I think the thread...is moot. It is a fantasy game after all and not reflective of reality.

It's a matter of distribution though. Fifty pounds harnessed to your back isn't the same as the weight covering your whole body. 

 

 

50 pound suits were only made with the arrival of gunpowder. Obviously once guns were invented suits of armour became thicker and heavier to compensate. Before the invention of guns, plate armour was 35-40 pounds.

Certainly not me. I got the better of you the second you started throwing the word stupidity around.

No, stupidity happend as soon as you typed. Sorry to say.

Makes sense. I'm going off surviving sets but not allowing for the fact they probably survived because they're ornamental or ceremonial. 

My mistake. 

 

Someone admitting they might have been wrong on the internet. I'm breaking new ground!

True, but if reality is brought into the discussion its worth pointing out that most real world warriors weren't built like Conan the Barbarian either.

[Andres Hendrix]

Uh, this definitely has nothing to do with what anyone is talking about. 

Your profile pic suits you.

On the one hand I say to the OP "Laaaaaaaaame!" I'm not into body shaming and this also sounds a lot like the 'Cassandra doesn't fufil my requirements to be hot' complaints of the past.

But. And this is a huge but. There may be a case women possessing different and varied body types in games. Bioware is awesome but they could have some room to improve on this area. But the existence of Aveline and Cass and the female Qunari and female dwarf definately show they are at least interested in this idea.

But all the body types certainly fit into a conventionally sexually attractive paradigm.

*shrug*. Idk

True but if reality is brought into discussion there would hardly be any female warriors to begin with...so why even bring up reality?

[Calders]

I presume the OP means somebody like Jessica Ennis who is an Olympic gold medallist at the heptathlon and so has a physique that represents a near perfect blend of strength, speed and middle distance endurance, she also has a pretty mean 6 pack.  She's awesome and real.

Ooooh kay i have a shed load of Science to show you.
 
BTW we are both Monky and Ape.. i know science is wierd huh.

Apparently in your case it was more of a sar-chasm.

This is true.

There were plenty of examples of female warriors throughout history. 

[Andres Hendrix]

You have totally impressed me with your supreme intelligence, I am sure everyone else is just as impressed with you. 

Stay salty man

I'm not so sure that you have impressed them with your tendency towards yawning cliché, and that silly misunderstanding of the basics of  hominidae biology.

Hmmm. That is highly debatable. 

 

There have always been less women than men on the battlefield - I believe there still is, going off army recruit numbers - but it's not especially rare to find tales of female fighters,  more so if you turn your focus away from the Western world.

Examples do not make for the norm...compared to the sheer numbers of male warriors, they were small in number and this is also true today, which why inserting reality into a fantasy game makes little sense.

Natheair i knew dont wory. i was kidding.

not about out taxonomy thats true.

 

just to point out that training in say Fereldan would consist of wareing weaghted clothing. jets say like cass's and practase ehith a blunted heavier sword. that is just to build muscle for tactics look up Talhoffer who was a Fucht meister. 

[Uhh.. Jonah]

... Does the OP not remember Aveline or...

I think hominid would have been sufficient Louis...without the 2nd declension genitive and/or nominative plural...in fact I have never seen that being used in the context of hominid....

Actually I was pretty pleased with the femQunari figure...

 

But BW needs to get over their obsession with damn noodle arms. It's disturbing.

Apart from instance of women fighting in defence of their own towns and villages, women actually fighting on battlefields is very rare.  It gets mentioned a disproportionate amount in histories because when it happens its always note worthy.  You are really talking about less the 0.01% of all combatants in history.  Not that this matters as this is a fantasy game and so it doesn't have to be realistic.

question what dose our Hominid have to do whith swinging a sword?
