Larian Studios Forums Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga / Flames of Vengeance (English) Divinity II - The Dragon Knight Saga DKS doesn't suffer from "Metal Bikini" Syndrome

Get rid of "nowadays". Now it's correct.

Touché.

Well I don't think of women like that. It's called lust - something I avoid.

Lust isn't bad. Some men lust after women, some women lust after men, and some men and women lust after other men and women. It's just human nature. There's nothing inherently misogynist or even misandrist about it. As long as it's accompanied by a good dose of responsibility it's perfectly normal and healthy.

I'll have to check it out...

I'm a female, and I prefer the sexy look -- because my assumption has always been that even though it looks skimpy, it's magically enhanced to be just as durable as the equivalent coverage model. But I think most female characters would like the skimpy model (assuming their character looks halfway decent), IF the AC is magically enhanced to be same as non-skimpy -- cause .. well, if it was a 'real-life' situation, presuming you were fighting against a man (and even many women), they'd be more than a little distracted by what they saw...

This provides a distinct and often fatal advantage.

Really! (It's true in real life too ('cept for the fatal part!)), but go up against a guy in a chess game...wearing a bikini and such...disturbs their concentration all to hell.

Well we could argue what human nature is but I'm still glad that Divinity II has decent armour that looks good.

I like the armor sets in this game. I've not played a female character to notice the female sets, but either way I'm sure I would be fine with it. I am typically too engrossed in the game to be leering at characters other than to notice the visual quality of the textures lol. I guess it's all about personal preferences. *shrug*
