Cipher probably. Now just to find myself an epic trench coat and name him Neo.

I hope they're very rare, this isn't supposed to feel like Diablo. It should be possible to improve non-magical items and finding a magical item should be one of those "Oooh!" moments. I'd also like it if they felt very unique (distinct magical properties).

On the plate bikini issue: Afaik it's already been confirmed by Obsidian that there will be none. I certainly don't want to see it and it makes no sense other than to appeal to men playing the game. (and I CERTAINLY don't want to see men wearing plate bikinis ... holy crap that's an image I'd rather live without). As far as how women are portrayed in the game, I just hope, and knowing Obsidian fully expect, it to simply make sense from the POV of whatever the local lore is. I expect the exact same for men in the game. As far as "feminism" is concerned, my 2 cents are as follows: Women in western society have not been discriminated against for years now. They have more legal privileges, leniency and support than males in nearly any situation, and there is no case (bar maybe stuff like proffesional football ?) where they are prohibited from taking part. There are far more women only political, social, educational and sports groups than there are male only (if any). Most, if not downright all, social "expectations" from women of the 19th-20th century have been phased out completely, while many men are still expected to adhere to them today ( I just love it when I'm next to the door in an elevator and some chick next to me barges in over me because she expects me to let her through first ... sigh )
