Every race looks like a Victoria's secret model in full cosplay. They're just too damn sexy, it genuinely breaks immersion for me. Maybe I'm weird, but I would prefer it if character customization went far enough that I could play as a genetic monstrosity. Or at the very least just a normal looking person. Even the dwarves have just a bit of the sexy virus, sure they're still the squat stout characters that live in storybooks. But when I look in that face I can still see a twink underwear model staring back with a haughty glare.

The characters you can create look normal and not too sexy for me smirk. I just wish for female elves to have an Asian face <3.

I know this would require a fair amount of resources invested, but admittedly wouldn't mind more options to create, say, bulky, fat or mature/old looking characters.
Right now admittedly most of the options available are "what degree of young and hot you want to look like?" with male elves in particular looking like the metrosexual casting for a some brand of perfume/shampoo.

Well, except for Giths. They look like ass.

Hey, at least halflings gave me some interesting options to create the "grizzled adventurer" type: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2259419506









Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN

I am here to discuss a video game. Please do not try to rope me into anything other than that. Thank you.

Really? There were a lot of complaints of people who thought everyone looks ugly. A matter of taste I suppose. I think most of them are truly beautiful but there are some who are jarringly ugly

To the contrary, the male elves look grotesquely masculine...with weirdly out of place metrosexual pouting duck face lips. To me it looks like Larian confused elves with half-elves given the elves come with several clearly has distinct human ethnic features (more so than humans even!) whereas half-elves look more fey/western.

Think there is an option for male elves to look asian(chinese/japanee/korean look) and female half elves.

You may have been looking through the wrong catalogues. I find most of the female faces (I tend to go for dwarf, halfling and human characters) to be pleasant but not devastatingly sexy, with some bordering on plain. The bodies are, well, just digitally-created bodies. Nothing to get excited about. I'd prefer an option to alter them (I still don't hold with slim halflings, it ain't natural), but if that ever comes it probably won't be in EA.

Beyond that... well, sexy is subjective. When people describe someone or some race/species as 'sexy' or attractive I roll my eyes. What I find sexy might well leave you cold and vice-versa. 'Sexy' as a basic description is not terribly helpful when described by someone else.

If you open your eyes a little you’ll see the whole game is over stylized like that. I think they had some kind of mandate to look overly high fantasy because of D&D. It’s immersion breaking for me but all these D&D people seem to love it, or have never been camping or something. All the males look Abercrombie and Fitch models, you’re right.

I think the thing that exacerbates it is they’re clearly 3D scanned heads of real people, and then they slap them on slender man bodies. It’s super weird to see. Like a bunch of heads in jars snapped alien bodies.

Like in the first convo with Shadowheart they do a tight zoom on her face and you’re like ‘oh that’s unmistakably based on a real person, not a cartoon.” Then they pan out and she’s a slender man in a metal dress.
