'Ugly characters?' thread

I'm with you there. I can understand the appeal of the aliens who mostly look like humans. There's enough similarity there to find them physically attractive. Asari, Quarians, and although they aren't my cup of tea, Angarans. They all pretty much have human faces and body types that are very similar to own.

But Turians? Krogan? I just don't get it.

As to your question about Krogan anatomy, the unfortunate answer is yes. There was a joke in ME1 about Krogan having four testicles. 

That appears to be very true, Cassandra for example, i can agree she did not look great on first viewing, but she looked a lot prettier in the game, that improved her look massively while still keeping the style they wanted. 

Cassandra is so underrated, I romanced Yennefer in my Witcher 3 play through and as far as the over all package, she does not hold a candle to Cass. 

It'd be interesting to see what it would be like if the game could actually react to tossing a character out the airlock.

It would be. I would also include crewmembers. Imagine what it would be like to throw Chakwas out the airlock? I like the character, but I would do it for a laugh and to see the look on her face before she gets tossed out. I don't see Bioware putting that option in any future ME game.
Someone else may know the answer to this, but I wonder if Ryder is a ding dong to a squadmate if that squadmate will leave? I know it can happen in DA.

PB is ridiculously ugly. I'm not surprised and I wouldn't expect anything different since DAI. Come on, it is the company policy, gay inclusion (wich is amazing), trans inclusion (as I said in other posts, great in DA, kind of out of place in ME) and ugly inclusion (this ugly inclusion is divided under two types of ugliness, manly-women and non-white-disasters)
Sometimes they hit the spot with black/colored people like Vivienne, she has strong black features, she is BLACK, unapologetically black, and very beautiful at that, other times they just screw it completely
The women with not-so-feminine-facial-features... it is ok because we have a standard for women faces but beyond that standard they vary from korean-childlike to netherlands-neanderthal.

Cassandra is more male than Gregor Clagane but she is beautiful (I love romancing her), PB is worse, she is just ugly, she is not even masculine, just plain ugly, uglyness in its purest state. But again, you need to accept it, it is a company policy, they are going to put ugly women on their games, and male-women, because they want to educate us. Just accept it. Uglyness is to be expected from Bioware from now (DAI) on, either because of androginy or just because they tried to make women plain ugly.

I think it is part of this new age, I just hope our science evolves faster than our counscience and we can eventually all look like hollywood dolls instead of learning to think critically about it. And no, it is not sarcasm, if we do not rush towards the "Plastic beauty" chances are we are going to think PB is beautiful in the future, a sad future where uglyness is celebrated. It is already bad in real world, now we can't even scape to fantasy to look for it, I mean, yeah there is Yennefer, Triss and others but Bioware is gone and others will follow...

Non feminine women and not focusing on pretty women makes absolute sense in combat games... except that it is not supposed to make sense, it is fantasy, fiction, the whole point of having a fantasy world is doing things you can't do in real life like flying, summoning lightning or dressing like a princess in the battlefield (because you can protect youself with mana barriers and biotic shields). Boys want to open craters with punches and stuff, it is unfair that they get it and people looking for femininity can't have it because it is not "realistic".

In all fairness the blond lady seems pretty, not that I spent time analyzing it, but is seems balanced... for now. Eventually Bioware will make all women so ugly you will want to have sex with broodmother instead of kissing a female NPC. I don't really care as long as my character can be beautiful Bioware can screw the NPC however they like.
