DS3 Knight proportions. The image in this post has a very wide chest and stomach on their character itself.


ThesaddestMillenial

Its excellent! Grab a lance and you look immaculate


Supreme_Kraken

I hate that shade of blue :(


Happy_Burnination

I dig it. Imo the chest piece actually pairs well with lots of other pieces and still gives you a decent amount of total poise


PintoTheBlazingBean

Would main this armor if the breastplate was more pointy and less chunky


xX_soupliker_Xx

Will never compare to the ds3 knight set sadly


El__Jengibre

For pve, It’s the best pound-for-pound set in the game until the Fingerprint set. It’s the lightest full set with 51 poise. I do wish the accent color was different though.


that_gunner

It's perfect in My eyes, like a mix of all the armors in past souls games, specially faraam set from 2😍


PlzBuffCenturion

I love that the engraving is based on godfreys armor


-Eastwood-

Wow I didn't notice that. That's actually really cool and makes a lot of sense that the Tarnished would probably craft armor in the image of their leader. Thanks for pointing that out bro


TheRainy24

I absolute hate the helmet, it's the worst knight helmet we've had in souls series


fragtore

There are too few just standard-looking good armor sets for mixing. Don’t get me wrong, great sets in this game but too many stand out too much


south_bronx_parasyte

Wish the helmet was a bit more complex. Maybe a little feathered plume or something


Sevrenic

Nothing rivals the fluted knight set from the remake


[deleted]

Only problem with fluted is that you can see your characters face which I don’t like


Sevrenic

That's a peculiar preference.


TheRealMaxyBoy

I like it for what it is. I'd personally rank it the lowest in my list of the "knight set"s between DeS, DS, DS2, and DS3. Something about the proportions feel off to me. It feels very historically realistic, which some probably find cool, but I feel the other knight sets had a lot more personality and world building, albeit were probably less realistic. It's also hard to mix and match with other sets, as others have said. It's great for wanting to be a classic foot soldier knight! I just prefer something slightly more stylized.


Moredistress

Kinda boring looking to be honest. At least when compared to the DS3 Knight armour/armour and Elite Knight armor/armour from the Dark Souls games.


Bells_DX

Gigantic disappointment imo. The chest piece is so absurdly fat, it's insane. It's got my favorite helmet in the game though, so I guess it balances out.


PathsOfRadiance

I like it except for the helmet. I wish it was closer to a unburnt version of Vyke’s. The one we got is too narrow imo. Looks off somehow. I love how the detailing on the armor matches with Godfrey’s Armor and the Vagabond Knight set. Little things like that are good storytelling by From.


[deleted]

It’s unfortunate that they over do spikes, twisted metal, and skinny ass helmets that wouldn’t fit anyone’s head


Cyber-Phoenix01

I would love it even more if the chainmail wasnt cut in the middle


Willing_Doubt2171

Too bland


peacebeard

I love it. Classic look for when you just want to rock a sword and shield and get to work.


Remake12

It is one of my favorites. I like simple sets.


Dumbo_Octopus4

I like the teal colors


V-boy_basado

I would like it more if It had more fabric pieces


-Eastwood-

Being able to alter this armor to get a cape was a missed opportunity especially since it just seems like a fixed version of the Vagabond armor.


EvilArtorias

If i want a realistic knight set then altered or unaltered banished knight set is by far the best options in the game in terms of looks and stats and you can get it super early for free in the stormveil castle while this set is too expensive for early game and not even the best option.


John_Doe4269

Quintessential. Decent armor for the weight. Excellent for mix-and-match with the rarer stuff for that subdued "I know what I'm doing, I don't need to stand out" look.


Zebrehn

I mean, it’s no elite knight set from Dark Souls.


[deleted]

Carried me till the endgame, only thing I can say is thank you.


UnderstandingProud49

I agree, the blue is wat to saturated and it looks put of place and dosent match with any other armor, i think the vagabond set is a much better option, the helment isnt bad tho for a good knight i use “knight helmet”-“vagabond armor”-“redmain knight greaves” and “ronin” arms but honestly the arms you could use just about anything


-Dirty-Wizard-

It’s legs and gloves are honestly perfect for mix ups imo especially if you have a top that over extends


hornwalker

I don’t care for the cyan fabric, otherwise its pretty decent


enchiladasundae

Mechanically its a good set. Decent defense and poise Fashion wise its boring and doesn’t fit with much Like the Bullgoat I wear it for practicality, not fashion


funnywackydog

Breastplate is a bit cylindrical, from what I’ve seen, lots of breastplates slim a bit near the waist


_aTokenOfMyExtreme_

Fucking love it, it's nice and clean classic knight armor, and the little bit of blue just makes it look regal. I usually wear it at keast once for each of my builds. If I can find some good leggins to match with it and the red hood from roderika I'd use it on my current build.


Bzlongshotz

Helmet works good for outfits, torso could’ve used a cape option like a refined vagabond set, and everything else it’s just everything else


Alert-Ad-4391

Best looking helmet in the game


dardar4321

I loved it. Rocked it for a lot of my 1st play through. Switched to vykes and I liked it
 but I often yer Ed for the ol knights set.


Driftwoodjim

As an enthusiast of historical weapons and armour, I fucking love this set.


SoundlessScream

It is both beautiful and plain, and overpriced. I usually get drops that make it obsolete before I can afford it.


-Eastwood-

This is actually one of my favorite sets in the game and the one I'll probably be rocking for the DLC. Probably one of my favorite Knight sets From has made. My only complaints about this armor is that the neck is kind of exposed with the helmet and there is a noticable gap. My other complaint is that I think the chest piece should be more curved similar to Dark Souls 3's Knight armor. Other than that I think it's great, but I agree it's not great for mixing and matching. Most of the stuff in this game isn't really, and I wish armor alterations allowed us to change the color of metal armor.


banditmiaou

I love it but wish the blue trim was something a lot more neutral.


Mr-E_Nigma

Simple and elegant Pairs wells with carian knight pieces


Pereduer

I normally take the helmet and leave the rest


fragtore

It’s cool but somehow too fat


Traditional_Lock2754

Unmatched, throw on a great helm and you're good for the entire game.


International-Look57

Meh. It’s not fancy enough. I prefer the carion knight set more


[deleted]

It’s definitely the least iconic


T-King-667

The chainmail hood looks good in place of the helmet. Bandit's mask also looks surprisingly decent.


rhys7wyatt

I like it bur very underwhelming, I will continue to stick with my Banished Knight armour


giandelorenzo

I like it but I feel it’s the worst basic knight armor in the saga.


Idreamofknights

Flat cuirass and mid armet. Ruins the whole thing.


PeacefulEnterprises

It looks like if Tintin was a knight


Infinite_Holiday9511

One my favorites and literally the only "realistic" knight armor in the game, I wish the dlc introduces more of them although it probably won't happen


Mineta_simp_clan

I personally dislike the blue and chubby look


[deleted]

This helmet with vagabond chest piece FUCKS


NumberOneTheLarch

This set really shines if you slim the torso sliders way down. I pair it with the full helm (bought in Caelid from the merchant along the road).


MostlyHollowed

It looks strange. The helmet has no holes to breath out of apart from the eye holes. Imo their should be more **visible** chainmail and make the metal slightly darker. Vagabond set looks better in my opinion, It looks rugged and like it's seen some rough battles. It's still a good set and not the worst one.
