DA headgear was always ugly. Between DAO's mage hats and various examples from all classes in DA2, the number of ugly designs was only surpassed by the silliness of the most extreme examples. Now, while there appears to be significant improvement overall and a few outright awesome designs ("The" hat), the default helmet exemplifies an unbroken tradition with its ugliness.

 

I do wonder....am I really so unusual that I can't understand why Bioware chose this helmet for their marketing campaign? I mean, I don't know which priorities went into its design, but "It looks awesome" was apparently rather low on the list. Or do people actually think it looks good?

 

The only reason I can imagine for a design like this is "It must be somewhat face-concealing as to not appear to prescribe an appearance, but at the same time not so face-concealing that the Inquisitor doesn't look human." And even within these boundaries, I imagine that a better-looking item could've been found.

 

What do people think?

Okay, bear with me, I think this could be fun. Internally, whenever we have big discussions about visual designs we came up with a rule:

 

You are allowed to say that something sucks IF you provide at least one alternative that you think is better. 

 

It helps to clear away the fog of vague personal opinion (or it can show that a dissenting voice has little to no taste and can therefor be ignored). It also helps to create a weather vane of the team's overall tastes and preferences. If you're down for playing along and following our rule, I'd be interested to see what everyone thinks works/doesn't work.
