After discussing the disturbing attitude towards female protagonists in video game industry Jimquisition once again tackles the topic of gender in games by commenting on controversy around Dragon’s Crown female character designs.

Sorry to post again about not-exactly-warrior-outfits, but it’s a very relevant case concerning strictly related areas (character design, women in popular culture).

Bringing the case of Dragon’s Crown’s female character design problems as a reminder that just because lady hero’s “sexyness” is exaggerated deliberately doesn’t automatically make it okay. Especially not when she’s not that different looking from any other generic sexy warrior we already have too much of in media.

My Revenant character’s armour was looking a little shabby, so I went to the armoursmiths in Hoelbrak to see what they could set me up with.

I don’t think “disappointment” is quite a suitable term for this. Usually Guild Wars is pretty good with heavy armour, and then there’s the S&M harnesses the Norn characters get….
