There must be a LOT of adjustable straps and buckles to get the same suit of armour to fit a Qunari, Human, Elf and Dwarf.

Well, welcome to videogames.

It's no different than having a space marine being able to carry a pistol, shotgun, assault rifle, grenade launcher, and missile launcher.

[AntiChri5]

At least in ME 1 suits were restrictedto specific species.

Don't forget all Ferelden armor also has transforming parts that become sexxxy when a chick puts it on.

[OMG prt-scr]

Not like it hasn't happened in any other video games.

Wait, what, video games aren't real? What's next? No Tooth Fairy, no Easter Bunny?

C'mon man, adjustable armor isn't a whole lot different than flying dragons, and other FANTASY aspects of the game....

NO EASTER BUNNY? what???

Kerad, you just ruined my life.

It is, in fact, designer shorthand. The cost of NOT having "one size fits all" is that it would increase the number of in-game items by several orders of magnitude. This is also why party Inventory is the same for 1 character or four: it cuts down on how much programming needs to be done to differentiate between who has what.



You think that one-size-fits-all is questionable? Consider the fact that your Hero, all by his or her lonesome can carry

99 pieces of one kind of chest armor

99................................shields

99................................long range weapon

99................................melee weapon

99................................bomb

99................................health poultice

...........

(I think you get the general idea.)

[slash197]

I don't think any game but Arcanum had armor that wasn't "one size fits all".

C'mon people this is a GAME! Can't you differentiate what is a game and what isn't?

Why the big conversations =.-

Uh, "Different strokes for different folks"?  Some people would actually prefer more "realism".  Just because their preference varies from yours does NOT make you more "right" and them automatically more "wrong".

[AntiChri5]

Can't you guys see a light hearted, almost joking topic when you see one?



Anyway...to get serious, do you think restricted armour (as in Mass Effect 1) adds to or detracts from a game?

Hi welcome to the internet where it is more common to have people make a huge deal and fly into a rage over such small and minor things

 Sure, but arent video games supposed to "escape" from reality? Seriously, if people care too much about the "realism" involved in games, they will ultimately get as dull as real life :S.

I HATE that argument. Biggest cop-out there is in game communities.

To be precise, games (in particular RPGs) are meant to give you an opportunity to experience a different "life".  One where you are more capable than the Real World you.  Where you can experience environments that are totally alien to the real you.  Of course you have the option to mentally "check out".  [You see similar escapism wherever they serve alcohol or dispense recreational drugs.)

Just how immersed you want to become in the fantasy world is entirely up to you.  {Like some people stop after one drink, whereas others aren't "done" until they're passed out on the floor.]  EXCEPT that how immersed you can become is heavily dependent on how "realistic" the game is.  Every time you are forced to invoke your Suspension of Disbelief, the less immersed you become in that fantasy world.  If all you want to do is get all twitchy doing hack-and-slash moments, then any "realtistic" touches are a "waste" to your POV.  But there most definitely are others that would very much like to get lost in Ferelden, being Ser Praiseworthy for an afternoon.  And for them, things like one-size-fits-all and near-infinite carry capacity are jarring reminders that "it's just a game".

Like I said, "Different strokes for different folks."  Your view is not necessarily the "correct" view.
