Ok, I probably shouldn't justify the following post by responding to it, and I suspect that later, when I'm in a better mood, I'm going to look back at and cringe in regret...
But:

OK sorry guys. I had to go to sleep and couldn't keep up with this topic for a while.
There are several things I just want to point out:
I am NOT some prude/anti-sex/girls-have-cooties type of guy.
The opinions, and in fact, every single one of your posts on this thread scream otherwise, but lets see what you've got.
In case you didn't learn it at some point in your life, there's something called "SUBTLETY". There's having a beautiful woman who is proud of her body and likes to show a little cleavage and maybe some tight clothing and than there's just all out breasts threatening to fall out of shirts and skirts that cover the legal bare minimum.
You must be talking about someone other than Isabela. Her boots go up to her thighs, thus she's not really showing much leg. And her top shows cleavage. But not as much cleavage as, say, a Bikini. So where's that put your stance on the Prude meter?
Also, what does that say about Isahella's character?
Oh, what a wonderful play on Isabela's name! Impressive, and with a slight religious bent to it too.
Hell. A place where evil dwells. a place where biblical seductresses go after they tempt the pious man!
And this whole "Oh, she wears that because it fits with her character" is SUCH B.S.!!! Stop Using it! You and I both know BW dressed up Isabella like that to sell a few more extra copies to those horny losers that "ooo! big boobies!" would appeal to.
What? Oh yeah.... the chicken-egg argument. What makes you think DA2 came before Isabella? It didn't. Isabela is the same sexually charged personality that she was in the first game (Where she appeared practically unpromoted). Bioware simply decided to have her dress more accordingly for her return.
Think about it for one damn second. You're really gonna dress up like that when your day to day life takes you in to such dangerous places?
She's a ROGUE. That's what they do. Dressing lightly is for BOTH, utility purposes (combat agility) and espionage purposes (to tear secrets from powerful people)
Does Isabella really want to walk around like that so she can arouse every single man in viewing distance? You know how much of an inconvenience that would be?
None at all. Most Aroused men typically don't have KILLING on their mind, and the ones that do will discover the other half of Isabela's wardrobe: her sharp weapons.... as clearly demonstrated in the video that has offended you so much.
.
Don't you think if that actually happened in the medieval times, a woman would'nt be able to walk past any village without having to fight off several rape attempts and other attempts by men trying to take advantage of her?
Which is why Bioware didn't make Isabela helpless.
Or maybe you guys don't care because you'd rather see a woman with "ooo! Big boobies! Soo hott!!" rather than have a character who has a little bit more self respect than that.
Just... stop. We all know the holier-than-thou tripe when someone preaches it to us.
Me though, I want to know how you've managed to reach the conclusions you have regarding Isabela's self respect, after just seeing a few screenshots and videos. I also question the maturity level of anyone who judges a person on absolutely NOTHING but what they're wearing. Kinda shallow to do such a thing, wouldn't you say? Then again, shallowness is a prerequisite to prudishness.
