Who knows. Mayber their chest muscles are harder than steel and the don't need any armour that would only slow them down. Maybe it's arrogance. Maybe it's tradition. Maybe they just count on their enemies being unable to do anything but swoon.
On a personal level, I have absolutely no problem with them running around bare-chested. No problem at all.

Replaying the second game, I have found it quite strange that the Qunari wear little armor. It seems strange that they'd use little and cover themselves in war paint and yet are the same race/culture to (presumably) invent cannons and gunpowder.
What are your thoughts?

I wonder if this'll continue in DA:I with the qunari pc's having the armors rendered on them having the top parts partially disappearing.The Ethereal Writer Redux wrote...

For DAII, I could justify it. They were shipwrecked and thus had to abandon heavy armor to swim for shore. They couldn't just pick up new armor also, as that would be taken as a provocation by the people.
But for the DA comics that continue the idea of lightly armored (and I mean lightly) Qunari, no I'm not a fan. I mean, if you just saw a shirtless Qunari in the streets, then that's one thing.
But an army of Qunari should be wearing armor when they go into battle. Especially since, in the Qunari wars, the Qunari were actually wearing armor.
So it's kinda a headscratcher.
Most of the Qunari, not to say ALL the QUnari, we have encountered so far, have been marines. So it stands to reason that the Qunari we have seen would fight lightly armored. Armor tends to sink.The Ethereal Writer Redux wrote...

It doesn't say the armour covered them completely, the could have shiny steel codpieces.

Great, that's an image I'm never, ever getting out of my head

Codpieces are those lumps that can be seen in the genitalia are of armors and medieval pants.Something like those american football protection cups.

not really, makes 'em easier to kill
Well, theoretically at least, a rhino covered in steel plating would be harder to kill, than a rhino without. Then again, Rhinos aren't really reliant on their mobility.JulianWellpit wrote...

What if they have rhino like skin ?

Yes indeed. You would argue that a sentient Rhino would probably see less purpose in additional armor, since its skin already gives it a natural armor. Therefore the development of armor in this sentient rhino society, would probably be extremely limited, since they would never have encountered the need.
