Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback We Demand More Sexy and Revealing armors and clothing

Sexy Armor (5e Equipment)https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Sexy_Armor_(5e_Equipment)
This game needs more sexy and revealing, seductive and alluring, provocative and skimpy armors and clothing!



I'm making this thread because this game needs more skimpy and very revealing armors and clothing!. In all honesty, we need more of it because there is demand for it.
Lets take a look at one of the most popular Superheroine. Wonder Woman.The movie soar in Box Office because she is a beautiful and sexy female warrior wearing skimpy clothing.
The idea of limiting sexuality in games just seems crazy to me. If you can't turn a world of fantasy and fiction to have some kind of freedom, where can you? What is wrong with playing a sexy looking powerful female warrior? It can be pretty fun to assume such roleplay.
Women in very revealing armor are very yummy and breathtakingly beautiful. Sex appeal sells. We demand more revealing outfits.



EDIT : please refrain from arguing, only say if you would like to see a bit more sexy and revealing or a lot more revealing. (picture helps)

Even though this is high fantasy, I myself, very much approve if they try to keep the armors somewhat realistic. I don't want yet another game treating women as sex objects. I mean come on. In the two examples you choose....why are they even wearing "armor" as it won't protect them from anything. Not even from chilly winds and even less from men staring at them.

That'll be the "sexy" meaning "much less of" thing, then; I dunno, the Boris Vallejo look never really did it for me. I want more shoes, including the heels that were previously so controversial.

No thanks, Leave that for the modders

let me guess you 2 playing bg3 for the full nudity sex available in it...
what wrong with having some Raveling and seductive clothing ?

Speak for yourself please.

Dungeons & Dragons has literally never been about "skimpy armor".
If anyone ever came to me as their DM and said "My Paladin of 22 AC wears a platekini.", I'd kick them out of my group.

Unless magical armor changes its appearance to whatever the wearer imagines "Full Plate" would never be "skimpy". It's in the name.

This game isn't about sex appeal. Nor is it about "yummy skimpy warriors". Unless you're a Barbarian (And even then, it's pretty bad), seeing people in plate-kinis rips the player right out of immersion.

Pretty sure there are other games you can play for that, or make your mods, but Larian would never add that in the base game.

so WRONG !
this is a game rated M with full nudity and full sex scene what is wrong with having some sexy armors ??

Vometia, do you mean like the stilettos seraphims wear in Sacred series? Yeah, sorry but please no. That if anything, bugged me enormously. Any woman knows how hard it is to run in those not mentioning running in grassy hills and rocky mountains

Now, as a man standing for equality, I would never dream of telling a woman what she can and can't wear. (well, in this thread that's practically what I'm doing, sorry for that)

I just thought this bit was worth highlighting in case, I dunno, because.

Not that I particularly want to see daft bikini armour, but it's that sort of "challenge accepted" thing.

Right. we'll have female heroes wearing basically a bikini, and male heroes looking absolutely epic in full plate armour with no patch of skin to be seen.

I was thinking more in terms of the heels in D:OS. But yeah, Sacred II works as well; I modded it to make them even more impractical (I mean more strappy, not more, well, high and spiky).

It's nothing that I don't do IRL, speaking as someone who still has knee problems three years after wearing high-heeled boots when there was black ice (tbf, it was early May) and numb toes because I don't see why I can't wear strappy sandals in the middle of winter. Or heatstroke because I decided to wear my fancy new Barbour jacket in the height of summer.

why do you guys only think about ARMORS like they are FULL PLATE?

you know you can play a DEX WARRIOR right ?



or a BARBARIAN MALE with NAKED CHEST ?




WTF is wrong with you guy

so I can't play my DEX female barb wearing almost nothing ???? and still lhaving max AC in the game ????

you guys are very close minded

Because a "plate-kini" doesn't function as armor.

How can one have 22 AC and 10 Dex while wearing "Full Plate" that covers nothing but your boobs and a thong?



I sincerely hope they don't go ahead and do that. Leave it for the modders.

it does not count as an armors but clothing .....

give 10 ac +dex + cha........dude.............lol you are so closeminded I guess you dont want SEX to be in the game either ?

wizard fight in clothing.... or even naked......where is the problem of having a SEXY ROBE?????

The githyanki armor has the right amount of sexy and functionality imo

We need more of those.

The term 'fashion victim' has never been so applicable.

Just undress your characters and have them run around in their underwear if you want to see skin so bad.

WHAT?! How did you manage to come to that conclusion from what I wrote?!

I don't care whether the game has any sex scenes as those don't really do anything for the narrative or the playability.
I also don't mind characters wearing whatever they want, IF, it makes sense in context. Meeting a prostitute on the street or a slave in a haram would explain the skimpy outfit. Some sexy lingerie in a seduction scene or subtle and clever hints in dialogue "to get it on" is cool too. But seeing an adventurer running around slaying goblins in stilettos and plate-tini. No. Not working for me.

No 'sexy armour' for my game, please.* Leave the pin-up armour for modders to create.

I'm alright with sexy clothing and fur loincloths, even fully naked should that be how you view your character, but mail or plate bikinis masquerading as protection make me wince.



* As in, the game I want to play. Not that I own BG3.

I honestly almost cried when I first saw that all armour looks just as functional on females as on males. Don't you dare take that away from me.

COME ON don't tell me you don't find it nice ? and you know what its made by a DND FAN

FEMALE WARLOCK 30CHA

Fair point. Like I said. Would never dream of it.

hahahaha

from heterosexual guy, i don't think i could fight them

hahahahaha

Female Druid

I really wonder why the majority of RPGs players are men..... a mystery, truly

This is FANTASY. And this a GAME.

I totally second sexy clothing and armor, as an OPTION among a range of different options, and for everyone and not just the female characters.

speechless..

Is this thread an excuse to post pictures of half-naked women?

I might point out that neither the druid nor the warlock pictures show armour. The warlock may be intended to be wearing leather, but there is no real indication of it on that drawing.

EDIT: The sorcerer/wizard above isn't wearing armour either.

Please stop trawling the internet for more pictures - you will get hairy palms and stunted growth.

Now that one, I can agree with. As a user of the ART, she knows she won't wear armor. She knows she is good looking and can use that to her advantage, especially when dealing with people that would find her sexually attractive. The heels are still impractical, but I guess a magic user never really finds the need to run anyway. They can just teleport, or levitate. Or force a humanoid to carry them etc.

I approve this message

EVIL Paladin

There's a difference between sexy armors/robes and bikinis with AC bonuses.
I would for example love to dress up a rogue in more of a catsuit type of armor, but it also has to be lore friendly.

Also at this point this topic just seems to be an excuse for OP to post unsourced art of "hot babes" or whatever.

Oh no please... Why the hell do you want "sexy" armor in such a game...
Are you really fantasising about video games characters...?

The latter examples certainly look much better than the first two.

It needs to make sense for a character to have particularly revealing clothing, and the properties should match how they look. Minimal coverage armor would not be very defensive, thus it would not make sense to use it for defensive purposes. Seductive purposes though? Yeah, if that's what the character wants.

It should also not be very common. After all, this is dungeons and dragons fantasy game, not a sexual fantasy game.

well the fact that the game is rate M and also Black desert online influence :P
you do know modeler will do it anyway right ? I meant they do it for every single game(nude mod). so I still don't get it why the DEVS don't get the message. if I want to go around NAKED let me do it.

let me fight the guard that try to arrest me too.

but this this is not what I am asking, this is a Fantasy game for adult I see nothing wrong in having some sexy and revealing clothing and armors in the game from scratch. (not made by a bod)

Most D&D players are still male (although the gap is closing rapidly), and a large proportion (40% at last survey) are under 25.

I will say no more.

Abdirak has skimpy "armor".

Imagine that one being equippable by female PC....
I am sure modders will accomodate you if Larian won't

if any modders see this, make a part of my dream come true :P

This. Good point.

Then, I'm the kind of man that finds subtleness more sexy than the full monty. I love how Yennefer is portrayed in Witcher(even though she is often wearing heels). And I prefer the older iterations of Cat Woman over the modern ones. Having the full body slim cat suit still shows that she is a woman with a rather ample bossom. Unnecessary to also show a lot of cleavage.

They add 'no filter' cinematics, I'm sure they have some revealing outfits planned for us

This is a good example of how skimpy can fit in this setting. He is purposely revealing his skin so he can better cause pain to himself. This "armor" serves its purpose, which is not to protect the user

I am not gonna lie; first time I saw him I didn't think twice about killing him, just to see if I could have looted it and placed it on my PC.
Needless to say I was left disappointed.

Just want to point out that there are spells and magic items that allow you to have an AC bonus and still allows you to wear whatever you want. That said, the Chosen (if they are still alive in 5E I am not sure, I only know Blackstaff is dead for sure), that the Seven Sisters were not known for wearing very conservative clothing. However, they probably had Bracers (or Bracelets) of Armor and had pretty high dexterity. So revealing armors are kind of apart of the game for men and women. Barbarians usually get away with it due to Damage reduction and usually having higher than average dexterity than some fighters, but as it is noted you can have fighters with higher dex scores than 10. That said this is a Fantasy setting where anything is possible. You are playing a character that is or could change into a Mind Flayer at any moment. How hard is it to believe there are heroes that dress like this? I just find it absurd that people just say, "Whoa!" at aesthetics for armor in a game that has the ability to swap your gender and race or into a tree if you want. As far as Full-Plate granted a 22 AC, if it was Magical I would allow it. Even if it was a Full-Plate bikini. It is MAGICAL. As in capable of doing the IMPOSSIBLE. If you don't like magic breaking your reality immersion, then you really aren't into fantasy. No one is saying you have to equip your female characters to look like skimpy clothed vixens and no one should expect others to always want their characters to conform to how they BELIEVE they should look. As far as allowing things at your gaming tabletops, that is YOUR gaming group, and while it is totally justifiable to expect things there you should not expect everyone to adhere to your thinking. I don't expect anyone to think everything I say or do is correct nor do I think I am always correct, but I refuse to let creativity to be stifled.

I have a better solution for all of you though, but why can't we just simply have armors that are made for those that want to have the skimpy look and those that don't. The developers could have a few actual sets that are revealing, but hey as everyone says if you don't like that there is always modding! Seriously, don't stifle peoples creativity just because you personally find it distasteful. I don't expect people to get art, but I'm tired of people shaming others for simply expressing themselves. And my mini-rant has ended! *Flips Night Watch cloak around dramatic style and goes back to guard the realms of men.*

That can simply be explained by the changes to modern society and overall change to acceptance of stereotypes and how we look upon genders. What kind of signals do a company want to send to their customers. That they are in touch with the modern world and views regarding stereotypes. Or that they still see humanoid characters, mostly females, as sex objects.

That there exists modders and players that still feel the need to confirm old portraying's of gender roles/stereotypes/equality in games is nothing a company really should adhere to.

To try and make the discussion more "serious" I think it would be a good thing if the PC and all of the companions had a quick swap between armor and "casual clothing" which is used at camp at minimum. Possibly even when in Baldur's Gate.

I mean, I know it's not traditionally how D&D has been understood to work. But traditionally speaking, armors are only donned prior to battle. You certainly wouldn't walk around town in full plate. It would make encounters more interesting if you could be ambushed while waiting in a tavern in casual attire.

Take care of this, and what more do you need? Outside of cutscenes the characters are generally zoomed too far out to ogle anyway. And the number of talking sexy warrior NPCs you meet is...uhh...I can't think of any.

Just to play a bit of devil's advocate on this thread,

me and my wife both play video games together and she always mods her games to wear more skimpy armor.

Some women actually really like that stuff, at least ones I've known.

Some of the pictures OP is posting belong to one of those Asian MMOs where everyone is half naked and carries giant weapons.

But I wouldn't mind skimpy "armor".
Maybe some light armor with the belly exposed.
Or a fancy robe for clothies... they dont that much armor.

It just has to be done in good taste. Functional but "sexy".
Let players decide how they want to do this.

And make sure an armor that covers everything for men but makes female characters half naked doesnt happen.

Maybe someone wants to see skimpy Astarion. Well let them.

yes because this is not real life its a game and a fantasy game on top of it. we all want More Sexy Armors and clothing in our games. if you want the real thing you can go play medieval game that are "realistic"


DnD is what you want it to be it had seduction skill/roll/ check and feat in its previous edition/ video game too

You keep saying we.
Who else?

Honestly the armor examples you showed were very cringy and were so outside the art style and theme of this game.
Why would my character... any character walk around with their ass hanging out?

Your armor ideas belong to modded skyrim and asian softcore porn MMOs.

I want my armor to look first and foremost like armor.

I do not think that sexuality = armored bra, but the fact that we need more beautiful clothes for both guys and girls is definitely. I don't like wearing a standard robe; I want to be a cool sorcerer.
If Larian adds more sexy clothes for girls, but not an armored bra - normal, stylish, sexy clothes of course it will be very cool and I fully support this idea.
For the rest there is a caste scene. + If the players have their own house or castle, it will be possible to buy various non-armored suits, including sexy ones. It is very cool.

Knock it off. Even though I'm not a fan of bikini armour, that's uncalled for.

Not a D&D thing?
I mean did any of you see the artwork for 2nd edition AD&D?

In all seriousness, it makes sense from a mage perspective where Magic sees you through, less so for proper armpit, apart from magical armpit because again, magic.

Do I need it? No. If done with humour or in moderation, sure, why not. Certainly wouldn’t want it as main design philosophy and I’m pretty sure we are safe from that.

I think that's totally a waste of ressources and I think it's totally inconsistent as an armor in such a dangerous world.
But I know many players like to see (half) nude women in video games. Just find it very strange...

thx, I could not have said it better

what is wrong with having a magic pair of panty granting +20 AC but only if you ware only that

For example.

This is what I would call a functional but somewhat skimpy armor for a female warrior.

nice !

Even though Forgotten Realms is a fantasy setting, generally speaking in my fiction I want to have internally consistent worlds which make logical sense - even if they don't actually follow the laws of physics as we know them.

Otherwise, the whole "breaking immersion" thing happens.

and that is perfectly fine if its what you want, but you can't play female thoo since there was not a single full plate made for female in history
this is a GAME on a FANTASY setting rated M, but its fine you have your opinion. so do we

how would you fit those horns in there ?

Well people are already moding some

You are going to source that?
I know for a fact you are wrong... but I want to see you source it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...any_historical_examples_of_female_armor/

was for Queens....and princess, never to be use for battle

the only historical woman to have fight ing battle is jane of arc, you can bet she was 'manly" ala Brienne of Tarth

care to give me a link ?

I'm all in for complete nudity when taking a shower or something, but not in fights, unless it's about a magically shielded creature like an Angel or similar.

There can be sexy and still functional armors; these are actually top tier stuff, because would cost most to make a protective gear that also looks great. Not chain bikini level though, those aren't armor and not even sexy. A tight leather or similar would be far sexier, if the body under it is sexy. Less is more.

The BG3 leather armor already looks better than what most other "western games" have, but I like the realistic style of the weapons most.

Certainly there is place for improvement, to make armor both sexy and functional. Variety is good, instead just basic ugly stuff. The boring old style can still be there for the puritan souls and the poor who can't afford more, next to hot and sexy masterpiece armor pieces.

well said, but I do like the red sonja style

Of course you can play as a female, as plate armor for females looks exactly the same (sans the "equipment" added to some armors")
For horns you need a different helmet with two holes.

Sorry, but I neither need nor want sexy armors in my games. There is no "we" ...

You changed your point.
You said not a single plate was made for women but King of France famously made one for Jean of Arc.

Plate was Plate. There is just so much clothing and other armor that is put in before the plate even goes on that whatever bosom the lady has is completely covered.

Also plate isn't a yoga outfit, it has a lot of space in the torso area.
Men and women can wear the same suit of armor and both have no difficulty to function.

Edit: also the link you provided also confirms what I said.
Literally the first answer says men and women practically wore the same armor with little to no differentiation.

I people want chainmail bikini armor and wicked weasel jockstraps I have no objections as long as they can easily be avoided.
(the AC boost comes from the distraction!) Alternative models would be the best way to go.

But for the love of Bhaal


1. Don't make them mandatory by making the best armor in the game a something that makes the PC look ridiculous

2. Please, please don't include DOS2 endgame headdresses. Looking like a Brazilian Carnival at the end DOS2 was fun in a game that didn't take itself seriously but if *spoiler character* runs around in bikini and ersatz fruitbowl on her head this will break my immersion.

So far BG3 has gotten the tone right and they should keep to that. Serious with some comic relief. More Star Wars than Guardians of the Galaxy. Keep to that tone.

People use "we all" all the time in this forum, I read it a lot of times in the endless posts about 6 man party. But as the survey showed many design choices are divisive. Don't mind it that much.

Regarding the topic, even if you don't like it sexy clothing, many people do (I don't for armor at least), just look at sites like nexus how many downloads mods like that are popular.

For the OP, the mod I posted is Devilish Pack from nexusmods.

They should let us choose how our armor looks.
Plenty of games have it now.

Like AC series, i can have a full plate armor on me but in the menu I can choose to appear in cloth armor or underclothes if I wanted lol!

still am I right they were not made for Woman, but for soldier.
but here we are in a game in a fantasy setting its not the real world and DnD have magic in it the possibilities are infinite. hell you can even have a magic gem that grant +10 ac when you insert it where the sun don't shine. so there is no reason to have "classic" armor looking in a game like this. "we" want options, I don't mind it thoo, hey if you want to "adventure" in full plate mail all day long.

No you are not right.
You want your sexy clothing. You should be honest with that.

Don't drag ahistory facts and misinformation here to push your agenda.
That is unacceptable to me.

If you want to turn this thread into something constructive about sexy armors then by all means go ahead.
I want sexy armors too but I want them practical... and when you start telling me women didn't wear armor or theirs was inherently so different because we could not figure out where the boobs went (even though we did) that bothers me a lot.

There is such a thing as internal integrity and style and atmosphere of a setting.

If things are introduced and added to it that dont fit that specific style, the whole setting loses its uniqueness. Whats worse, once the first such inappropriate item or feature is accepted then more demands will follow, until a unique setting looks like a absurd freak carnival.

What you want, and its definitely not "we" in any sense - is something that should be a matter for modding community. So then every player can decide to introduce such features - for his private purposes.

Not so sure it is the boar we are looking at here



/edit

No the game doesn't need but could certainly do with more armor. I am more interested going the other route though, playing a shield dwarf wizard in medium and maybe heavy armor later.

Haha, are you joking? It's 2020 nobody wants to make sexy looking games anymore, even if a sexy cover art would certainly boost the sales. Bland and unappealing is the current norm.

This game is pretty damn sexy to me.

That is simply not true. throughout history there have been several famous female warriors, including Joan d'Arc, Quenn Boudicca, Triêu Thi Trinh etc
True, not all of them wore full plate armor but most probably they wore the armor typical for that nation and time. Also, having boobs don't stop you from wearing a plate armor. Extremely uncomfortable for sure, but not impossible since, as you might know, breasts are squishy and can be flattened/moved around a bit.

Yes, I couldn’t have said it better myself. I don’t mind if others like this kind of thing (variety is good!). But I really don’t want to equip stuff like this on my characters so please don’t make the best armour exclusively skimpy stuff.

More armour appearance variety in general would be nice, especially with starting gear. I’m currently playing as a cleric and as soon as I recruited Shadowheart I swapped armour with her then immediately sent her to be a benchwarmer in the generic chain set my character was given to start. I’m sure she disapproved.

alright we learn things everyday :P

Already seen it.
Look at the first video, around time stamp 9:40.

Men and Women can wear the same exact piece of armor and function.
You don't need to specifically design something just for women.

hardly understand why this subject has raised so much discussion, no we don't demand that, we really just want a good game, look for that stuff in other kind of material

yes , even tho the armor were made for men , a women could potentially fit it there, but only a handful of woman fought in battle,

but no such thing as a armor for woman was made , armor were made for soldier, male or woman, but if you were to ask a blacksmith in the 14th century to craft 1000 armor exclusively for woman and as protective, he would have surely made some adjustment, base on a women body. but it never happen.

The idea of limiting sexuality in games just seems crazy to me. If you can't turn a world of fantasy and fiction to have some kind of freedom, where can you? What is wrong with playing a sexy looking powerful female warrior?
With a magical sexy chain mail + 3 that protect her body better then a NORMAL chain mail cuz its magical ?
if dnd was a realistic table top game, it would not be where it is right now.
people dont want real... they want fantasy.
if you want real, dnd if not for you.

Not potentially.

They could. That's a proven fact.

I do find it funny though that people say "It's an adult game, we want women in plate bikinis."

I don't associate gratuitous T&A with being an adult. I associate it with being a teenager. Not just because of the thirst, but also because there's a general idea among teens that somehow adding nudity and ultraviolence makes things somehow "grown up."

I tend to think that an "adult game" would have frank nudity, but also wouldn't treat female characters as eye candy, instead recognizing them as (fictional) independent beings with their own feelings and agency.

Harnois wears 34A bra size and weighs 127 pounds

it take a very special kind of woman
one that trained to be a SOLDIER all her life.

As I've already said in dataminning thread (and been accused of puritanism which is certainly not a tag I identify with) I'm all in for sexy (I think Lae'Zal's armor is a good example) while keeping it at least somewhat classy or (since I've learned this expression means very different things to different people) somewhat covered.

Again I'd reference Witcher 3 (especially Yen - I love in-game Yen) as a good example of that or even WOW tier sets (also AC Odyssey wasn't bad in this regard).

Sure it would be best if we could have both to keep everyone happy, however that wouldn't be so easy to implement and I think the development team's energy and time would be better spent in many other places. Also that's probably not the art direction they're going for.There are already at least 2 naked mods on Nexus so I'm pretty sure people like OP will find attire more appropriate to their tastes there, than what Larian could ever provide them with.

Also those first two images OP graced us with?! As a real life female archer please let me tell you - a nipple getting in a way of bowstring is an EXTREMELY bad idea (cannot overstate this).


So no "WE" are certainly not asking for anything akin to what OP is suggesting, However decollete, leather corsets, overknee boots, some sidecuts etc - yes please

this is not real life, this is dnd and your nipple are protected by magic.

let's not get on the real amazon of earth subject and see if they were wearing any sexy outfit to attract men?

Evit_it_self. I think the reason to our objections is that we are quite tired of seeing sexiness mixed into every single fantasy game made. You said it yourself, in those games where it's not implemented enough to some players degree, modders will do it.

I can only speak for myself and my opinions but I feel we're soon in to 2021. Isn't it time to let go of the "Sex sells" approach? I can't understand why it's so important still for some players that sex and oversexualization is present in every rpg they play. I mean, the majority of BG1 and BG2 fans should be around 30+ now

That's why somethings, like nudity or armor showing skin, is left to modders and not taking resources away from the development. In my opinion

so why did the dev add all the SEX in the game ?

am wondering.

let me tell you SEX sell.

FFS am only asking for some Cleavage......... in a rated M game.

One thing to ask is why a woman would choose to wear a sexy outfit into battle. I mean, not every woman IRL wears revealing clothing, and even those that do do not wear revealing clothing all the time. So if this were done, I'd like it to be built into the characters somehow.

So for example, maybe it's a female warrior who likes using the distraction/arousal of male combatants to her advantage in combat? Maybe they're a rogue who uses their body as a means of persuasion to hang guys out high and dry? Maybe they're an icy mage who dresses scantily because they like the attention - but also love to crush the ego of men who dare to make a pass at her?

What I wouldn't want to see is a character who seemed more or less totally oblivious to her own state of dress.

It's not in every game though. The Outer Worlds had zero romance content. There was none in Pillars of Eternity either.

stop talking about real life !!!!!!!!!!! get on the subject, this is a a high fantasy GAME RATED M for MATURE. wtih full sex scene , go play maplestory 2 if you want a sex free game

99% of all male gamer play female char.

speak for yourself. YOU want a porn game with boob jiggle physics, not we.
i definitely want better clothing than the shitty robes they got right now but banish that armour bikini into the 70s.

You're right it's not real life but it still looks utterly ridiculous (what are you like 16?).

Look YOU can run around naked IRL or in-game (protected by magic ring of ROFL ofc) for all I care, just don't drag US into YOUR "demands".

Also now I'm really not sure whether or not you're just trolling.

there is porn in the game dude...........
gay , lesbian, monster half demonic sex , name it , its already in the game !!!

and we can't have a sexy robe with some CLEAGE for my mage wtf ????

come back on earth.
