I would hope so. I try to change armors to ones I like looking at but end up reverting to different one that is the best one. Glad that wont be the same in Inquisition. I do like changing her clothes/armor in game.
I did with femshep often too.
Could we please see more of the Lady Inquisitor?

Any gendered coloring issue shouldn't matter if the game lives up to its promises about crafting and dyes. I haven't forgotten the Pinkquisition.

What kind of trailer would you guys want to see, if another one was made? I personally think the most recent one ("where is your Maker now?") was the most powerful one they've done for DAI, and I'd love to see something equally epic starring a female Inquisitor.
I like to see a trailer with the human female Inquisitor without her helmet on with long hair. Have a scene showing where she is being overwelmed by the enemy and just as you believe she is about to be ended, the trailer goes fade-to-black saying DAI coming out Nov 18.

I will most likely choose armor that will give my femquisitor the best protection regardless of how it looks as well as being flexible so it doesn't slow her down when in combat
With my femshep I tried different pieces of armor, more to what class i was playing to boost her specs and with the color of her armor, I always went with black because the other colors felt out of place. I couldn't see femshep with blue armor in the middle of combat.

I always liked the dark blue for Shep. Bit of style without being stupidly garish.
In DA though, I've always just gone for stuff that looks good without being totally impractical. Unfortunetely, that has typically ruled out most of the late game stuff, as Bioware tends to have a habit of going a bit OTT on things like plate armour (as well as weapons...). Fortunately, in DA2 there was a mod that made everything scale with level, so I could pick and chose the best loking stuff from throughout the game without worrying about it not being good enough.

I'm hoping the crafting in DA:I will mean I can make some nice looking gear that also provides the best protection or at least that we can change the colours of the armour.
With Shepard, I picked the armour that best suited the class I was playing her as, but I enjoyed being able to customise the colour of the armour. Mostly she rocked black with red trim, but the odd time I added white or purple trim.
I'd like to be able to do that in DA:I.

One with the male inquisitor fighting the female inquisitor in an epic show down type duel, ending in a cliche running forward final rush, and ending with "Which will be your Inquisitor!"
Yeah I'd go with that as an ending a quite perfect one acutally. But before the daul and charging or maybe during the each inquisitior is sizing up the other (both with helmets off so we can clearly see one is male and the other is female) with close ups of their face (and no male gaze) we see flash backs of each inquisitoner fighting off huge beasts (clothed cuz I know the ad departments going to go we need a naked one!) both have epic solo fights againts multiple enemies (maybe at the same time) its basically showing each going through hell and trials before this moment then we come back to the pair ready to do battle agianst one another and charge!
Its important to note this trailer is about them as strong, capable people not about any of the npcs.
To help make it even clearer that we can be a woman or man maybe even go about talking maybe when you're on her battle shots talk about how you can customzie her swords, armor, species and when you show him state how you can customize his hair, and voice when you show them both state how you as the inqusitior (implying you can be both) will create and lead the forces against the enemy then ask who will you choose to lead them? As you black out before their swords connect.
Maybe she should be the warrior class and he the rouge as if this stratagy would be done the ad company would say make him the warrior (and implied stronger) and she'd lucky to have a sword so I'd like them both with swords, kick ass armor, and basically look wise both would be lethal. Her being a warrior class (maybe showing off that DLC flame sword) and he showing off the rouge (maybe flame or other sword set) maybe he launches a bow first then pulls the daggers out this would accomplish the message best of they're equal in strength, agency, dexturity and as protagonists.

I'd really like to see "What will your Inquisitor look like" and then show an inquisitor morphing into different options, different races, genders, classes and things like hair, beards, some outfits. Show me what we can do,
We had this concept in a trailer for DAO, prior to release, and it was very effective. I wish we had more of such trailers per BioWare game, to emphasize the customization choice of protagonist being in the player's hands, and the diversity possible.

Another suit!!!!! Gaaaaaaah..... throws self off cliff... I'm so done...
This had better be optional, we had better be able to wear something else... Maybe like Josephine has over there or something... I think that's at least a skirt or something she has on... There's at least some feminine detailing on Josephine's outfit. I swear this game is going to make me jealous of my companion...
I have no problem with women wearing suits, but I don't, I hate them... Well I do, but when I do, I wear a dress skirt with mine.
I'm so frustrated... Told constantly by people, we don't mind dresses and girly things, as long as it's not armor, as long as the armor looks exactly like the generic guys armor. Fine, uniforms, got that, is a military job. But then when we actually DO get to the parts of the game where our characters can dress up, wear dresses, and if they are feminine in their off hours, express that side of themselves, we are instead put in some stuffy suit, or weird pajama looking things... I understand not every girl likes pretty dresses, and some abhor wearing them, and would rather wear suits, but there are women on the other side of the spectrum that feel the exact same way about wearing suits and lots of generic gender neutral outfits.
I'm so tired of this game's developers deciding my character is a suit wearer. Especially if they're going to do it while turning around and having NPC women all around me wearing dresses, and more feminine outfits. If all women wore suits in the game, if it could be explained away as, just how women dress in this world, I'd be ok with it, I'd accept it, it's the way the world is.
But that's not the case, I see women everywhere in dresses, dress like outfits, ect, but the one person not allowed to wear them is the PC. I'm stuck in a pants suit, every time, without fail. Worst part is, my dwarf noble can sell the dragon armor, buy some women clothes that are meh, but at least dresses and feminine, but no matter what we lose them because you get stripped and put in peasant clothes and thrown into the deep roads. Never to be able to buy them again. A terrible tease.
If I can't wear a dress instead, I'll scream. Seriously I'd rather wear my generic armor than that suit.
My issue with armor is, if we wear the generic gender neutral armor, other than cut scenes, we can pass just as easily for a slender man as a woman. I've spent too much of my life fearing passing to be put in a position where my avatar is ambiguous 80% of the game. Most of the outfits I've seen so far hide the feminine form and we are stuck with short hair because of graphics issues or something. The only thing showing us as female at a quick glance is our ridiculous exaggerated walk... which we aren't typically doing anyway as we run everywhere. Now some hair styles might be obviously feminine if put up right to give the illusion of long hair, and I'll likely have to make due with that. But the generic gender neutral, form covering armors are so neutral, it hides most feminine qualities.
Now this is not to say there's anything less female about a girl with short hair who wears gender neutral clothes. That, however, is not the real issue here. Same as there's nothing wrong with a guy with long hair. I've been that guy with long hair, and if I was shaved, I'd get mam'd all the time. When you see long hair from behind, unless the person has a very masculine form, the quick casual glance defaults to female. (Heck with long hair I got mam'd to my face. So long hair being so helpful to passing, kind of a big deal to me. I have a strong sentimental attachment to it, and is a big part of my identity)
Same as wearing generic heavy armor and being short haired, defaults to male at a casual glance. For someone for whom having a decidedly female character, that does not fail to pass at a casual glance, this is frustrating as all heck.
Is not like I can tie my hair up in game with a ribbon, or put ribbons on my armor, or well anything at all to make it so there's little question at a casual glance the gender of my character. I mean really look at how many people keep asking to have the female inquisitor take her helmet off so it can be more clear she's a girl. That demonstrates pretty clearly how gender ambiguous she looks with that helm and armor on.
Once again this is not saying there's anything wrong with people that do not care to scream their femininity in their, outfits, or dress, or hairstyle. It makes someone, no less a woman and no less deserving the respect of such. Not every girl is happy with that, however, and to me, being able to express my feminine side is a big deal because I spent large portions of my life in shame, hiding that side of me. The game with it's suits, it's form covering gender neutral armor, and insistence on short hair cuts, forces me to play a character who seems to literally shy away from anything traditionally feminine instead being as gender neutral as absolutely possible.
Again there's nothing wrong with gender neutrality, and there's really nothing wrong with men in more feminine clothing, or women in more masculine clothing either. It's all a part of how a person self identifies. I identify with more girly type things, and shy away and avoid gender neutral things on principle and for my personal comfort and well being. I feel better, more confident and more comfortable the more feminine an outfit makes me feel. I also feel worse, less confident and less comfortable the more gender neutral or masculine an outfit makes me feel.
If I could have long flowing hair, the armors wouldn't bother me as much, because by experience and association, it makes me feel more feminine and helps me feel comfortable. If my armor has qualities that demonstrate feminine qualities at a casual glance it helps me feel more comfortable. If my character's casual outfit is more feminine in nature, it allows my character to feel more like an extension of myself, and thus makes me more comfortable.
It's not a matter of me trying to make things unrealistic when I ask for things to have more feminine qualities, nor am I asking for overwhelmingly feminine options. I'm willing to share, even be the minority of outfits. I'm just saying I need stuff that's distinctly feminine in nature, at even a casual glance, or I can never get truly comfortable in my character or enjoy her like others do. Especially when it comes to my character's casual wear. As that defines your character in their off hours, when they're letting their hair down as you will.
Also I'm aware that pink has not always been a girl's color, I've seen nobles and kings in those garish pink pantaloons of theirs
. It has, however, been long enough that calling it traditionally a female's color is not wrong in the present tense. Has been that way for more than enough generations to do so, and like the long hair thing, at a casual glance, pink envelopes the mind with a distinctly feminine impression because of our culture. That being said is nothing wrong with a man wearing pink, and is becoming more accepted as a gender neutral color. Does not change that it as well as some other colors feel more feminine because of how they fit into our culture currently and has been that way for awhile now.
As for the unaboob or whatever it was called. Armor designed with a man's body in mind is no better for handling a woman's breasts if pronounced than that armor is. Either way there's going to be issues of squeezing and discomfort. Unless the armor is designed for the woman herself and is a personalized set. It will still not be identical to a mans (At least the "unaboob" won't be causing that discomfort once it's in place". This is of course presuming an ample bosom, which not all women have, in which case armor is armor and the breasts are not an issue in the first place. Either way, I was stuck with the options in the game I was using to build these to try and put something together and felt the designs on it worked best.
As for the purple being too bright, it was far less bright than some of the reds and blues traditionally used. The only reason it was more glaring is because is not a common color you're used to seeing with armor and thus it stands out.
If you meant the pink armor set. Yes the pink was silly bright. But people like having ALL white armor sets, so I say is the lesser evil there.
At least the pink was just the armors highlights. ![]()

That's because you're fine with wearing suits. I am not, for multiple reasons. Clothing is a big part of people's self identity. If I wear a suit it has a skirt. Same as some girls don't like being forced into dresses, some of us feel the same about being forced into suits.

I always fine it strange when games with customization options have advertising that ignores those options & make it seem like the MC is a set male character that can't be changed

That's true. And if there's options in between casual wear I have no issue with dresses and such options. But if there's only one option I'd rather it be something like that suit. It's attractive enough to my eyes and does not hide the fem PC's figure.
Have the devs even said we have options between what to wear in skyhold that's not armor?
I guess I'm just annoyed that the suit (which...really is a lovely suit looking at it.) is being decried as masculine because it's not a skirt.

Choice would be nice, but I don't mind suits. I don't wear them myself, last business suit I wore was in a military parade in Honors.
Female and males actually are noticeably different to me in armor, so far I can tell the difference, maybe cause I can tell male and female soldiers apart as I was one. No idea...I think that is why....
Anyways, I am sure the armor will allow different colorings as weapons can change colors. Styles change as well.

The telling the person was female was the armor, not the suit. The suit was disliked for different reasons.
I'm also tired of people acting like saying something is more feminine is an insult to a female that likes something else. You're taking away the ability to even describe the desires of a person who likes dresses, bows, flowers, and other thinks that are usually defined as feminine. Do you all have a better word for liking the girlier things that won't offend you if you don't like them?
I also NEVER said the suit was masculine. But a guy could wear the same exact same suit and no one would blink twice. It's gender neutral not masculine. And while you can tell it's a girl, is still not feminine and girly.
As for why it bothers me, I'm told I'm not allowed to have girly things like dresses in combat, and all things must follow function over form in battle, but dresses are fine out of battle, but we get out of battle and bamf suits. So I'm backed into a corner where I'm forced into gender neutral with no ability to express myself or my character anywhere.

I can clearly tell my female characters are females even in massive armor. So I really can't sympathize with you on that front.
Nope but that's clearly me being tired of being called mannish cause I have the nerve to not like skirts. So I'm wrongly taking that out on you and for that I apologize.
It's a well embroidered (looks like anyway shoots blurry) form fitting suit.
No one said you weren't "allowed" merely they preferred the PC's armor not be girly for several reasons. As for backed into a corner jumping the gun a bit there don't you think? It hasn't even been confirmed there are no long hair options.

It's a matter of the last two games that's creating this paranoia... And to take a player who is into girly things, and force them into a suit and put them around a whole bunch of other girls all in dresses is just cruel. It's saying, hey you like dresses and pretty girly outfits? Look at everyone in their girly pretty outfits. But guess what, you're the PC so have a suit because it's so PC

I personally don't mind the suit - we have Isabella' style boots! - but I do hope there's variety in the casual clothes rather than a set outfit that we're stuck with in all our playthroughs.
I've modded all DA and Mass Effect games to give myself a wider choice of of what my pc can wear, stats are secondary concern what matters is a great looking outfit.
