How many people have deliberately chosen not to use the Blood Dragon armor, to the point of completely foregoing the downloading of the add-on proper?

[casadechrisso]

I downloaded it just because it was there, but never used it in game. Just not my style.

[Seifz]

I used it for my first playthrough. It was there, so why not? The rest of the early-game loot was boring anyway.



On my second playthrough, I noticed that it was nerfed quite hard with the 1.1 update. I doubt I'll bother with it.

I've never used it. Just too ugly.

Sell it to the first vendor you encounter, it's a nice sum to start with.

[Jsmith0730]

I dunno why, but even if I take stuff out of my inventory, it keeps coming back. I trashed the book but it was right back next time I logged in. Kinda creepy. >.>



Call me crazy, but I prefer my goodies the old fashioned way: dug out of the bowels some dead monsters corpse.

I used it on my very first warrior. Part of the reason I scrapped that warrior and started another was because of the Blood Dragon armor. After a few levels I began to feel almost as though I were cheating. During the first Redcliff battle everyone died or went unconscious but my character, who fought off the last six Darkspwn by herself without needing to drink a health poultice.

I went back to an earlier save and went to Warden's Keep to get the Warden Commander Armor. But I lost 11 points of AR when I put the armor on. I didn't  think I wanted to continue using the Blood Dragon armor but it was hard to use other armor because I'd gotten so used to godly stats.

I disabled the mod. My current warrior has just gotten the Warden Commander armor and this time I was happy get it, as it's a nice upgrade from her steel armor (which is as it should be).

You know what really irks me is that, DLC armors are the only unique looking massive/heavy/elephant size armor there is..

Take the special armor you get from a certain mr wade, with that of a secret set of Tevinter armor that you find in a certain forest. Yeah...or the special templar armor given to their best of the best and the kings armor..how..creative..I mean just look at the forums, most warriors wear the exact same looking gear in their profile pics haha..

I do not use the armor myself simply because of the robocop helmet and the weird futuristic glows on gut area ..the devs went as far as to give NOBLES: YELLOW TEETH because of the era/technology back then but its ok to give an DLC armor this insane look that does not fit in at all haha..

Still truely thankful for it and not trying to be snide or a douche though

I think it's ugly so I never use it.

[Sgtmokeynads]

So much for playing an RPG for actual Role Playing then, huh guys.

So, in REAL life if your kevlar vest did not match your helmet or boots you wouldn't wear it?

Oh yeah, pretend war is about looking pretty, I forgot.

but yes I agree with all of you to a point, BDA is the worst looking but most usefull. So it comes down to who is vain and who is not.

Ok so someone not wanting to wear this crazy futuristic looking armor because it does not fit in with the rest of the game is appearently not role playing. Although I do agree if some people do not use it because they truely find it UGLY then your point is entirely valid

Although all armors look the same with the blood of your enemies
+rep to persistent gore.

I was getting at the vanity point. But if it is a true role your playing then you should be useing the best weapons possible no matter what. I think it shows a lot when I see some kid playing a game and not useing armor with great stats, because it doesn't look as cool as his shinny aluminum foil hat.

[Apophis2412]

I just sold it. It did feel weird when my Dwarven Commoner was wandering through Dust Town carrying several sovereigns.

Huh? For me twinking and ensuring you've the armour with the best stats, regardless of how it suits your character is the opposite of roleplaying.

You're a Grey Warden battling your way through darkspawn.
You're not a model battling your way through the coverpages of GQ and Maxim.
Not choosing the armor that affords the best protection is the opposite of role-playing.

I'm also (in my case) a loyal circle mage who agrees with the Templars methods of guarding against what happens when Mages misbehave. So another set of armour suits the way that characters concept better than random dragon armour.

If you're playing your character soley as a Grey Warden just out to defeat the Darkspawn then maybe that armour suits your character better, but the way mine has developed through the choices he's made another suit of armour feels more right to him. After all he was a circle mage far longer than the faintly hilarious shortness of my Grey Warden career.

I agree with Zibon as well, it sorta cheapens the experience when you just get handed it rather than having to kill some epic creature or solve some quest to achieve it. As a player I'd prefer to use armour I fought and worked to achieve (if only I could remember where I left it  )

This is what I did. I'm using Shale as my tank for this playthrough anyway, so it was basically 7g for free.

[Mordaedil]

If the Kevlar was bright pink, you're damn right I'm going to throw it out if I am expected to fight in urban warfare.

Preferring the "Drop Dead Gorgeous" routine are we?

But true, the armor is pretty ugly, and not worth it compared to the other stuff you can find.

[Zibon]

The problem with these DLC items is that it throws the risk/reward of the rest of the game completely off balance. When you already have the most powerful items there is little motivation or sense of reward for completing tasks or finding "good" items.

They have the exact same effect on gameplay as cheating.

Your idea of "roleplaying" is entirely different than mine. 0.o

You're saying that roleplaying always involves using the best gear? That is powergaming to me.

Roleplaying, to me, is simply this: creating a character and playing the game in character, as an actor plays a character in a play. True roleplaying, to me, has nothing to do with stats. It has even less to do with gear - unless that choice of gear is governed by my character's personality.

I agree with Zibon too, as a player it seems to cheapen the experience being handed such armour for doing basically nothing ingame. More fun gutting something epic to achieve it IMO.

It's not vanity at all. It's an ****g game... a RP game. I roleplay a fantasy warrior, not a friggin cyborg.

I've downloaded it, but it looks atrocious.



I hate it. The glowing head-piece and the garish shoulder pattern look hideous. I prefer Tier 1 armours in terms of looks; even duster armour is better than that gaudy crap.

The Blood dragon set is far from being the most powerful armor set out there. BUT I do agree that they give it to us waaay to early in the game and YOU CAN rush for it but only a 2handed warrior can do this: its not as bad as you make it seem.
