I'm sure most of you know exactly what I mean.

 

The one thing you start to notice very quickly with DAI, once you start doing multiple playthroughs, is just how generic the Inquisitor's armour options actually are. They look very similar on all Races. Because they are the same armour design.

 

You think that armour looks awesome Cassandra? Or Bull? Or Sera?

 

It's going to look generic on your Human/Qunari/Elf Inqusitor...

 

Qunari Inquistors are particularly undercatered for, in this department.

 

I mean sure you're not part of the Qun, you're a mercenary. But even still why can't Qunari Inquistors have something a bit more in keeping with the concept art for Qunari in DA2, rather than just having standard human attire.

 

I know that there are some Dalish and Dwarven armours in the game which can be warn by the Inquisitor. But more generally would you like to see a series of more Race specific options for each playable Race, which would better suit an Inquisitor who is not Human?

 

I mean if I can cover Skyhold in drapery brandishing the emblem of the Qun, if I can have Dalish designs on the stained glass windows, if I can purchase a sodding Dwarven Bed, is it too wrong to want my non-human Inquisitor to have an armour combination which doesn't look... human?

 

Hell (and I know I'll get chastised for saying it) I would even pay for DLC Armour schematics of that kind. Qunari in particular.

I think they meant to have companions style themselves, to create that "iconic" look for each of them.

 

But I do agree, we need more variety for each race. I'm mostly concerned the lack of Skyhold outfit, it should be different for each atleast ugh. ohlawd that Jammies is an abomination! D:

Qunari really don't have much. They haven't even one kind of unique rece specific armour. Dwarfes have only one, if I remember correctly, and is for warriors only (if you don't use silverite or the other materials that unlock the class restriction). The elves are better, since they have one unique armour for class, but the keeper schematics are a drop from one of the hardest dragons to kill, the warrior ones are luck realated (or farming like crazy for hours) and the shout armour schematics are in the scout in the desert. (hight price, and the female version seem Merrill's dress. so it seem more a mage robe than an armour)

 

More different looking armours would be great, and more mage/rogue/warrior like armours. Is very sad that the armour are basically the same on all the classes, not only races. and nothing really change aestetically from one to another. Having my rogue dress exactly like my mage is quite depressing.

 

With more race specific armour, I would love more race specific dresses. Is quite ridicolous seeing my Dalish Inquistors with that human-style PJs.

There is an elf in the Skyhold garden wearing a gorgeous outfit.  To whom must I send cupcakes in order to get those elfy duds?

 

Thumbs up for more race-enhancing armor!

I want what the characters in multiplayer are wearing, especially that elven sentinal armor Abelas wears

That's not a bad idea. At all. I mean the assets are even already in the game.

Would not mind a return of either the heavy armors or massive armors from Dragon Age: Origins, or both.

All of a sudden there's a distinct lack of Plate armor in Thedas.

True. Something a bit more sturdy like that would be a bonus for Warriors.

 

You know I actually like the starting armour's aesthetic for Qunari. It's probably best suited to rogues, but also looks pretty good on any Quanari mercenary. It's just a shame that even with crafting you can't make a suitably sturdy version of it.

[Patchwork]

I want the armour the trainers wear.

[Robert Trevelyan]

I want the armour the trainers wear.

 

Yes. Why not. And again, not new assets. I mean, sure, you might have some trouble putting them on different races to the Trainers but it's perfectly doable.

[Rhidor]

Of course I want that. I really envy all those silent NPCs who have those nice, race-specific armors.

[Robert Trevelyan]

I know that somebody will mod all of this for PC, eventually. But it's the kind of stuff console players should have access to also. I hope some of those other rmours find their way in eventually.

Personally I think the crafted longcoat variations look better than any other armour in the game and am glad they're included. Cassandra, Sera, Solas etc look pretty bland in comparison. I can agree Bull looks good as far as qunari go though, but I'd never want my inquisitor to look like the incredible hulk.

They're not terrible. But they don't really suit all characters. It worked fine while I was playing as Human Archer. Looked pretty sweet.

 

But on a Qunari. On a Dalish Elf. On a Dwarf. These coats seem incongrous.

 

It just seems weird that you can redecorate the entire of Skyhold in Qunari colours and insignia, but yet you cannot have a single Qunari style armour on your Inquisitor.

I can agree with that part. Thinking about it, the choice to include qunari as a playable race always seemed odd to me as the game doesn't seem adapted to it, neither gearwise nor lorewise. They are in many ways a very different race and still not all that fleshed out, but conveniently enough you play one who is like a human in almost all respects. It's almost as if an EA executive happened to walk by during development, spot some qunari concept art and go, hey, that looks cool, make sure you can play as one of those.

If I recall rightly, Qunari was a race added once EA had decided to give BioWare another year to develop the game.

 

Still, it's a similar situation for Dwarf Inquisitors too. There is a Legion of the Dead schematic, and Carta Coats for Rogues. Buttraditional Dwarven plate armour is absent.

As I think was mentioned up thread, I can't see why not. The assets for Neria, and the other multiplayer characters' armours, are already in the game. These could be adapted to the player model.  

[KaiserShep]

Things look cool to me on humans, so I personally have no complaints. I kind of think women could use more feminine details though (like a skirt variation on the armors and Skyhold outfit for one...). The other races need more work than just appearances. 

 

The skirt part should not be gender specific, because real armors worn by men had that sort of thing anyway, and of course we had the rogue armors of Origins that also had them. The female-specific version was atrocious with the stupid low cut top though.

 

As for the Skyhold outfit, a skirt would have made it a million times worse, because aside from the Inquisitor not likely being animated differently to account for the skirt (FemShep spread eagle!), the beige outfit is bad enough as it is before becoming a nightie.

 

I'll always maintain that what the Inquisitor really needed was "casual" armor like Cassandra.

[Robert Trevelyan]

Customisation of the 'Skyhold Pyjamas' would be preferable, though. Maybe it does work for a human Inquisitor. It seems bloody odd on some of the other races though.

 

I've found myself largely wanting to compare Skyhold in general to the functions and standards that we had for the Normandy in Mass Effect. It would be cool if you actually did have a series of casual options for while walking around Skyhold. Put some kind of wardrobe in the Inquisitor's quarters. It would give that room some sense of purpose. Because franlly it doesn't have any, right now.

[KaiserShep]

I didn't really have a skirt in mind.. I just can't think of a word for it. Maybe just some part that hangs like a tail... and maybe a different blouse. This wouldn't require many animation differences. In the models, there's a "cloth" bone that operates on physics rather than animation. That's all you'd use there.

 

As for the outfit itself, I like the motif.. grey and gold. Kind of matches the Trevelyan tarot card colors. And I pointed out elsewhere the design resembles some noble clothing in GoT. It's not the design that's bad. It's the fact that these other races are just tacked on. So it doesn't blend as well.

 

Yeah, on the other races it's definitely terrible. There should really have been some race-specific outfits for these characters for casual wear. The Qunari looks especially bad, particularly the male, who has the vast expanse of beige across his torso.

No self-respecting Qunari male is going to walk around in Beige pyjamas.

 

Or at least they shouldn't *have* to.
