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.
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.
