My dad would disagree with you. He covers his head not to shield his eyes, but to protect his bald pate from serious sunburns :wink:

On the other hand, they have that visor as caps do, to keep the sun out of their eyes. Pretty much every single helmet in the Conan universe would function as, well, a cap to protect the top of their head.

As for the cap, the description makes perfect sense to me. Protecting your head and your eyes may not be directly synonymous, but definitely far from mutually exclusive.

The rest of the descriptions may not be worded as eloquently as they could have been, but they do get the point across. Without meaning any disrespect, this strikes me as more of a minor nitpick than an actual issue. As such, it would’ve probably been better to formulate a suggestion in the appropriate forum as opposed to report it as a bug/issue.

Not having correct grammar is obviously a mistake which should be rectified. Made the same reports before, which then got merged into the game. Good localization is something that should not be skipped over.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback, we’ll forward it to the developers for further consideration.
