Do you put helmets on your characters?

Depends, if it's an exceptionally cool helmet I'll wear it. Usually I don't, in Oblivion I tend to wear a hood/cloak (from a mod). I like my characters to have the travelling adventurer feel, so I'm big on cloaks.
In WoW you can just choose not to display it. Having an empty slot will get you nothing but trouble, especially the head (with meta gems).SweetNess_666 said:I've never thought of not wearing a hat in rpg games, I play world of warcraft and I always just went for the stat boost but now I think about it, it wdnt make much of a difference
OT: Usually, yes. I'm a min-maxer for the most part, though I have occasionally gone more role-playey in Oblivion, having my character wear a different set of clothes when in cities and around people, and then don armour once alone.
If the helmet is actually visible then no, I hate helmets. I want to be able to see my character's face. I'll put on a hat or a hood, but no helmets.
If you don't wear a helmet now, you'll have to when the brain damage settles in.
Heads make such juicy targets. Games need to enforce that kind of thing: not having a helmet gives you penalties against stunning and such. Then your helmet can protect against it, and resistance to critical hits, that kind of thing. Then just add a button that lets you remove or appear to not be wearing the helmet so you can pretend your character's face is important to other people.

Yeah pretty much this. I remember in Oblivion, if I was going into a dungeon or on a mission I'd wear a helmet (If I could find one that didn't look like shit, anyways), but at all other times I'd just trudge around the world with my leather or fur armor, since they were the coolest looking armor, and a brown hood that I bought for 10gold at Rindir's Staffs.Marter said:

I almost never puts helmets on.
I like to be able to see my characters face. Helmets are kinda bland and impersonal, don't allow you to see facial expressions, and a lot of the time simply just aren't all that aesthetically pleasing.
Vanquish, Dead Space, the Scout helmet from Halo Reach, and the Death Mask from ME2 are about the only helmets I actually like.

I never put helmets on my characters unless they look visually pleasing. I like being able to see my characters--especially in dialog. When the helmet is automatically removed in dialog, it's fine and I'll wear one occasion.
A few defense points don't really put me off.

I will unless its covers up the character too much or just looks stupid
and in Mass Effect 2 I remember wishing i could take the helm off the blood dragon armor so I could actually see shepherd and his voice wouldn't sound like a phone conversation.

In Mount&Blade:Warband, I had a shocking realization.
I had full platemail, crafted by the best armorsmiths in all the land, accompanied by gloves that could make the angel's hands look like sandpaper.
With a mastercrafted saber that would slice through armored tanks like butter, and a bow that shoot past the SUN!
Oh, and a beret. I had a beret.
No, I don't usually wear helmets.

If the helm comes off when my character talks, such as in DA:O, yes.
If it doesn't, such as in ME2, then no.
