Dragon's Dogma has bikini armor, but the stats aren't that great and you have to switch out for better armor eventually, which makes sense. "Yes, you can wear this but you'll die easier." XD
LOL me too.
I think it's because a lot of the armour in DA games looks kinda rubbish so I end up putting them in some skimpy thing because it's the most attractive looking outfit available.

Well, not to get all social sciencey, but if there were better representation of women in these games, just as many women in skimpy armor as regular clothes, then we wouldn't care who wore what. So, no, I don't think it's hypocritical. It's your game.Commander Kurt wrote...
That sort of freedom in DAI could lead to some... interesting results.
Still.. Am I the only one who is a complete hypcrite when it comes to stuff like this? I honestly like a game less if there are women everywhere in it wearing skimpy outfits, but I can't say I'd mind if they where male instead.
On the other hand, I wouldn't want ALL males in games wearing skimpy outfits (or even that many of them), and I probably wouldn't use revealing armor on male companions more than for occasional lulz..
What about you guys? Would you put Cullen in leather straps, high boots and a cape if you could? I know I'd at least try it out.. you know, for science.

Wow, those are some low hanging trousers for combat.

LOL I know. Outfits... and poses, which is part of why that Lara Croft thing is so funny. This reminds me of the Hawkeye Initiative, which if you haven't seen is a hoot! Artists putting poor Hawkeye in some of the same positions as female comic book characters.Commander Kurt wrote...

Wow, those are some low hanging trousers for combat.And I agree with the points you make. Honestly it would be so freaking weird if the tables were turned, and I don't get how the men making these games don't see how ridiculous it is to constantly put women in these kinds of outfits.
How on earth do you not see it??
Here's to some equal opportunity eye candy. Man oh man, can you imagine the mods that will emerge if Cullen is an honest to goodness companion in the next game? The armor above seems a good candidate... LOL

Unless you're looking for appearance mods, then there aren't any. Even something that changes his looks might be hard to find, I never tried.

I think what bothers people about the skimpy outfits, but you're okay at the same time if you put it on your character is because then it's your choice. Versus having, most likely, some man designer forcing your character into the outfit.
And it's usually the same argument of how they think they're catering to male gamers. Skimpy man outfits would definitely cause some uproar. Not that I'd give a sh!t. Bring them on, I say!
And damn I hope they bring back nudie cut-scenes in Inquisition. Bothered me how Anders and Fenris stayed dressed, but Hawke was in the undies, Merrill was in the undies, and Isabela's design shows lots of skin anyway. I want equal nudies. And the option to disrobe our companions again in the midst of battle for my amusement. Can't use mods for that on a console.

Lol, in Origins I always strip Daveth and Sir Jory just before the ritual, so I could sell their stuff to get more money. It's slightly disturbing and oddly funny to watch that cut scene with two naked recruits! I do the same thing with those two dudes in the tower that join the Warden and Alistair, strip 'em bare before lighting the beacon.
After my very first play through, I've always done this lol

It looks like Dark Arisen is a more enhanced version (not sure what that means, exactly). I found the answer to my PC question, it's only on Xbox and Playstation.

FYI if you don't have the game, buy Dark Arisen. It is the game + a new series of quests/levels. Plus items are cheaper.

Oh, don't get me started on the poses! I saw the hawkeye thing before, but it deserves to be posted over and over again. Can they make mods for frostbite though?

That could be part of it, sure. I don't mind the sexy at all as long as it's balanced. Morrigan's outfit didn't bother me, neither did Isabella's, but that's because they're the minority. In DD, most of the female pawns are not really dressed for winter and that makes me cover mine up because it turns the game into an oogle fest and I want no part of it.
I didn't know the nudeness in DA2 was different like that.

Soooo.. Yeah. If anyone gets it, it's recommended to just get that version.
And, yes! Nudies are different in 2. Can't take off them clothes, unless you're Hawke. If we could, I'm sure there'd be more naked in-game Cullen, and not modded versions.

I love the clothing in Dragon's Dogma. All that mixing and matching! I usually dress my character how I dress in real life. Mostly covered up and unisexual. And if available, more pants, suit, and non-skirt/dress options, though some are so attractive I can't help but want to wear them anyway.
I think what bothers people about the skimpy outfits, but you're okay at the same time if you put it on your character is because then it's your choice. Versus having, most likely, some man designer forcing your character into the outfit.
That's actually a good point!
And I drooled when I saw the wide selection of clothing. There are corsets! CORSETS. My Arisen is wearing a corset with raptor boots. Thank the Maker I'm done leveling her up for that ****, now I can finally run around with my magic bow wrecking havoc.
Skimpy man outfits would definitely cause some uproar. Not that I'd give a sh!t. Bring them on, I say!
Ohhh yesh please. It would be like watching Magic Mike again...

Skimpy man-bits.. The closest we got to that was this one set of Tevinter robes that I always put on Awakening Anders. If he would of had bewbage, they'd probably of flopped out mid-battle.
Back to the colouring.. I want more eye colours in DAI.
When I first played Origins, it was on a very old TV.
When we upgraded to a flatscreen and put in the HDMI cord, I was so excited to replay Origins. I thought to myself, "YES! I can finally see what colour my eyes are!!" And.. nope. I still couldn't.
I don't think it was just the lighting. They don't let you up and close enough to look, and it's also colour related. I thought too many of the eye colours were too close to the same shade.
I didn't think 2 was much better, especially with browns and hazels.
-Love- the eye colour choices for Dragon's Dogma. Can even give them 2 different coloured eyes!
My main pawn has one golden brown eye / one blue eye, and my Arisen has purple eyes.

My Arisen has black hair and ... I think blue eyes lol He's boring but he's cute. I love his ponytail. And his sassy hand-to-hip stance.
