How does Wesley have the time to change into field plate but Aveline doesn't?

He's a Templar. We can infer he was already wearing it.

remember ME2? Remember how we kept asking "is the appearance fixed? can we take the stupid catsuit off Miranda and put her in some armor?".....remember how they hinted appearances CAN change  but never addressed directly?...sounds familiar?

Well, that's dissapointing. I think this rules out getting any reasonable armour on party NPCs in DA:O, unless Bioware learned from the absurdity of having exposed skin in outer space. But I'm not getting my hopes up.

The Aveline badass jokes are coming, and they will be glorious.


-Avleine shaves her legs with a broadsword

-She can eat 20 lbs of meat in a single sitting

-When Aveline's joints ache, it rains

When Aveline shaves her legs with 20 lbs of meat, it rains.

When Aveline works out, she doesn't push up. She pushes Thedas down.

(someone else thought of this one, originally, I can't remember who.)

It's a Chuck Norris quip.

But Aveline steals Chuck Norris's lunch money.

So what's stopping me from inferring that Aveline, a warrior who is currently in a battle, has armor too?

There's no forehead behind Aveline's headband, only another fist.

The first wears a headband.

Infinite fist recursion.

She doesn't work like one though. Having armor is kind of rare amongst them.

Edit: Them being non-professional warriors.

Maybe she is working as a blacksmith in Lothering, during the time of the attack. Would explain her apron thingy I guess. I am sure there are hundreds of explanations to why she doesn`t wear an armour at that point in time.

Okay, here are a couple things regarding the general lack of armor so far for companions that I feel need to be out here;

Armor was expensive. A full set of armor back in the middle ages was not something you could find at your normal weapon's shop. If a family was fortunate, they would have one set of armor that the patriarch of the family would wear. Soldiers in the king's army would usually have chainmail, a helmet and a breastplate in the way of armor. Otherwise, people made do with chainmail and leather armors. Which; if I may point out, looks like what Aveline has been seen wearing.

People didn't always gravitate towards armor, there were people who went into battle naked. Naked. Preferably, your weapon and/or shield was the only defense you needed. Avoiding being hit was preferable than being able to take hits.

Including that she would have to go to the equivalent of Long Tall Sally to get armor that has the right other bumps to go round those twin sets of biceps and Lothering does not have a LTS outlet as its only a village...


Looking forward to seeing Aveline in game - she looks awesome. Such a refreshing change from "yet another waif" female

I agree with you that given we seem to know that her husband is on his way to rescue her given he has heard that Lothering is in the flightpath of a darkspawn horde she is likely a civilian in Lothering, doing some sort of heavy manual involved work - good guess by others of blacksmith. Hence she takes up her husbands shield and sword on the flight from Lothering.

After all I am assuming all characters start around level 1 so her going from blacksmith to warrior during that section sounds solid. Her blacksmith time and husband would have given her some basic warrior type training anyway enough to be level 1.

An "apron" which looks a heck of a lot like leather armor.

It protects her core, which is what an enemy would most likely swing for. A bullet-proof vest does not cover your entire body, it protects the core.

 a bullet proof vest protects your chest....as for the arms she is a melee fighter not a shooter

instead of romance scenes we'll get Aveline benchpressing hawke

I thought actual leather armor was supposed to be hardened so as to be tough like wood, not the kind of leather that would be soft and conform to your body shape like clothing.

Leather can be very tough while maintaining some flexibility. While yes, the hardest leathers do not move at all, flexible leather armor could be reinforced with metal studs.

I forgot to add that she also carries a shield, which --in a non gameplay mindset-- acts as an armor in and of itself.

And when you're in melee combat, you're not focused on hitting the arms, you strike at the core. It's the same principle, except not at a range.
