So this topic has already been extensively discussed and thought over by the community and Larian team and what they decided on is apparent from the outcome of the games aethetics.



Heh, I realize you'd like to shut discussion on this topic down for whatever reason, but I'll leave it to Larian to decide for themselves what they are or aren't willing to consider.

Secondly, the notion of "Stylized vs Realistic" armor is neither here nor there. Stylized does not mean "naked women". It would mean that they wear artistically stylized armor on their bodies granting as much coverage as their male counterparts.

Finally, I'm not saying this needs to happen this time around, but I remember the designs of the armor being adjusted late in the development for D:OS 1, of which I was also an early access supporter, due to similar concerns. So once again, I'd just go ahead and leave it to Larian to make their own decisions.


Nah i'm just throwing my marshmallows onto the fire not trying to shut anything down even though this debate has been beaten to death for quite some time now.

Yeah sorry stylized might have been a bit broad of a term, by that i mean the not so competent, flashy and sometimes skin bearing armour of classic fantasy, by extension the armour type OP was discussing. And it is never 'naked women'. Showing skin does not mean naked by any stretch of the imagination.

I think it is the best recourse to let Larian design and make their own decisions, that was what i intended my original post to say, but it must have been lost somewhere in translation.
