I get what you mean about the sleeves though, they are hard to animate, I do understand that, they have the same trouble with long hair too, don't they?

I suspect that's why there isn't longer hair styles as options to pick from, yes.

It's possible to have aesthetically pleasing and functional armour, and I'm not asking for entirely realistic armour- I mean, I love the heavy plate armour in the game, no matter how many times the spaulders drove themselves through Alistair's head when he shrugged.





You know what would be nice? Brigandines and jack of plates.

I'd definitely go for seeing a bit more variety, especially on the rogue and mage armors. I can see how a few more color options and a few choices that are a bit more feminine would be a great addition.

I'm not worried about masculine/feminine too much, but I'd like there to be a place where we can mildly customise our armour. You know, shell out a few gold for new colours, maybe a simple design applied to it (like how we had heraldry applied to shields in DA:A).

Armor shouldn't have to look good. Its supposed to stop you from dying, not attract attention to yourself because, "Wow, look at her armor, its so pretty. NOW SHE DIES!"

But you have to realise that for many players it does matter how they look in game. Look at the amount of armour and clothes mods out there. Many many people put in hours and hours of modding time and effort to make their characters look better so they can enjoy their gaming experience more.

I am one of those people who hasnt learnt how to mod but I have used many many mods to enhance my gaming life experiences. I think to many many people; how armour looks is extremely important.

Yes, but there's giving more options, and there's pandering. After a certain point, 'pretty' armour with no real functional value (hello, Dalish elf woman armour) becomes pandering, not to mention immersion breaking. For the basics, functional armour with some nice touches (gilding, heraldic devices, etc) > looking good and easy to kill.

That would be good too!! I really would like more designs though..here's hoping!

You are putting too much enthusiasm in an optional fun to have feature.

But then, there are people who customize Shepard's armor each time before landing on a planet to match the surroundings in color...

Please come to this thread with something constructive to add not ridiculous judgements to make.

Well I have read the thread until it turned into a chainmail bikini and lingerie heroine discussion.

Dragon Age and Mass Effect 1 had it right with the practical above aesthetic approach towards gear, and I don't want it to change.

The NWN2 comparison is understandable. I admit the game had very few armour models compared to other games, but it's all fine by me.

I hope there is a lot more variation in the armor. DAO had very little, especially when it came to robes/light armor.

I hope none of it looks like what the OP posted(no offense!). I hated the armor in NWN2 even more than DAO... DAO lacked variety, but what it had looked good. NWN2 was the opposite -- plenty of different looks, none of which were appealing.

Exactly. At a certain point I just stopped looking at the armor themselves and just slapped them on my character for stats. They weren't that great looking at all.

I want Bioware to stick to their vision. I've talked about their horrible hairstyles before but I can live with even that because, modders did a great job with creating hairstyles I liked.

[Cell1e]

Well I am hoping that they will make a better variety of armours. I do like the ones in NWN2 but would be very happy if they just gave us more styles of armours to choose from. I wouldnt expect anything that contradicts the time period and belief structures in that era but as this game/developer is reknown for catering to gamers of all ages and sexes then I would really hope they could take some of my/our suggestions on board.

The amount of armor and clothing mods drops drastically when you take out the fetish gear, "giant bewbs omg!" stuff, lingerie, extremely basic recolors, and stuff based on other games. 
Female-specific armor especially. Take those out you get... heck the Pious armor is the only one I can think of.

Honestly, I don't mean to be rude but I don't understand this desire people have to make the armor in a game look like the armor in another game. If you like that game's style so much more then just play it instead.

However I do agree that some variety would be nice as long as it's realistic and functional. Since DA2 is going to take us away from Ferelden then it seems realistic for different lands to have different crafting styles. Some Orlesian armor, Antivan Armor, Rivain armor etc. We already had a difference in robes based on their source (Chasind vs. Circle) so it doesn't seem too strange that other armors could have similar difference.
Nothing crazy like every material has its own mesh. Maybe even just restrict the different meshes to unique armors.

[Eludajae]

I agree we need better fashions, not really in the armor department, but in the mage and rogue clothes. I understand why they made the clothes somewhat plain in the first DA because Fereldon was a very simple place very medieval in nature. But Orlay and other places should have a more colorful Renaissance and Elven look to them.

Even if game have crap armour, modders probably improve it like oblivion.

Cloaks are cool, Oblivion and Dragon Age not have them in vanilla.


I want cloak with hood like strider sitting in corner of bar with pipe.

I am so against the underwear-like models that modders come up with.



I don't think Bioware will come up with something like that, but its a frightening thought nevertheless.

[Images]

I'm all in for more variety, especially with the leather armours, a rethink of the mage clothing line and DEFINITELY getting rid of the silly hats.

To be fair, the bodies in Dragon Age without Armour on looks pretty bad, Same head on different bodies. There is a "natural bodies" mod on nexus website that makes them look abit less like a decapitated head put on another body.
