Yeah, Ryzaki, I hope so too. My PnP mages always wear pants -- robes are so damned impractical.

(Remember the howling when NWN1 shipped without robes?)

The 'iconic' outfit has pants. And the beginning armors have all had pants. Merrill seems to be wearing pants. I think we've only seen dude Hawke and Bethany in robes.

Oh, and "Anders."

I just want to play this game. I dont like to say anything against it without acually being able to say "I've played it" becouse it feels like im just talking out of my ass -.-

[AlanC9]

Thanks, Maria. I'd forgotten



Hwy, where did you find the quote in your sig?

[JoltDealer]

Seriously? We have two girls in Dragon Age 2 that show off a bit of cleavage and the provocative one of those two, dresses provocatively. It's a character trait. Merril, Aveline, and Bethany do not dress in a skimpy way in any way whatsoever. Morrigan was a bit skimpy, but Leliana was found in chantry robes and Wynne was an old woman. Sure the male and female outifts for some mage robes showed off some cleavage, but there were alternatives to those robes.



This is nothing more than social panic. It's being blown way out of proportion.

I can't wait till March 8th just so I can see all the clothes!!!

Edit: Wait beginning mage outfits had pants? Do you have any screenies? 

Though do we eventually get the iconic outfit? I hope so.

Merrill's only seen from the waist up though right?

Though on Anders we wouldn't be able to wear something similar to him because of the whole unique armor thing right ? So that doesn't exactly assuage my fears. The same goes for Merrill.

Ah I was improperly calling that the commoner outfit. I assumed Hawke had just grabbed whatever while fleeing the darkspawn.

Oh no! A character in a tunic dress! Someone inform the Puritan Police!

Honestly, the fact that Isabela is always going to dress like Isabela, and someone can't switch her out into a dowdier set of armor just because is probably the thing I like most about the new inventory system.

The opposite of skank is not puritan.

I think it's the combination of really huge gazongas barely laced in and the panty shots in battle that takes it from "cute and sexy" into the realm of blatant fanservice.

My point with Morrigan was simple, if your raised in a secluded envirorment where your free to pretty much do as you please you do not have the inhabitions that others have. Most should be happy that she had that much on if you ask me.

Fair point, but her mother was dressed normally. So can we conclude that the developers wanted to not see old lady boob, and just Morrigan's boobs?

Flemith was a bit more worldly than Morrigan was she not?

I don't think Isabela was ever ment to be cute. Sexy sure...but I'm not seeing cute.

Though as long as we don't get any shots of "dat ass" outside of romance scenes I'm happy.



Really. Do. Not. Want.

(At least not during a scene where I'm discussin family matters unrelated to me and the NPC in question bumping uglies)

Isabela strikes me as a "blatant fanservice" kind of gal.

Well, I don't really have much issue with Isabela wearing what she wears (as in, Isabela chooses to wear that and we don't have to) and I am hardly a skank. I don't think you have to be a skank in order to not take issue with others choosing to wear skimpy clothes.

[Leonia]

I don't really consider Isabela to be skanky, honestly.. she's just a liberal woman with a liberal dress sense. What else would you expect from a pirate? She's not trying to say "look at me, I am a skank!" she's just wearing what she's comfortable with. And really, on a ship, with the sun beating down on you all the time.. less clothing sort of makes sense. And those boots.. oh those boots make up for all of it.

They are...an in the dev vid Hawke was doing this weird walk with his chest pushed out that didn't look right. The robes just made it look weirder.

And why is fanservice considered bad or negative?  Saying you're all puritans because you don't like a provocatively-dressed character is like saying that Dragon Age 2 is full of scantily-clad women.  It's an unfair assumption based on bias rather than actual fact.  It's a broad generalization based on very limited experience with something; in other words a stereotype.  Do some women wear revealing outfits in public on a regular basis?  Yes, some of them do.  Does that make them all "****s"?  No, which is how the "Just because I'm dressed this way..." phrase came about.

I have two friends with natural 38DD breasts.  Both of them are pretty and very nice, but they have very different views on the large bra sizes.  One friend constantly refers to them as "annoying, sacks of back-pains" and wears all manners of loose sweaters and turtle necks to hide them.  The other wears tank tops and blouses that shows off her cleavage and sees it as taking advantage of the way God made her.  Isabela is more like the latter.  She is a gorgeous and sexy woman that embraces the way she looks.  What you may see as "blatant fanservice" could be considered a character trait from a writer's perspective.  Or it could be that too much clothing constricts movement.

Saying Dragon Age 2 is becoming a game "where girl characters are always dressed skimpily" is simply wrong.  It isn't and aside from Morrigan or Isabela, there's very little to suggest that is where Dragon Age, or Bioware is headed.

So the Mr. T necklace and boots up to her thighs make sense in hot weather?  Heh.

I don't really care now that I know that our PCs aren't going to look like that.  It's just... in a story-based game, having a neon sign flashing Fanservice is annoying.  And again, it's not any one thing about her, it's the combination of an impossible figure with rather ridiculous clothing.  But, she was made for the men, and as I discovered when innocently perusing Morrigan fanart, some guys get off on the look.  So now it's come out of cheesy fanart and into the game itself.  Progress for them, I guess. LOL

I've seen people walking around in bikinis even when they probobly shouldn't. Does that mean that they should not be allowed to wear what they feel comfortable with?

Decry all you want, but you can say that Fenris is a fanservice as well, or really any of the companions if you really try hard enough.
