I'm saying in your argument he does. Because your argument is "women must dance in a specific feminine way". I have seen real women do dances that way, hence it must be feminine by your own argument.
It doesn't matter how many times you repeat "women must lead in a feminine way", it blatantly isn't true.
The day Bioware takes all their gender neutral animations and actions, and replaces them with "appropriately feminine" ones is the day I stop buying Bioware games. Except that won't happen because it's a ridiculous idea.
I'll also touch on the suit argument you made, since it's essentially the same thing. Women can wear suits. Women can wear dresses. Either is fine. I have done both in the past. If I went to a function as part of a military organisation I would choose to wear a suit again. Does this mean my real life is now lazily based off the idea I am I guy? I don't think so... 
You also keep repeating other subjective arguments and treating them as fact. You like your human, we get that, that's fine. This is a subjective argument and everyone has their own opinion. What's not fine is treating your own argument as fact and saying other people are just arguing emotionally. I'll help you out here -
"The game mainly takes place interacting with humans and this is a fact" - Correct! This is indeed a fact!
"The game mainly takes place interacting with humans and this means playing a human is factually better" - Wrong! This is an opinion based off a fact!
(...Why do I feel like I am trapped in Groundhog day...?)
And you misunderstand (or misrepresent) my argument. So your claim makes no sense. The choreography is masculine because the movements are manly. The fact a male performs them shows that they were meant to fit a man. A female performing them does not mean the choreography is feminine. It just means she is performing masculine moves. Again, I didn't write that women must dance in any specific way. I merely identified the difference between masculine and feminine dancing, and pointed out that the male and female Inquisitors both have only the masculine style available to them. That proves the game was designed for a male Inquisitor in mind, and fits him better than the female.
BioWare should have feminine movements for female characters. In fact, BioWare does give the female Inquisitor some feminine animations, but many of them are just copies of the male's animations, such as how you sit on the throne with your legs spread open. That isn't to mean that women are incapable of sitting with their legs open. Rather that doing so is not a feminine gesture.
Your real life comparison is not applicable because real life events are not so intimately designed to happen. The video game world must be designed every step of the way, and in this case the uniform was designed around a male, and the female just gets a slightly different shape of that male garb. If you take Cassandra there is a noblewoman who will keep asking, "What is Lady Pendaghast wearing?". You may have liked the way you looked, but I doubt that you went shopping a Men's Warehouse for your suit. You got a suit designed for a female.
This has nothing to do with how I felt about my male human mage playthrough. I never wrote that it was even once. So if I repeat myself it's only because you aren't reading what I'm writing and I have to keep correcting you.
Also didn't write that it was better. I wrote that it was more fitting and relevant.
Let me ask you this. Who is the more fitting and relevant person to take to the Temple of Mythal if you are a male qunari rogue, Blackwall, or Solas?
I don't have much more to say on the subject of race as, hypothetically speaking, even if one is marginally more suited to the game is it really worth arguing over that small percentage? It doesn't change the satisfaction a person gets from playing through with their favoured background. I prefer a dalish mage but am aware it doesn't make a lot of sense for them to be at the conclave in the first place but I overlook it as it provides the most content overall and resonates with the storyline more.
Also as you're judging suitability on the way options play out for certain races, I'm afraid I don't have the inclination to go through examples as I'm not trying to prove the matter on way or the other. I just simply don't agree with you that it is a human based game but I've already said the reasons as to why I think this. What I will say is that I don't see the IQ as being the representation of Andrastism as some might because the Divine is that. They are no longer called the Herald after a certain point. The Inquisitor is simply the Inquisitor. Yes the organisation was built around the Chantry but I don't see it as relevant that they should be Human. I haven't played JOH but I was aware of spoilers and that the first Inquisitor was an Elf so why shouldn't this one be?
The Dalish playthough isn't as limited or irrelevant as you describe. You are speaking from your bias towards a Human character. I agree with paramitch regarding the love letter to Lavellan. Especially when, for example, you are standing in front of a mural showing Fen'Harel removing vallaslin in the same way that he potentially removed the Inquisitor's. The romances available to the Human feel like frivolous side content in comparison. But as this is down to player choice I know you will refute this.
It wasn't a critisism, I found your description of what you wanted from the dance amusing. As much as I hate to admit it I agree with you on this point. I disliked that scene. I've also noticed the laziness of Bioware in certain animations such as when the female inquisitor walks out onto the balcony at skyhold with Solas she has exactly the same gait as him, it looks odd. They should have a more feminine walk.
It has nothing to do with satisfaction. Yes, an elf playthrough will offer a unique experience. But a human playthrough will offer the most relevant experience of the storyline.
You're free to disagree that it's based around a human, but the developers stated that the game was created with a human protagonist in mind, and the other races were added later when they postponed the game.
My point about Ameridan is that the Inquisitor has the option to lie about who he was. The Inquisitor can reveal that he was an elven mage, or lie and say he was a human warrior. Only the human Inquisitor has a valid reason to lie. None of the other races do. Also, a human revealing that Ameridan was an elven mage would logically carry more weight than an elf claiming the same thing. People would be more likely to believe the human Inquisitor.
You are judging my personal motives. I don't think that's fair in this debate. I am leaving personal opinions out of it and only referencing the facts. I didn't write that the elf playthrough is irrelevant. Just that it is not as relevant as the human playthrough. Just like a dwarven playthrough is not as relevant as an elven playthrough. I question the logic of the vallaslin mural. Shouldn't an elven female who "romanced" Solas and let him remove the vallaslin know right away that Solas is Fen'Harel? She knows he can do it. Seems weird that she would not make a comment about this.
Okay, we agree on that then. Thank you. I also think they should have given the females their own unique movements. Doing so would have gone a long way in making the game as fitting for a female Inquisitor as it was for a male.
Dia, Yes, the Roman uniform was very muscular seeing only men could become a Roman soldier. The Inquisition uniform is gender neutral much like today's Army and Marine DPUs.
If I may.. I think the Inquisition uniform enhances Camine's Elven looks and sets off her green eyes and light red hair.. Tidus, on the other hand looks ok in that uniform much like any Inquisition soldier would.
It was muscular. So I'm wondering why you used Roman uniforms as an example. If a woman were to wear that uniform, she would be seen as cross-dressing. As for the Inquisition uniforms, those are a little more accommodated to the respective genders. I don't think any of this addresses the issue with the dignitary uniforms. Certainly these could have been more like U.S. Navy uniforms, where the females have skirts. Not demanding a skirt for the female Inquisitor, but her uniform should have some kind of representation for females.
I noticed with the wardrobe pictures it shows a male version of the uniform, and a much more feminized version which doesn't show up in the game.
Compare this to the noble clothing in Origins. That clothing item on a male will give him the outfit Eamon wears at the Denerim estate. Putting it on a female gives her the same look as Isolde (except a different color scheme). Shirt and pants for men, long dress for women. Why not in Inquisition?
Retour en haut
I do think they could have done a better job, but at the end of the day it's not earth shattering, because I still managed to get a great experience (eventually, lol). I would just offer my constructive criticism and move on.
