      I love the variety of helmets, but I don't like the fact that full-face helmets conceal the character's face when engaged in conversation. Given that a lot of artistic skill went into programming facial features and expressions, it's a shame that we are missing all that, unless we unequip the party's helmets before starting a chat. Unfortunately, some of the cut scenes initiate unexpectedly, so this isn't always an option. Maybe this could be addressed in the next major patch? Remove helmets automatically to experience players facial expressions when cut-scenes start, and replace them automatically at the end.

        Larian created a fantastic 11/10 game. That being said, they need to fire whoever came up with these helmet designs. They are absolutely terrible and it is flat out the worst helmet design I have ever seen in a video game. They went for this creative fantasy Renaissance aesthetic and the armor turned out gorgeous. Yet they decided to make the helmets as ugly as possible? Where are the closed-faced helmets? Where are the knight helmets? Why is the armor design so advanced, yet the helmets look like Halloween props! At least the floppy hats are stylish enough to wear through the entire game. Hopefully mods add in some great looking functional helmets like a sallet.

          If you're playing a Paladin or Oath of the Blade Warlock, grab Diadem of Arcane Synergy. Stacking that damage up is a must.

            theres a few pretty cool looking helms but without enchantments in the end of act 2 where you go down to the mind flayer lair. its like fierce helm, regal helm, etc. and they look sick, too bad they don't have anything special

              Is there a single close-faced heavy helmet in the game that looks remotely 'knightly'? Kinda disappointed with what I've come across so far.

                  No oversized witchy hats? broooo... I don't care if I could cast meteor showers or wishes, if I don't have a FLOPPY, POINTY and WIDE BRIMMED piece of this genius headwear DRIP, then I'm a freaking joke of a mage. Big Hat Logan, Gandalf and practically any other accomplished wizard would LAUGH in my face if they ever saw me try to cast something while wearing something as cringe as a CIRCLET or a HOOD.

                    Hello,

                    There is a new helmet "Wapira crown" (this is a direct translation from french, so not sure about the english name).

                    Whenever you heal somebody you receive 1d6 health point.

                    Spoiler:

                    I looted it after finishing the goblin quest as a reward from Zevlor. (I have stolen his HELLRIDER'S PRIDE glove at the beggining of the game, not sure if it is important).

                    Don't know how to post a picture.
