Knight in Shining Armour

[AK47]

So I got this perk and wearing plate but it's not activating.
Im running around in the sun and still not getting the +4 Charisma buff.
Has anyone got it to work?

[Kai]

It says the sun has to bounce off your armor, so only outside?

[AK47]

yep i am outside and even took the overcoat thing off so only plate the shows but still not getting the buff :(

[YamaKami]

Is it fully repaired and clean? Do thoes people have a reason to hate you? I'm just speculating here, I have no idea if any of that matters. I was going to get that one though....

[Fokkas]

Is the armor clean or muddy?

[AK47]

Im in Rattay in daylight, good sunny weather, fully washed gear, good repuation, but the buff not activating.

If anyone has activated this perk can you pelase confirm that it shows as a buff in the buff menu?

[kara_buga]

it works just give it some time to kick in after the first time you get it. I thought it was broken but after a few in game days and possibly closing and opening the game in due time it started working. And yes it shows as a buff.

[AK47]

ok thanks i'll give it a few days. Do you have to remove the Outer Garmet for it to work, cor do you still get the buff with something over it?

[rasabt]

no, you can wear what you want. it not working got nothing to with loading or closing the game, the weather stat doesn't always flag right...similiar to the courtship quest when it's sunny outside and Theresa sometimes says "let's not go out in the rain".
also weather changes seem to take a while to take effect.

I was using it for a long time until clipping isues especially in cutscenes became untasteful but I am fairly certain you still get the buff.

works fine for me, maybe it just doesn't work in specific areas / daytime / armor conditions? or it's just bugged for you. I read somewehre that some people encounter bugs that don't occur for others at all.

I get the clipping in cut scenes even without that perk having plate on and a hood...

Top end full plate is still quite good, but probably not as good as the best brigandine.

If you're not that phased about min-maxing, you can be well protected and shiny AF.....

While you've taken a steaming dump on history, plate armour wasn't quite up to the same level as transitional brig and splint armour in this period. Full plate was something that became the norm during Gothic period saw the greatest advancements in plate where armour hardening became more common.

Since I got this perk I noticed that a storm set in after every fresh wash =D And it last until I got dirty again. Great thing to have!
