Those Skyrim screenshots are breathtaking. It's funny that a game like Skyrim that came out in 2011, still has better graphic technology than Dragon Age Inquisition. From an artistic point of view, CDPROJECTRED & Bethesda have far more experienced modelers & artists.
Still, it's shallow of me to not praise Bioware. They were Kings at one point, but not anymore.
The last hope is Mass Effect, let's see what happens. Hopefully all the women in ME4 don't get hit with the U. Stick.
Um, you realize that all those Skyrim amors and models are the result of years of collaborative effort of modders, and NOT Bethesda???
I actually played Skyrim the day it was released and still remember the choppy, low-res models that I quickly replaced with mods once they began appearing.

That Skyrim is modded to oblivion. And not necessary in good way (I'm not really fond of changing whole style of game to imvu). Probaply those screenshots are photoshopped as well, so Skyrim quality can't be compared to DAI with those pics. Though Skyrim is pretty game.
It just doesn't fit into the Dragon Age aesthetic. I don't mind sexy armor at all, but it would stick out like a sore thumb in this series.
What is it then, the aesthetic I mean? I´m genuinely interested since people keep bringing that up. For the most of the DAI armors were plain ridiculous and from the artistic point of you none of them were actually aesthetic. At least for me. I don´t think stuffing "boob" armors among them would break nothing. Some like it so it is fine.

Since we're talking about plate armor, good examples are Grey Warden armor, Loghain's armor, Templar armor, Seeker armor, dwarven armor. Maybe a few others. They all have similarities, including not showing cleavage.

I kind of view those mods in the same way as the Korean MMOs with respect to gameplay or something, you can't just plug in something from somewhere else and expect it to work.
For instance, making all the Skyrim females have bikinis and thongs doesn't change the fact that they're basically all the same exact people personality wise it's not really going to affect anything. Consquently I don't ever mod any of the games I play, if the armor and clothes suck they suck, that's just what I'm going to get and it's better to just accept that fact. I think the baseline art direction in DA is slightly better than Skyrim so regardless of what mods are available I view it as superior in that respect.
I feel like this threads are just thinly veiled requests for more cool or nice or fun people to be around... the only way that would happen is if Bioware hires those kinds of people and they spend all their time on the next game or whatever making things from the ground up with characterization, etc.

Exactly how i feel, i find it sad that Bioware took that stance on modders or those screenshots might have been a bioware game..

I liked the redesign on the Templar armor in Inquisition
I also wished Seeker armor made it into the game (and that the Lord Seeker actually wore some 
)

I find the kind of armor Mhairi wore to be an aesthetically pleasing plate armor and perfectly acceptable.
Bewb-plate armor?
Does that mean next game men will have the option for one codpiece of armor?
Ahh, the DAO nipple rivets. How I hated those.

Kind of does already.

I usually have hard time seeing boob plate armor as aesthetically pleasing though especially if it's boob cups, usually it's opposite and armor would look better without boob plate. I think majority of boob plate armors are just included in the games cause it's how female characters have been done years and developers can't figure out new ways to do armor for female characters so they just take male armor and stick boobs on it or invent armor completely by making it bikini armor 
What I have observed at least for me better way to show of that character is female with armor is to make armor more female form fitting:
Note that all armors show that characters have boobs, but they don't have boob cups. Some of these are bit more realistical than others, but I think their fitting to game depends on art style.
What I don't think looks good:
Though not all boob cups are bad looking, but I think majority of them are and they are just easy way for developers to made female armor without having to design much and think different approaches.
Boobplate?Boobplate!
Always in favor of it.
Kind of does already.

No, I mean the entire armor is just the codpiece. A codpiece thong would really work for me.

I fail to see why people wear metal armor at all in a world where there are people literally throwing lightning bolts at you.. The ****? Next DA people should wear robber or fire resistant asbestos armor.. and heavy heavy furs if they they think ice magic might in use. If you wear fur and someone uses a fire spell you take extra burning damage.
Also I don't recall BioWare ever having the best graphics in any of their hit games.
As far as Boobplate, whatever makes the fans happy, chainmail bikini armor still pops up in popular MMO's, so ain't like anyone can point the finger at BioWare and accuse them of being sexist, since they'd be following the trend of Less = Best armor.
Um, probably because that armor is infused with some protective runes or created out of metal able to resist magical effect?
There are many ores in Thedas - and while iron seems familiar, why assume that all metals have the same properties as other metals in our world? And why assume that there are only offensive magical effects and defensive ones - or ways to protect oneself from them?
Also - just because something is trendy, doesn't make this thing good or desirable. It's a classical argumentum ad populum logical fallacy.

It might be a good argument for any other fantasy - but not Dragon Age. It's been established in-game that ridiculous armor wouldn't work - unless somebody would like to be quickly killed.
Besides - did I say anywhere that protective runes can, say, replace an entire armor? They can enhance it, or offer protection against magical effects - but obviously it still needs to offer at least a modicum of physical protection and mobility.

Or because the lore simply hasn't explored how magic would change warfare. If you try and make up excuses for other errors you wind up with a mess of contradictions.

What has been established right from the first game is, that boob armour works very well in the world of Thedas. Almost every single female armour in DA:O is basically boob armor. They worked back then, there is no reason why they shouldn't now.
I honestly don't understand how someone could think this armor is "unrealistic" and "impractical" and "deadly" :
Yet, are perfectly fine with these:
