I want armor that is practical. You want us take your world seriously, Bioware? Make your world wear practical clothings is a great start...

So in a game with dragons,elves,dwarves and magic  it's armor design that kills it for you?

Just as long as there are plenty of armour types that allow the player to at least pick and choose what best fit their preferred style (why I like player made armours.... variation).

A big one cloth physics, static or stretching cloth that has a plastic texture = ugly.

I would like some realistic armor options.

But I'd still like to keep some of the more hardcore fantasy/unrealistic armors too.

Now this guy I like.

I'd at least like the female armors to be practical and not have boob plates. Here's a good example of a female in armor who takes part in Europeans swordsmanship competitions.

For the Player Character or NPC's as well? You get, for a lot of people, a strong feeling of 'dissonance' if you mix pseudo-realistic visuals with some exaggerated / heavily stylized designs. If it's just the player character, well, that's up to personal taste I guess. But money being finite, there may be a risk that the range of options each for people of 'pseudo-realistic', 'over the top' and 'somewhere in between' will be too small to be really satisfactory for anyone.

I'm probably going out on a limb here, but I suspect that most 'extremists' will be satisfied with pseudo-realistic armour that looks sufficiently intimidating and / or pretty, while the 'realists' will totally reject the opposite.

In both cases, great gameplay and/or story may lessen the hurt, of course .

(Not that I expect DA:I to be 'pseudo-realistic'. It's a bit of a mix so far, it's too early to tell where its place on the sliding scale of pseudo-plausibility is going to be)

I just don't want to see stuff like this:

Is it just me, or is that armour about to take off in the direction of the stratosphere? 

Why is this guy standing on his toes? Is he a ballet dancer in disguise?

anime/JRPG armor tends to have high heels. For males too.

[Zazzerka]

Man, she looks hot even without the boobie-plating. She's rockin' Flemeth's gauntlet, too.

Since everyone has been posting pictures of male armor, how about some female versions?

Meredith?

Ahh the one time I decide not to backtrack a few pages.

Best Bioware Armour Ever. So let me wear it for more than the prologue this time.

Generally I like my armour to be simple and look like steel rather than be some other colour. Shiny is good though.

Oh god yes, I was in love with that armor, first Dragon Age two disappointment in the first playthrough.

[Das Tentakel]

A few additions. More as examples what can be done with a bit of colour (surcoats and decorated tunics and gambesons) and fairly moderate (and occasionally not so moderate) amounts of armour decoration.

I have no expectation of anything like this appearing in a DA game, but it's nevertheless nice to see how varied armour visuals can be, yet still be wholly functional (okay, one might want to ditch a cloak in battle. Or use it as an improvised shield).
However, a very important thing that I suspect has to be 'cracked' before we can get a wide variety of beautiful-yet-plausible armour is physics. Until cloth, chainmail and plate don't broadly behave as in real life, we'll always get stuff that is simultaneously unnaturally 'stiff' and 'stretchy'.

Late antiquity:



4th century Roman heavy infantryman



(A 4th century Roman commander at Noviomagus, the Imperial frontier near the Rhine)



Persian Sasanid cataphract

High medieval:



(the knight above is female, by the way)




(even if these are lightly equipped, the colour makes a big difference compared to ‘brown is real’ armours)











Erm...hello?



But all I wanted to do was ask for directions!



Late medieval:





















And here's a really nice history / fantasy mix:









Edit:

Come to think of it, I rather like what Chivalry (have it, still have to play it...) has done with historically based / inspired armour...







I think I love their visual style anyway...



Historically inspired, but not a slave to it...

@ Das Tentakel, great post.

Simplicity in armor that works for both male and female:

Mages CAN dress in pants.

[luna1124]

^^Like these^^

[Merengues 1945]

N7 armor FTW!!

Blood Dragon armor return would be nice too... but the cool, fitting ME3 version, that one was quite nice.

In the end we will surely see a massive set for male and a diminute set for females (maybe just bra + skirt) with obscene stats on an overprized DLC.

[Sjpelke]

Exotic and colourful yet functional

 Going by this thing I found in tumblr:


I would like a salade for my warrior and a lobster-tail burganet for my rogue, please. 

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

 Hmm, for mages, from the Green Ronin Dragon Age RPG:

[Former_Fiend]

Wouldn't mind something like Skyrim's ebony armor, myself.

[General TSAR]

Reduction of breasts armor, it's goofy and impractical since an overly curved surface can't absorb the energy of a high velocity projectile without shattering.

[Arppis]

Warrior armor that doesn't look like a walking fridge. I'd rather have something bit more lighter looking.

[Boss Fog]

Something similar to this...

i liked Leliana's armor in the Sacred Ashes trailer



it could probably do without the sword shaped hole between her boobs, though
