The female version of the Warden warrior armour is both protective and more defining of Hawke's contours (as is the Champion mage robes). As is the rogue/mage version (which happen to be the same as each other).
Of course, mageHawke gets a lot of dresses, if that's the kind of femininity you are looking for. The starting apostate robes, Heavy Velvet Robes and their varients are quite form-fitting too.
Guardian of Enslain (sp? Rogue) and Robes of the Notorious Pirate (mage) look better on females than males too.
most feminine armor of the 3 classes?

All the warrior armor removes any feminine qualities female Hawke has and replaces them with the male body model frame. Huge no-no in my book.
Agree 100%. Never had a problem getting sleek-looking armor for the females in DA:O, but in DA2 the options are few and far between. It's just one more area in which choice has been removed from the player in comparison to the original game.

Which is more historically accurate than armor with built in boobs, which is A Bad Thing since having curves around the heart like that is likely to guide a sword right to it.
What a load of rubbish. If you are talking historical accuracy, then swords are simply not capable of cutting or piercing through solid metal plates, PERIOD. Once full-body metal armor evolved by around the 14th C, swords could only find their way in between armor plates (such as at the groin, neck, armpit, etc.). This is why entire martial combat styles were developed around this very purpose (see German/Italian longsword style... one of the things I study).

I don't think SurelyForth was referring to it in that sense. The presence of breast cups would weaken the armor in other ways, mostly through the large amounts of force behind a sword swing. The shape of the breast cups is more likely to deflect the swing into an area that is less protected by armor. Say, the very exposed neck (in Dragon Age-type armors, anyway).

I don't think we have to worry about realistic. Does no one run around with Isabela in the party?
For looks on female mages the retextured warden armors are nice. I also don't mind the female mage champion armor. The rest of the champion armors I do not like for various reasons.

That is utterly and completely false.

I didn't bring up realism. Someone else did, and I was responding to their erroneous statements about armor.
