Barbarella!

Are the Sexes going to be wearing different items. I mean a breast plate for a male is going to be a lot different then a breast plate for a woman, especially if the designers and artists are male, and get paid for making them buoyant

[LarryPaul]

Good question. I'd like to see different designs on the same item, depending whether your char is male/female. Or is that sexist?

[Kutsa]

If there aren't different looking armors for both, why bother drawing the bewbs in the first place? I think the looks will change according to the gender.

Oblivion changes it, based on the sex of the character. That is the only game I can recall that changes. Shouldn't be too difficult, I wouldn't think.

There probably needs to be a different 3d models for every armor item for every class for both male and female. The 3d chestplate that fits the wich doctor can't be worn by the barbarian, else he can't breathe. The same textures may be used, mapped onto different 3d models.
With 5 classes you would need 10 models for every unique looking armor item.

So to answer your question, yes they will be wearing different items.

WoW changes it too.

I think its a safe bet to say that armor sets will have both male and female versions.

Well, it would certainly be a little awkward if a male barbarian were wearing a female breastplate. Unless he has some moobage.

[Kinnison]

Oh yes the rendered model would be diff.

But what about actual items that are Sex-specific. Females could have special breast plates, and males have cod-pieces

The first Barbarian wearing female armour wouldn´t have to pay for drinks in my neighbourhood considering it´s "camp" attitude..lol

The new set would be called the Immortal Queen.
