About the argument of fighting in a dress and being hard to animate. Well if Ubisoft can do it, I am sure Bioware can too.
It's not that easy when your working with a completely different engine along with different gameplay

Ubisoft can do it, Square-Enix has done it, a few times in fact, and unless their is something about the ball we dont know yet, like a brawl happening mid way through, why would they need to animate anything other than the femquisitor walking, sitting, and dancing in a dress? Besides this is likely Vivienne's Ball, and if she demands all those in attendance to have on formal dresses and suits, then the damn inquisitor should step up despite their dislike of dresses or suits, or lose Vivienne. When I was a kid, I hated putting on suits for church, or anything else for that matter. If they weren't comfortable clothes I didn't see the point, but as I grew up I realized that clothes project a certain image and it's that image that is important when dealing with those you wish to impress or gain the approval of, so who cares if your femquisitor is a butch armor wearing muscle head, when she needs the right people to give her aid, and those people require her to dress up like a pretty pretty princess she damn well better do it if she wants that money, aid, troops, support, political support, ect ect ect.
Mihura and others have already articulated a lot of how I feel about this re: gender.
However, it bothers me that my non-human Inquisitors might be forced to wear human-styled clothing. I know for certain that any elf I play will want to wear something Dalish.

There's most likely gonna be some kind of fight that happens there given what we heard about the party

I really doubt it mostly because they have robes already in game.
I just hate the animations or resources excuse for the lack of this or that, mostly because they first think about the male inquisitor as a default gender. I dislike that, if they want to have a more neutral thing they should work for it, this means that, casual clothes should reflect your typical male or female cultural expectations in one piece, which strangely enough is the skyhold outfit lmao.
Neutral should not mean male/practical/military but instead you could not pinpoint the gender of the character base on the clothes.
Or you know they could give people options to RP different characters.

And every robe we've seen has been on mages who do ranged combat
The outfit does look neutral to me, as we haven't even seen the whole outfit on the female yet and only the back

Your the leader of a military organization, dressing the part actually makes sense

The outfit is not neutral, it is associated with military life and men in general. Sure clothes have no gender but there is always an ideal and sentiment that we associated with general concepts, Hume proves this really well.
Personally I do not associated that with male but the concept generally goes that way for most people. Do you think a dress like in the gifs I put in here is neutral? I think most people do not see it that way.
Yes your a leader of a military organization and I agree with you but maybe in the future I want a character that want to ****** the nobles. There are people like that, even if they are military leaders.
Also if you are elven, qunari or dwarven maybe my character would care even less. If I am a leader I should be able to do what I want, even dress like a clown just to ****** all over the Orlesian party.
Why not? You have something against guys in a dress?
Not at all if this is for me, my stance if that everyone should have access to all the clothes, the gender of the characters should be irrelevant.
I was just explaining why lot of people see certain clothes in a way and why there is tendency, to associate the male gender with practical, military, serious, competent clothes. If that was not the view, they would had in game male characters with dresses too, which they do not.
Mihura I think it was fantastic that you posted the gif of aveline!! : D I absolutely loved playing her and running around in her lady costume sniping baddies with my parasol lol was the best!!!!
It was my favorite part too, I have a tendency for plain clothes personally but I absolutely love what they did with Aveline.
She is one of my favorites in the franchising, I always tried to use the Lady persona to attract the guards and kick their nuts in some dark corner hue.
MotA all over again indeed /facepalm
I don't see why we couldn't have had a long, straight sheath dress as an option for femquisitors. It would have been exactly the same as animating the mage robes and they've made dresses like that for DA:O (which you could wear and fight in) and DA2(where only NPC ladies get them). It does make me feel slightly better that all the Inquisition people have to wear it including the women. I would have expected them to make the femquisitor the only one forced to wear a man's outfit while Leliana and other female inquisition members would wear something feminine like Tallis in MotA.
I wish I knew enough about computers to build a gaming pc and wallow in mods all day.

These are copy-pasted animations, Ubisoft didn't make anything unique here in regards to the outfit. If you're okay with Bioware adding a dress without changing any of the standard animations, just remember that they've already done this before in Mass Effect 2, which lead to people complaining and mocking them.

I am completely ok with that. The only thing that I did not liked in ME 2, was forcing my character to use a dress or a tuxedo. I am the player and I should decide which character goes well with those formal clothes.

That's the thing about RPG video games there's gonna be times when the game makes you do or wear something you feel your character wouldn't wear
I hate the outfit regardless of gender lol My inquisitor is going to look like Prince Charming in a Disney movie ![]()
Similar situation to the Skyhold hooplah. They just didn't seem to anticipate that we would want to customize our characters this much. It's a real shame. I hope there's discussion in-game about why the inquisitor has to wear such an icky uniform, and I hope we have the option to express distaste (or pleasure, as the case may be).
Hair and fashion don't really seem to be BioWare's forte; I mean we literally have mullet options in the CC... open a magazine, people, let's step this up a notch

Fair enough. Of course, even if a dress was available, it wouldn't be of the opulent sort that some people are hoping for. It would hang close to the model's legs, and I can't imagine very many frills or accessories, as their presence would just look strange when the Female Inquisitor inevitably ends up using the "gender neutral" animations in cutscenes.

I think they did, but it was probably moved low on the list of priorities after considering multiple races

You are probably right, and I am willing to put up with a cruddy outfit in exchange for getting to play as the true master race of Thedas
ELF POWER!!! ![]()
I posted in the Skyhold casual outfit thread, but just want to chime in here too: BioWare, please don't utterly break the immersion of people playing female characters by forcing them into a male outfit again, like what happened in MOTA.
If you are going to establish in your universe that noble/powerful females wear dresses at formal functions, then please don't make my character look like an ignorant bumpkin that can't dress appropriately for a party or ball. I'm pretty sure Josephine would be horrified by that ugly military suit FemInquisitor is dancing in.
Please, give us optional clothing DLC to allow many of us to roleplay our characters more effectively. ![]()
*throws money at BioWare* ![]()
I dont get it they're smart and resourceful enough to create games so vast but noooo casual clothes and hair just cross the line of what they can do?MotA all over again indeed /facepalm

Bioware was never really all that great with hair, though hair in general is very difficult in video games
Casual clothes are normally low on the priority list
so are curtains and beds.
Yea, but I'm not even sure if those are under the same designer
LOL Bioware cannot win.
They give you a game with 200+ potential hours of gameplay...
