#y'know. titans having backswept helms and up-forward angled cuisses.

if bungie are really having so much trouble making new ritual armour sets every year they should just either start adding in armour from d1 (yeah they'd have to do retopo and retexturing and the like but y'know. no need to worry about design and concepting)

or go back to the method they used for character asset creation in D1 (modular construction, assets being made of "Bits" and "Bunches of Bits" made in their mashup and gear manager programs (plugins?)) which according to their 2014 "Building Customizable Characters for Bungie's Destiny" GDC talk allowed them to make "a new piece of helmet content in about 20 minutes"

(yes using the mashup/gm bits and bobs asset creation method would result in a lot of reused and very similar assets with potentially less aesthetic variety but they could probably deal with at least some of that by having a team organise assets by similarity and picking the best one from each group or something)

#random robot rambles #destiny #destiny 2 #also going back to the mu/gm bits and bobs over core base model method would probably help give the classes back a bit of their identity #and character that aren't just basic/generic ''warlocks have long coattails/robes and a bond'' #''titans have heavy armour big spauldrons and a mark'' #hunters have a cloak #y'know. titans having backswept helms and up-forward angled cuisses. #hunters having rebreather/gas masks and/or prominent optical/sensor packages or snow-goggle esque visors #and kind of ''vest-like''(?) cuirasses #warlock helmets looking more ''hooded'' #(I know these weren't hard and fast rules — more trends than rules — but they were largely true for the most part) #(hopefully this doesn't come across wrong)
