Do not get me wrong, I love this game, loved the previous games as well. As a graphics and back in the day game designer too I understand the hard work and time it takes to put into something like this game. I understand how hard it is to please your audience and no one is more cruel than your fans.
I like the idea of DLC items, and like a previous posters said, as the player you do have choices to use the uber DLC items or not. I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth and I want Bioware to know how grateful and appreciative I am of having these things continually added to the game. But after so many years of the same feedback about the design and look of equipment (and character design) one would think that this would be a priority when creating new content. If you (general you, not aggressive YOU) are going to put time into creating something that takes a lot of effort and ppl are going to pay for it (or work in game for it) then make it hot, sexy and scream "I am a badass (insert class) and just looking at my armour is going to do some morale damage before I even get to the butt kicking part."
I understand that from a RP stand point Hawke as mage does not want to scream "Hey! In Your Face Templars!, look at my purty mage robes made out of gold thread and ancient archaic mage symbols!" but as a new member of the Hightown elite and her/his aspirations of becoming the Viscount of Kirkwall you would think that Hawke would be able to hire a tailor in town that could make some really impressive looking armour. Yes I side with the Templars (even as a mage) but only because the blood mages in Kirkwall killed my Mommy and they are nuttier than a ****** tripping on maple syrup. NOT because I want to be a Chantry priest. I do not want to look like a chantry priest and I think it is time Bravo did an intervention at Bioware and show the clothes designers how to make some kick butt looking armour. Just looking at Malcom's Bequest makes feel like I threw my grandmother's couch cover on because the wool is thick enough it might stop a sword.
I know the talent is there because all one has to do is look at the Champion armour, Flemeth's armour, Morrigan's clothes, Sebastian's armour, etc. why can't Hawke get some of that love too? Great stats, great looking armour, even better looking weapons.
I apologize if this is rather long-winded, it has been building for a while. I am not into the whole complaining scene but the nugget wand threw me over the edge.

Is that the reason why the in game items suck so that you can sell the better items? hehe come to think of it, maybe that's why there isn't any toolset either...
