It'll be here tomorrow. There there.

...whoever suggested to augment armor with pudding...just...wow. I've heard some crappy ideas but that...that...you know what I've heard worse it's still pretty damn bad though.
Pudding wouldn't even be good for fun time after the armor comes off. All that sweat would make it disgusting and sex retardant.
I personally don't want any difference in armor stylistics depending on gender. I'm not against feminine looking armors, I even like those, but again for both genders equally.
I think a lack of respect how women are treated in asians games or MMORPG's
Women?
Yes but she is the Kings daughter so she can build the armour to her body measurements so she would be more flexible when fighting.
She can also use pudding to soften the blows so I still see nothing wrong with that image.
Do you mean padding? I fail to see how a dessert would help in defense.
Yeah, I keep running out of likes too. :/ I wanted to like Hinata's response.
Hinata, I like your response!
Aw, thanks.

At least his arms are safe?! ...... Know where he is vulnerable at.

Oh ooooh now I feel stupid for not realizing that.
Pudding, padding, bedding, breading.
Id assume majority women can fit in regular armor to be honest, and would prefer they do so.
Hehehe... For some reason this is conjuring images of armor custom made to fit all those beer guts and man boobs that real life guys have!!

Oh, I thought he was wearing like the Greek armor that had the chiseled muscles.

Yeah I just realized that. XD thought it was a troll for a sec. The thought of someone putting pudding on under their armor is hilarity though.
Brazzers.
Thanks I was on the right track then, just mispelled is all.

Yes, that is what I was thinking of too.
Oh, I thought he was wearing like the Greek armor that had the chiseled muscles.
XD it's good for leering at at least. But hey if I could get armor that looks like that in DA 
I totally had my Skyrim archer running around in fur armor (chestless version) didn't help against giants (then again if I was close enough for giants to hit me I was in fail territory anyway) but he looked damn good in it. Even if he had to run screaming behind Lydia everytime something got too close. Even Skeevers D:
Lydia in heavy ebony plate, with a ebony shield with my squishy breton archer hiding behind her. That must've been quite a sight to his enemies XD (and when I got locked in those rooms with the draugeur hordes. I ran screaming til I found the release switch.)
The pudding is inside and the armour is on the outside
whoosh
Oh, I thought he was wearing like the Greek armor that had the chiseled muscles.
I could see where you got that idea at.
I need to combine these posts a lil more me thinks......

And he's actually an absolute boss, despite the criticism "Onion Knights" get. The curved parts make parrying easier.
Spoiler
That is too awesome, I nearly laughed myself off my chair.

I want like my avatar for a mage pc:
Spoiler
perfect work.
The only way I agree with this is to make it optional and all the armors available to all genders. Otherwise....
No.
Regarding this topic, I'm of the school of thought "artistic license has to end where function would be adversely affected". There are genres where "form over function" is an accepted design feature, and that's ok, too, but classic fantasy stories that take themselves somewhat seriously are usually not of that kind. That includes DA.
So I'm all for our female characters and companions looking good in their armor (as well as the men, but that has never been a problem), but there are some things that forbid themselves. Here's a list of such things which usually appear even in art that avoids open sexualizing:
The greatest offender: heels. I always feel like banging my head against the next wall when I see those on what's supposed to be a combat outfit.
Next offender: uncontained long hair. Having helmets that make the hair vanish from the models actually makes sense, and that we usually don't have long hair on women in games at all might be regrettable in general but because of that we don't run into the "long hair in battle" issue and that's good. Circlets are acceptable for a skirmisher type but in addition to that, any hair that would be long if uncontained has to be plaited and rolled up or something similar.
If there is a separate civilian outfit for a character, long hair can be part of that, but not the adventuring outfit.
Next: ankle-length skirts (including mage robes). Among other things, a recipe for stumbling at the worst possible time. Not just fighters, but any adventurer-type should avoid them since they're liable to pick up mud on top of their impracticalness for running.
There are more examples, but these are the main features I would NOT like to see on female protagonists and companions.
Edit: ugh DP let me put something productive hear.
SWTOR annoyed me in how the jedi top looked normal on dudes then became a sports bra on females. Either have it be skimpy on both genders or no. Not this half assed females get skimpy version males are fully dressed BS.
And for me, this is one of my favorite tops for one my SWTOR characters.
Not all of them, but once in awhile I like having a character that feels she's so good she can wear something to distract the opponent. One of my wardens loved the Dalish armor one didn't. I really hope they have some variety. So i can bring something different into each game.
I don't even mind the bikini chainmail sometimes as long as the guys have some skimpy armor to go with it, though actually some of the armor i've seen for guildwars would be my style. 
Yeah, but both are bad compared to say, cassandra's armor
If you had a goddess to assist in never loosing, like Red Sonya 
this armor would work. But without the extra edge I'm not so sure. I have all 6 or 7 of the series form the 80's. 
Retour en haut
