I'd really love to see the breakdown numbers from DA:O's sales, if you don't mind. It would answer a question I've been asking people for months and months.My Avatar is a Lizard wrote...
I posted a link earlier saying of 2.7 million 1.6 million(i think) were sold on consoles, Of course there link for there source is now broken. And i'm sure i'll be able to find new numbers proving this for DA2 once it comes out.Yrkoon wrote...
Wildly off topic, but:I've heard this claim so. many. times. Almost as if it's common knowledge.My Avatar is a Lizard wrote...
most sales on DA were for consoles
I've yet to see a scintilla of proof to support this claim however. And an hour long google search produces exactly Zero breakdown of the reported 3.2 Million total sales of the game.
And by the way, as of February of last year total sales of DA:O were 3.2 million. If the 1.6 million console units number holds steady, then that would constitute exactly half the sales. And that would change the argument completely, yes?
I'll look for a breakdown but it's hard to find for a total and rather than intial release.

It's not that DA: O sold better on consoles, it's that it didn't sell at all on PC... I am sufficiently saddened by this fact. And salt has been added to the wound when I realize that not even my purchase counted

I don't. And anyone here would be naive in the extreme to think that simply putting a long loose-fitting robe on Isabela will be enough to silence the complaints made by the thread starter and people like him/her. We'd also have to completely flatten her chest and remove all her 'curves", then we'd have to rewrite all her lines and scrap every one of them that contains sexually suggestive statements. Then we'd have to go into the game and delete all Brothels (or at least all women in those brothels)
We weren't at all discussing how a woman feels, were we. We were discussing how she's portrayed.daywalker03 wrote...

You're being absurd (I think); I'm one of those "people like him/her" and it would be quite enough for me to cover her up better, since, in my opinion, being sexy doesn't have to be about showing off the female form. I'm sure there are plenty of women out there that consider themselves sexy but don't run around with their panties showing all the time.

I totally agree with you. Even as a heterosexual female, I love the aesthetic of the female form. I also prefer looking at portraits of female faces.Darth Vengeant wrote...
On another standpoint. I am an Artist and developing Photographer. My favorite medium is black and white photo with the female form. I think their is nothing more artistic and beautiful than the female body. The lines, the waves, the flow, the pale skin. You just have to look with different eyes than the media and society mindwashes people with.

Yes I have, and I agree.
Ever had someone try to stab you? I'm betting you'd want as much protection as you can get.
I'd be fine with Isabela wearing her usual outfit in down time . . .taverns, at home, etc. I don't mind it as an outfit in general, I'm not offended or bothered by her body or her outfit.
I just think, if someone's going into a situation where several people will be trying to stick sharp objects into your body, they'd want a little protection.
Pirates in the real world didn't wear very much leather, or any other kind of protection. Mostly 'cause they'd sink. So why should a pirate in this fictional 'verse be any different.
This pirate isn't on a ship anymore. So she won't sink.
And while I hate to bring this up anymore . . .she DID wear armor when we met her in Origins.

Why the assumption that people that don't like Isabella's outfit are afraid of seeing her breasts? Some people simply don't like the idea of her fighting in that outfit, and feel it's more appropriate for a room in an inn.
Except that it doesn't keep track of digital sales, where Dragon Age put some pretty heavy tracks for a few weeks.Maria Caliban wrote...
That's because it didn't track PC sales but console sales. However, if you take the total number of sales and then subtract the console sales, you have an approximation of the PC sales.

I appreciate more what the artists are trying to do now that I've seen Marian, Isabela and Merrill together. Marian- I love love love her athletic-but-feminine figure. With isabela, you can see they went for a curvier figure, though kind of top heavy. Merrill is extremely thin. I think the two extremes were exaggerated a little too much. Overall, though, I'm pleased with how the female models have turned out.
I still think Isabela's outfit is ridiculous. Trashy, sloppy and totally inappropriate for someone doing flips and fast moves, from the constricting necklace to the huge breasts that are barely supported and the panty shots. It will make it difficult for me to have her in my party, just as it was ultimately too weird to have Miranda running around in her catwoman getup. It was offensive to the eye, but not because I don't like the female form. It's just like a visual tic that keeps me from believing what I'm seeing.

And people would scream OMG BLACK MIRANDA.
Isabella is a seductress and her outfit reflects her character as do Fenris and merril's lack of shoes due to their elveishnes and Varrics over coat and chest hair due to his street smarts.
nah, let's forget this one . . . .

So, if you make a rogue Hawke, is he or she going to go pantless?

Actually, loose pants would be better than tight ones.
