So where’s a big dynamic character like the Iron Bull that big beautiful women can dress up as? No one’s going to cosplay a Broodmother with multiple pairs of exposed breasts. If it moves, the Bull will try to get it to ride him. In Inquisition, the most sexually aggressive character is an overweight Qunari who calls himself the Iron Bull. This thought hit me after I played Dragon Age Inquisition. If I’m struggling with this, how do other cosplayers who are size 16 and up feel? But I’m only a size eight and I have these apprehensions. Let me be clear: I don’t expect video game developers to create cosplays just for me. I really applaud Bioware for creating older female characters in Wynne and Flemeth… but they’re both built like twenty-five year-olds from the neck down. But even Flemeth is thinner in leather armor than the average woman is totally naked. It’s good that their body type is represented. I’m actually glad that option is there because there are some people who can’t gain weight no matter what they do. The last female Inquisition companion, Sera, is a super skinny elf, like Merril before her. I still might try for Cassandra just because I love her that much, but I’m putting it off because it’s going to take a lot of work. Again, armor adds bulk, and it just doesn’t sit right if it’s not designed for a gal with ample boobs and butt. I would love to cosplay Cassandra… if I could squash my boobs into Seeker armor without the eye on the front looking skyward. But with all the other characters we get into the same issues affecting characters from past games. A Josephine cosplay should really be reserved for cosplayers who look Antivan. There’s no practical reason Josephine from Dragon Age: Inquisition can be recreated at any size. FemHawke’s is, so we have something of a winner there, but… seriously? Only one character? This could all be solved if the Warden or Inquisitor’s armor was at all distinct, like Shepard’s N7 armor, but it’s not. You don’t tend to see that in full-figured women.

And of course Aveline is wearing full armor, but I think that getting Aveline to look right is dependant on having a similar long, narrow face. I already mentioned Isabela, and at least you can wear a bra under Bethany’s costume. Why do only dwarves get to have nice things!?ĭragon Age II gives taller cosplayers with curves a bit more to work with, but it’s still not quite there. So if you’re under 5’4″ you have options – Branka, Bianca and Dagna are also great characters. The only remotely zaftig companion is Sigrun from the Awakening expansion. But I just can’t bring myself to brave the cosplay soup. You need major endurance to do mascot cosplay because it’s so very sweaty. That’s why it’s an issue that Isabela is the only female Dragon Age companion above a c-cup… unless you count Shale, but I think we can agree that Shale is an entirely different type of costume. You can make a body of any size work with a costume as long as the proportions are similar, but if your hip/waist/bust ratio doesn’t sync with the character it’s always going to look not quite right. In cosplay, body type and body size are very different beasts. While her costume doesn’t provide the same outright technical problems as Morrigan or Vivienne, you’re not going to capture her spymaster air of sleekness and mystery if you look like you’re wearing a chailmail mumu. Leliana’s Inquisition costume has a different issue for curvy ladies: she’s wearing so many layers of draping chainmail and tunics that it just drops straight down and kills your killer curves. There’s nowhere to put an ample busom in that outfit, especially the way her boobs are spaced apart like the Grand Canyon. Tape is designed to secure, not defy gravity. Similar issues plague the J-Lo-worthy plunging neckline of Vivienne’s best-known dress. It’s not pretty, and it hurts in a unique and special way.

That bikini ties around the neck, and on a woman with boobs above a certain size, that leads to welts on the skin over your spine because there’s just too much weight. Underneath that purple drape of cloth that passes for Morrigan’s shirt is a string bikini. But female Dragon Age characters often have outfits that are impossible for curvy women to wear without some sort of practical engineering issue. If you like a costume, you should wear that costume. I’m not a “cosplay for your body type” purist. I finally determined that there was just too much Liana for Morrigan. If you’ve watched this week’s Agents of Cosplay, you’re already aware of the mammary mishaps related to my attempts to make a Morrigan cosplay. For The Love of Cosplay, Bioware! Please Make A Plus-Sized Female Dragon Age Character! I haven’t done a Bioware cosplay for one simple reason: my boobs are too big.
