A while back (a year ago maybe?) I made a thread because I was concerned that mages wouldn't get very good robes. Well I was right, DA:I doesn't really have anything in the way of real mage robes. Only NCPs do, come on Bioware add them to the item list for the Inqusitor. You went to the trouble of giving all these robes new textures and creates some brand new ones it seems silly to make them unavaliable to the player. For me personally this strongly applies to the new looking Orsino robes that a few elven NPCs are seen in. I've alway had the opinion that they are the best looking robes in the Dragon Age series and have been saying they should be avaliable to the player character since DA2, yet again they're not. Please, fix this. Not everyone wants to play as a mage running around in battlearmour and for an RPG where making our own characters is important, a part of out character is their clothing.

 

Edit: As the tiers go up the designs don't really change. I think if Bioware took the NPC robes and made them avaliable to the PC as schematics then that would solve a lot of the issue. I think there are also some armours that are in desperate need of schematics too. We need Templar armour back, it's an iconic armour and only being able to craft the shield is so lame. Seriously we NEED the full thing plus the helmets. At the bottom are screenshots of Dragon Age: Origins on PC, modders took armours from Dragon Age 2 and ported them over to DAO while making new models for both race and gender. These are the kind of armours that should be avaliable.

 

I also think the Knight-Commander armour needs a schematic plus having that cool crown thing would be sweet too. I believe the only avaliable armour with that model if the Armour of the Knights-Divine found midway through the game. It's a cool armour but it's static, never upgradeable never able to have its colours altered. BW went on about how crafting armours would be an important part of the game an help players shape a unique Inqusiutor...i'm not seeing it with the limited options we have right now. EVERY armour should have a schematic for it. I think Elder Scrolls Online has a much better crafting system overall which doesn't limit player's choices, has cool designs and allows for a great mix-and-match style of armour/robes choices...(the game also has a lot of hair choices, even long ones *cough cough*).

I think the idea was to try and make the PC have a unique stand out look all their own with each armor type, after all even most of the basic armors have as much detail into them as the Champion's Mantle did, also normal robes would look horrible in allot of animations,

[Steppenwolf]

I prefer the coats with armor bits to actual robes. They look more dynamic and much better suited to battle. But it is odd that there don't seem to be ANY robes for mages.

[VilniusNastavnik]

how about just more armor in general.. I personally love the trenchcoat style looks, but as it stands, there is not enough variety of armor, and most of the gear I have seen is tail coat or waist coat style armor... if I wanted to look like an 1800s butler I would play fable 2 and use the middle class male gear..

That's a fair point, there really isn't much variety in the gear.

There should be proper robes. I want my mages to wear robes.

There is about 2 - 4 race restricted armours which NPCs also use, however these don't have scematics which is annoying. I think for any RPG vareity in armour is key and it's missing here.

[Sylvius the Mad]

Those are awesome robes.

[Frozenkex]

I really like the coat, probably more than any mage armor in dragon age game, but theres just that one coat, that is all.

[Spirit Keeper]

Those are awesome robes.

Yep, those are Orsino's robe from Dragon Age 2. Technically they were his body model and not actual 'robes' but BW could have made them into robes. These same robes repear in DA:I with a whole new upadated texture and they are still freaking NPC only.

Reiterating what others have said: Love the coats for mage armor but I would also love to see more options. I would especially love to be able to wear mage robes in Skyhold if I so choose. Some of the ones I've seen in-game look fantastic.

[Eggplant Hell Princess]

I would pay real money to get one of those Tevinter dragon hoodies Alexius and his crew wears.

Intimidating but still cozy. Best of both worlds.

Yes to this! Also I want the robes that the Nevarran Necromancy trainer wears.

Not the templar armour i'm talking about though. I'm talking about the one the knights wear, the schematic is for a...potato sack.

the templar armor is avalable you have to go to the desert and follow the chantry simbols to get it

[Lord Surinen]

There would be more mage armours but they were cut from the SP and put in MP. Sorry for a little bit of threads advert but:

MP armours should be available in SP

Only if you're playing a mage or rogue and use silverite to make it wearable.  I'm pretty sure it still looks like normal templar knight armor for warriors.

Holy sh*t, those robes and armours look amazing. Need to be in SP stat.

Really? Well that's boo. Seems like a total shame if true.

 

Edit: What the h*ll, I just tried it and you're totally right. Sigh, Warriors get awesome armour, mages and rogues get potato sacks. I need to cry myself to sleep at night now.

I'm not going to lie, I actually love this.  I think the 'potato sack' version looks pretty cool.  But, I think it would have been more appropriate to have them be different schematics.  Like have a 'Templar Scribe Armor' that is an actual light armor schematic and looks like that, and let the templar warrior armor always look like templar warrior armor.

 

Those are awesome robes.

 

Also just to be clear, those are not actually available in any of the games.  The screenshot had to be taken with a game that had been modded to allow it, those are orsino's robes.  

 

I agree though that there should be more armors.  I actually really like the tier 3 mage armors, but it is a different look.  It also really annoys me that so many of the crafted armors for all three classes look essentially identical.  Tier-3 heavy armor should be some variation of the massive armor design that, to me, is iconic of DA warriors.  It also sucks that most of the unique armor styles are lower tiers.  I think there just needs to be a wider array of tier 3 armor schematics for people to choose from.
