The first piece of armour you find in Divnity Original Sin 2 is a bucket you can put on your head. It provides a decent bit of physical armour, which is very nice in the super early game, but it gives you -1 initiative, presumably because it's a bit hard to see what's going on with a bucket on your head.

[@commandoepsilon4664]

Even worse if you are undead, instead of worn as a hat you'll have the bucket pulled all the way down with no way to see out of it. Still only -1 imitative though, I guess undead have really good hearing.

Tbh the choice of armor for DD2 is both scarce and lackluster in general imho. You have 4 slots but the most impactful in the ring choice, while the scarf/hood is only for look almost. The armor choice can vary a bit of defense and provide anti stun but that's it, but the game is easy enough to don't care actually. The main problem is that there are just a handful of options per class, and many do not even look good at all (I hate the mages sets). Then they added the skimpy outfits for the female characters

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

Dragon's Dogma 2 - Charming Corset is literally one of the best pieces of kit in the game. If I remember correctly, it actually has higher stat than a number of post-game armours and is better than them for non-melee focused classes (its knockback resistance isn't as high as some end-game melee armours which makes it a bit less useful in that respect). It looks exactly like you might expect. It's basically lingerie, since you don't wear anything underneath and the only thing you can do for additional coverage (since it takes up both body and leg slot) is a cloak. It's not quite bikini armour, but it only covers up about as much as a one piece bathing suit. Naturally, it's a bit more awkward to have a male character (pawn or Arisen) wearing it, but stats are stats, and it's endgame worthy equipment that can be used for any class.

[@WolfysEyes]

I submit for your approval: the subligar from Final Fantasy XI. This set of armor in the early going was pretty much the first upgrade that low-level characters got in the MMORPG. It also was basically a kinky outfit, with straps across the chest and legs and fully exposed thighs, no matter your character's gender. You didn't get to cover yourself with something more dignified for roughly another five levels, and since this was an older MMORPG, those levels did not come quickly, meaning it was Real Naked Thigh Hours for quite some time back in the day.

Far Cry 6 features a cartoonish crocodile mascot helmet that is crazy good.

In Final Fantasy XI, the first armor that I was able to make that was better than the starting equipment, the bronze harness, was as revealing as the Ranger's Tights!

[@malcolmdarke5299]

The Bronze Harness set in Final Fantasy 11 was some of the best armour available at very low levels, meaning that starting players using the Warrior or Thief jobs would be wearing what amounted to not much more than a skimpy metal swimsuit. Notably, that applied to both male and female character models. And since that armour was also useful for some of the advanced job classes (like Paladin or Dark Knight), and the higher-level Brass Harness set was, visually, a recolour of the Bronze Harness set and also pretty decent, you got players who *weren't* just starting out *also* wearing what amounted to not much more than a skimpy metal swimsuit. It turns out that having the bright idea to wear more than just a pair of metal rings as protection for your legs requires being at least level 16, as that's when the Bone Harness set becomes available... provided, of course, that you don't switch to something else, like leather.

The attack boost is more prominent in TotK because you can fuse a bone item, like the molduga jawbone, to an already powerful weapon and get a huge boost to its damage.

First time playing Fallout 4, I had my first heart to heart with Father wearing the Mechanist's Helmet.

Ooohhh, that's what Majora Mask is about? I want to play it now

I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to put in my two cents: a lot of early gear in Final Fantasy XIV. From silly oven mitts, to robes that looked like they were made from a burlap sack, to the Coliseum Subligar, which I can only describe as "battle panties", the fact that FFXIV allows you to cast glamours over your armor is a *godsend*, lest you die from embarrassment every time you saw your level 10 character in a cutscene.

Diablo 2 - Harlequin Crest (Shako). Good all-around stats for any build for the cost of wearing an ugly dark green cap. Dark Souls 1 - Blood-Stained Skirt. Pretty close to the best leg gear for all stats except physical defense (they're also very light), but you know how that stain got there... Could pick a lot of other DS1 options like the Sunlight Maggot (for light), or Symbol of Avarice (for item discovery). Dark Souls 2 - Jester's Set. Backstab immunity makes it great for PvP, alongside the emotional damage of being killed by a silly Jester.

Nothing specific, but special shoutout to the armor I once looted in Dragon Age Inquisition that, thanks to the materials used in its construction, had the color scheme of a watermelon. I'm sure Sera got a kick out of it, much to the horror of Dorian and Vivienne.

Radiant Set looks weird and kinda goofy for Link to appear like a glow-in-the-dark Mexican Wrestler, but TotK made the set bonus become an OP mechanic for fighting the mini-bosses if you had the right fuse materials for weapons and arrows. The Evil Spirit set is a good substitute, but it doesn't get upgrades, so the defense boosts become a bigger deal if fighting the upper-tier mini-bosses.

Cloud’s woman’s garments? It’s required and especially on the Playstation One looks ridiculous. Fallout 3’s Naughty Nightwear. Luck and speech boost. Dead Rising 4’s Jill Valentine Arcade outfit. Frank looks ridiculous, but has guns and a rocket launcher.

Metal Gear Solid V's chicken hat is one of the most outrageous peices of gear that the player can "earn" in any MGS game. You earn it by repeatedly failing missions. If you dare to wear it, enemies won't notice you sneaking around. Just you and Kojima will know of your walk of shame.

The nice thing about saying that it gives a +5 to Charisma is that it can't be false advertising, because we don't know if that's out of 20, or out of 100, or out of 1000.

[@JustWordsAndOpinions]

lol - my favorite vehicles are Scootypuff Jr (Mr Scooty) and Ladybug with Wings (Biddy Buggy) but I didn’t know about that hidden stat.

Jane's serious delivery of the ranger's tights just broke me 😂

[@darrenblair7230]

In Majora's Mask I used the bunny hood and goron mask alot to get around quick I liked fighting as human link once you get the gilded blade forged

[@igoritzelf]

Don't forget Leon's Chicken Hat and Cat ears from Resident Evil 4 Remake. Hard to get, embarrassing to wear... Game-changing benefits. Although, in the DLC, while the cat set looks good on Ada, the chicken hat looks even worse on her.

0:41 whenever I hear this piano riff I think of a cat from an old cartoon playing the piano standing up and animatedly tapping their foot
