Oh Well eh body slider isn't a big deal would be a nice feature for a future game.

I like how I post that image asking if that's what people who wanted female Qunari more muscular meant, and people completely ignore that and talk about the attire instead. 

 

Sorry Sasha, I like you, I really do- but this is a thread which has spent 90% of the time discussing the issues the women face in gaming and other media, and you posted a picture of a half naked potential Inquisitor, cocking her hip to the side and presenting her breasts to the viewer and asked us what we thought about her body.  I think that she's tall enough, and broad enough, if that's what you're looking for- but I think that I can't really judge anything else, since I would hope that her core is covered in game, and the picture doesn't offer us a clear view of her limbs and their musculature.

Of course I posted a half-naked female Qunari though. Can't get an opinion on musculature if they are fully armored, can I? 

 

But yes, that was what I was looking for. I was curious if that was muscular enough of a torso for those who wanted them to be more robust.

Not to mention someone very toned and muscular with very little fat anywhere else isn't going to have large, perfectly round, gravity defying breasts unless they're implants which as far as I'm aware Thedas hasn't invented yet

It could always be.... BLOOD MAGIC!

Joking aside, I do like someone's idea that the Qunari have thick, rhino-like skin as an explanation for why they don't wear as much armor.

It's gotta be SOME kind of magic because there's no way those boobs would stay in those straps. For a photoshoot, maybe you could get by with no accidents, for combat? You might as well be naked because in combat (or running, dancing, etc...) that thing will turn from a "top" to a necklace in less than 3 seconds.

And possibly strangle her as well and even with support unless its damn good support (unlike in that picture) its going to hurt either way running around like that. My money's still on blood magic, it can be used to make breast bigger and blood mages can get themselves preggers if they can't produce with their partner

They can?

[HuldraDancer]

Not actual canon but according to this http://delicateroseb...g-Sim-284953186 it can happen and I like to pretend that my mage took a similar route.

That could make for a very entertaining mini-game.

 

Of course the gents would have a version involving a certain kind of "sock"....

[Blue Gloves]

Of course!  Didn't you that all blood mages are part nematoad?

OMG!  How did I never come across this before?!!?  It's freakin' hilarious!!!!

It really is, and it does a Sebastian romance ten times better than DA2 did, plus how can you not try your luck with an insane blood mage at least once

Hands down best line ever- "Did someone call for a cockblock?"  Closely followed by "I'll follow you."

[robertthebard]

I didn't say that- I simply stated that I don't think his attire is oversexualized or offensive- just imprudent.  I think anyone planning on melee combat who doesn't take basic precautions- like guarding against superficial cuts which can distract you during combat, cause a lack of focus and other issues due to sudden (if mild) blood loss, and can end up leading to less superficial wounds- is sacrificing rather a lot for vanity.  I personally think IB's design kinda falls into the half-naked-barbarian-berserker trope, to be perfectly honest, but I thought that about most of the Qunari in DA2.  I mean, why did Arvaraad wear a helmet?  He didn't even have a shirt!  Surely any competent opponent would just aim for the heart, ribs, or guts?  All a helmet could really do is impair vision.  However, its not my game, and DA2 set the precedent for scantily clad Qunari warriors, so the most I'm really looking for is a lack of overt sexualization for no other reason than to be eye candy.  I think the female Vashoth in the fanart is sexualized for no real reason other than to be sex-ah- and so I pointed it out.

The more you know: In medieval times, some cultures went to war naked. Did you ever see 300? Did you know that the armor is authentic to the time, including some of the not so armored Persians? I get that you want to comment on "oversexualized", but lets not confuse that with authenticity of armor. In the screenshot, yeah, I don't think I'd go out of my way to procure that armor for anyone, but frankly, if she put on some pants, and went into battle topless, it wouldn't be inconsistent with reality, it has been done before, out here in the real world, although it has been a few centuries for some. The reality is, some people couldn't afford, or weren't allowed to own armor, or weapons for that matter, particularly, the invention of things like kamas, which are adaptations of farming implements for cultures where owning a sword would get them killed outright. When the bandits raided their villages, or tyrannical governments(but what's the difference really)they didn't shout: Wait, I have to go put my armor on before I can fight.

I stand by my assertion that full plate was invented by Europeans that didn't want to break a nail during combat, and that means the men.

[Foxhound2020]

I am actually surprised of what I have been reading recently in here. Some viewpoints are confusing and other seem just wrong when it comes to sexuality.

 

I would say this much.

To assume something is offensive, objectified, or just wrong because it has sexualized traits would be the real act of sexism.

 

No one should be ashamed because the decided to dress sexy for an occasion and neither should anyone feel ashamed if there are depictions of sexuality.

 

It's kind of like claiming someone got raped because they dressed sexy. In this case it seems some of the arguments I'm feeling in here is that someone has been objectified because they are sexy. That's just seems like a horribly sexist perception even if it comes from a female.

Qunari somehow related to dragons. And they don't wear much armour or non at all probably because they come from hot region.

 

And this is pretty funny.

In previous games the Inquisitor could take his/her clothes off anytime. So technically, you would see everything excluding his/her private parts. On the topic of sexualized clothing, I usually like to point out a couple of things:

• I fail to see how sexualization is demeaning to a character. Yet again, is just an expression of his/her experiences and/or personality. Plenty of people "sexualize" themselves by choosing to dress as far from conservative as possible, and that goes for both genders. For all we know, that picture was drawn by a woman (although I agree the opposite is maybe more likely). Isn't saying that sexy=bad kind of offensive toward people who like looking sexy, again from both genders?
• The practicality issue. I pointed out in some other thread that historically, many groups when to battle with very little if any armor. And quite often, this wasn't a matter of armor not being available, but a choice not to wear it. The most extreme example are the Picts, who had both male and female warriors who went to battle naked. The Romans never were able to conquer the naked barbarians nevertheless, despite having the best army of their time. How embarrassing.

You think this embarrassing.

Spartans did wear armor except those few that couldnt afford it cause they was farmers.

Celtics/barbarians have armor, but didnt start out so some didnt have armor, later when leather got around they covered more

[Gwydden]

Celts, barbarians (that fought romans) and other ancients covered their chest area.

Ahem, ahem.

 

Sure they did. Just not all of them.
