If it's a mage, why is it wielding a bow? Would it not make sense to use a staff instead?Gildan Bladeborn said:
i really hated the mage hats, god those are awful.
and as far as gear design goes, i always loved WoW, i stopped playing the day ulduar got released so i dont know about that, but untill then all the gear i got was good looking, there may have been the odd pair of pants from time to time, but overall every time i upgraded i looked cooler. (i played as a male, i understand that female avatars get nakeder after each upgrade)

I hate all the helmets I've seen but 1, and that's a Dwarven heavy armor one I found towards the end of my Dwarven Noble Origin Story. Maybe the blood dragon helmet will look ok though.
A good thing about this game is it gives you bonuses for being fashionable, because when you get boots, gauntlets, and chest pieces of the same kind you get a bonus to stats or some other kind of perk.

Instead of putting on the best gear, I always put on what looks the best. It makes you look awesome and ramps up the challenge, two things that are A-OK in my books.
Fun trivia:Jark212 said:
"Shamus" is just the "Americanized" version of Seamus, just like "Shawn" vs. "Sean".
It's also actually my real actual name in real life, actually.
Hehehe. Reminds me of Fallout 3.
Trying to make my character look like something from Apocalypse Now, proved to be very satisfying.

This was a serious problem in Oblivion as well. There were a few times I found enchanted armor but refused to wear it because it looked like a) the front end of an Edsel converted into armor, or b) steel plate nipple covers and a leather strap. Of course, Fallout 3 then went too far in the other direction and only let us wear one outfit, glasses and a hat. And they STILL screwed up the body a couple times.
As for World of Warcraft... well. I still remember the time I ended up wearing what I termed the "Reverse Slutpants of the Mag'har".

Is it terrible that my brain read all of Alistair's lines in his voice? It is, isn't it? I can't help that I loved his romance story so much. Stop judging me!!
Part of the challenge of the game is either finding matching sets of armor or trying to take the more dramatic scenes seriously in the most mismatched gear possible. Even a matching set on the wrong person can have hilarious consequences. (Morrigan wearing the Warden Commander armor yet complaining about the estate staff asking her for a change of clothing, for example.
Two minor gripes there, though.)
1. Why's Leliana got to be some kind of stripper? She's wearing more in that get up than your average non-JRPG pretty boy sword slinger (or Blades of Chaos swinger)or big buff brawler (any genre). Still, such outfits do bring attention to the utter indestructability of clothing items in most games, even swords and sorcery games. They don't even permanently stain, no matter how many gallons of blood spill on them, no matter how pristine white the garment started out.
2. Winged helmets aren't awesome? That's the only reason for a helmet to have wings, my good sir! If it's good enough for Captain America, it's more than good enough for the Grey Wardens!

A lot of the helmets in Dragon Age do suck. I swear I spent ages looking for one of those awesome helmets that the kings guards wear only to find out I didn't have high enough strength to wear it.
winged helmets are NOT awesome? you good sir have made a bad error since winged helmets are awesome
Oh my I remember how my guy looked in Oblivion. I always got away with wearing whatever in Morrowind because I could just put a robe over it and then all you could see was my pouldrens which looked pretty kick ass, especially with the spikes and the.
However Morrowind on the other hand I was wearing that skullbone helmet, the hide of whatever god that likes to hunt, I think fur pants that reflected spells, and two huge boots made out of something I dont quite remember. I always enjoyed looking at my statue in Bruma after I saved it.
