The man might be a fighter, the woman a rogue or mage. In that case, I don't see a reason why their armours should be equal. In many fantasy RPGs, some character classes tend to avoid close combat and don't need to be as heavily armoured as the melee fighters.

There would be an issue if this was Larian's idea of equal protection for the two characters, but I guess it isn't.

If the male protagonist was a mage and the female one a fighter, they'd probably not be equally protected either. Agreed, a male mage would presumably not wear belly-free clothes (though with Larian, one never knows), but that just mirrors real life.

If what the woman is wearing is supposed to be a metal bikini top, it is ridiculous, yes ... it could just be ornamented, though. And I think the giant shoulder pieces that needlessly encumber the characters as well as the man's shoulder belt look even more ridiculous. I guess that's just for making the characters more easily recognizable, however, and will look very different in the game when you can put on various armours and (hopefully) clothes.
