I'm just hoping Bioware has enough in it's budget to make truly iconic collarbones and clavicles and won't have to cut elsewhere.
Early concept art for DA 3 male LI leaked!

Somebody needs to put foot to head on that artist.

I don't have anything to add, I'm just quoting it because I like all of it.Shadow of Light Dragon wrote...
I like the idea of custom bodies instead of generic.
I like that companions have their own ideas on what they wear.
I like the concept of NPC wardrobes (even if I may ultimately deplore what's in the wardrobes).
I applaud the possibility of getting new NPC armour via quests (just...hopefully not as utterly random rewards, as the Champion Armour pieces were. Urgh. >.<). If it's story-related, like Zevran's boors and gloves, all the better.
I don't agree that iconic armour is a requirement for visually recognising NPCs, nor do I believe it should be used as an excuse simply because it makes it easier for cosplay/art competitions/marketing or whatever. Until everyone's wearing full-face helmets or masks (hello superheroes with your cunning disguises), faces still exist. Even with Zevran's mangled elven DA2 visage everyone recognised him. He has lots of artwork based around him. He has cosplayers.
I don't subscribe to 'Players should be able to control everything in a game.' Heck, I don't even think all LIs should be available to any-gender PC.

But have you ever expected different for your party members when it concerns BioWare? They have always come with their own backstory, attitude, and character.MerinTB wrote...

I know you and I agree IWD gave us total controll. I like I could create my entire party, thier backstory, and their charater.
I also enjoy having charters that will interact with me and are their own person.
My perfect game would be to create my party like Icewind and have them be able to interact with me like they do in BioWare games.

Oh, I know full well that BioWare has never given me this. And that's also more the pity.
For all the attempts at their NPCs and party members having distinct personalities and interactions, and for as much as I enjoy that, I'd still rather have my party of six I make myself. *shrug* Or, better yet, a hybrid like Gateway to the Savage Frontier or Wasteland or Temple of Elemental Evil - where I make my party AND can pick up a few pre-gens with personalities and such.
Mr Laidlaw never made a compromise. A compromise would be how Morrigan was handled in DA:O. That way both the "iconic look" and the ability to use armor found in loot could be used. But no. Mr Laidlaw prefered the way DA2 was handled and refuses anything that remotely reminds him of DA:O. At best we get a second retextured companion armor. How about DLCs with more retextures? I am not interested in ME2 with swords and magic.addiction21 wrote...
It is such a fine line. ToEE love that game. I am not familiar with Gateway or Wasteland. Ya I know. I have heard a lot about them but they are like Disc World and Game of Thrones. I missed them in their prime and need to get around to them.MerinTB wrote...

To put it out there the visual aspect of my party mates has never been an issue. I am a performence over looks sort of person.
As far as what has been reccomended my Mr. Laidlaw that is a good comprimise for me. Well even DA2 wasnt that bad but being able to eauip them with helms armors as I want, including accessorires is a nice place for me.
Maybe I wille make it to wasteland and the other after this second heavily modded KoToR 2 playthru/

I believe BG limits you to just 20 arrows per inventory slot, and I was fine with that restriction, so I wouldn't have modded it.DamnThoseDisplayNames wrote...
Would't you break at least some of the rules of the game? Say, in BG1 you can only have 40 arrows in one inventory slot, which makes it harder to spam everything with bows. And EasyMod let's you stack 1000 arrows, and everyone seems OK with it.
How is that nitpicking? Of course players can change how the game plays by modifying it. That's the whole point of modding the game.Considering some armor can give unique abilities and everything, changing everyone's armor into full dragonbone when they inted to wear something different can change games difficulty.
But I'm just nitpicking of course.
Yes, but DAO accommodated you. Because you couldn't imagine why Morrigan would dress differently, you were allowed to keep her in her iconic robes.PanosSmirnakos wrote...
I must be in the minority of old-school RPG fans who found the iconic armory/outfits of companions in DA II as one of the few changes which was positive. For example in DA:O, I could not imagine Morrigan to wear something else than her "witch of the wilds" style of robes or Wynne to wear something else than "circle of magi" style of robes... and you get the point. I always tried to find gear which was close to the personality of each companion or find a mod which was about about a unique outfit for a certain companion, so the iconic looks of DA II party saved me the trouble and time to do that... As long as my character has total freedom to choose my own armory / weaponry, I'm satisfied.

The correct answer there is "the release date".David Gaider wrote...
I wanted that, too.
The artists looked at me with their sad eyes. "Do you really want us to create an entirely new torso with all those tattoos just for that one scene?"
"That's a stupid question. Of course I do."
"Sigh. Okay, what do you want to cut, then?
That's one of the reasons I like DAO so much. Changing a companion character's abilities, specialisation, class, appearance, gender, or even race is a pretty straightforward process.addiction21 wrote...

My relationship to Hawke is the same (or it should be) as my relationship to Isabela.

I'm actually impressed you answered the question, though I was beginning to wonder if you would.bEVEsthda wrote...
It's tempting to kinda assume the question is rethorical, and meant to make a point rather than meant to be answered. Still: The foundation of the name is that I wanted you to think of Bethesda. I chose that as a sort of childishly spiteful declaration that Bioware (since DA2) is no longer my favourite developer, Bethesda now is (of course, since I'm never on Bethesda's forums, but quite frequently here, that may not be the whole subconscious truth). The EVE capitalization is something I've often regretted, it stands out too much. But I didn't want to be completely confused with Bethesda. I wanted a visible difference. It was made in the moment and now I'm stuck with my name. But sure, if I now must change to Bevesthda? I'd be very cool with that. But wouldn't it be even more likely to be mistaken for Bethesda then?
I bear you no personal ill will and any perceived malice or disrespect you find in my post, I will blame on the difficulty of displaying tone in a text-only medium.We are, and your "distinctive look" is the same as our "iconic look." Somewhere along the way, people started ascribing much more importance to the word and blew the argument way out of proportion. I was never talking about our characters as pop culture icons known to everyone in the world instantly. I was always refering to them being distinctive within our franchise.I think we're fine on that point, as long as the reason for distinctive looks becoming iconic looks, that is enforced on me in my gameplay, is only due to resource management. Market and present your characters with your distinctive looks all you want.
No, but we also can't provide adequate explanations to every single person regarding what we have time for and what we don't, what we cut from games or what our original vision is, or how the game evolved between concepting and finaling. Our go-to response for why things are not as you want them will always be something like "inadequate zots," because a lack of time or resources is something everyone recognizes and can identify with.But this thing does change somewhat, the day there is no other reason, but you still don't allow me to fit armour #4, just because you think Isabela absolutely shall **** around in a short dress in my party, no matter what. In that case, the flavor of the game has changed considerably from BG and DA:O. Is the question - "What is it to you, how Isabela appears in my game?" - really so unreasonable to you? Do you hang over my shoulder?
You'll have to do it on your own, as that is not an officially supported feature, kind of like BG multiplayer or NWN persistent worlds. You can do it, and we're not going to whinge about it, but we're not going to help you do it. Customizing your PC is a staple of the RPG genre and it's one of the more universally desired features of an RPG. Players enjoy customizing their PC since it's "their" character, the one that represents them in the game (to varying degrees, depending on their play style). Different RPGs provide different levels of customization, and it doesn't seem to matter how much customization there is, as long as the PC can be customized, players seem to be satisfied. That is, sales and enjoyment of a given RPG is not solely dependent on the level of PC customization.Let's start with: Why do you allow us to customize our avatar? And why do you allow us to customize our player char?
No. As much as the internet would like to take the easy out and assume that anything I don't talk about is necessarily gone from future games, this is not the case. I will talk about the topic at hand. Just because I don't talk about inventory, doesn't mean that inventory is affected or not affected in future products. Just because I refer to Hawke as he does not necessarily mean that we will only allow male PCs in future products.And is your question a hint that this practice will cease in the future? Maybe next time we'll be forced to play default Hawke? Would that have greater marketing opportunities?
This question has been asked a lot, but not when talking about NPCs. Many people have asked this in relation to the prevalence of manShep and manHawke in our marketing and why can't we ever see femShep or ladyHawke on the game box or in advertisements or promo videos. This is changing, however, with the recent contest to vote on iconic femShep.Surely a recognizable Hawke is even more important than party members?
