Bit of a request and a bit semi-ranty I guess..
I'd want a more curvy body option for women and maybe a skinny one for men ( the default one for men is not skinny lol, it's still quite muscular/ athletic ).
People always act so weird about it tho if you ask for curvier bodies for women ( because for some reason it's the ONLY body type in existence viewed as sexual??? It's idiotic. )...
Same if you ask for more feminine attire people act like you're asking for literal Tera Online armor, which I've done before elsewhere and that's the reaction I got and funnily enough in Act 3 there actually is stuff that I asked for.
But I get so bored of like every woman in every game ever made nowadays being skinny with '' inoffensive '' curves, sorta like the typical Victoria Secret model body type still conventionally attractive but not much meat to them.
Like obviously the default body for women in this game is still conventionally attractive, and I'd argue it fits more into the typical beauty standards than more curvaceous bodies do.
But it's an '' inoffensive '' beauty standard where there's nothing '' overtly feminine sticking out '' for people to point and act weird about.
I am in favor of fat bodies too btw I just want more options in general and preferably sliders.
But imo when I imagine Sorcerers and other magic users I imagine mine as more curvaceous, while i imagine my Rogues and such more skinny etc.
And I mainly prefer to play as spellcasters.
And imo I am not super ultra into DnD so I dunno how physical magic is in the setting, but it's kinda weird too to see men who look like they spend more time at the gym and doing cardio while following a strict schedule for eating and sleeping than in the library for Wizards and such lol.
But yeah it feels like Larian defaulted to the two most inoffensive body types that we just see over and over again and that are kinda dull imo.
Skinny woman with no overt curves, muscular/ athletic guy and then insane steroid mountain bodybuilders.
Like I know the bodybuilder types were cheered on but they were the most predictable and generic additions imho.
ESPECIALLY when it comes to womens bodies they're a lot more varied even if we discount weight and level of athleticism but uh it feels like every woman in every game shares the '' same genetics '' I dunno how else to explain or how to put it.
Even Japanese games do it better and have more variety than Western games and that's saying something, I wouldn't say they're amazing at it either.
