Have you heard about Masquerada? It’s a game currently being developed by Witching Hour Studios and it looks amazing! Also mostly because the female characters in it are properly dressed for combat. (such low standards, I know, but I’ll take this over chainmail bikinis any day)

Masquerada is set for a 2016 release. Thought I’d give it a little shoutout!

This does look pretty awesome. And ysbryd games seems pretty committed to publishing all kinds of cool indie games.

I definitely look forward to seeing how this one turns out.

I’m so excited for this comic, but… boob window?????

Caveats: Boob window character is a mage, hot shirtless man also provided. 

While I don’t work there or really know anyone who does, I sometimes feel like I can almost hear the discussions that must go on at Bioware with demands of Creepy Marketing Guy and then everyone else working out how to compensate for them.

In Dragon Age: Inquisition it seemed to be that they had to keep Morrigan’s original outfit (even though the concept art shows they had some amazing ideas) but we got wonderful takedowns on bikini armor and dashingly handsome male romance options.

In Magekiller it seems we’ll have to have booby evil mages:

And handsome male protagonist who walks around with his shirt off:

Since they have ditched the battle bikinis, I hope that one day soon we will see the day when Thedas’ morally questionable female mages get a less cliched outfits.

Sergeant Delphine Angua Von Überwald from the Discworld adaption, Going Postal. She’s wearing the exact same armour as her Watchmen counterparts, with the exception of her badge being on a collar around her neck, because she’s a werewolf and it pays to advertise you’re still a Watchbeing when you’re about to rip a miscreants arm off.

In the books, it is mentioned she had her breastplate reworked, to “suggest there was something other than muscle under there”, which implies Watchwomen get given the exact same armour as everyone except the trolls.

I’m pretty sure the breastplate line was always intended to be a boobplate joke, as in Angua is so busty she needs one fitted. Especially since in the earlier books the Watch was issued with relatively random and ill-suiting uniforms (hence fat sergeant Colon is noted to wear a muscle cuirass).

It was a relief to see the mini series give her a regular breastplate.

That said, the character in the books in general is a stone-cold badass and the start of Ankh-Morpork’s City Watch becoming Discworld’s most diverse organization, both gender- and race-wise. Angua and her fellow watchwomen (especially Cheery Cheri Littlebottom, the breaker of dwarf gender taboo) deserve all the love from BABD.

Watch. Just… Watch. This is actually painful. I came across this on a game with ads… Blah!

So the amazingly insecure “sexiest RPG ever” has an amazingly terrible trailer… but personally what I find most baffling is the blurb:

“Sword of Chaos combines the elements of fatal attraction and chaotic violence into a unique and astonishing visual feast. Immerse yourself in a world of violence and unleash your inner wildness. Sensing, Tasting, Hacking, Slashing and Fighting dominate your every move, as you fight to destroy all that stands before you!“

And here I thought that Fallout 4 was the only RPG with cannibalism being released this year. Of course, that’s not surprising given how truly creative and original this production is.

And apparently no expense has been spared regarding quality either…

I’m really hoping that mainstream games will start to notice this trend and be inspired to distance themselves from it bikini armor.
