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

Any armour save the Dragon Slayer type covered the legs. Any armour save the Rogue type covered the upper torso.

Also, take a look at the armour the Romans & Greeks wore in their time. Did it cover the legs and arms?

No, and they also died quite often. Their ENTIRE civilization was either making Warriors, or being a Warrior.

Ah, ok.
To be frank I used a woman only in FoV because I couldn't import ED saves on DKS so I wanted to try the other sex.
Though, I bought more or less every armor and weapon, and the best ones available on the market (white and black) didn't cover the legs.

I agree with those that it's all a preference. Don't like it, don't use it. Why complain about it when it's a choice? There are people that don't mind it as well as those that do. Why should one get it over the other? It's called choice.

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.

If you really need this to be realistic then You would be permanently killed by the first enemy that hits you. Not many would survive a fireball let alone just an arrow.

Real physics is thrown out the window with a game and I don't think really should be compared unless you want to play a simulator.

Now you're going into the stupidity section. Please leave it.

There is a 100% difference between visual reality and physics reality, and please understand the difference between them before you post next time.

Evidently your humour detector isn't working very well today.

Don't worry I'll forgive you.

And regarding the above, if you're going to argue the practicality over nothing more than a visual reference then it's a pretty baseless argument to start with. I mean what's the point in saying it doesn't look realistic when you dismiss an opinion made by someone else which was based on realism?

At the end of the day it's all about appeal. All about cosmetic look. Some people like one type of look, others prefer something different.

Unless it actually does affect gameplay, which it doesn't, does it really matter to you or anyone else that much?

Enjoy the pretty pixels, and if you can't then just be manly.

Calm down, there is no need to get into silly name calling. It's an opinion, and yes it's subective. Nothing more nothing less. You dont agree and you have your own opinion on the matter, and thats fine. This whole thing isn't even a big deal. I'm not sure when you became the police telling people when they can and can't post though.

I guess I'll keep in mind and ask you permission next time I post and see if it's ok. Wait.. I just did. Sorry.

It is fun to heat that from a guy with such avatar and picture in sig :P

You guys need to get yourself a real female in your house/appartment. You won't need to play them on your screen...

Don't mess with my Lilith. She's hawt! :p

Armor textures are designed to look cool for the most part, not be practical. Armor should be designed to deflect blows ... all the spikes and flanges you see in typical RPG armors would actually catch a blade and focus it. Enormous shoulder pieces would limit mobility of your sword arm, and give your enemy a point of leverage to spin you off target and take you down, to say nothing of what it would do to your peripheral vision. No one in their right mind would make a real armor as fancy as fantasy RPG armors. To say nothing of the fact that every eye on the battlefield would immediately be drawn to the battle-dork with the flashiest armor.

That said, it looks cool, and that is what people expect.

That's the whole point, lol.

Remove your female character's cloths and there are. Isn't Sussan wearing a revealing outfit as well? In my opinion, games shouldn't be sexed up, females shouldn't armour that is revealing, same goes for males.



Owned.

Once again, these are only YOUR OPINIONS

What is that makes you think that everybody else should abide by what YOU say and that every game should be made to suit only YOU ?


I think its high time some folks learned to have a little tolerance and repeat this line after me:

"I dont personnaly like it but somebody else might and who am I to spoil things for somebody else".

Also the Noble Armour Light Regular & Heavy all covered the legs

the new DKS armour sets

the riverlon guard set covers the legs the Dragon Wizards armour covers the legs (mind u the Dragon Wizard is just a vry cool version of the regular Noble Armour set which is my favourate )

& anyway practical or not most men like to see flesh on the women in there games it's human nature to look. 90% of the time when men look there either looking at your boobs a** or legs, this game has armour sets to suite all. Some cover everything some cover everything but the legs & some turn your woman into a warrior whore. Either way it does'nt matter, ware what your comfortable in, being a woman myslf I was happy that I had the option to cover up my charactor. the option of look all you want or cover up all you want is an awsome aspect. Mot RPG's/Action Adventures don't give you the option it's normally LOOK IT'S FEAMALE WOOOO LOOOK BOOOOOBBBS. 90% of the time in these games the women are running around with next to nothing on to cover their dignaty, u should all be happy you have the option of kick a** warrior woman or kick a** warrior whore.

It's actually been pretty refreshing to see how my female character has been, for the most part, completely covered with nice looking armor throughout most of the game. Apart from a couple of short leggings and some ranger type armor with short sleeves I haven't seen anything overly sexed up at all. This is a huge difference when compared to some other games in which "full plate" armor is basically a g-string/loincloth with a belt, a bra, and some spiky shoulder pads.

I DID say it was my opinion. Just like in my opinion, man should look at real women and vice versa.
I just don't think woman should be looked at like that in any form, they are humans, not pieces of meat. Is that all men think about nowadays?

Going with that topic I would say no.
