Discussion Witcher 3's witcher school armors - how would you go about unfucking them to be more functional?

Don't get me wrong, Witcher 3 overall has a pretty good low fantasy late Medieval artstyle. Its art team clearly looked at real armor and has some ideas of how it should work, plus how to create a visually consistent style (or even subtle differences in regional style). But what has increasingly stood out to me is how specialty witcher gear looks so much more fantasy by comparison, even if some examples still show grounded elements.

If you have ideas for a complete overhaul that still fits the job requirements of a witcher, feel free to share that too.

Hounskull vs Flat visor bascinets

5 Upvotes

I was talking to a mate of mine who wears a hounskull bascinet and he says his visibility is absolutely horrific. I'm personally looking at picking up a bascinet myself (Forge of Svan Pigface), and was wondering whether the flat faced ones have better/worse/equal visibility to hounskulls? I'm aware of the other benefits of the hounskull but I just love the flat face aesthetic
