Is it so hard to understand that this is Conan and not SIMS Middle Ages? You may want to check out Slith's interview with the game's vision owner and original GD. Hope this helps in understanding that the gear had to be silly, impractical and corny, in order to fit with the game's vision.
Oh, and you may also consider the way REH treats female characters in his novels. Or how often he uses the term "supple" when describing women. No, this is not high-brow literature. This is pulp and as such, it demands a pulpy visual representation.Originally Posted by Gaute Godager
