I wish mods on here would be less lenient. I've seen people get banned for creating threads like this or less on other boards. Disagree. Controversial threads are fun, IMO, so long as it doesn't devolve into insults and personal attacks. If people's opinions get automatically shut down just because they're controversial or against popular opinion I will be out of here quick as a blink. I'm not a fan of censorship.

I could understand not finding the character attractive. What is or isn't physically appealing is subjective, and varies from person to person. ...but cancelling a preorder over a collection of pixels not being pretty enough? Romances in Bioware games are just optional side content that add a bit of additional character development. They aren't an inextricable part of the story and have no impact on gameplay, and in a game that takes 30 plus hours to play, how much of that is actually spent on the romance content? Probably less than an hour. Assuming the whole preorder cancelled routine wasn't just hyperbole, it seems like an overreaction to something which is ultimately a minor part of the game. So, you think is right that the ONLY FEMALE HUMAN IN THE SQUAD we have, is ugly? THE ONLY ONE, is like making Ashley bald, she is the only human female romance we have in the squad, I can totally understand someone cancelling the preorder.

I think Cora looks fine. She doesn't look that great in the initiate video, but in some scenes of the trailer she looks awesome. Some angles make everyone look awful. Bioware can't please everyone. There are going to people who state "____" is ugly. They must hate our player base. Looks aren't everything. One persons beautiful is another persons ugly. Beauty is subjective. People who don't like the look of the characters don't have to play or just get over it. "Beauty is subjective" Can you tell me of anyone who finds this beautiful? [MOD-REDACTED] We all should agree Cora isn't pretty, you may not consider her the paragon of ugliness but that doesn't stop her from having a man jaw and a terrible haircut, everyone likes different things but she is not a Miss Universe, much less a Disney Princess or a supermodel. I see very pretty eyes, which reflect what's inside.

Anyway: So like The women (Triss, Yen and Siri Ciri) in TW3, they're all gorgeous, and I have no problem with that. If they were romance options in a BW game I'd totes romance them. Sayin that, when I look at them, its like If you took away their hair/gave them the same color schemes/took away marks like scars and eye makeup, put a Yen wig & contacts on Triss etc and so forth, I would legit have trouble telling them apart :| facially they are all pretty similar.. you know, like the structure. I like that BW make relatively visually-distinct (from each other) female characters I guess. Also, I find Cora plenty attractive, I think she looks hot and badass and I love that cut. I don't think Yen and triss have the same face structure, they are different but both are beautiful. Bioware should make women like them, or at least one. I mean, is a fantasy game, who care if they where one or more super models in space?

they aren't clones no but for me they are both pretty facially similar. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ nothing wrong with hot women or supermodels in space, but why doee the fact that it's a sci-fi/fantasy game necessitate that there should be a Designated Supermodel on the team? bioware should make more women that make men post angry threads, I need to feed

This isn't controversial. This is just being nasty and mean to be nasty and mean because they know they can get away with it. I have no desire to contribute to this person's thread anymore then I already have so I won't be responding further.

This is utterly pointless. Even accepting that this is a discussion that the forum allows for - something I'm loathe to do, but so be it - the last thread got closed for becoming a morass of circular arguments. What's changed? That this thread has a more specific target doesn't make it any different from the last one, so it's just gonna go around and around again for page after page, until we have a poll and it's closed, again.
Like, if this thread's going to stay up, it might as well just be merged with the old one, with that thread reopened.

Why should we ALL agree Cora isn't pretty? Are we all using your standards on beauty? You speak for everyone? We all grew up with the same standard of beauty, none of us grew up in a forest away from civilizatoin We all know this is pretty May be your fetish, may be not, maybe you PREFER fat women without teeth so oral is better, but no one should refuse Barbie is pretty because we all agreed she is pretty. Cora IS NOT inside this standard of pretty, you may find her attractive, pretty, etc etc, but you can't refuse she doesn't belong to the conventional beauty, specially because of the man jaw, fat cheeks, weird eyes and terrible haircut.

Triss has a smaller nose too I have read a lot of people said that it wouldn't not realistic that all companions were pretty, that why i said that. who care if it realist or not. Not only men are tired of ugly companions, i tell you that lol

There is no need to continously repeat yourself.

Dude, for the same reason women were the only ones being saved in the Titanic, a lot of people saved Ashley just because she was a woman, don't ask me why, because they consider her the weak gender that must be protected? because they think every women should be idolized just for being a woman?Don't ask me, people treating other people different depending on the gender is a REAL thing. It's because in our society men are still seen as disposable. It's been deeply ingrained in our thinking to believe that women are inherently worth more than men. Not because they are weak and fragile, but because their ability to bear children was vital for the survival of the group. A man can impregnate many women, so he is not the limiting factor in replenishing population size. Of course, with the population numbers we have today, those concepts are quite outdated. But it is so deeply ingrained in our thinking (and continues to be reinforced by society), that it still affects our decisions.

I'm sorry some people are disappointed with Cora's look. Even if I thought everyone was ugly, it wouldn't stop me from playing. I'm here for the storyline. Hopefully you'll still enjoy the game.

Sorry, didn't know opnions that weren't "pro character" weren't allowed, I forgot that is alright loving her for her appearance and putting her in your avatar but is wrong not liking her appearance.
