This game is a rare exception, meanwhile most other RPGs have no choice. It's all armor that has no potential to actually protect the user. That was what the point has been within this topic (At least what I've been saying).

Play Lineage 2, and make a female anything, and by the time you get to B Grade armor, you're wearing almost nothing. This is especially true if you're a Dark Elf.

So many games fall under the same problem. It's a choice here, but in most games, it's not. If you make a female character, be ready to use equipment that has no practical usage.
