Actually is you look at real armor from most civilizations, unless you were a farmer or other poor grunt, it was ornate, dyed and in general prissed out in every way imaginable. People tended to obsess over over these things. It's part of the ritual.
yeah. but see that doesn't fit their argument so .... armour and weapons are the most personal thing imaginable. that was often true in real life and it is certianly true in RPGs .... whether table based or computer based. At least that is true for many people and for a game maker the calibre of Bioware to simply ignore it is kind of sad ... many other things are fantastic about the game (i particularly love the witty reparte) ... but i don't think excelling in one area (or other areas) forgives skimping in such an important area as this ... just my opinion tho
