Not the highest priority but it would be nice. Gear in general is pretty bland and having girls in armor that don't look just like the men in armor adds some flavor.
Looks like "light evening armor" to me
But seriously, don't add any playboy-style pseudo armors for females into the game. Moreover, a woman in combat with long hair waving all around is only asking to be grabbed by them. It's all quite silly.
I don't think "silly" is a valid argument 'round here.
You'd better back that up with some hard facts like cleavage area or armor transparency...
The last example shown is more "formal occasions".
Fun > Practicality. It's not like people are going to get ideas from Elemental, and girls are going to try to find spiders to stab while wearing impractical armor and giant anime hair.
But there is something to the mental picture of a girl dressing up in a chainmail bikini just to thwap a spider with a newspaper.
DIE, VILE CREATURE!
Logical or sane? No, it isn't. But I can be that all day long...Wonder how long we'll have to wait for the first topless mod.
Diablo 1 had topless demons in the release version. Even though it was only like 5 pixels of cleavage. But it's the thought that counts. =P
LOL
I hope for her sake that newspaper has a high attack rating. Of course, with the randomness, she could have a sledgehammer and just do 1 damage to it
so has anyone created a mod for sexy female lingerie yet?
Agree that padded armor is HORRIBLE Looking. Makes them look like cockroaches.
So something like this would be out of the question then? It's practical, and protective, and it is made for a woman.
Female battle armor is usually within the Light and Medium ranges, because they like to be more agile. Personally I think women soldiers should have an increase to dodge and agility stats, that way there would be a good reason to choose and egalitarian faction.

The morale of this post. You dont have to be naked to look like a woman
No, but it helps! Besides, I don't think anyone said anything about having the woman be "naked".
Let's face it.....men are far more "visual" than women, so when women in real life wear tight-fitting jeans, thongs, short skirts, low-cut tops etc. etc. they are in fact doing it for us men! Why shouldn't it be the same in-game?
I'm so evil......hehe
You say that like there isn't ComicCon and countless cosplay of even the most obscure characters. People will cosplay pretty much anything. Though I suppose the Stargate cos-players have it the easiest; that's just surplus military gear.
Exactly, and I think the real thrust of this thread is exactly that.
Not the "OMG I WANT ALMOST NEKID CHICKS IN THE GAME" like some tried to turn it into.
i think the "thrust" (freudian slip?) of this thread is simply that we want more interesting armor. the rest is just having fun at the expense of prudes. i could be wrong. but i'm not.
Maybe, maybe not.
Don't ask, don't tell.
I'm a girl and I'm not interested in porn! But I'd like some female armor that's different from the male armor, if only in its design.
I can't believe this thread wasn't completely laughed off the boards and locked. Why not hot MALE armor? Sexists.
Sexy male armor:

Mod Him in!!!
That would be totally worth it.
(if only as a thinly veiled excuse to include scantily clad females as well...)
If people wanted hot male armour they would post a thread about it, surely?
Anyway, back to rounding up the prudes.
Also the kinds of armour I like to see females in is not porn. Porn is easy to get. Hot armour is like 'internet fashion' and is more about sensual design and beauty (which is just shapes really). Thats much more interesting than porn anyway.
I wouldn't want melee warriors in bikines, but I wouldn't mind seeing the armor accustomed to the more elegant female shapes/
Sometimes I see one of the enemy females run around in just a Plate breastplate, and it's less than flattering.
Find me an argument in the thread AGAINST hot male armor and then we'll talk about sexism
Well, I red all this thread so far (by the way, sorry for my english in advance) and nobody explained why sexy armor on girl (or women, no offense there) have the exact same protective value than their conterpart male armor? Simple! It's because the guys in the other army wont want to dammage her or will be too distract to hit correctly. For sure, it's not logic, but I thnik in a fantasy world this explanation could work . But, to be more serious, I think that the option of BOTH realistic and exotic (read sexy, and I mean sexy not porn) armor should be done like someone else already suggest. It's a game, so let's have some fun.
That's a funny case of when something that is intuitive and makes sense is horribly wrong. As anyone who's ever been in any sort of fight or high stress situation can tell you, if you're in that kind of situation and are distracted by unimportant details like that, you're dead. While that may seem like it proves your point, it doesn't. Pretty much any soldier worth their salt doesn't think about 'OOO BOOBS!' or 'Aw... she's cute! I don't hit women!'. They think "Mother f- is pointing a gun at me and my squad. It's a hostile target that needs to be taken out'.
And any woman who tries it in a fight is going to find that no one cares. When someone wants something and is willing to fight for it, they're not focused on your boobs.
Or to put it another way, when has being naked ever stopped someone who really wants to shoot someone else from doing so?
Now, this isn't to say that armor can't be sexy, feminine, and powerful, but as a handful of others have mentioned, this doesn't equal bikinis. A few pictures have been posted that are clearly feminine and attractive and overall aesthetically pleasing without being going into gag boobs territory. Female armor can denote and connote femininity without resorting to hackneyed ideas.
