Scott Ryder 'BroRyder' (Official Thread)

I am so sorry
But really... short legs are proooobably due to the camera angle. No excuse for such short arms though

I wouldn't say he looks deformed, even if it's not the perfect ratio.

I've spent the last 15 mins holding a tape measure up to my screen to check this. ( )

The average human male is around 8 "heads" tall, Scott is around 7.4 heads tall.  The natural bend, i.e. where the torso meets the legs mid crotch should be exactly halfway between the top of the head and the heel.  If this holds true for Scott it should be around 3.7 heads, but it's 3.9ish.

I can confirm, his torso is longer than it should be for his height OR his legs are too short.  Not too much of a difference however, and I think it's a good thing they don't have another.  I think Scotty here is just a little on the short side, proportions for us guys don't tend to fall into the ranges that they do for average height males in the west.

And I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/5rg8ch/as_an_illustrator_and_a_3d_modeler_with_some/

I just hope it looks better in game.

Aw man.... now I can't unsee either. I'm hoping it's just the bulky armor that makes them look weird and not a base model problem.

I've been thinking the same thing about the body proportions for Scott, but also for Sara and Cora too. Something just seems...off.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it.

She looks fine for me in game.

I'm just gonna leave this here

I'd actually like a smaller Scott (but with normal arm length and an adjustable body build, please).

I doubt it, too....but it would still be cute. I like small guys. I hope we'll get at least different builds.. I always thought the protagonists in Bioware games look too muscular, although I understand, that people like this and that it makes sense with military background. But still...a more slimly built person who's still sporty would make sense as well. I hope we can at least change between two or three body types.

Me too. Unfortunately it looks like BroRyder's at least 6' sine he's taller than Cora who's 5'8". I think different body types like in SWTOR or an adjustable build like fallout 4 would be great (It'd be better if we could get both even, but that's a long shot.) and doable, if BW really wanted. And yeah, not just denying it seems strange. If they expected people to be angry about it, they'll be even more miffed that BW didn't just say no in the beginning. So fingers crossed 

(Otherwise, there's always headcanon)
