Suggestion: Thinner Male Character #485087 03/04/14 07:05 PM

OP Alphatester stranger A Joined: Dec 2013	Hey guys, tried the beta last night, and the progress has been amazing. I love all the new customization options (clearly not finished, too). However, will the final version have a skinnier male model? For that matter, how about a buffer female model? All in the name of variety. Last edited by Alphatester; 03/04/14 07:06 PM.

So, making a new body type wouldn't just be a case of a new character model, it would also require reworking all the armor sets as well in order to create an additional variant (for slimmer male characters). And that's a lot of work.

Why would a mage be so unrealistically buff? it's an illusion he puts on himself to attract the ladies . But, seriously, yeah, body builder mage looks ridiculous.

It might have worked if Roderick and Scarlett were the decided and stiff characters (ranger and warrior?), but now that we have much more freedom and customization options it can't be simply left like that. Larian was able to give us different body-types in Beyond Divinity as well.

I wonder what they will do in the end. The more I think about the issue with the stiff body types, the more unnerved and worried I become. Ugh.

Sent stranger S Joined: Mar 2014	I agree. I'd like to see more body types, at the very least tone down how swoll Roderick is. His muscle size doesn't fit the rogue I want to create nor a mage for future characters. I would love to see more body type for the female character as well (can't remember her name offhand). P.S Is it just me or did this most recent update seem to make both the characters more cartoony then previous builds?

I wouldn't want to see his frame changed. Adding additional body types, sure (although I have serious doubts that's going to happen because all the armor sets seem to be built with a particular body size in mind rather than conforming dynamically). No skinny warriors, please.
