You know....the constant complaining towards Sara's face is getting to be kinda offensive.

lol

I wonder...how many of the people who complain about Sarah being ugly, actually look like near perfect Human specimens themselves?!

WHAT THE FUCK?
It's been some time since i read this level of bullshit...

There's often a variation in the quality of various game features. Usually down to choice, engine type and gaming priorities.

I spend time occasionally posting as the BSN YouTube account and some of the shit people come out with is eye-watering. Stuff that can only be credibly shared by an anonymous poster.

Dumb and originality rarely go hand in hand, so calling out Sara/Cora/Cassandra are 'ugly' are easy claims to taunt fitting in with a 'BioWare are all SJWs' narrative.

It's perfectly possible to make even more 'pretty' characters in other engines if the face didn't have to be fully customisable but that's not the case here.

Is it offensive? No, it says more about the poster than the character.

If the story is terrific we won't care about this.
If it's not, the protagonist's default face will be a lesser matter.

I think she looks fine in the stills. Not the usual porn star look many developers seem to think is the female ideal. It's when she she moves her face that she looks odd and that's an animation problem.
Peebee looks great (apart from the eyebrows, obvs).

Uhhh... Marry me?

Who cares what ugly women think? There are plenty of ugly men who are mocked as well, but they just deal with it and move on. I'd say ugly women have it far easier because they will usually end up with a loving partner and family anyway and they're not automatically assumed to be pedophiles like ugly men are. Maybe media should stop lying to women and should instead tell them that being ugly isn't the end of the world. Plenty of ugly people live fulfilling lives.

In other words, there's nothing wrong with being ugly but there's nothing wrong with me wanting hot women in a video game that I play for entertainment. If someone takes issue with that or other complaints then the issue lies with them and their own insecurity.

I never liked Sheploo. I don't even know how Default Fem-Shep looks. I made my owns. I seriously don't get this whining. Either we are plagued by the worst generation of man-children I've ever known to exist, or the most helpless. Either way they ought to be shamed of themselves.

One thing I blame is the over-sexualisation of media, including games. Some men are so used to it they might not even understand what is normal and what is not, and what is entitled, childish whining and what is not. They seriously are so used to see women as objects they just can't get out of that zone because they don't even understand it is a zone. My God how are they gonna survive when they understand that they can't order a perfect wife/gf from a catalogue and the thing that looks them from the mirror, well, it actually isn't Adonis and many women don't find it much attractive.

OK (sorry flyingovertrout to drag you in, could not find original post), science nerd coming in with the science here to argue the opposite. Real Zoologists and biologists, feel free to correct my neophyte attempt to discern truth from semi - science.

At some point in the human evolutionary period, probably during the transition to bipedalism, humans took up monogamy. Groups of apes started breaking off from one another, namely females who became more aggressive and defensive over their territories. Scientists think this was because at this point the idea of 'alpha' male in the group was starting to become infeasible. The transition from a male ape to another male ape would involve the next male ape killing all existing young and then killing unborn young at the point in which they were born, in order to ensure that it was theirs. Thus, monogamy was more logical because it would prevent infanticide. This gave weaker males the opportunity to mate with females - as long as they brought them food in order to 'attract' them. Females appealed to males for food and instinctual breeding, and males appealed to females for instinctual breeding. 

It is a natural balance - not so more than the other. If you look at the psychology of the modern man and woman, one would realize that both try to attract one another almost equally. It has been found that societal expectations may have skewed this one way or another, but this is solely based upon society and culture and can vary from region to region.

Therefore, it is difficult to state that your statement is accurate  because it is not, at least, biologically defined as an 'obsession'. Something to be conscientious about, yes, an unhealthy obsession skewed one way, no.

In regards to the topic, I do think it's been blown out of proportion, but again, it's the internet. People will complain because the sky is blue, and, the anonymity of the internet also makes people more brave. I've been bullied on the Internet (not fun), and I doubt that those people would ever say it to my face. 

Erm.

Nah not touching this with a barge pole.
