About this image

I ended up changing her outfit for now.The Dalish are a noble people, but there's nothing noble about frostbitten toes when you have proper shoes on hand.

    If you don't know, the reason the da2 elf armors don't have shoes was a miscommunication in the design department. The person who designed the elf armors didn't realize that they were also supposed to design the boots too. By the time the mistake was discovered it was too late to fix so they left them without shoes! (if that doesn't prove the game was rushed, I'm not sure what does!)

      I never knew that! What about the Inquisition armors? Did they just decide that it was part of the lore now that elves don't wear shoes EVEN THOUGH THE DALISH LIVE OUTSIDE?

      DA2 is the reason why I'm never upset when a game is delayed. It's the perfect example of everything that can go wrong when game companies only care about money and players only care about combat. (If I had a dime for every time I argued with someone who claims DA2 is better than DAO because the "combat is faster" ...)

      I haven't played DAI so don't know about the DAI armor but probably.

      That's what they did with Sten and him not having horns. He was supposed to have them like every other qunari but when someone looked at the design they realized that he wouldn't be able to wear the standard helmets.

      So it was redesign all the quanri heads, prevent all of them from wearing helmets (as you may have noticed none of the other quanri wear them), redesign all the helmets, design 'special' quanri helmets or... just make Sten 'hornless'. So that's what they did.

      But now they have incorporated that into the lore that being 'hornless' is somehow special but they don't know why! lol

      I know. I'm like if you want fast combat why are you playing a medevil based fantasy roel playing game! Go play an action game or first person shooter!

    That is so true! I really like the Dalish armours but I'm not a big fan of the bare feet to be honest. xD

      I LOVE the Dalish armors- it's one of the reasons I was excited to play one, actually. But their feet! At least put some socks on! D:
