Not everyone has the time to be constantly making posts in this forum. There are plenty of other newbies who have made a single post over the last few days. It hasn't even been 24 hours yet.
If it quacks like a duck.
Ive seen this type plentifull and thus i wont give the OP the benefit of the doubt.
also if the first post you make without having participated at all is about some real world grievance that you want to shove onto this game then i am not exactly inclined to listen to what you have to say.
I seriously don't understand what he means by "softcore porn".
Softcore porn is known for having terrible plotlines. Just like Bioware RPGs.
Sex, particularly in the first game, was treated as a conquest.
So what, sex in many ways is a conquest. Its seen as that by many people.
Not all sex is built on relationships and honestly not all relationships are founded on love or simmilar things. And seriously you havent ever seen sex beeing treated as something to earn? Like it or not that very much is also a reality in this world.
Portraying that isnt sexist, it fits the world they were creating.
Its not a particulary compelling thing ´compared to story driven romance but then again they also had a far smaller budget back then.
No one seriously believes that they deliberately made elves ugly and overly sexual. This is not the kind of subversion we've seen from Larian.
Realy not? I mean Larian games had a skeleton with lipstick on it which in my opinion is exactly that thing.
I do agree that right now Original Sin 2 could use more attractive faces especialy for human characters, right now they basically did the reverse of Original Sin 1 where you could not make your character look anything else than a movie star (which given what that game was it actually fit the theme) with the NPCs even comment on that fact.
But that doesnt mean that its a bad thing to have such a striking differentiation in style for one character.
I for one am fairly sure the general aesthetic weirdness of the elves is done on purpose.
I dont think the designers just "forogt" to give them human proportions.
