I agree that some people seem to have more of an issue with seeing nudity then violence. I still don't get how what I said is "American Standards" though. I maintain what I said, the primary focus of the game after the story is the combat(heck, some might even say the combat is more important).
Neither Morrigan or Isabela are dressed revealingly though. If those are the sorts of outfits you are talking about I have completely misunderstood what is being discussed. Both of those characters as I remember, are pretty covered up. Perhaps we are talking different levels of "revealing" here.
Anyway, I just don't want the awesome plate armor I use on my male warriors turning into some nonsense on my female characters.
What I mean when i say "American standards" is the things that are okay and not okay on American TV are BACKWARDS from most of the rest of the world. Take for example Sailor Moon. When it was released in Japan in the 70's, it was marketed to 12 year old girls as the target audience. When it came to America in the 80's it was marketed to that same age group, but it was heavily edited because it was seen as highly inappropriate for young girls of that age. Then, as I already said with movies and tv we are far more okay with violence than with nudity, whereas most of the rest of the world is the other way around. That's what I mean by American standards.
As for Morrigan and Isabela, the level of revealing isn't the point, the point is that players are much more limited to full body covering whereas NPCs like Morrigan and Isabela have cleavage showing, etc.
As to the overall topic, I see something happening here... and I'm going to make an analogy that some might not understand or some might object to, but I see it the same way as I see this topic...
I am a straight male, I hope someday to marry a woman. If they allow same-sex marriage, will I suddenly be forced to marry a man, because women are now off limits? Of course not. Yet, that is the only legitimate reason to object to same sex marriage ("It's gross" or "It's against MY religion" are not legitimate reasons) so since nobody with any sense actually thinks legalizing same-sex marriage would abolish opposite-sex marriage, there is no reason to object. So, to equate it back to the topic at hand, the inclusion of more revealing or sexy armor in no way requires you to wear it, and if it did then I would see where one would have an objection, just as I would object to straight marriage being abolished along with gay marriage being allowed. But that's not what would happen in either scenario. If you don't want to wear them, don't wear them... Why must people campaign so hard to keep the option closed unless it's cause you have moral objections like those against same-sex marriage do?
