Talk:Sir Gawain's Jousting Helmet/@comment-1674153-20171104215803

Well, one of my favorite Gawain stories - and honestly one of the only Camelot stories I actually know aside from the Lancelot and Guinevere business - is the story of the Green Knight, where Gawain' actions are pretty much dictated by a code of honor, knighthood, and social convention. Very polite dude, whose real only action of defying the orders of others was forgiveable because he almost immeadiately apologized for doing it.

So what if the helmet compels whoever wears it to become an autonomy-devoid robot who only takes action to support the cause of the last order they were given? Or maybe the last polite thing they did? Some sort of proto-Asimov's Rules of Robotics idea? Just spitballing.
