This isn't a Medieval Knight Combat simulator (Buy Mount & Blade: Warbands if you want that(great game)).

Exotic Armors, and exotic materials, tied to Shards from that city, in both male and female versions. I also fully support the chailmail jockstrap comment.

I want to encourage girls to play games, not turn them off.

No "exotic" armor.

You threw me off when you mentioned you wanted "something a little bit more realistic" than the chainmail bikini.  More realism = man armor.

Perhaps you could rephrase your request somehow, more along the lines of "I want tits on a knight."

Exotic doesn't always mean Erotic. Exotic means unusual.

For Water Shards, allow armor made from fish scales, with nice visuals, it might give a bonus against fire damage if they implement that, but would just be like chain mail.

And if you want females to play that are not already hard core gamers, providing a fashion tie in wouldn't hurt, and don't call them 'girls'.

Lol, no worries surge.

AkuYama - I like those shard ideas!

Meh. Just throw it on the "RPG-only" pile with getting struck by lightning 20 times and still surviving with no permanent damage or getting chewed up by some monster, but never ever losing a limb, breaking bones, or having even scars or how a character can shrug off arrows all game but in a cutscene an arrow irrevocably kills a character.

All that kind of stuff is just in that pile, so it doesn't really kill immersion for me. Break most RPG stuff down and it stops making any sense.

Having impractical armor seems to pale in comparison, imo.

hehe, I have been called worse for less cause! Good point!

Women would definitely have been a better choice of words.

I gotta totally agree with this. When the design a game engine where you can pick and choose what real world physics and physiologies you want to use in the game, it might be more relevant, but not at this point!

Adante, 08/10 would rage again.

Unless you're serious, then I'd have to point out that Elemental having female specific armor (ie slightly curvy, like OP is suggesting and not chainmail bikini) would simply be a drop in the proverbial mysogyny ocean.

-J-

I could understand sexy mage gear... but armor is armor. It's supposed to cover, not reveal.

I was over at ign.com reading some previews and I could have sworn I heard someone say chainmail bikinis? /signed. - I agree though; more unique armour animations please.
