Pretty sure it's not an April Fool's prank, sadly.

 
Honestly, I wouldn't mind the nerd set too much if it wasn't for the shorts and shirt. It really doesn't look like an apocalypse nerd, he's wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but this is going to be heavy armor. I don't mind the gear pouches too much, they could look pretty nice. It just looks kind of dinky, and not in a good or endearing way. It's almost a bit too over the top. Throw some jeans under those kneepads, replace the shirt, it'd be a lot better imo. It looks almost cartoonish. Not a fan, when quite a few of the other sets are super sick and make sense this one really sticks out.

I'm kind of surprised that they haven't seemed to change or iterate on any of the armor designs at all from when they were previewed. Could be wrong, its been a while.

At least give him proper pants and protective gear, this doesn't look much like heavy armor outside of the fallout head cage thing. I think that'd make the design better while not completely remaking it.

Not meaning to be rude here, sorry.

Are all clothes that we find in loot gonna be replaced by armor pieces. If we can`t use them, why would we need them apart for cloth and dye ? 

@UserNo worries, you are not rude, good point of view.

I don't know why you can't believe it. It fits entirely with the way they do other things. Take a look at some of the POI's and nods to other titles already within the game. The way some of the skill perks have been named in the past and current versions. This kind of display is exactly what I would expect from the Fun Pimps, and is exactly the kind of things that makes this game so absurdly unique.

I think it would be cool to still have armor with "no special effect", to make whenever you find armor set pieces, even more special.

Edit: I'm talking about both, armor and clothes.

I don't mind the whole new armor system.  It's just that the design/appearance of this Intellect 'armor' is absolutely horrible.

I would say "undesirable" or "unappealing." The artwork is well done and creative. It just isn't what I want to strap on to face the world. I might put it on for a laugh.

 
For unfun serious games please ask your favourite steam dealer down the road. This game may not be suitable to you. Please ask your psychotherapist before starting the game 😁

Nobody needs to wear the nerd set. If your vanity is bigger than the bonuses provided then just use some other armor and accept that you have been brainwashed by the fashion industry

 
In game design balancing tries to make sure that between comparable items the sum of all disadvantages and advantages is equal. Since the look of the nerd armor seems such a hugh disadvantage I expect the bonus stats of the nerd armor to offset this.

You hear me, TFP? Its only for balance, I get nothing out of it 😇

Anyone want to take a guess which pieces of armor is being work in that screenshot?  The body piece is obvious but guesses on the others?

Hat looks sort of like a ranger hat, could be wrong but that's all my small brain can surmise. Actually, on a second look, I got no clue what kind of hat that is. Anyone got any insight?

The glasses look pretty cool.

The only outfit I've heard no one giving a good feedback on, is the nerd outfit.

But think about it, that's how us non-nerds, e.g. me, look at nerds. So, it kind of makes sense.  :caked:

The reason why it got so much backlash here, is because most of this forum's posters are, in fact, nerd-ish!  :classic_tongue:
