I'm a female gamer and BioWare's designs are not offensive to me in the LEAST. They run the gamut between certain skimpy mage robes with a slit all the way up to the hip to walking mailbox-like heavy armor where you can't tell the character's gender. You can choose what do dress your characters in. Also guess what? There are women out there that don't hate their bodies or their femininity and would choose to show cleavage, have right clothes, etc...in real life. There is already a wide choice of styles, so you dress your character how you want and don't try to force your Amish ideals on other people.
This isn't about forcing modesty on anyone. This is about immersion in a game not being ruined just so some horny guys can jack it in the Deep Roads. It's about men and women being treated as equals. When men are given the choice between full strong effective armour, and long, mysterious concealing robes, and women are given the choice between a steel bikini and an armoured skirt, and a robe that does its best to highlight the breasts and hips, there's a bit of a problem. Obvious hyperbole here, but you should get the point. I'm not saying no sexualisation, some people want to be a sexy Champion or Warden for reasons of wish fulfilment or because that's what they're like in real life, and that's fine! Men and women can be sexy, they can even choose to have wildly inappropriate battle attire, but how revealing it is shouldn't be based on the sex of the wearer. Just maybe have a slider which lets you set how revealing the armour is for male AND female characters or something! But honestly, male and female battle apparel shouldn't really be so different. Fashion is a completely different matter.

Ah. Our glorious Era of people being offended for every little thing. Truly disgusting.
You seem more offended than anyone.

Even still, it was kinda rude.
I do not care if it's rude. I am tired of people looking for reasons to be offended by something. Gay, straight, bi, man, woman, I am truly sick of it.
That's life dude. Just roll with it. Calling it out everytime will not make it stop. It's just gonna ****** people off.
Maybe they have a reason to be offended? Look at it this way:
Men in video games:
Protagonists you want to be, (rare) love interests you would probably still want to be, antagonists you want to kill.
Women in video games:
Protagonists you want to ****, love interests you want to ****, antagonists you want to **** then kill.
Armours for men are things that will protect them or things that will make them look cool. Armours for women are things that will titillate men with nipple covers for the censors. Bioware did get a lot better between DA:O and DAII, it has to be said (with a couple of notable counter-examples, I'm looking at you Isabella, I know you're sultry but you're also very top heavy to have such balance and very exposed for a fighter) but it still wasn't perfect. And that's ok, we can acknowledge that some aspects weren't perfect without "betraying the game to political correctness" or whatever nonsense some people think is going on. This isn't a personal attack, but please don't just disregard everyone's feelings just because you don't want to hear about it. If you're that sick of it, don't come into threads with titles like this maybe?

Youre missing the point of this armor, her "revealing piece is normal, she's a young girl probably trying to attract men, go outside and you'll see that in most females no doubt about it, the chainmail is clearly just thrown on as improvisation when they were taken by suprise by the blight. when her armor upgrades the revealing portion is gone
Do you have a pic of her armor upgrades, because I don't remember it, and I can't find a pic.
You see the area that the middle set is highlighting? And these "most females" you mentioned, are they also fighting darkspawn and fleeing for their lives?

If I take issue with anything it's the female running or walking animations. Femshep's like an awkward tank, Femhawke sashayed like there was no tomorrow, they need something in between those two so we can get out of the uncanny valley of female movement animation.
Oh dear lord, the sachaying.
