Sexy Armor (5e Equipment)https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Sexy_Armor_(5e_Equipment)
This game needs more sexy and revealing, seductive and alluring, provocative and skimpy armors and clothing!



I'm making this thread because this game needs more skimpy and very revealing armors and clothing!. In all honesty, we need more of it because there is demand for it.
Lets take a look at one of the most popular Superheroine. Wonder Woman.The movie soar in Box Office because she is a beautiful and sexy female warrior wearing skimpy clothing.
The idea of limiting sexuality in games just seems crazy to me. If you can't turn a world of fantasy and fiction to have some kind of freedom, where can you? What is wrong with playing a sexy looking powerful female warrior? It can be pretty fun to assume such roleplay.
Women in very revealing armor are very yummy and breathtakingly beautiful. Sex appeal sells. We demand more revealing outfits.



EDIT : please refrain from arguing, only say if you would like to see a bit more sexy and revealing or a lot more revealing. (picture helps)

Even though this is high fantasy, I myself, very much approve if they try to keep the armors somewhat realistic. I don't want yet another game treating women as sex objects. I mean come on. In the two examples you choose....why are they even wearing "armor" as it won't protect them from anything. Not even from chilly winds and even less from men staring at them.

That'll be the "sexy" meaning "much less of" thing, then; I dunno, the Boris Vallejo look never really did it for me. I want more shoes, including the heels that were previously so controversial.

No thanks, Leave that for the modders

let me guess you 2 playing bg3 for the full nudity sex available in it...
what wrong with having some Raveling and seductive clothing ?

Speak for yourself please.

Dungeons & Dragons has literally never been about "skimpy armor".
If anyone ever came to me as their DM and said "My Paladin of 22 AC wears a platekini.", I'd kick them out of my group.

Unless magical armor changes its appearance to whatever the wearer imagines "Full Plate" would never be "skimpy". It's in the name.

This game isn't about sex appeal. Nor is it about "yummy skimpy warriors". Unless you're a Barbarian (And even then, it's pretty bad), seeing people in plate-kinis rips the player right out of immersion.

Pretty sure there are other games you can play for that, or make your mods, but Larian would never add that in the base game.

so WRONG !
this is a game rated M with full nudity and full sex scene what is wrong with having some sexy armors ??

Vometia, do you mean like the stilettos seraphims wear in Sacred series? Yeah, sorry but please no. That if anything, bugged me enormously. Any woman knows how hard it is to run in those not mentioning running in grassy hills and rocky mountains

Now, as a man standing for equality, I would never dream of telling a woman what she can and can't wear. (well, in this thread that's practically what I'm doing, sorry for that)

I just thought this bit was worth highlighting in case, I dunno, because.

Not that I particularly want to see daft bikini armour, but it's that sort of "challenge accepted" thing.

Right. we'll have female heroes wearing basically a bikini, and male heroes looking absolutely epic in full plate armour with no patch of skin to be seen.

I was thinking more in terms of the heels in D:OS. But yeah, Sacred II works as well; I modded it to make them even more impractical (I mean more strappy, not more, well, high and spiky).

It's nothing that I don't do IRL, speaking as someone who still has knee problems three years after wearing high-heeled boots when there was black ice (tbf, it was early May) and numb toes because I don't see why I can't wear strappy sandals in the middle of winter. Or heatstroke because I decided to wear my fancy new Barbour jacket in the height of summer.

why do you guys only think about ARMORS like they are FULL PLATE?

you know you can play a DEX WARRIOR right ?



or a BARBARIAN MALE with NAKED CHEST ?




WTF is wrong with you guy

so I can't play my DEX female barb wearing almost nothing ???? and still lhaving max AC in the game ????

you guys are very close minded

Because a "plate-kini" doesn't function as armor.

How can one have 22 AC and 10 Dex while wearing "Full Plate" that covers nothing but your boobs and a thong?



I sincerely hope they don't go ahead and do that. Leave it for the modders.

it does not count as an armors but clothing .....

give 10 ac +dex + cha........dude.............lol you are so closeminded I guess you dont want SEX to be in the game either ?

wizard fight in clothing.... or even naked......where is the problem of having a SEXY ROBE?????

The githyanki armor has the right amount of sexy and functionality imo

We need more of those.

The term 'fashion victim' has never been so applicable.

Just undress your characters and have them run around in their underwear if you want to see skin so bad.

WHAT?! How did you manage to come to that conclusion from what I wrote?!

I don't care whether the game has any sex scenes as those don't really do anything for the narrative or the playability.
I also don't mind characters wearing whatever they want, IF, it makes sense in context. Meeting a prostitute on the street or a slave in a haram would explain the skimpy outfit. Some sexy lingerie in a seduction scene or subtle and clever hints in dialogue "to get it on" is cool too. But seeing an adventurer running around slaying goblins in stilettos and plate-tini. No. Not working for me.

No 'sexy armour' for my game, please.* Leave the pin-up armour for modders to create.

I'm alright with sexy clothing and fur loincloths, even fully naked should that be how you view your character, but mail or plate bikinis masquerading as protection make me wince.



* As in, the game I want to play. Not that I own BG3.

I honestly almost cried when I first saw that all armour looks just as functional on females as on males. Don't you dare take that away from me.

COME ON don't tell me you don't find it nice ? and you know what its made by a DND FAN

FEMALE WARLOCK 30CHA

Fair point. Like I said. Would never dream of it.

hahahaha

from heterosexual guy, i don't think i could fight them

hahahahaha

Female Druid

I really wonder why the majority of RPGs players are men..... a mystery, truly

This is FANTASY. And this a GAME.

I totally second sexy clothing and armor, as an OPTION among a range of different options, and for everyone and not just the female characters.

speechless..

Is this thread an excuse to post pictures of half-naked women?

I might point out that neither the druid nor the warlock pictures show armour. The warlock may be intended to be wearing leather, but there is no real indication of it on that drawing.

EDIT: The sorcerer/wizard above isn't wearing armour either.

Please stop trawling the internet for more pictures - you will get hairy palms and stunted growth.

Now that one, I can agree with. As a user of the ART, she knows she won't wear armor. She knows she is good looking and can use that to her advantage, especially when dealing with people that would find her sexually attractive. The heels are still impractical, but I guess a magic user never really finds the need to run anyway. They can just teleport, or levitate. Or force a humanoid to carry them etc.

I approve this message

EVIL Paladin

There's a difference between sexy armors/robes and bikinis with AC bonuses.
I would for example love to dress up a rogue in more of a catsuit type of armor, but it also has to be lore friendly.

Also at this point this topic just seems to be an excuse for OP to post unsourced art of "hot babes" or whatever.

Oh no please... Why the hell do you want "sexy" armor in such a game...
Are you really fantasising about video games characters...?

The latter examples certainly look much better than the first two.

It needs to make sense for a character to have particularly revealing clothing, and the properties should match how they look. Minimal coverage armor would not be very defensive, thus it would not make sense to use it for defensive purposes. Seductive purposes though? Yeah, if that's what the character wants.

It should also not be very common. After all, this is dungeons and dragons fantasy game, not a sexual fantasy game.

well the fact that the game is rate M and also Black desert online influence :P
you do know modeler will do it anyway right ? I meant they do it for every single game(nude mod). so I still don't get it why the DEVS don't get the message. if I want to go around NAKED let me do it.

let me fight the guard that try to arrest me too.

but this this is not what I am asking, this is a Fantasy game for adult I see nothing wrong in having some sexy and revealing clothing and armors in the game from scratch. (not made by a bod)

Most D&D players are still male (although the gap is closing rapidly), and a large proportion (40% at last survey) are under 25.

I will say no more.

Abdirak has skimpy "armor".

Imagine that one being equippable by female PC....
I am sure modders will accomodate you if Larian won't

if any modders see this, make a part of my dream come true :P

This. Good point.

Then, I'm the kind of man that finds subtleness more sexy than the full monty. I love how Yennefer is portrayed in Witcher(even though she is often wearing heels). And I prefer the older iterations of Cat Woman over the modern ones. Having the full body slim cat suit still shows that she is a woman with a rather ample bossom. Unnecessary to also show a lot of cleavage.

They add 'no filter' cinematics, I'm sure they have some revealing outfits planned for us

This is a good example of how skimpy can fit in this setting. He is purposely revealing his skin so he can better cause pain to himself. This "armor" serves its purpose, which is not to protect the user

I am not gonna lie; first time I saw him I didn't think twice about killing him, just to see if I could have looted it and placed it on my PC.
Needless to say I was left disappointed.

Just want to point out that there are spells and magic items that allow you to have an AC bonus and still allows you to wear whatever you want. That said, the Chosen (if they are still alive in 5E I am not sure, I only know Blackstaff is dead for sure), that the Seven Sisters were not known for wearing very conservative clothing. However, they probably had Bracers (or Bracelets) of Armor and had pretty high dexterity. So revealing armors are kind of apart of the game for men and women. Barbarians usually get away with it due to Damage reduction and usually having higher than average dexterity than some fighters, but as it is noted you can have fighters with higher dex scores than 10. That said this is a Fantasy setting where anything is possible. You are playing a character that is or could change into a Mind Flayer at any moment. How hard is it to believe there are heroes that dress like this? I just find it absurd that people just say, "Whoa!" at aesthetics for armor in a game that has the ability to swap your gender and race or into a tree if you want. As far as Full-Plate granted a 22 AC, if it was Magical I would allow it. Even if it was a Full-Plate bikini. It is MAGICAL. As in capable of doing the IMPOSSIBLE. If you don't like magic breaking your reality immersion, then you really aren't into fantasy. No one is saying you have to equip your female characters to look like skimpy clothed vixens and no one should expect others to always want their characters to conform to how they BELIEVE they should look. As far as allowing things at your gaming tabletops, that is YOUR gaming group, and while it is totally justifiable to expect things there you should not expect everyone to adhere to your thinking. I don't expect anyone to think everything I say or do is correct nor do I think I am always correct, but I refuse to let creativity to be stifled.

I have a better solution for all of you though, but why can't we just simply have armors that are made for those that want to have the skimpy look and those that don't. The developers could have a few actual sets that are revealing, but hey as everyone says if you don't like that there is always modding! Seriously, don't stifle peoples creativity just because you personally find it distasteful. I don't expect people to get art, but I'm tired of people shaming others for simply expressing themselves. And my mini-rant has ended! *Flips Night Watch cloak around dramatic style and goes back to guard the realms of men.*

That can simply be explained by the changes to modern society and overall change to acceptance of stereotypes and how we look upon genders. What kind of signals do a company want to send to their customers. That they are in touch with the modern world and views regarding stereotypes. Or that they still see humanoid characters, mostly females, as sex objects.

That there exists modders and players that still feel the need to confirm old portraying's of gender roles/stereotypes/equality in games is nothing a company really should adhere to.

To try and make the discussion more "serious" I think it would be a good thing if the PC and all of the companions had a quick swap between armor and "casual clothing" which is used at camp at minimum. Possibly even when in Baldur's Gate.

I mean, I know it's not traditionally how D&D has been understood to work. But traditionally speaking, armors are only donned prior to battle. You certainly wouldn't walk around town in full plate. It would make encounters more interesting if you could be ambushed while waiting in a tavern in casual attire.

Take care of this, and what more do you need? Outside of cutscenes the characters are generally zoomed too far out to ogle anyway. And the number of talking sexy warrior NPCs you meet is...uhh...I can't think of any.

Just to play a bit of devil's advocate on this thread,

me and my wife both play video games together and she always mods her games to wear more skimpy armor.

Some women actually really like that stuff, at least ones I've known.

Some of the pictures OP is posting belong to one of those Asian MMOs where everyone is half naked and carries giant weapons.

But I wouldn't mind skimpy "armor".
Maybe some light armor with the belly exposed.
Or a fancy robe for clothies... they dont that much armor.

It just has to be done in good taste. Functional but "sexy".
Let players decide how they want to do this.

And make sure an armor that covers everything for men but makes female characters half naked doesnt happen.

Maybe someone wants to see skimpy Astarion. Well let them.

yes because this is not real life its a game and a fantasy game on top of it. we all want More Sexy Armors and clothing in our games. if you want the real thing you can go play medieval game that are "realistic"


DnD is what you want it to be it had seduction skill/roll/ check and feat in its previous edition/ video game too

You keep saying we.
Who else?

Honestly the armor examples you showed were very cringy and were so outside the art style and theme of this game.
Why would my character... any character walk around with their ass hanging out?

Your armor ideas belong to modded skyrim and asian softcore porn MMOs.

I want my armor to look first and foremost like armor.

I do not think that sexuality = armored bra, but the fact that we need more beautiful clothes for both guys and girls is definitely. I don't like wearing a standard robe; I want to be a cool sorcerer.
If Larian adds more sexy clothes for girls, but not an armored bra - normal, stylish, sexy clothes of course it will be very cool and I fully support this idea.
For the rest there is a caste scene. + If the players have their own house or castle, it will be possible to buy various non-armored suits, including sexy ones. It is very cool.

Knock it off. Even though I'm not a fan of bikini armour, that's uncalled for.

Not a D&D thing?
I mean did any of you see the artwork for 2nd edition AD&D?

In all seriousness, it makes sense from a mage perspective where Magic sees you through, less so for proper armpit, apart from magical armpit because again, magic.

Do I need it? No. If done with humour or in moderation, sure, why not. Certainly wouldn’t want it as main design philosophy and I’m pretty sure we are safe from that.

I think that's totally a waste of ressources and I think it's totally inconsistent as an armor in such a dangerous world.
But I know many players like to see (half) nude women in video games. Just find it very strange...

thx, I could not have said it better

what is wrong with having a magic pair of panty granting +20 AC but only if you ware only that

For example.

This is what I would call a functional but somewhat skimpy armor for a female warrior.

nice !

Even though Forgotten Realms is a fantasy setting, generally speaking in my fiction I want to have internally consistent worlds which make logical sense - even if they don't actually follow the laws of physics as we know them.

Otherwise, the whole "breaking immersion" thing happens.

and that is perfectly fine if its what you want, but you can't play female thoo since there was not a single full plate made for female in history
this is a GAME on a FANTASY setting rated M, but its fine you have your opinion. so do we

how would you fit those horns in there ?

Well people are already moding some

You are going to source that?
I know for a fact you are wrong... but I want to see you source it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...any_historical_examples_of_female_armor/

was for Queens....and princess, never to be use for battle

the only historical woman to have fight ing battle is jane of arc, you can bet she was 'manly" ala Brienne of Tarth

care to give me a link ?

I'm all in for complete nudity when taking a shower or something, but not in fights, unless it's about a magically shielded creature like an Angel or similar.

There can be sexy and still functional armors; these are actually top tier stuff, because would cost most to make a protective gear that also looks great. Not chain bikini level though, those aren't armor and not even sexy. A tight leather or similar would be far sexier, if the body under it is sexy. Less is more.

The BG3 leather armor already looks better than what most other "western games" have, but I like the realistic style of the weapons most.

Certainly there is place for improvement, to make armor both sexy and functional. Variety is good, instead just basic ugly stuff. The boring old style can still be there for the puritan souls and the poor who can't afford more, next to hot and sexy masterpiece armor pieces.

well said, but I do like the red sonja style

Of course you can play as a female, as plate armor for females looks exactly the same (sans the "equipment" added to some armors")
For horns you need a different helmet with two holes.

Sorry, but I neither need nor want sexy armors in my games. There is no "we" ...

You changed your point.
You said not a single plate was made for women but King of France famously made one for Jean of Arc.

Plate was Plate. There is just so much clothing and other armor that is put in before the plate even goes on that whatever bosom the lady has is completely covered.

Also plate isn't a yoga outfit, it has a lot of space in the torso area.
Men and women can wear the same suit of armor and both have no difficulty to function.

Edit: also the link you provided also confirms what I said.
Literally the first answer says men and women practically wore the same armor with little to no differentiation.

I people want chainmail bikini armor and wicked weasel jockstraps I have no objections as long as they can easily be avoided.
(the AC boost comes from the distraction!) Alternative models would be the best way to go.

But for the love of Bhaal


1. Don't make them mandatory by making the best armor in the game a something that makes the PC look ridiculous

2. Please, please don't include DOS2 endgame headdresses. Looking like a Brazilian Carnival at the end DOS2 was fun in a game that didn't take itself seriously but if *spoiler character* runs around in bikini and ersatz fruitbowl on her head this will break my immersion.

So far BG3 has gotten the tone right and they should keep to that. Serious with some comic relief. More Star Wars than Guardians of the Galaxy. Keep to that tone.

People use "we all" all the time in this forum, I read it a lot of times in the endless posts about 6 man party. But as the survey showed many design choices are divisive. Don't mind it that much.

Regarding the topic, even if you don't like it sexy clothing, many people do (I don't for armor at least), just look at sites like nexus how many downloads mods like that are popular.

For the OP, the mod I posted is Devilish Pack from nexusmods.

They should let us choose how our armor looks.
Plenty of games have it now.

Like AC series, i can have a full plate armor on me but in the menu I can choose to appear in cloth armor or underclothes if I wanted lol!

still am I right they were not made for Woman, but for soldier.
but here we are in a game in a fantasy setting its not the real world and DnD have magic in it the possibilities are infinite. hell you can even have a magic gem that grant +10 ac when you insert it where the sun don't shine. so there is no reason to have "classic" armor looking in a game like this. "we" want options, I don't mind it thoo, hey if you want to "adventure" in full plate mail all day long.

No you are not right.
You want your sexy clothing. You should be honest with that.

Don't drag ahistory facts and misinformation here to push your agenda.
That is unacceptable to me.

If you want to turn this thread into something constructive about sexy armors then by all means go ahead.
I want sexy armors too but I want them practical... and when you start telling me women didn't wear armor or theirs was inherently so different because we could not figure out where the boobs went (even though we did) that bothers me a lot.

There is such a thing as internal integrity and style and atmosphere of a setting.

If things are introduced and added to it that dont fit that specific style, the whole setting loses its uniqueness. Whats worse, once the first such inappropriate item or feature is accepted then more demands will follow, until a unique setting looks like a absurd freak carnival.

What you want, and its definitely not "we" in any sense - is something that should be a matter for modding community. So then every player can decide to introduce such features - for his private purposes.

Not so sure it is the boar we are looking at here



/edit

No the game doesn't need but could certainly do with more armor. I am more interested going the other route though, playing a shield dwarf wizard in medium and maybe heavy armor later.

Haha, are you joking? It's 2020 nobody wants to make sexy looking games anymore, even if a sexy cover art would certainly boost the sales. Bland and unappealing is the current norm.

This game is pretty damn sexy to me.

That is simply not true. throughout history there have been several famous female warriors, including Joan d'Arc, Quenn Boudicca, Triêu Thi Trinh etc
True, not all of them wore full plate armor but most probably they wore the armor typical for that nation and time. Also, having boobs don't stop you from wearing a plate armor. Extremely uncomfortable for sure, but not impossible since, as you might know, breasts are squishy and can be flattened/moved around a bit.

Yes, I couldn’t have said it better myself. I don’t mind if others like this kind of thing (variety is good!). But I really don’t want to equip stuff like this on my characters so please don’t make the best armour exclusively skimpy stuff.

More armour appearance variety in general would be nice, especially with starting gear. I’m currently playing as a cleric and as soon as I recruited Shadowheart I swapped armour with her then immediately sent her to be a benchwarmer in the generic chain set my character was given to start. I’m sure she disapproved.

https://youtu.be/6KHz0qWQA9I

alright we learn things everyday :P

Already seen it.
Look at the first video, around time stamp 9:40.

Men and Women can wear the same exact piece of armor and function.
You don't need to specifically design something just for women.

hardly understand why this subject has raised so much discussion, no we don't demand that, we really just want a good game, look for that stuff in other kind of material

yes , even tho the armor were made for men , a women could potentially fit it there, but only a handful of woman fought in battle,

but no such thing as a armor for woman was made , armor were made for soldier, male or woman, but if you were to ask a blacksmith in the 14th century to craft 1000 armor exclusively for woman and as protective, he would have surely made some adjustment, base on a women body. but it never happen.

The idea of limiting sexuality in games just seems crazy to me. If you can't turn a world of fantasy and fiction to have some kind of freedom, where can you? What is wrong with playing a sexy looking powerful female warrior?
With a magical sexy chain mail + 3 that protect her body better then a NORMAL chain mail cuz its magical ?
if dnd was a realistic table top game, it would not be where it is right now.
people dont want real... they want fantasy.
if you want real, dnd if not for you.

Not potentially.

They could. That's a proven fact.

I do find it funny though that people say "It's an adult game, we want women in plate bikinis."

I don't associate gratuitous T&A with being an adult. I associate it with being a teenager. Not just because of the thirst, but also because there's a general idea among teens that somehow adding nudity and ultraviolence makes things somehow "grown up."

I tend to think that an "adult game" would have frank nudity, but also wouldn't treat female characters as eye candy, instead recognizing them as (fictional) independent beings with their own feelings and agency.

Harnois wears 34A bra size and weighs 127 pounds

it take a very special kind of woman
one that trained to be a SOLDIER all her life.

As I've already said in dataminning thread (and been accused of puritanism which is certainly not a tag I identify with) I'm all in for sexy (I think Lae'Zal's armor is a good example) while keeping it at least somewhat classy or (since I've learned this expression means very different things to different people) somewhat covered.

Again I'd reference Witcher 3 (especially Yen - I love in-game Yen) as a good example of that or even WOW tier sets (also AC Odyssey wasn't bad in this regard).

Sure it would be best if we could have both to keep everyone happy, however that wouldn't be so easy to implement and I think the development team's energy and time would be better spent in many other places. Also that's probably not the art direction they're going for.There are already at least 2 naked mods on Nexus so I'm pretty sure people like OP will find attire more appropriate to their tastes there, than what Larian could ever provide them with.

Also those first two images OP graced us with?! As a real life female archer please let me tell you - a nipple getting in a way of bowstring is an EXTREMELY bad idea (cannot overstate this).


So no "WE" are certainly not asking for anything akin to what OP is suggesting, However decollete, leather corsets, overknee boots, some sidecuts etc - yes please

this is not real life, this is dnd and your nipple are protected by magic.

let's not get on the real amazon of earth subject and see if they were wearing any sexy outfit to attract men?

Evit_it_self. I think the reason to our objections is that we are quite tired of seeing sexiness mixed into every single fantasy game made. You said it yourself, in those games where it's not implemented enough to some players degree, modders will do it.

I can only speak for myself and my opinions but I feel we're soon in to 2021. Isn't it time to let go of the "Sex sells" approach? I can't understand why it's so important still for some players that sex and oversexualization is present in every rpg they play. I mean, the majority of BG1 and BG2 fans should be around 30+ now

That's why somethings, like nudity or armor showing skin, is left to modders and not taking resources away from the development. In my opinion

so why did the dev add all the SEX in the game ?

am wondering.

let me tell you SEX sell.

FFS am only asking for some Cleavage......... in a rated M game.

One thing to ask is why a woman would choose to wear a sexy outfit into battle. I mean, not every woman IRL wears revealing clothing, and even those that do do not wear revealing clothing all the time. So if this were done, I'd like it to be built into the characters somehow.

So for example, maybe it's a female warrior who likes using the distraction/arousal of male combatants to her advantage in combat? Maybe they're a rogue who uses their body as a means of persuasion to hang guys out high and dry? Maybe they're an icy mage who dresses scantily because they like the attention - but also love to crush the ego of men who dare to make a pass at her?

What I wouldn't want to see is a character who seemed more or less totally oblivious to her own state of dress.

It's not in every game though. The Outer Worlds had zero romance content. There was none in Pillars of Eternity either.

stop talking about real life !!!!!!!!!!! get on the subject, this is a a high fantasy GAME RATED M for MATURE. wtih full sex scene , go play maplestory 2 if you want a sex free game

99% of all male gamer play female char.

speak for yourself. YOU want a porn game with boob jiggle physics, not we.
i definitely want better clothing than the shitty robes they got right now but banish that armour bikini into the 70s.

You're right it's not real life but it still looks utterly ridiculous (what are you like 16?).

Look YOU can run around naked IRL or in-game (protected by magic ring of ROFL ofc) for all I care, just don't drag US into YOUR "demands".

Also now I'm really not sure whether or not you're just trolling.

there is porn in the game dude...........
gay , lesbian, monster half demonic sex , name it , its already in the game !!!

and we can't have a sexy robe with some CLEAGE for my mage wtf ????

come back on earth.

Since when did Nudity = Pornography?

this game is tagged with sexual content it goes way beyond simple nudity, I guess you did not saw all the sex scene especially the one with the drow. they will add more of that you know.


but let get back on the subject , Sexy armors and clothing. in a DnD game rated M

Sexy Armor (5e Equipment)https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Sexy_Armor_(5e_Equipment)




Armor (light), rare (requires attunement)

Sexy Armor is a tried and true staple of the Fantasy genre. Whether you are a hulking gladiator in nothing but a loincloth, greaves, and a stylized arm guard, or a sorceress in the "oh so classic" chainmail bikini. Regardless of the look, you are one sexy S.O.B. Conservative, dull, and modest are words that are never used when talking about your characters' appearance. If your armor takes the form of a gown, or robe, than it's descriptors will likely contain words like slinky, low cut, and high slit. If you're in a suit they will be more along the lines of slim cut, and curve hugging, with the V of your shirt coming to your navel to show off your muscles and chest hair. This magical armor thrives on the shear power of looking good!

While wearing this armor your AC is equal to 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. It is impossible for you to pass unnoticed through a crowd. You may cover up to regain your anonymity, but doing so negates the Charisma modifier from your AC.

While wearing Sexy Armor, as an action, you may change the appearance of the armor to suit your style, however, it must be sexy. Lastly, this armor can be worn by any spell caster, irregardless of whether they have proficiency in light armor or not.

Yeah, rather mediocre videos. You really notice how much he struggles with coming up with some arguments why badly designed armor is not bad ("Its hardened steel!!!11!1").

Of course it's a mature game. You can have a full on lesbian sex scene with Minthara right now - with even implied 69ing. That storyboarding suggests a lot more graphic gameplay to come.

And yeah, I'm a male player, currently playing a female (lesbian) character. I prefer playing females in games which aren't 1st person because if I have to stare at a face all the time, I'd rather look at a face I think is pretty. But the camera really doesn't linger much on my character's body. Why would I care how she's dressed outside of the camp sex scenes (when she's undressed)?

But the idea that I go to a game like this to pop a woody is just silly. There are plenty of other places for that. I expect in-game sexual content to be many different things, depending upon the character dynamics, from intimate and sweet, to incidentally humorous, to borderline disturbing. But I don't go to RPGs to get aroused. I'd play a graphic hentai dating simulator or something if that's what I was looking for.

Christ this is cringe.

There is also sexual content in many shows and movies.
It doesn't mean its pornographic... how old are you?
What is happening? This is just so odd.

Look. No one here is that anti-skimpy clothing.
Lae'Zel's armor is already a great example.

The Drow captain in the underdark also has a cool looking armor that we cant seem to be able to loot.

All skimpy in good taste.
But it seems a majority of people here don't want swimsuit armor. And just because there is explicit nudity that its pornographic or this is going to be a game that characters will be bouncing around naked.

If you want that just wait for mods and have fun.
Anyway this is my last reply to this dumpsterfire of a thread.

Guys I'm somewhat embarassed for all of us, but I suspect we're being trolled. OP first graced us with his presence 4 hours ago and has since squeezed out 30 of these "contributions" solely in this thread. Surely no one is this ivested in nudity while apparently having 0 interest in any other field?

So either he's trolling or he should really be leaving his mother's basement on a more regular schedule.

By the way, there is one armor which we know was specifically made for and worn by a female in battle.

It is interesting! Op, please fix the link in the first message of the topic so that everyone can immediately understand what it is about

done! and I added the link in the OP too

Brings a whole new meaning to panty raider, huh?

"sexy and revealing"

stay on the theme

sexy and revealing.

Alright. In the spirit of the topic. Can someone please conjure the man in the pic in that link to my bed and let me see how his armor will protect him from my advances. Forget about Astarion, I want to see this man unleash the animal!

PLEASE NO, NOT ANOTHER RPG WITH STUPID "SEXY" ARMOR. YOU CAN HAVE ONE SET, FINE, BUT PLEASE LET THE REST BE PRACTICAL. LOOK TO DARK SOULS FOR INSPIRATION. Even the helmets in that game were good looking and not platekini in sight


THE HALF-PLATE IN THE GAME ALREADY LOOKS RIDICULOUS. APPARENTLY ONLY BOOBS NEED TO BE PROTECTED




YOU KNOW WHAT'S SEXY? NOT GETTING STABBED

Look familiar?

Been playing it past few days (again) while I wait for a real bg3 update patch

this is a game rated M on a very high fantasy setting including half demonic race who have sex with a drow and elf or what ever in a full nudity scene, but, I can't were a plate with cleavage or a sexy robe.

this is no the real wrold. we talking here, we talking about a video game. where you can let your dream and fantasy become a realty. a place where you can evade, if you want reality well there is reality for that. can you please say on the subject DnD has nothing do to with he real world.

No thanks when it comes to the topic of sexy armor. It does not make any sense from a combat perspective, where your character wearing plated nipple tassels can take an axe to the stomach and come out unscathed. To each their own I suppose, but I would prefer something with form follows function. Now, this is not to say I am opposed to a variety of outfits that can serve varying purposes, from a role play perspective. However, if you want "slutty" or "sexy" outfits, they should not have any armor values and serve only as that, an outfit.

again you are talking about combat in the real wrold, this a DnD a fantasy game with magic item... where you can adventure with a party of 4 sexy elf if I would like too and I sould be able to play a them as sluty and evil as I wish

Offtopic: can you think of a more suitable weapon for this guy than a regular mace?
His clothes are fine, but he could use a stiff whip

I suppose that the characters should be having sex while fully armored as well then? You're comparing wearing sexy armor to full nudity scenes, which does not make sense, as you are fully nude in a fully nude scene. DnD may or may not have anything to do with the real world, but it certainly takes ideas from it.

But getting pierced though...ah ah, amiright?!

Ok. I will stop. Back to the shame corner for me.

Please, leave it to modders or japanese games.
In this regard, total unrealistic (or at least, "stretched") concept should be optional, not the standard.

Well if you have a potion/scroll of stoneskin technically you could do that. There is also the possibility you have a regeneration spell or fast healing capability. Another possibility is if you have Damage Reduction if that is still a thing in 5E. Not sure if they kept that or not. I mean there are plenty of sources of supernatural or extraordinary ways to avoid such things in D&D that you just explained here.

I agree a whip or a cane would have been more appropriate. Not that I know such things...

lol you get it all wrong. let me put it that way, why in a game rate M with full sex, can't we have a little cleavage on armors and robes ??? where is the problem ? don't bring the " its not REAL or PROCTECTIVE enough argument'

its totally irreverent, the ARMOR IS MAGICAL !@!!!!!! MAGICLA FFS !!!!! MAGICAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!! are your armor magic in real life NO! GOD get that into your head people this is a fantasy game with magic item and spell that can give you AC you could have a simple belt that give +x ac allowing you to fight naked...of course its not realistic its a fucking DnD game rate M!!!!!!..............................................this is a fantasy game we talking about here, like I say previously , what if I give you a pair of panty that grant +20 ac but, you can only ware that.... nothing else. would you , throw that heavy +0 plate mail on the on ground and up in the panty ? yes you will Conan the barbarian did, and am pretty sure he like his +20ac panty .

so tell me what is wrong with some revealing armors and clothing ?

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you know that high heel were first worn by guys?

https://www.teenvogue.com/story/heels-history-men#:~:text=The%20origin%20of%20high%2Dheels,appear%20taller%20and%20more%20formidable.

They could create a simple outfit system, which allows us to change amongst available outfits for each armour, that would satisfy EVERYONE.

But I guess that would be too much work.... I don't think Larian would do it...

His armor seems to be inspired by Valsharess, and she carried a whip

My issue here is that

1) Adding sexy armor/clothing just to have it feels out of place and takes away from immersion. Pushing the agenda that more sexiness needs to be added is a bad approach. It will feel forced if you first go for making something sexy, then come up with a reason why.

2) I'm sure Larian will give characters their appropriate apparel. For example, the dream character has revealing clothing intended to look attractive.

3) Sure, sex sells, but this is also a serious fantasy RPG and overly sexy look would also make it look like Larian aren't taken this seriously, leading to bad reputation.

As it is, I'm sure knights are gonna look like knights while characters who are intended to look attractive will have clothing/armor to go with it. In other words, what's the problem? Why is this feedback needed? To remind Larian that boobs are nice to look at? I'm sure they're aware already

This can be optional clothing or armor that you can purchase from the vendor to customize your characters. And where she is dressed by default, these should be special caste scenes, or where it will be appropriate, for example, in a dream, a sexy costume will be very appropriate

idk, since, not a single armor/clothing available for the player is revealing. we def. not heading in that direction. but hey if I have to resort in using mods just to get a chain mail with some "cleavage" or a sexy robe....., I guess I will.

At this point, there are hardly any options to dress your characters. What we need right now isn't more sexy armor/clothing, we need more options in general to make our characters look like we want.

This is like requesting improving a feature that doesn't even exist. We only have some really basic armor that doesn't look that great. It would be ridiculous to have this and slap some armored bra on top. But sure, eventually hopefully we will have cool looking armor/clothing to choose from of which some can look skimpier than others

@OP I wouldn't call that armor sexy. The words 'trashy', 'garish', and 'tasteless' come to mind. I don't mind some delicate or even elegant armor but it's still armor and your examples are way over the top for this game. It's BG3 not 'Succubi from Mars'.

say the guy with sexy vampire avatar on the forum that I am pretty sure you would like to play it in BG3 with a sexy dress.

and BG3 is a game rated M for mature with nudity and full sex scene, you can have sex with half demonic creature(almost a sucub imo), where is the problem with having some "cleavage" on robe and armors that are magical on top of it?. why limiting it like that?

this is not a game for kid by the way its for adult.

check the full post, I linked plenty of robe and armors, and even 5e rule for sexy armors

I'm sorry but as an adult I find that armor pretty immature and more something a horny teen would prefer.

They were suggesting "delicate or even elegant armor". Would you not be satisfied with something like that if it has a bit of cleavage? Or does it have to be armored bra and panties?

Well some players are already objectified enough in real life and would like a fantasy to escape from that. There where will be plenty of modders for the trashy armor, so you have nothing to worry about. I want my knight that wears actual armor and isn't some sex toy. M is for mature, doesn't mean it has to trashy and unrealistic

Sexy Armor (5e Equipment)https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Sexy_Armor_(5e_Equipment)

anything else, but what we have in game .would be better. there is nothing.

I am not asking to have that armor in the pic I linked in my first post its was just a SUGGESSTION to get people in the mood.

A game rated M for mature doesn't mean a game with boobs and almost nude characters.
Take a look at real girls if that's something you're missing.

But I'm already sure you're just trolling.

lets not talk about othere game rated M , we talking about BG3 here who is rated M with full sex scene with half demonic creature. and more. maybe you forgot but there is gay, lesbian and out of this world sex in the game. its even one of the goal.

Yea Yea... you're spotted.

its sad, I thought this community would be more open minded about all the SEX in the game, but looks like you guys are a bunch of goody-two-shoes / Girl Scout. who can't admit they bought the game for all the SEX(boobs) in the first place.

I hope this post will stay open, so people can say what they like or not, without judging, or give the "its not real" argument. in a fantasy video game.

I did know. And the first heel was for horsemen securing the boots in stirrups. Later becoming fashion in Europe as it makes you appear taller. They were though, never considered practical for soldiers walking/running on ground as the heel, especially the stiletto, sinks into soft materials like grass making it troublesome and even hazardous.

I guess, since the intro shows people being snatched from a city, our first starting gear could include boots/shoes with heels. And you can ofc roleplay a character so proud that he/she will never change those beautiful boots to something more practical but uglier on his/her journey.

me warrior with 7 dex me ware full plate mail day , night, eating, sleeping, even on the pot ! :P

Does your warrior also have Intelligence less than 5?

You see, that is why I prefer playing casters. We naturally pick more points in CHA, WIS and INT. Sure, I might not be strong enough to even lift a sword with my bare hands. But that's what my servants are for. Or I just show a little skin to the first strong manly fighter I meet on the road.

Sorry, not interested in boobs. And certainly not interested in strutting around in what a pimp would force me to wear.

Who says gamers on the internet are a bunch of white males wanting everything to cater to the male fantasy?

I refuse that my Fantasy character were anything of what BG3 as to offer, its too ugly anyway. there is only 1 armor that look good . I really hope modelers will create more nicer and more sexy armors and clothing. if the Devs don't

I am totally open minded, sexy and revealing goes both ways. I posted 1 or 2 male pic.





it not like males in video game , is not showing skins......

If that hand brings out another piece of underwear, you will lose it

come on stay on topic please!

I think all of you should be banned from using the character creator ever again.

yours made me more laugh then his. Splendid work there !

Can you put my hair in corn rows? I want something to go with my nipple-less, orange, sparkled, unitard. And do you carry slippers that you could wear on the trail but would still feel special if someone slipped them off your feet one by one?

This is not my gnome, I took it from the topic where people share screenshots of their characters. Someone is really acting out a transgender gnome. This is his perception of himself, who he always dreamed of being.

I am the drow of the Seldarine, wizard:



And I would like to get a more interesting mantle for the wizard

I guess the half bald, could be consider sexy and revealing ? hahahahahaaha!

That was unnecessary, dude. It's not funny .. Let's look at pretty girls in armor

there is no end to it

ART

I am 100% serious, I'd rather run around like that than as a chick in lingerie.

Ok OP, That's enough. We get what you want. Some of us disagree. Continuously uploading new pics won't change our minds and it doesn't bring anything new to the discussion either.

This thread:

The difference between the first picture and the rest? The first one shows armor. The others do not.

Why only girls?. So far the only picture of worth imo was the guy in the sexy armor link.

And no, with that I do not mean we should start uploading a bunch of pics of half naked men. I know how a search engine works if I need that. Thank you very much

sorry ! nope.

Why do you only want the women in underwear? Where are the males?

The forum already has a topic where gay sex in the game is discussed, there are many such pictures:

https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=93748&Number=720833#Post720833

It's better to have girls in this one

lol did you just say this is a straight males only thread haha

Not fair, I'm a straight female.

Here's one on me.

Well. that thread is about gay sex, this is about sexy outfits for all genders.

I was serious about conjuring that man to my bedroom though, for, you know...research purposes.

(Now what would be a suitable summoning ritual...and reagents? The testicle of a bison, that's a given. A lock of hair from a nymph for the behavior, a heart from a horse for the stamina, I'm missing something though.... a bar of steel for binding? no no no, that's way too much)

Oh, are you guys still here? Go away, I'm busy

you know, nobody stoping you from going on google and do some search for some bad ass sexy male full plat mail, and post the picture in here, I have nothing against it. I am a men I like women, I post sexy and revealing picture of high fantasy related to dnd, world and lore, but you are just fooling around in my post....get out or post constructive stuff.

Nobody even opened the link

get the fuck out of my post dude....

I inspect links :p

Considering you want trashy armor that since I always play female characters I would be forced to wear. I will fight you tooth and nail. EN GARDE!

Okay. Morrigan!
(the Wunderwaffe went into battle)

Well. I'm sorry OP, but you might have figured out by now(I even told you earlier) that we don't really see you uploading a bunch of pics as being constructive.

my point were made long time ago, every pic I post is pure inspiration for the art dept. here.. wtf are you talking about. there is nothing more constructive then picture of this kind for this thread...........................................
it tell the dev exactly what I want .............

the only contribution that was EVER needed from any of you guys was PICTURE ..................................................................................................

If I have to wear that you can wear this or we can just act normal and wear actual ARMOR?

Im pretty sure they can google "half naked chicks in armor" just as easily as you

no?

no.

that fine, but why you kept posting.... just get out no ? and move on ..... idk...

try to do 1 serious post....

Oh, I won't after this. I'm pretty sure Larian won't turn bg3 into Succubi from Mars or they would have already and it's 1 am here. I also think my point was made quite clearly. Thanks for the laughs though

Because this is a forum. Where people discuss different topics. Discuss, not having a dialogue. That means that you will meet people who's opinions disagrees with yours. And your topic is one of the more controversial ones. So meeting critique is something you should have been prepared for.

You don't simply get to write a topic and only get yay-sayers commenting on it. Because then there isn't a discussion.

This dude has seen goblins throwing acid bombs and napalm everywhere and wants more skin exposed. SMH

OP, I gave you an idea for a superweapon - use the Morrigan Argument. The most popular dragon age witch with a revealing costume.
You can also use Yennefer's argument, but it's a little more modest.

sorry but this is the SUGESSESTION AND FEED BACK I was not looking for any arguing from super close minded player who don't like their char to be sexy. it was not really open to discussion , you say hey I like tha idea hey I dont like it m and you move on................ it was a SUGESSESTION no a discussion

you don't start a argument that is totaly irrevenant about this not been REAL or PRATICAL, in a fucking fantasy world ...........................

Just like you only post 1 picture and move on?

yeah dude.... but since nobody took it seriously I was the only one posting, to keep the thread on the fucking subject.

and if you agree , then posting some pic helps.

Minthara is a good example that sexuality does not depend on clothes. I liked her better than Morrigan from Dragon Age.

Look how beautiful she is in her armor.

oh look a half naked RED monsters !

does not seam to bother any one he is not waring full plate armor..... ?
this game need More Sexy and Revealing armors and clothing
I tell you !



I wish those scene were not bugged as hell.

Yeah, maybe also forgetting that everyone has a substantially "less armored" version of themselves at certain points.

Monster? He's a goblin. Hobogblin to be precise. How many hours did you play Baldurs Gate 3?

Based on what hes focusing on...2, 2 and half minutes?

YES I DO! At first I tried to be respectful and modest in my feedback because I believe everyone has a right to voice their opinion, but the more you post the more I want to scream in your face that your topic is basically asking Larian to turn their next game into yet another medium where it's allowed to sexually objectify humanoid characters, especially females, when that's something modern society is trying to get rid of. And for a good reason. So who is being close minded and can't keep up with the times?

A game can be rated mature and even contain sex scenes where so is appropriate without having to entertain immature teenagers sex fantasies throughout the whole game. but don't worry, from now on I will leave your thread alone.

I love that you've tagged the heavily modded Skyrim with complete lore-unfriendly... well... everything, which does not exist in the vanilla game whatsoever. Something like TERA Online or BDO would have been more appropriate.
I'm pretty sure with the ease of modding this game Baldur's Gate 3 Nexus will turn into Skyrim Nexus very soon.

On the topic, I don't actually mind sexy clothing. Just make it look the same for both genders. A bit of cleavage would not hurt.

I'm sorry, my common is a bit rusty, I must have misheard that. The last man who said that to me in my language ended up getting his toe and fingernails pulled out one by one before his, i forget the word, we'ha was removed.

As long as it is lore friendly, looks cool, and befits the person wearing them. I don't care. it's not something I am sensitive or have a strong opinion about outside of those three things.

I am actually a girl XD girls enjoy cleavage too you know

I was just amused at the idea of someone actually saying that to a drow huntress lol

Mods, my man. The mods will be ridiculous. You'll get what youb want. Just not from Larian.

Those showing a lot of cleavage tend to get their ribs cleaved in battle and therefore suffer a lot of hurt.
Please no armors that make no sense. If it needs to show a lot of skin, make it clothing. The combination of Armor and Revealing is a case of conflicting product specifications. "So you want a plexiglas covered hole in your tank to show the awesome autoloader?" "Sure, why not" "Missiles?"

yup the post did not when in the direction I wanted, some very closeminded community you have here, 0 imagination. I never thought dnd fan were so prudish the "fan art" around the world say another story thoo.
and with inexistent moderation. it hard to keep this kind of subject on the track.

some people agree with me thoo.
if you delete all the out of the subject and troll post we might get a descent post going.
(even mine)

Need a web site called www.WhatsMyArmorClass.com where we can all vote AC10 on all of these...

Just figured out the solution. Magic ring, expensive 50,000 gold or 50 "Platollars", requires attunement, glamours. Boom. Also, all of the skins require 10 "Platollars" which you can buy at a 1:1 exchange rate with US Dollars to unlock. Marketplace, a rare class of merchants, some say they are descendents of the original humans from "Earth" called "Modders" sell them. The Luminous Being takes a % of their sales after approving their wares.

This thread has made me change my mind. Please make a +5 Borat thong and please make it the best armor in the game.

reality sometime, goes beyond fiction.

There won't be any skimpy outfits.

I can tell you that flat out right now 🙂

Edit: Armors, anyway. I won't speak for romance scenes!

Now that that is settled, can we please go back to the original intent of this thread and post Borat pictures?

I thought you guys took all feedback/suggestion seriously..... I guess I was wrong.
still feel very odd to me to have all this SEX in the game but we can't have some simple cleavage on a robe for the player to ware.
but I guess where you guys FAIL to provide the modeler will

I guess that's why the 3rd most downloaded mod is a nude mod, and that's not what I am asking for.

you guys could at the very least provide us with OFFICAL tools to make my dream armors become a reality.

Thank you very much, now I am calm
This is the kind of community work we all wanted from Larian.
I hope you don't stop there, how about reassuring those who are worried about the "evil root" in the next topics?

Orbax, don't press your luck. That was just being mean Funny, but mean.

I think we made our standing point very clear and even though I feel it's fair to criticize something, this is starting to turn into bullying. And that's not ok.

Not even clothes?
I don't see why we can't get variety in clothes and robes for both male and female characters.

Not having any of it just limits people in terms of RP.
Look at Wyll on the loading screen for example, why can't we get robes that are a bit unbuttoned like that?
It'd just be really disappointing to me if there was just none of that in the game I mean it so severely limits people in terms of how they can style and imagine their character...

Also, Lae'Zel's armor could technically be said to be somewhat skimpy bottom down.
I don't have any problems with games like Tera, in fact I kinda find those games fun.
But I don't think that anyone is actually asking for that in the game.
But some variety at least would be great...

Edit: Some examples of what I mean ( also the Nightsong example which was in the datamine thread ).

Im actually down for camp clothes. I want a smoking jacket and pipe. and a monocle.

I pretty much started edging away when I saw this thread as a Sphere of Annihilation preparing to spiral out of control and consume any that tried to direct it. That said, yes, not cool to let difference of opinions turn into an all out fight - interwebs or no. It is just a game. I, personally mind you, have no problem with or without skimpy/revealing armors, but I also like variety of armor types. From traditional plate armored warriors to sorcerers or sorceress wearing revealing robes or the bizarre! I think fantasy has a place for whatever you want, because it isn't constrained to physics as we know it. Magic makes anything possible. The only point I was trying to make with my posts in this thread is let people make the characters they want and not expect personal preferences determine how someone should be armored or wear.

I do, however, wish armors look better than just patch jobs. I get at low level everyone is assumed to being dirt poor just starting out, but if you have the Noble background why would you look like someone armored/clothed with the Urchin background? Really the only armor I am cringing at right now is Leather Armor. It looks very boring aesthetically speaking. Not saying it shouldn't look fairly common, but all the other classes start with some decent starting gear visual wise.

Githyanki armour seems to be quite heavily influenced by classical Greek themes (AFAICT, not being an expert in the subject; but a D&D-playing friend over the road is so I could ask her...) rather than sexiness. More clothing options would be nice, though. And more shoes, of course.

One thing I'd like to see in much more general terms is TES-style inventories where you can loot all the equipment an NPC is wearing rather than just a random junk selection, though I guess it might imbalance the game's economy. And encourage the murder of NPCs to acquire nicer clothes...

In Oblivion, it was impossible to get this beautiful armor from the guards who guarded the tower in imperial city


I don’t remember there was any clothing that was impossible to buy - except for the robe of the necromancer. But they did not allow me to play for the side of Mannimarco, Necromancer Guild and could only be played for the Mages Guild (my biggest disappointment is from the Elder Scrolls)

Ok let me clarify...

Not Skyrim-skimpy 😛

I’m sure this request is music to Swen’s ears…

I don't disagree with you, that's why I said skimpy and not sexy tho.
I don't think that the datamined Nightsong outfit in that thread is sexy either, it just looks ceremonial/ tribal to me.
As you're implying skimpy ≠ sexy, it's contextual.
And our perception and opinion of what sexy entails will differ too.

Altho I think that some sexy outfits adds RP value too, it's a form of expression that is fun.
But skimpy entails things that are revealing just in general, I mean I think that it becomes a bit silly when some people make arguments that a shirt or robes that are a bit unbuttoned or show some legs is suddenly '' unrealistic '' but then they're fine with Lae'Zel's armor ( which is supposed to be actual melee armor too ).
And there's also some level of double-standard where people just look the other way or don't even acknowledge male characters with their shirts off.

Hehe, murdering NPC's for clothes sounds like something my character would do .





Thanks for some form of clarification albeit vague still but I can't blame you lol.
I get that it's not like you can post screenshots or anything.
I haven't read through this thread in all honesty because discussions surrounding this tends to give me a headache from both sides, it just tends to devolve into bad faith arguments etc.
I was trying to avoid it, it just tends to make me mad.

Just understand that there are people too who don't necessarily want to see all of the gear in the game like robes etc be covering from the neck down.
I think most people want some form of variety for both male and female characters, not everyone wants to RP Gandalf xD.
I actually do like gear designs like in Tera and BDO, but I understand that it's not how it is in Baldur's Gate and that's not what I am asking for.
It's just that when I hear a mod say '' no skimpy outfits '' what I think of isn't exactly the most extreme Skyrim mods lol.



This is a good point too and just reinforces what I am saying too.
It's a RPG, let us RP.
Not everyone is just playing as '' Vault Dweller '' who's a typical Knight or Gandalf the Wizard.
More diverse attire and gear allows for people to RP as the character of their chosing better, I don't think that it should all be designed for just a single archetype.

Will Minthara have other clothes besides the armor that was in the first act? Although I'm quite happy with this one.

That would be more realistic. I guess it would make sense for a dwarf not to be able to equip elven armor. All items carried should be in the NPCs inventory but not necessarily one size fits all. I know, people would complain that the cool armor they found does not fit them.
Oblivion was horrible when it came to armors. At some point ebony armor suites costing as much as a house were standard equipment for poor bandids lurking in some dirty ruins hoping to steal cheese from travellers.

Why could we not have crafting styles? This should please everyone without having to resort to mods. Plans can be found/bought/whatever, add your armour and the plan into the crafting window, now you have something you would like to wear. There could be racial and maybe class styles and other styles to account for sexy or not but everyone should be able to wear any of them.


I am surprised you want her wearing anything really.

No, thanks. Keep the realistic armors.
For those who want more sexy outfits, looots of mods will be availible, for sure.
I want my character to be a cleric/mage/ranger/whatever, not a pom pom girl.

More options through vendors would be ok (for rp perspective). But pleaaaase, make them optionals, not mandatory. I hate when the more powerfull mage robe/armor in a game is a display of my character's anatomy and that I have to wear it if I want the good stats XD

That's actually a good idea, I only briefly played ESO but I remember it having gear craftable in different cultural styles.



Why does only what you want matter tho?
People are asking for more diverse options that's all.

I don't really like typical gear like we have right now, it really does nothing for me especially the robes ( I prefer spellcasters ).
Why should the gear just all revolve around what you want?
I think you can deal with some gear here and there that doesn't suit your taste, just like how I have to deal with it with basically every other gear set.
I don't mind having access to optional transmogs, but at the same time I don't think that all of the gear by default should have to be modesty approved by the nun across the street.

I really wish we could drop this notion of realism too.
If you don't like it then just say it, there's no need to try and justify your dislike for it by arguing about realism. The gear isn't realistic and when we get into things like robes and clothes they're not going to protect you.

Edit: So long as it's in line with the setting of Baldur's Gate ofc.
In which skimpy gear already exists.

While i agree somewhat sexy attair would be nice etc, Demanding anything wont get you much luck imo.. So some gears(like Mages and Barbarians etc) are good sexy/revealing others like heavier armor seems a bit crazy 🤪 to be half naked, but i agree alternatives should be there.

Like you said. rated M for mature, not R for rediculous.
Also, have you checked the community update where they showed a mashup of all characters players have created? Its a MALE human. seems to me that a lot less than 99% of male players play female characters.

I don't find her attractive at all just saying... She looks like a guy, with bad hair.

It's really a question of realism for me though. A half nude female warrior breaks the immersion for me. Why a warrior/ranger/etc. would wear an armor like that? I might be biased because I am myself a female and I don't see the appeal of this kind of stuff, though (I don't find hyper-sexy women attractives)
I admit I am a bit fed up with oversexualized women in video games.

sorry if I don't use the right words, english is not my first langage and I'm a bit rusty.

This whole thread is so hilarious... Please just wait for mods.

Also, I'm sure the developers will put in some sort of "sexy" armor without it being straight up pornographic. And by sexy I mean a few pieces of armor that show off more of your pc's figure either through being a bit more form fitting or having a reasonable balance of skin shown vs. covered. As a female player I don't want to see something like a mage robe with a huge plunging neckline down to my naval just to show off my cleavage out in the open world for no reason. Unless something like that is on a character where it makes at least some sense like a female drow sorcerer in Menzoberranzan, I could do without it.

Although... Larian, if you're reading this, I just want to say that if there's armor made with a boob window for female pcs then there better be a boob window for male pcs as well. That's just equality, babes ;~*

Holy shit thirteen pages in a single day

What's the point of armor looking realistic when combat is not realistic?

If everything isn't pure blue, why not make everything pure red?

You made me laugh thanks.. and you have a point.

how about Sexy, but not revealing ?

Yeah this thread is very odd and very surprising how quickly it has grown vs many more important things, though I guess the pictures bloat the page count.

Either way, I maintain choice is good, if there is the occosional skimpy outfit available, as long as it kinda fits thematically I am certainly all for choice. Beauty is in the eye (or oh so many horrible eyes) of the beholder after all.

For example the Drow or certain factions/religions. Witcher universe did it with Sorceresses because Magic and style went hand in hand, that works for me.

Immersion. And also people fed up with oversexualization(particularly of women but not solely) in not only video games but pretty much any kind of media that exists. In song lyrics, in photographs, in movies and in video games. Fact is, game developers have been much slower in tuning that down compared to other media formats which has been debated over years why that is. Because it's the youngest media format? Because it's a business still mostly dominated by males? Because it's the last bastion in modern society where guys expect to be allowed to be guys and giggle over seeing some boobies, even if they are animated? I don't know. But I think its time for developers to stand up and embrace the female population of players and tell them, we do not see you, your gender or your bodies as sex objects. So I love that larian has kept the cloths and armor a bit more realistic. Now, I know that there ofc are women that would like skimpy clothing on their characters as well. But that should be a choice, not being forced upon them in the majority of video games. And nudity is more than welcome, if it is presented in the right context. I feel that Larian gets that. and so do more developers each day. And that's good

Bad combat breaks immersion just as fast as half naked gears.. Just saying.

therefore why not break everything? the hell kind of point is that

I really don't have a dog in the sexy outfits fight (though I'd be fine with sexy outfits if they were in the game). I was only reacting to the "It's not realistic" claim because if we're going to be talking about things that are not realistic, bikini armor will be quite far down my list of things that are not realistic (and thereby immersion-breaking). And, while on that point, if sexy armor is unrealistic in battle, then wearing armor at all during a romantic scene or a sex scene is equally unrealistic and immersion-breaking.

It's almost amusing how a blatant troll thread managed to climb on top of the most active topics in this subforum.

There never seems to be any achievable middle ground when it comes to this topic?

For me, escapist entertainment that insists on being "realistic" when it comes to gender armor that might be revealing, just because of the ongoing watercooler chatter from those who are hardwired to take offense, is easily muted or pacified by games including options for those for whom modern sensibilities of realistic attire seems ridiculous within a fantasy setting.

...

My childhood crush and all time favorite female fantasy hero. No plate bikini needed,

We do? I didn't get the memo.

The Community: Why isn't Larian listening to us!?

Also the Community:

If you are asking "how is this skimpy armor supposed to be effective?" then you clearly didn't account for the fact that the armored parts are the only points we men can focus at.

It would actually be funny if there was some sexy robes or something in the game that gives disavantage to humanoid male characters attacks
Anyway, the city of baldurs gate at least should have a shop for all our clothing needs

I wonder what clothes Mizora will wear when we find her. She's a demon, sukuub?
Let sexy clothes / armor be present in the game, but only where it is appropriate and does not interfere with the immersion.

I am worried about the Shadow Heart armor from the official art, so it is sexy, although not frank. I want to get it for my Shadow Heart. Cool armor for Shar's cleric!

While Shadow Heart's sexuality isn't armor at all, she's quite cute in nature and has a pretty face and teenage goth voice.

Looks like her clothes were already modded in

And for all the people wanting leather bras, your prayers are already being answered by Nexus https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/59?

I meant Will's girlfriend who gave him super powers, and not the one who comes in dreams

Yes that is supposedly Mizora's dress. The one that comes in dreams wears something called a Daisy dress, which is pink (https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/3474/images/35/35-1603511625-2059761666.png). Or are you surprised it is so... modest... for a demon?

Half naked armors are just as normal in a Fantasy rpg as anything else.. Its become trendy to hate on it but they have been around for years.. Good or bad a little skin wouldn't affect the game at all. Bad mechanics that really effects the game.

Good news and cheers for Modders yet again.


She was pretty revealing towards the end of the movie. Funnily enough thats the movie that got me into Dwarves and Halflings.

Who is she and which film or TV series are those shots from? I don't think I've seen that one.


Just as an aside, when I was an older teenager, my younger brother and I used to rent all the cheesy barbarian and sword-and-sorcery videos from our local video hire shop.* I forget how many we went through. They were unintentionally hilarious, and featured enough gratuitously revealing impractical clothing and armour to keep the OP happy for weeks.



*Like Netflix but housed in a brick building, for those too young to remember them.

I dunno ...
I dont see core of this question in Lack, or Need of "sexy" (Let's put aside that even the very definition of this word differs from person to person) armor ...

But in fact that designers usualy focus on just only option, and let the other go. :-/
Therefore one group is allways forced to submit to the other. :-/

If there will be "some"(!) usable types of both, what is the harm?

Ugg the Daisy dress . . . I guarantee that isn't what my character dreams of !

I'd probably die laughing if my partner showed up in THAT!

Realistic armor, faces, and sensibilities is the LAST thing Id want in a FANTASY COMPUTER game based on a PnP fantasy game with 40+year of interesting content.
Go CRAZY dammit, this isn't Cosplay's gate 3.

Holy Horniness, Batman.

I hope y'all are aware that there are corners of the Internet, where you can get all the animated waifu videos that you want, right?

Seriously: no worries the mods are already in the making, but lets not have big tiddie cleavage heavy armor please.

There are some situations where attractive civil clothes would be a great idea, like having a quest at a noble's party in Baldur's Gate.

But to be honest, most fanart and pictures that are shared by OP and others here are cringe inducing.

Dude, if youre that thirsty, go watch some porn and jerk off.

Misogyny in computer games is a thing of the past.

#GetWithTheProgram

I just wanted to say that I could never have found a more adequate reply to this post as the one you added.

Well done.

The worst thing was getting an unrewound tape. Yay, I finally got this film and now I need to wait until tomorrow morning for it to rewind. And it's recorded using anti-copying technology so it'll be completely unwatchable.

So true!

From the movie Willow.

I liked that film, but I don't remember it well enough to recall her.

What does stick in my mind, however, is the two-headed dragon in the courtyard. I modelled my Runequest dragonsnail on that Willow dragon.

I'm all for the fantasy tropes, I'm playing a game to escape reality. Have variation, not all armor has to be revealing but it's nice if it's an option.

Reality is overrated, I don't see them adding beer guts to the male characters, can you catch STD's from your romance partners? Are Gith body parts even compatible with humans? What if they have cloaca's or something. It's a FANTASY game, I don't fantasize about women in burka's (hey, you do you), it's a trope and a lot of players, mature and not, enjoy it.

It's like a metal Burka....

It's not necessary to have this in a game, if that is what you want then go find that elsewhere where you can see it in abundance, like porn fantasy. Fantasizing over Baldur's Gate heroes seems a bit much, really? I would also like to enjoy this game, and many women (adult game or otherwise) find it offensive to have so much oversexualizing of female characters. I'm frankly sick of it. And seriously though, how does this armor protect the hero?

+1

I personally find cosplayers who wear practical armours to be alot sexier then the ones wearing chainmail bikinis.

But might just be me!

It's pretty ridiculous for melee types to wear bikini metal - unless theyre a berserker type - but I think it makes a lot of sense for casters AS AN OPTION. Mages are sensitive, intuitive, and I think it's realistic for female mages to potentially prefer more revealing clothing. It can be a reflection of their artistic mind. I could completely believe a female mage evoking their artistic beauty by choosing to reveal more of their bodies.

Typically. male bodies are just not as artistically beautiful - powerful and attractive in different ways, but not really in a natural physical form sense. Of course, there could be half-naked male mages too, though Id guess any of them which chose that would end up celebrating a more feminine quality of beauty within themselves.

Soo - I think it makes sense for magic users, berserkers, or pretty unique and skilled assassin types! Even still, though, it'd be quite a statement of character. Which SHOULD have a place!

That, is simply not true, It's completely up to the eye of the beholder and also affected by the conditioning of what people now a days see as stereotypical masculine and feminine. A fashion designer would have no problem making a long sleeved, low cut, high slit dress that perfectly conforms to a male model's psychical features. But the majority would still question, "why is he wearing a gown? That is for women only."


Another note is about berserkers. Berserk comes from nordic languages like swedish and literally means "bear shirt". It's a misconception that berserkers fought barebreasted or without armor. They didn't. They wore armor like all the other soldiers but just before combat and sometimes even during it, they also dressed themselves in bear pelts as symbols of the strength of the animal. And in close combat they roared and showed their grins to scare their combatant as well as fighting ferociously without minding about non deadly injuries, fighting until either the enemy or they themselves lied dead.

I despise sexy armor. If there is sexy armor then it shouldn't have an armor class since it doesn't cover anything.

I'd hope it's safe enough to suggest curves are naturally more beautiful than straight lines - at least to humans - they are more interesting. That doesn't mean we cant be very attracted to straight lines for whatever legitimate reason. The issue here is being able to define "beauty". I think it's somewhat possible, though you and others may think there is no objective standard. I think that's fairly preposterous, but no matter.

Take berserkers off the list, fine, but leave mages who may feel open and unique enough to not mind wearing revealing clothing! Armor class 0, sure - except for enchantments! And very unique rogue badasses may choose to wear little also.

And sure, give men revealing options too then.

enchanted banana hammock or mankini , lets go.

It's naturally more beautiful to you. That's because "defining beauty" is completely subjective. You can find a norm that is hold by the majority for sure. But it's still subjective. Should I take your response as women without curves ain't beautiful? Well maybe not to you, but to others they are.

As to whether which classes should be allowed to wear revealing clothing I would say, all of them. Anything else is just unfair. But the repercussions of that choice becomes limited for some classes that don't need armor protection, like sorcs and wizards and to some degree, stealthy characters that would never freely choose to engage an enemy in open combat. If you wanna fight a monster in only your underwear. Go ahead, who am I to stop you. But don't expect to survive the encounter.
I don't mind if someone wants to run around in a plate-tini(even though I do question the level of maturity of that person) but I do mind if that item suddenly is offered me in a medieval fantasy game. Like, where did this come from. Who created it and why? What purpose does it fulfill in this world?

So you are right about clothing which leads us to the next point.

As it has been pointed out several times, the objection I have isn't only about perceived realism in a fantasy game(even though it certainly carries a weight to follow the setting, otherwise we can start incorporating machine guns as well, because why not) but even more so about the constant objectification of(especially females) bodies in media. It needs to stop. Women play video games too. Gamergate was a real thing and it showed the gaming industry that women are fed up with out dated misogynistic perceiving of the female role and function in games. And I, even though I'm a man, agree with them.

So. I certainly also want to see more variation in clothing/armor. Different colors, materials, models, cultural influences etc. But I have no need of them to be revealing to be considered sexy. Who says the robes we have now ain't sexy enough?

On the topic of male vs female, I would generally avoid having male only or female only clothing unless there's a physical reason for it. Rather allow players to decide whether a piece fits their character or not than a gender classification.

Lae'zel have good outfit, no? I mean like ‘sexy good’ u know.

It doesn't really matter to me. Only the mages ' armor looks boring. They're just drab robes. I want armor to look more interesting. But sexy? Astarion already looks quite sexy in drow armor so…

Hate to break it to you but gamergate wasent about woman beeing fed up with anything and defenitly not misogyny. It was about gamers beeing fed up with the incestious relationship between game developers and game 'journalists' and that people were fed up with their favourite medium beeing hijacked by these people. They made gaming journalism a joke and sadly most of it still is just that...

The idea that gamers as a whole dont appreciate woman if they arent rubbing around in bikinis is laughably false. If that were the case icons like Samus or princess zelda wouldnt be popular at all, but the opposite is true.

To bring it back on topic, im sure baldurs gate will have a *cough* more adult part of time where scantly clad people (both male and female) are bound to be found. For a set of armor to be scatnly clad though it either needs to be heavily enchanted or done as a joke because in terms of protection its not very practical

There is a lot about the game that needs to be changed and i mean A FKIN LOT but this for sure is not one of the them

Illusion magic can make you....... or anyone else, look like anyone. You can make a 400lb battle scarred 8 foot half-ork barbarian female look like a half elf wearing two sickers and a thong. If fact that would be hilarious, just wait till we get to the bedroom sweety.

Unsuspecting perv - "Arrrrr wtf is that"
Orkzilla - "Too late late now stumpy I got you for dippin..."
Unsuspecting perv - "Put me down......Arrrrr squelch.......by the go.....squelch.
Roll 20 to escape - rolls 4
Unsuspecting perv - "damn you D20....squelch".

Narrator - Man leaves the bedroom dipping with goop and the curse of PTSD briefly turning to see his lover eating a cow leg and smoking a pipe.

But seriously sexy armor is a modder thing it doesn't make much sense outside of sorcs, monks and mages. Clothes maybe.

Yes, it suits sorceresses as there is a logical explanation. Everyone loved Morrigan's clothing design and no one criticized. If it's just clothes, that's fine too. But if you are a warrior, then you need such elegant solutions for armor as Shadow Heart (in art) and Minthara. Gityanka's female armor also looks pretty good.

This is a bait/joke post, right? I'm not going to read 15 pages of it to find out.

Please keep this BS out of the game.

Broh you are litteraly twisting what he said, ı am in the same opinion, makin love is a normal thing, not like the slaying monsters while pointlessly naked.

I am not opposing the sexuality or nudity just it would be so glaring that can fend off all the haviness of the story and the staidness.

I mean this is a ROLE PLAY, and I can't even think how can you get yourself in the story and in the lore, the universe while that you re talking about.

At least ı can't because of the even a bit realistic expectations of the rpg world that ı am in while playing .

Well, I noticed they're not completely averse to characters in skimpy attire - Nightsong for example.
(Spoilers!)



And while maybe not sexy, some of the armor designs are pretty impressive.
(Also spoilers!)

Ok so having sexy female armor is not realistic.... WTF!!!!??? What a bunch of picky BS.

Ok lets be reaslistic.
HOW CAN YOU CARRY SO MUCH ITEM CRAP IN YOUR BACKPACK?? A BACKPACK THAT YOU CANT EVEN SEE ON YOUR CHARACTER. Yea thats incredibly reaslistic.
You know how much 5000 gold coins weight?
With all that food, shouldn't it just rot after a couple of days???? How does FOOD give you HP????
Potions??? WTF. How can you successfully carry potions without having them break during combat???

Sexy male/female is part of the fantasy world we all love. It doesnt have to be ALL of the armor. Just some of it.

Just use mods like those nasty, lore-breaking mods that were made for Skyrim. I don't agree with this at all and if anything, I'm so glad Baldur's Gate doesn't feed into the oversexualization of female characters like almost every other game does. I am so SICK of it.

+1

Could you elaborate on whats nasty about sexy male/female look armors in a fantasy game?
This might be a cultural difference, are you American by any chance? lol. For me sexy looking does not mean X rated incredibly nude armor. Its just , you know, sexy looking. Like a sexy looking party dress.

I am trying to stay away from this thread for the sake of my own sanity, but just to add this since some may be interested.

I noticed this earlier too but I didn't look up the concept art until now.
An example of the reverse of what tends to happen where female characters are covered up for even minor skin exposure, and I hate it too.
In-game the male version of the Githyanki armor has ugly white baggy pants which compromises the design, I dunno why they changed this with the male version.
The pants on the male version looks totally out of place imo...

I wish the devs would make the male version more accurate to the concept art too.





I dunno on what planet you're living on if you actually believe that this is true.
The only games I can think of with sexualized designs are old games from like 10+ years back that are still going.
If anything the Western industry in particular is scared to death of it.

I also think that people are a bit quick to call something '' oversexualized ''.
OVERsexualized implies that it's too much and crosses some kind of a line, and I think that is highly contextual.
In a game where everyone walks around in their underwear the context of what is and isn't '' oversexualized '' is going to be very different than in a game set in a universe where everyone walks around in turtlenecks.
I really wish that people would stop throwing the accusation of '' oversexualization '' at basically anything skimpy.

And also literally only at female characters, I never see anyone call male characters even sexualized alone when they very clearly are.
Like people won't even acknowledge a character like Varus in LoL as sexualized but then they'll lose their collective minds about a tiny bit of v-neck on a female character.
People are so incredibly hypersensitive to womens bodies.

Like seriously you have almost every single modern Western game that is designed to your liking, and you're complaining.
I find that quite infuriating as someone who enjoys sexualized designs and content.
Even moreso when what I like tends to get censored so incredibly frequently now.




I kinda get the stereotype about Americans when it comes to this, but I think it's a bit of an unfair assumption too.
Gaming is a global phenomenon and there are a lot of countries where women even just wearing jeans is controversial and they have access to the internet and play games too.
That's a very extreme example, but Conservative values and views in regards to sexuality and womens bodies in particular are not uncommon.

And I also think that this is the main driving force behind the more puritan trends in gaming.
It's incredibly naive to think that it's some kind of a missguided pseudo-Progressivism behind it, it has everything to do with greed and wanting to cash in on growing markets that are more Conservative than anything else.
There's very misogynistic and Authoritarian governments that quite literally police this kind of content and won't allow it within their borders.

Another reason why people defending it upsets me too is because it's not only about sexualized content in regards to women, they also police things like depictions of homosexuality, transgendered characters, politics, blood, monsters etc.
People defend and handwave this kind of censorship away a lot but they don't understand how wide it actually is and how much it's going to severely limit developers in the future, it's basically digging ones own grave.

Going by the texture names, they may be different sets of armour: the female version is "Githyanki Halfplate" and the male version is "Githyanki Astral Plane". I'm not sure if that's just the way it is (both models have the same name) or whether we can expect to see male & female versions of both. There are some indications that the armour is still unfinished.

Darn, this is very tasty @-@
I will need a dark re-skin!

Someone like you, who's mostly posted on the forums in favor of hypersexuality wouldn't understand and I'm not even surprised you're the one to make a big deal over me saying 'no thank you' to this request. I don't care if my two sentences have shaken your world view and insulted you. Just like people are free to ask for oversexualizing 3D characters in a lore rich video game can request for it, I'm asking for it to not. I don't like it and I'm damned sick of it. The Githyanki armor is fine and the dress when you choose your 'type' isn't bad either. It's tame. Armor variety is cool too, but making everything for the sake of sex appeal, especially given the lore and context in this story is tiresome and old.

I say oversexualization of women because the original post didn't request for having man-slaves naked in loincloths.

My nationality is none of your business. Just as I don't ask for any of your age, gender and sexuality and decide 'of course you freaks are horny' based on it. I don't care who you are and what you like. I simply find it tasteless when it's nonsensical. Skimpy clothing for 'slaves' or sex workers, should the game have brothels or districts with that sort of content in it, would make sense. People with the purpose of fighting for their lives, dungeon crawling and traveling, dressed in bikini tops and g-strings called 'armor' for no reason other than some people wanting to drool over their virtual wifus and husbandos? Gross. Mods for it? Sure. Not my thing though and I like where BG3 is already going with their design and art decisions.

A reminder to everyone to be polite, please. This sort of topic is going to attract a broad range of opinions but if they must be debated, let's not get personal about it.

I am not the one complaining about the existence of content that doesn't appeal to me in a video game, so it's a bit rich to call me the whiny one but okay.
I got 100 posts so far and I dunno how many but maybe 5 posts or so have been related to this in response to others.
And now we somehow escalated it to '' hypersexuality ''...
My '' world-view '' isn't shaken at all, I just hate it when people project their values unto other people and act like it's some objective fact that the world or an industry needs to revolve around.
Your negative views on sexuality and the human body has nothing to do with me and if anything it's you who are freaking out because someone questioned you on the notion that '' oversexualized '' content is a common occurance.

I just find it quite telling that when you think of skimpy clothing your mind jumps to slaves and sex workers.
Let that sink in and think about that for a little.

Also note that I said nothing about bikinis or g-strings and as has been pointed out before the gear in this game is not realistic to begin with.
And DnD quite literally have people fighting on the frontlines in loincloths ( Barbarians ) and the game is full of enemies already that do.
I don't agree with the OP and their examples of what they want to see in the game, and acting as if that's anywhere even remotely close to anything you'll find in Western video games is quite frankly absurd.
I think that anyone who claims that this is some common thing is either lying on purpose to try and make the situation sound '' worse '' or there's some VERY serious confirmation bias at work.

I do however want to see a variety of different options, like maybe not everything needs to be a turtleneck.
That's very different than wanting bikinis.

Edit: Also, I wasn't the one speculating about your nationality.
Quite the opposite.

I'm all for more armor. I'd love some dying options. Sexy armor seems silly. I'm more for stylish and functional. I would love something for wizards that is not skirted robe. Wizards can wear pants, right? Skirts, kilts, cloaks. diadems, tiaras, they can have some style too. I also think more visual options for the classes who don't wear heavy armor would be nice leather armor doesn't have to look the same for everyone.

No, we don't.

If you want it, wait for mods.

I think the broad point about "oversexualization" and "hypersexualization" of the female armors is the fact that the OP literally only used female armors as his arguing point. No where in his post did he mention the same treatment for male armor. All he posted were pictures of designs and armors that are fap material, plain and simple. Not a single one of you dudes in favor of sexier female armors are also voting for sexier male armors, and hiding behind "haha why are you people so sensitive about the female body" just makes you look like the neckbeard you are.

You want female armors with barely covered tits and a thin piece of metal up her ass and thigh high boots? Then give me male armors with chain armor penis-sleeves and suspenders holding it up and nothing else.

Freaking this. +1

Codpieces were a thing. Not a thing I particularly want to see, I admit, but then again I'm not that big on "what we really need for sexy armour is crotchless chainmail leggings" either. Handy for going to the bog, though.

The cod-piece on plate armour mirrored contemporary fashion. It wasn't that it was required for protection so much as a way to boast. Who'd have thought eh?

For anyone interested, the codpiece is thought to have originated as a way for men to remain 'decent' as fashion dictated skin-tight hose for the wealthy, and looser-fitting two-part long pants or breeches for the common man. When the hose became supplemented by the short puffy trousers so familiar in late Medieval/Early Modern paintings, the codpiece was retained. Needless to say, most were not filled to capacity.

This topic is hilarious. People please grow a sense of humor, most of this thread is satire and a bit of fun but the "literals" are out in force.

In every fantasy game in the history of gaming there is always sexualised men, men don't care. Power isn't being wrapped in a blanket and thrown in the kitchen between pregnancies. Both men and women like to show off their attributes (if they have them) it is fact. Power is freedom to choose. Don't like it, don't do it.

If you want to run into a crowd of fully armored knights stark bollock naked armed with a tea spoon and an algebra textbook then all power too you. It is roleplay, you maybe totally batshit crazy who cares it is not my thing. Nudity isn't sexual I don't care how puritanical your beliefs, it is the imagination that drives sexuality nothing more.

There is no such paradigm as "oversexualised" how could there be? The eye of the beholder (yes I went there come get me) dictates what you see. If you see something as overly sexualised then it's you making that decision based on personal/religious dogma and is in fact forcing your belief on others not the other way round. I am all about freedom, you do you let me do me and we will get along famously.

Nothing saying you cannot get practical and sexy right? Not all armor is plates of steel or chain links. Some of the rogue like leather armor mods for skyrim are works of art and looked the part better than the real thing, full body coverage and subjectively sexy af. Light and clothing type armors give greater dex bonuses and allow tasks such as spell casting, sneaking etc. These are literally anything from an animal skin to body paint.

I said earlier it is up to the modders and devs at the end of the day. I am sure there will be clothes and armors to suit most people on or soon after official release. Fantasy isn't RL we get enough of the crap please lighten up.

Well, you don't.
I was going to point this out in regards to the OP too earlier but I forgot.

No one here speaks on behalf of the '' we '', you only speak for yourself ( as does the OP ).
It's something that kinda annoys me a lot, when people say '' we '' when they mean '' me ''.



Hey I care deeply about historical accuracy here.
So we should be able to fight naked liked the Gaulish '' Gaesatae '' and Zulus!

I jest, but just some thoughts on armor and the context of '' sexiness ''.

I think that something about armor a lot of people don't seem to realize is just how contextual it was.
An adventurer would never wear plate armor you'd never be able to live walking around in that all day every day.
Knightly medieval warfare was fought under a very particular set of chivalric conduct of war where you just showed up on a field and battled it out in a controlled manner in very specific European climates.
It's not like armor has no drawbacks and unarmored troops have beaten heavily armored armies historically before.

Depending on the context, the Barbarian archetype isn't really that far-fetched.
Historically the ones who won were often the ones who forced the opponent to fight on their terms, which was ultimately why chivalry died in the end.



Armor was always gendered too and technically speaking '' sexy '', the few women who wore it simply wore the same as it was the standard *and* war was considered for men.
Breastplates were shaped as corsets at one point because that was considered manly which could really be regarded as the '' sexy '' of the times.
It's also why the Greeks had so many naked male statues, mens bodies have historically been seen as the peak of beauty.
Compromising '' practicality '' for the sake of making it '' sexy '' in that regard has always been a thing.
I don't think that they quite had the same concept of '' sexy '' that we have today tho lol, but the mindset was very much '' oh yeah those sexy tiny waists and shins, mmmmhhh ''.
The way other men spoke about Henry the 8th's masculinity and body was very erotic xD...

And we actually have a lot of examples both from India and Greece where they depicted breastplates for women with breasts on them.
People tend to kinda assume the absolute most extreme and worst examples when talking about breastplates like those and severely underestimate how resistant properly forged steel was.
But it's fair to assume that if war had been more gender-neutral then the armor would've adapted to it to some extent.

Lae'Zel's breastplate is actually a really great example of that which is why I love it so much.
Because what it tells me is that yes, women in this setting as soldiers are a thing and they're acknowledged as women too and they're not frowned upon because of it.
It actually adds and implies quite a lot about the setting.

But yeah I just find this subject matter interesting.
And I think that people have a tendency to sorta focus too much on it from a modern perspective and sorta miss the actual VERY gendered mindset that went into warfare and armor historically.

I will do thanks did in Skyrim will here as well lol 😂 They have already started to make them woohoo!

She looks great but not trusting anyone called Lips of Darkness..

Someone made albums for all the current armors in the game, https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGat...ll_armors_and_weapons_identified_in_the/ and I really like the designs so far. Some of the female models are missing pants which might be an EA issue. If not, then the guy counterparts should also be pantless. That's always been a gripe with me in games where armor is normal on the guy, but revealing when you put it on the woman. I remember Dark Souls 2 had the sorceress set that was just as revealing on men and that's how it should be. Half-plate is kind of having that problem, like it's not skimpy, but it looks weird with 2 very round bowls on the girl's chest and the guy gets more natural looking armor.



I appreciate someone attempting to fix it. Ties in with the current conversation on codpieces lol

The "no pants for ladies" thing going on with some of the armour is strange. It doesn't even look good. The rest of them are kinda hit or miss. The female half plate is the best looking one so far. The padded armor +2 looks great on both genders. The studded leather armors look bad and have too many things going on them. Same with the +1+2 versions of the scale mail. The normal and +1 ringmaiil looks terrible. I don't know what were they thinking. It looks like 80s nerd clothes.
The other heavy armor is Okey but nothing spectacular

Very fair points. Just from my experience living on both side of the atlantic American women in general seems to be overly sensitive on this matter.

Actually, this is a pretty interesting topic for a couple of reasons. Just looking at the OP's first post - I'd say the second example is fairly tacky, but good body and pretty face (hats off, too, to the chap that coded the physics). I really like the drawings of the girls in the later artwork, though. Doesn't seem sleazy or over-the-top, and it's good art, let's be honest.

I'm not bumping this to endorse the 'sexy armour' thing - I think that's best left to modders. I'm bumping this because I think the female models in some of these fantasy games (eg. dragon age inquisition and now BG3) aren't exactly good looking. Witcher 3, I think, got women right - very feminine looking and attractive for what's effectively a pixelated mannequin. And never over-sexualised, unless it suited the scene. 

Don't really care what women look like in games. But playing dragon age inquisition, it was always at the back of my mind that the female models - in terms of body shape, femininity of the faces etc - were particularly unappealing. Again, they're just pixels - but as the OP demonstrated, pixels can be as easy on the eye as a good painting, even if it's not the real thing.

We've two female companions so far, Shadowheart and Green Girl (forget the name). They're both unattractive. Shadowheart, in particular, has a somewhat masculinised face for a woman - even her arms in the loading screens are sort of male looking. Green Girl - ok, she's an alien elf. But look at the art for Viconia in BG2. The kid version of me wanted her in my party because she looked like that, and it was that simple. Nice voice actress too.

In other words, the girls don't need to have the skimpy armour etc, but I do think they need to look more like the girls in art the OP has posted. Because most girls look sexy, let's be honest - the art isn't embellished. You'll see great looking girls all the time, on the streets, in the pub. Except in dragon age inquisition and BG3, where natural selection went for the plain janes.

I don't even come from a country that's noted for its beautiful women, and there's still a lot more women here who are at least good looking than there are plain janes, or masculinsed women. But if they want to sample average female faces/bodies from any of the Slavic or Baltic countries, I'd biasedly endorse that 100%.

Anyway, it is an interesting topic, as I say. By no means crass at all. The girls in the game shouldn't have to look like they walked off a porn set to be sexy. But they should have the sexy shapes and faces you'd see every day while walking about.






 

I emphatically do not request this.

Would people please stay on topic? This thread is dedicated to posting photos of Borat in a thong.

*sigh
This thread was almost dead

This thread contains the most vital feedback on this entire forum. I would even say Larian should immediately scrap the budget for all these lavish cinematics we're seeing and instead spend all that money on making pleasing looking female models. It's 'art', people. It's art.

oh look page 61 of the 5e PHB
that look darn hot baby !

oh yes ! the more I look at the picture in the PHB the more skinnier outfit the girl get ! (lol when I saw the atrocity on the 2 next page my mind totally changed )

As usul diversity would be the best. We went from exclusively objectification of woman (and denying that women too can objetify men) made by men to a control of the female body hid under the "lets not objectify" and made from women (and woke allied men).

Wonder woman is immortal, invulnerable, why should she wear a full body armor? To censor herself because unless she do that men will droll (pretty sure some lesbians would droll too) or other women (and allied woke men) will get offended because seh dares to show her body?

Also i don't see nothing bad with sexification (lets be real we are a sexual species, all we do rely around sex, or absence of it, even asexuality is defined by the paragon with sexuality), it just need to be an option, and one for males and females.

I want the option (and again I miss Daggerfall) to dress my toons as I want, just like I want to see npc with all the variety of body coperture.

I don't like the revised victorian age moralism that has tainted our modern days.

Because we can use all the fancy and progressive words but we are doing is just changing the narrative but still trying to control and cover the body of females (and forgot about that of men, I will develop better this point in another paragraph).

If it is insensate and irrational to think of a warrior or a paladin wearing partial armors* (for those classes armor classes is based on the physical resistence of the heavy armor and doesn't have a dexterity modifier), why should armors that have dexterity modifiers compulsory be full covering?

And what about barbarians and monks whose armor class don't rely on armor?

Or magic classes that have spells wich increase armor class (on the condition no armor is weared)?

As I said: let the player choose, show diversity in how NPCs dress. Sometimes when I play I had the sensation of being in a very conservative sexophobic moralistic society.

And the problem involves male characters too. Just like for the females there must be coherence to the played class, but again I don't get why the must of male bare skin show is only arms, and a bit of chest and niples in the dream scenes.

Maybe I was spoiled by daggerfall in wich you could have your wizard elven follower of the goddess of love and passion going aroun with a mantle, a loincloth, a pair of bracelets, a pair of sandals, and a bag, or your female breton fighter in full plate armor, with a huge tower shield, and you also have the chance to change from fight to civil ropes, with a vaiety of stiles (from the completely reveling, to the modest ones, to the formal ones).

I loved Daggerfall because you could see and interact with npc fully armored, or with formal dresses, just like ones with nothing more than a bikini or a swimtrunk.

Options, that's what is needed, for players to decide how to dress their own characters (I usually play only male characters, with sexuality that cover all the spectrum, I want to be able to play one that uses not revealing clothes, one who instead put the bare minimum just because nudity would be too much, same goes for when I play female characters), Dragon Age, Knights of the old republic, Elders Scrolls (from Morrowind to the online one), The Outer worlds, Fallout, Original Sin I and II, and so on, no choices, like the human body (male or female) is something to be hide like shameful or negative (Indeed in Dragon Age the female characters that have a more revealing dresses are those that clearly are morally ambiguous).


*DnD is a scenography in wich enchanted object exists, some allow feats like talking with animals, talking with the dead, teleport, cast spells you don't know or are not in your class skills, so an armor is not tied to the percentage of body it covers to function because it armor class can be modified by an enchantment.

Borat thongs for men!

Oh gods, isn't this thing dead yet?

No, sometimes it twitches. It could be the maggots though.

Is it a proof that sex sells even among D&D fans?
Fun fact, my forehead still hurts after I've seen Lae'zel armor. That facepalm. It's literally full plate armor cut in a way to make sure her butt sticks out. I think Larian already went with the spirit of " less is more" when it comes to clothing.

I don't get the melodramatic eye-rolling about this thread. This is an interesting topic amid columns and colums of arid dross about 'not 5e' this and 'not DnD' that... OP has good taste in art. But besides that, there are some very interesting musings from others about a topic that's become blandly taboo - there's this sheep mentality that objectifying women is wrong, except that human nature being what it is, that will never change. It's ingrained into us to do this, whether you're a drooling pleb or have an IQ of 200.

I find the comments interesting and enlightening - we're crazy creatures when it comes to sex. I've heard and witnessed all sorts over the years - an almost mind-bending request for a threesome from a certain young lady lately has turned my whole perspective on humanity upside down (I thought it would involve two girls and me, it didn't). What drives a woman to literally crave such a thing as two men? There are no answers - but a story around it would be gripping.

In brief, the OP is well-intentioned. The unbelievably 'normal' romance writing in the game is so tepid that it could benefit from reading a few of the very deep perspectives written on this thread to enrich the narrative. Real romance among humans is fairly mad stuff, it's never properly 'conservative', is it?

I don't think a game needs romance anyway, it's too complex a topic and is never done right. But with the right ambition, a writer could potentially create a cracker of story around it. Just my two cents.

no, we don't.

Maybe reply to comments instead of the title bro, or people might think ya be talking through the fissure in yer rectum.

you had no problem understanding me. that's a pretty low bar.

how about: you don't tell me how to post.

What did I misunderstand about this simple little remark? It's a very small amount of words, isn't it? I've seen a similar amount of teeny tiny little words that paraphrase your little sentence over the course of this thread.

It's trite repetition of the same flaccid 'don't like this post' that's not progressing the topic, negatively or positively - I didn't tell you how to post: but what if I said 'stuff your insecurities up the same fissure I referenced above, my friend'?

Saying so achieves the same result I'm protesting against: antagonism for the sake of antagonism. In other words, if you've nothing to contribute, why comment? This is a good thread. If you think it isn't, at least expand on 'me no like'.

And I'm not telling ya how to f**king post either - it's an invitation to debate. Like adults, right?

Roo3030, reel it in. A lot.

Pretty dresses for big tiddy drow cleric pc pls larian

This please Larian.

Perfect starting set for Astarion, no more disadvantage to stealth

This please:

Gale be like "its a powerful magic artifact you say?"

Enough.

Also ew.

I say some revealing armour is welcome.
I do not see why it would hurt.
Might make it for the light armour sections though, or non-armour section.
I don't really care if it is made for the heavy and medium armour either though.

I say yes, bring the sexy armours.

Most people are just opposed because they are scared it'll take away their... customers... on the sexy webs.

Please god kill this thread. Fire, flood, plague of thread-eating centipedes... anything!!

Okay sorry for the ew. Carry on. I'll resist the urge to look at this thread.

no, thx. I prefer current "semi-realistic" approach. I find warrior ladies sexy w/o nudity.

If I have to live with a metal bralette because "worlds has magic" I demand Borats Mankini because magical protection exists

How do some of you keep falling for the bait?

i just want astarion in a mankini

I've no objection to nude as a style; I'm thinking Ancient Greek or Germanic/Celtic berserker stylie. I also don't mind 'sexy' or revealing clothing (i'd very much like a huge wardrobe of outfits to choose from for my non-armoured PCs). But armour should be armour; it is there to protect and not to show off your suntan.

Okay, the horse is dead. It has been beaten, stabbed, flayed, choked, murdered, raised, nuked, fireballed, slashed, hacked, pierced, smashed, and hung. I am now casting trap the soul on this thread and cursing it for good measure. Just in case you don't have a soul for some reason. So, be forewarn, you touch the thread, you bring upon your doom beyond this point! This is the Way!

Joking aside for the love of everything holy and unholy let this die. Even the Necromancers are like, "Okay, I get it. Raising can be bad for some things." We get it. You are either not horny or horny for skimpy armors. To each their own. The end.

It's like that nasty takeaway that gives you food poisoning every time you eat its food. You know that it is bad, you know that it should be shut down, but it is cheap and right next door to the pub.

Personally, it doesn't bother me as long as it's done with good taste.

This game focuses on immersion. This isn't some MMORPG where peopole just "mess around". Revealing armor/clothing only realy works on something like a succubus. But put it on a fighter and that just makes no sense. Unless you drastically lower the AC (as revealing armor SHOULD be doing in other games) to compensate for that. The character should also be more vulnerable to things like fire and acid. Due to the lack of protection.

Have it as a mod. Everyone wins. Skyrim did something similar actually.

If this game featured 'sexy' versions of women armor, it would be the biggest detractor to having bought this game. Talk about bad taste! How about include female characters that have interesting characters who are driven and skilled and also sexy without having to wear stupid metal bikinis.... oh wait they did that.

if you had took time to read my first post. you would have saw the link. on how those armors works. they give AC 10 like a robe + dex + cha(that's the optional part)

explain to me why would a 25+ dex and/or cha character would were an armor ? except for the Pal. but if you do a Dex pal then no your Pal will end up in a robe

did you know that a mage robe give the same AC as if you are naked ? and that you can cast spells that give AC ? for the resistance you talking about,armors and clothing in dnd 5e does not give any resistance FULL PLATE or naked you take the same damage what ever the source, unless, the armor/clothing is magical or include resistance in the description. like the robe of summer in BG3 , if anything, clothing make you more vulnerable to fire an a bit less to cold , your point is totally irreverent.

immersion yes but immersion in a HIGH DARK FANTASY SETTING with ROMANCE.

let me brake your immersion right now , it impossible to ware an armor like we do in BG3 24/24 7/7 even when you sleep. ..... lol immersion, don't make me laugh, its ALL ABOUT IMMERSION , if I want my fantasy world to be SEXY, I'll make it Sexy , even if the dev don't want me to. but....

all I am asking is that we get the choice in game, from the start, so I don't have to MOD it. am not asking them to make 2000 skinny armors/clothing, or add a nude mode, I just want some sexy and revealing armors and clothing for the players to use , not only for the NPCs and please don't make them only available in ACT 3 only, I want them ... close to the start, like .. let me get one of those sexy druidess armors that we have in game right now.

like why can't we loot the actual armors the monster and npc have on them? why are we looting those identical generic UGLY as F armors and all ? like we actually have to mod the game to ware them. but WHY ? they are in the game already just LOCK from the player touch.

the use of armors is optional in DnD by the way. have you ever played in darksun setting ?

anyway none of us should start with gear in BG 3, cuz we got kidnaped in the city ..... good bye immersion again. for all we know we could have being kidnaped while on the pot. we should all be naked like shrimps in those pods.

there is countless situation where this kind of armors / clothing could make you win a fight. or capture the attention of a Mass of people and make them do / believe what ever.,,

like with Astarion, the first time we meet him, why can't I use some of my charisma and take advantage of this " close encounter" situation but of course trying to seduce some one in the middle of a fight wearing a FULL PLATE MAIL is kinda hard. imo any armor that cover the totality of your body + helmet should totally negate your charisma bonus and you should get -10000 to Cha rolls.

The idea of limiting sexuality in games just seems crazy to me. If you can't turn a world of fantasy and fiction to have some kind of freedom, where can you? What is wrong with playing a sexy looking powerful female warrior?

now the "people" that come here asking for "Smiffy's Men's Borat Mankini " are just trolls. just ignore them. am not asking for swimsuits....... but, sexy and revealing armors and clothing, ya know "cleavage" ? like ,it does not even have to be extravagant like in my OP pic. but, come on! a bit a skin please ?!!!!. there is plenty of choice for both male and female.

if they would took it a bit more seriously(the trolls) am pretty sure they could/would find "adequate" and on the topic pictures. showing BAD ASS MEN in relatively Sexy Armors or robes

but trolls do what they do , they trolls then hide.

there is people that say, oh god no please!, but they are the first to go and RECORD all romance scene with a trans PC and put them on youtube.
or when given the choice in game they jump on the most sexy one.

the first thing they will do when they get back in baldur's gate is go to the bordello


all I am asking is some ... more SEXY armors ffs ......

Hey pssst, your bigotry is showing.

Just because people disagree with you does not make them trolls or worthy of being insulted.

I think we all know by now what you wanted to say when you opened the thread, and I think there is enough feedback on both sides to suggest that not everyone is of the same opinion. Throwing out insults and insulting assumptions is not going to change people's minds on the subject.

This made me laugh. This thread is like that thing in the back of fridge that you should have thrown out some time ago. You know you should just toss it in the trash but something makes you smell it anyway.

L'époisses of forum discussions.

“They're all horny, I can tell you that,” laughs Swen Vincke, founder of Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios. “I think we have one percent [of players] that's not interested [in romances], so we've put a lot of effort into making sure the parts are there. So anybody who tells you the opposite, I can tell you that's not true.”


that made me very happy

Uh, ok.

another fun and meaningful statistic!

I genuinely can't tell if they are playing it up for the press or trolling us at this point.
"Most people tried to do a romance". Yeah, no shit. We are playtesting the game and we are going to check where some of these paths lead.
It doesn't necessarily mean we have to be particularly interested (or satisfied) with where that part of the game led us.

Also, do you know a lot of people patted the dog very often? I'm sure it has nothing to to with being an exploitable and repeatable way to "farm" good reputation with most of your companions.

You just have to admit that you are 1%. Chosen One! May be, in real life, you have too much sex and romantic adventures so you don't need all those sexy drow and elf girls in video games. Don't be shy about talking about your success.
Personally, I'm just happy for you!

But remember that we are ordinary people, do not deprive us of the joy of building relationships with our fictional elves.

Let's not wander in the sordid and confrontational arena of personal comments please.

Especially about real life sex lives. I think we can all do without reading about that.*


*This is not meant as a challenge.

ok, this made me laugh out loud

+1

Are we still talking about pauldrons?

Nope, wrong thread. This is the borat thong one.

Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding me.

*shudder*

i approve of this. larian probably just another ubishaft that cater for snowflakes.

Coomers ruin literally everything.

Go download some hentai game on steam and get it out of your system.

Coomer? Oh something new I learned... not sure that’s applicable to BG3 so far, perhaps this thread, but then was anyone taking this thread seriously?

New one for me too, and I kinda wish I hadn't looked it up.

Anyway, less of that sort of thing, please.

Please no.

I have enough of Slut-fantasy.
Or rather - as long as there is enough normal stuff for characters to wear, I won't complain.

I wonder why all the prudish come on this post and say no ... where is the 98% of normal people

any way take a look at this

temptress

We Demand More Sexy and Revealing Waterdavian Cheese Wheels

We certainly do. That's going right to the top of the list.

Even though I'm not particularly familiar with the cheese. Hopefully it's not like that Italian one with the jumping, erm, "beans".

Lingerbrie.

I think it's a bit overkill to see this in the game, but if Larian adds a meeting with such a character in Blushing Mermaid I won't mind.
It would be appropriate and would not make the game cheap porn
(I want only expensive, deeply spiritual and sublime porn in this game)

Can't believe I'm the first to post this.

First, and hopefully the last.

Can we wind in the urges to post such photos, please.

There are few armor sets sexier than full plate.

Think of it this way. Your ass is going to get cold if you don't have anything to cover it. It's not just about style. It's about functionality. Allow me to break YOUR immersion right now.

A number of people enjoy the attention. Or where that attention can lead too. That's fine. Lae'zel is quite like that. Can see it working with her. In fact, she actually gets into a revealing outfit when you romance her. So technically it's already in the game. Was this factored in?

Some characters are more well guarded. Mistrustful. Shadowheart isn't going to be wearing that kind of armor. It would ATTRACT attention. She keeps to the shadows. She wants to AVOID attention. Was this factored in?

Also, you said it yourself. Romance. But romance and revealing clothing are aren't always mutual. In fact, less so considering people focus on things like candlelit dinners instead. You would have had a stronger argument if you had went "Intimacy" instead of romance.

I Found OP's YouTube Channel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a3GTECz-dQ

Lol

grow up kido. at least I know what I am .... kinky, and I openly assume it. I love SEXY stuff.

And so do I. It's just that everything has it's place. But while I dislike things like chain mail bikinis and cleavage breastplate for the sake of immersion, I do think that clothing such as (but not limited to) low cut robes with a nice fit has their place even in DnD.

I think it's time to call it a day.
