You can change their weapon, so long as it's a type they use (you can give Aveline 1-handed swords and shields, for instance, but not 2-handed swords). You can also equip them with things like amulets, belts, rings, etc. The only thing you cannot do is change their armor-- you can only upgrade their existing armor.

Now I see why people have been calling it Dragon Effect 2...
Very dissapointing. Hopefully modders fix this dumb choice that Bioware made...

Why are people obsessed with the ability to change their parties armor? The armors in DAO were not that great, and after playing it a few times everyone ended up in either high tier plate mail or drakeskin armor and it was boring to look at. I'm fine with their outfits changing as the story demands it, leaving my outfit customization limited to Hawke.
And toy soldiers, too.wulfsturm wrote...

Aparently, people like to play "Dress Up Ken and Barbie" in their RPGs, who would have thought?

What is roleplay but helping to shape a world and a story? You're always going to be playing in someone else's sandbox, but with this system it's less our own. I realize that's not important to some people or they don't mind the trade-off, but just disparaging and dismissing it when you're on a board that's dedicated to roleplaying games is a wee ironic.wulfsturm wrote...

Well, I was generically referring to both sexes, but that works as well.

Cut the snarky attitude, for one. As far as the characters, you say it yourself here, the devs are the ones deciding what a companion wears when. Granted that the NPCs (and the PC for that matter) are written by them, but offering us a bit of flexibility within the character framework allows each player to tailor the game as they see fit, not as the devs want it to be every minute. It's no different than you getting to choose which skills the NPCs level up with. Why not just autolevel and be surprised? Because it's your game, so you get to have some say. Same deal.elearon1 wrote...

I have never used this phrase before, because apparently I was saving it for you; lolwut?
While I certainly agree with your first statement, roleplaying is about helping to shape a world and a story, I fail to see how the ability to change your party's armor limits your opportunity to do either. How is Bethany wearing Mage Amor #1 vs Mage Armor #3 going to effect either of those elements? So you can give her a slightly goofier or vaguely different set of armor for that meager stat bonus?
Instead, the developers have crafted the armor to reflect the personalities of the characters they are for, and designed them to evolve throughout the story as the characters themselves evolve. In this way the armor becomes an extension of the character, rather than just another piece of gear you have to micromanage for the best bonus.
Sure there are advantages. Restricting which weapons each class can use as well. It allows for greater cinematics. Not having to make models standard saves development time. I just don't think ditching roleplay for cinematics is a good trade. You're free to differ.Rather than look for reasons to hate this decision, perhaps people should be looking at the reasons why this might make the game better. We cannot always assume the developers made a decision simply to ****** you off, sometimes they make choices because they honestly think people will be happier with the end result. But I could be wrong there ... I'd need an actual developer to confirm or deny that before it becomes a nasty rumor.
