'Ugly characters?' thread

How do I get in on this chastisement

Probably because Bethesda features are more simplified. At least, that's my going theory. The problem with more realistic faces is that they have wrinkles, and details you might not like, whereas with a stylized face you can fill in your preferred features.

Buuuuuut I'm still going to wait and see before I indulge in any panic.

(Granted, I'm against drama and not particularly invested in hotness level anyway, so that's two strikes against me panicking anyway. Oh well, never claimed to be unbiased.)

Yeah, they aren't that great. They don't seem to do this with the male companions.
Also, people can sit around an go "OMG idk what you're talkin about. Cassandra is super gorgeous" all they want, but standards of beauty exist even if you pretend they don't. There's a reason the majority of the planet thinks Halle Berry and Amber Heard are attractive, while most would say Steve Buscemi isn't. It's subjective to a degree, but at a certain level, it isn't. And you all know that, so I don't get why so many people pretend they don't.

I just don't get it. I can't understand why some people are getting this upset over a few female characters that don't fit into their exact type.

By the way, I remember the "outrage" from some of these very same posters about about Morrigan's alpha look. She wasn't quite finished yet. There was some rather brutal comments about her design and towards the devs because of it. Then when her final look came out, they were declaring that "BioWare hates all straight men" because she wasn't available to romance.

Funny thing. I remember complaints about Isabela due to her looks as well. And yes, this was mostly coming from posters that declared themselves as straight men. She was too dark; her figure was too exaggerated; her breasts were too big; her armor was a joke. Then let's shift over to the complaints I read about Merrill: Not enough of a figure; her face tattoo looked like something shat on her face, ect.

Yes, Steve Buscemi is not conventionally attractive. However, he's got talent, class and charisma. He's got a very lovely wife by the way. The physical attraction is only a part of what makes a person hot. I know some folks will disagree, but that comparison doesn't hold water with me.

With the way some folks go on and on, you'd think that BioWare has always hated straight men. I have seen no evidence to support this and I'm sorry, but to me posting pics of Sara or Cassandra or whoever isn't evidence of that. It goes to show that, yet again, this is a matter of personal taste.

Now it's been reduced to complaining about the customizable protagonist based upon late Alpha to early Beta footage. Really?

Finally, instead of complaining that BioWare "hates straight men and here's why," try focusing on the positive. Start talking about what you'd like to see for at least one female LI and not just put up modded Skyrim pictures or TW footage. What kind of hair color? Do you like it long or pulled up? Do you prefer shorter hair? What kind of figure do you like?

I think it makes for more fun topic to talk about what we would like instead of declaring a SJW conspiracy. Again.

What, they are NOT catering to me?

I'm curuious if any of the folks here who say it's all up to personal tastes thinks she is not attractive. 

Yeah I agree I've created characters in DAI that I'd consider attractive I even consider my Rachel Travelyan to be kind of sexy so it's possible and whilst her hair is a mod  her face  is built using the in game settings.

I think she's attractive.

But I also think Cassandra is attractive.

And I don't think that Miranda is attractive.

Personally, I think that Vivienne is the most beautiful of the human females in any of the current series.  But others find her to be unattractive.

Because it's personal tastes.

She's not super attractive, imho.  I'm not a fan of spaghetti arms, toothpick legs, or pear-shaped bodies, and I'm hoping that Ryder will be more hourglass than pear-shaped, and have more muscle on her body than Shepard did.  I'm also not terribly crazy about super-long hair, especially on someone who should have more important things to do with her time than muck around with her hair.  Of course, I'd need to know more about her personality and whatnot to decide whether I find her hot, since that has a lot to do with attraction for me.

I'm also trying to figure why people think this guy:



Is sooooo ultra-hunk.  I'm not here to insult anyone's tastes, but he looks pretty average to me.  He's in desperate need of a razor to get rid of the sparse stubble, and the haircut is 'meh' at best.

Ah, another conspiracy theorist.  YAY!

Read Panda's comment again.  No one in there does she state that only Sarah should be able to romance Vetra.  Stop trying to find things to complain about.  Try enjoying stuff instead.  You'll live a happier life.
