Anyone else notice many of the female characters you meet in Farglow (Rhode, Isobel, and Morgana) don't wear any pants! I just find this odd because all three of them are wearing what look like platemail chest pieces and boots, but no pants.
I am not saying that is good or bad, just strange. I mean to me it would seem to defeat the purpose, protect your torso with steel, but one good cut could slash your femeral artery.

Maybe the game starts on laundry day, and they were out of clean leggings?

Given the armour design for female characters in some games, I barely noticed the lack of leggings. Concept art for the female character in Original Sin shows armour which is much less functional (see here, for example), though fortunately in the game you will not be restricted to that design. Actually, I don't know if that design is even in the game; it works 'better' in a fair sized concept art than it would when the character is an inch high.

I just took that type of armour to be a sort of Romanesque design, a bit like the Imperial armour in Skyrim, for example.

I didn't think of that, but now that you mention it, IIRC some of the names and architecture in the game were inspired by Roman history.

Another RPG I really like, Torchlight the female character in that game is the vanquisher and many of her armors don't seem like they offer much protection (solely based on appearance mind you, they still provide the same armor value as they would her male conterparts) or leave areas eunprotected.

Now that I think of it, Ellen from Kingdom Under Fire also had armor that left her legs and lower torso unprotected.

I liked the laundry day comment. that was good for a laugh

I think it would have been funny if bringing this up would have been an option in dialogues with them.
