I'd like to say, original Aela looks tons better than this fantasy Aela. And may I also add, you seem obsessed over the way Cassandra look.

^ Aela's got the eyes. Those eyes, man, they're wonderful.
Also, is Aela a marriage option in Skyrim? IIRC, she's not. My main Dragonborn is happily married to Lydia, but if I ever run through that game again, I'd totally go for Aela.
Really? She's listed as marriage material.

Yes, though I believe you have to finish the Companions questline before the Companions become available as options.

Yea she's a marriage option, but I dislike Bethesda's marriages

Better than Bioware's marriages.

Yes she is a marriage option in Skyrim I have a dark elf married to her in one of my runs. You have to complete the Companions quest line to be able to marry her though if I recall correctly.
Eh not really, Bioware hardly does them but Bethesda makes them look awkwardly stupid
Oh, they've done them? Please share. By the way, offscreen stuff doesn't count.

Well there's HoF and Alistair, HoF and Anora, and Alistair/Anora
It may be a political royal marriage but it's still a marriage

I said offscreen stuff does't count. What we see onscreen is worse than what Bethesda shows onscreen.
I think the chick he compared her with is a modded Aela too which makes it even more funny and pathetic
Too bad the OP didn't use this photo instead.

Reality VS Fantasy
On the left we have a realistic portrayal of Cassandra, technically a woman who in my opinion is not the least bit attractive, although she has an incredible personality. Cass appears slightly more masculine than most men would care for. Keep in mind that she is a romance option for straight males, but she is actually quite popular amongst women and gay men (check google). The flat chested armor is REALISTIC to deflect blows, I can respect that. The nature of the armor would add to immersion. Aveline's armor was the same way which preserved immersion and realism, but she was also masculine in appearance and not a romance option, however Cassy can be romanced.
On the right we have a highly sexualized portrayal of a fantasy hunter. Her body is nearly flawless and almost non-human. She is highly attractive and feminine in appearance. Most men without an agenda would find the women on the right far more attractive than Cassandra. Her armor isn't about utility, it's about art and sex appeal. It shows how beautiful she is. The picture on the right completely captures my imagination, it feels fantasy. The picture on the left is someone I could see at the super market.
VS
Here is another fine example of a highly, beautiful fantastical character that captures the imagination.
I personally prefer fantasy over realism. Dragon Age I & II were both fantastical in their art direction.
I feel like after Dragon Age I & II, Inquisition was a complete and sudden change that caught me off guard. It was not what I was expecting and I am upset and disappointed.
Does this look manly to you?

I know. Cassandra's face is so adorable.

I just want to pinch her cheeks

If that's what qualifies for "manly", then I might be a closet homosexual, because Cassandra has always been pretty.

I find nothing wrong with Cassandra's face. I don't know why people have such an issue over it.
Sight... This is what happens when parents allow their children to play with those demonic plastic looking barbie dolls as an infant.


The modded version of Aela looks like crap.

According to science, you are.
Only lesbians and gay men are attracted to her, remember?
That must mean I'm a closet heterosexual.

You found a very good angle of her. I could go into more detail, but what's the point. Still, the rest of the game she does not look like this. I could find a thousand screenshots that don't look good. Still, I see the beauty in the above picture, well done

Fake image. Everyone knows Cassandra doesn't wear underwear.

I played with those. I used to strip them naked and rip their legs, arms and heads off... no wonder I'm a psycho.
Hey Pinky TeeTee
I just realize that the OP did used the photo that I posted up.

In her romance scene you can see her boobs. They are beautiful, and feminine.
Do guys get to dress in bikini armors as well or just girls?

No, I added it after I saw you post it.
