I've come to accept how my mage looks in his Tevinter Mage's Robe+Libertarian's Cowl, though some of the robes have me scratching my head. Male mages in Chasind robes?

I want ROBES!! Like long flowing ROBES! And Hoods that go along with my ROBES! Then I can feel like a true wizard.

 


I vehemently disagree. I like that mages don't look like some recycled Gandalf. Are some of the robes unflattering, sure but then again I'm not sure fashion is the first priority. They have fur and feathers because a lot of the mage stuff (like the Chasinf Robes) are from barbarian tribes.

They've built a world that at least looks somewhat distinct from Generic Fantasy World and that is a credit to them.



i know it's a old topic but has i went through another playthrough.The armor simply look bad .. Very bad in general.Would you wear a pink t-shirt with a big carebear on it? It's called a sense of fashion and to look aesthetic good.

Now excuse me .. To be different i'm going at my job in my purple pajama with smurf on it.
Anyway ppl wear different thing for different occasion .. If you were to fight.You would wear some more intimidating.Its's called Logic.

they could have just recoloured some chantry robes which makes sense since the chantry governs the mages

Sorry for the thread necro, but I wanted to say a couple things I didn't read anyone else mention.  I also apologize for this being so long-winded.  First, designers of the world, don't ever put bikini armor in your games please.  (except maybe as a well-done gag.)  It looks, well, bland.  I have no problem with skin being shown, and I have no problem with sexiness, but simply showing more skin is not a good design for sexiness.  It's a lack of design.  The best examples of sexiness in fashion don't simply hack away cloth to expose more skin, but design the cut and color of the cloth to accentuate or attractively frame features.  This is my big problem with all of the "Sexy Armor" mods I've seen.  I don't really find any of them particularly sexy.  I find them reductive.  They're not sexy themselves, they just show more of the model and depend on the model for sexiness.

Second, I'm all for breaking away from classic fantasy tropes in the name of something new and interesting, but fashion is an odd place to do that in a game where your must visit your traditional allies of the dwarfs (who live underground, are a solid and traditional people and are skilled with stone and smithing and weak with magic), the elves (who are lithe, prideful of their culture, have powerful, ancient magics unknown to others at their disposal and are peerless with bows), and the magi (who wear robes and use staves, are generally weak in physical combat, study their art for years in isolated towers, and hurl lightning bolts and fireballs to lay waste to their foes) to defeat the darkspawn (an ancient forgotten evil lead by a demon [who also happens to be a dragon] returning after hundreds of years to destroy the land.)  I mean, honestly, after you've gone that far making the robes different just because you want to do things differently seems a bit odd.  Not that I mind, really.  I just find the lack of consistency in that regard rather humourous.

Still, I'm in the:  The robes, though sorely lacking in variety, weren't that bad for the most part, but yeesh, the helms camp.  Wynne never changed her armor in any playthrough were I didn't work for the Crows.  Putting her in tight stockings with exposed thighs just seemed wrong, and really, if I'm not doing that I've only one other option.  As I said, sorely lacking in variety.  I do think mage robes looked better than noble's robes, though.  Those were really blah.

When my character is a mage I always turn him into an arcane warrior, because I need that extra protection.
