Supposed inside sources reveal what went wrong with character models.

What's your objection to equal representation for mannequins and corpses?

Right I don't care if you beautify them or not, but fix the damn eyes and weird "not human" feeling they give off. Though I argue that facial scanning while good technology will not recreate a face exactly. Details are going to need to be retouched no matter how you slice it. Add in the details, the quirks. And so if they are so concerned with representing real women then why not just learn to create better and more realistic face structure? Better and more variety in facial textures? More ways to skin a cat and all that jazz. 

Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

If they put it to sleep for like ten years then come back with something amazing, then they could redeem it lol.

Right...but they apparently weren't opposed to the atrocity that is default Sara Ryder.

Default Male Ryder is just like the model photograph, but the female one isn't. That seems too much of a difference to be mere incompetence.

Face-scans were directly named as one of the reasons behind the limited and lacking CC, it was on a dev's twit.
I suppose that's just an extra evidence of 'facial scans' and 'customizable CC-based PC' features not working well together.

With a 5 year development cycle, 1 year of which was apparently wasted in No Mans Sky experiments along with the decision to not hire professional writers, key people bailing on the project mid development among other things it's pretty obvious to me that the games problems is due to incompetent management. It was their first AAA game and it apparently was too big for their britches.

Also the "represent real women" thing boggles the mind. I have never, ever made a character and thought, no she's too pretty. Over sexualized due to armor, make up or what not maybe, but in generally I want my character to be beautiful.
I mean, there's a middle ground between Naomi Cambell at a photoshoot and the nerdy Star Bucks barrista that is Sara Ryder... she's the hero,she's my representation in the game... i don't want her to be super plain.

If they wanted a good representation of women they should've looked at the new Lara Croft, not fucking Wall Mart or whatever...

Real representation of women ? Wut ?

I mean i have probably seen women as ugly as Sara but by god you really need to look for them to find them. Why is in the current days such a bad thing for a woman to be sexy ? Hell some of the women in my uni are so gorgeous that they may as well be models - but no they are just normal human beings.

At the very least if you are gona make them intentionally ugly - be so kind to make them act like human beings and not like some monsters that have striped the skin of a human and now are desperately trying to act like one. Sara just gives me chills when she starts emoting - its like a horror scene.

Don't be like that,many people are making genuine/valid points.

This thread offers an insight into how "today's" Bioware operates......imagine all the animations and characters in Mass Effect were mind blowing/amazing.......Bioware would get all the credit,praise and respect but they didn't do any of it........which is why I asked what does a "Bioware" actually do these days.??

He says on a Bioware fan forum talking about Bioware.
