Some extremely fresh vintage workwear that I bought forentirely practical reasonsaside, I’m not exactly a fashion person. I have nobody to impress most days but my cat, and the only item of clothing she appears to have an opinion on is my Oodie, which is very comfortable for both of us and also smells like a chicken shop, which I imagine is more pleasant for her than me.
This aside, I found myself taking a whole bunch ofDragon Age: The Veilguardscreenshots as I played just to capture theRPG’s various outfits. They areridiculous. Incredibly intricate and detailed, as well as being obscenely impractical for the most part. I do not like any of them in the sense I would wear them, but I like all of them in the sense that they display artists allowed to run free like caffeinated weasels and indulge their every whim.
I do have a little bit of a conspiracy theory here, which is that these are somewhat of a holdover from a cancelledlive-service incarnationofDragon Age4. Can’t have a live service without fancy outfits, and the sheer excess of some of them seem like the sort of thing that’s meant to grab your attention in a shop. This isn’t to suggest any sort of disposability or lack of care here, though. If anything, the meticulousness of these designs - and how they utilise the geometric themes of the game’s secondary tarot art style - makes them feel like the antithesis to thatAI generated CODskin.
