### Suggestion: While Respecting Diversity, Enhance Character Model Aesthetics and Body Customization Depth in *Divinity*
Dear Larian Studios developers and fellow Divinity series players,
The recent *Divinity* trailer has me very excited about the game's art style. Larian has always prioritized character diversity and inclusivity, which is truly commendable. At the same time, I hope that—while fully respecting diversity—we can further improve the overall aesthetic appeal of character models, allowing more players to experience visual pleasure and deeper immersion.
#### Core Suggestion: Pursue More Refined Appearances and Body Designs Aligned with Mainstream Aesthetics
- **Default Model Optimization**: While preserving racial characteristics and diversity, make the default appearances and bodies of major companions, romanceable characters, and key NPCs more attractive. Examples include:
- More refined facial proportions and expressive, charming facial features.
- Body types that better align with mainstream aesthetic preferences (e.g., more pronounced waist-to-hip ratios, balanced muscle lines, etc.).
- Clothing and armor designs that, beyond practicality, appropriately accentuate character appeal.
- **Advanced Body Customization System**: Give players greater freedom to shape their ideal character appearances:
- Independent sliders for adjusting the size and proportions of key areas such as breasts, hips, waist, and muscle mass.
- Optional detailed genital customization (size, shape, etc.), with the choice to display them only in relevant scenes.
- Multiple preset body templates (ranging from slender to curvaceous, petite to muscular) for quick selection, while retaining fine-grained slider adjustments.
These customization options can integrate seamlessly with the existing character creation system and support saving multiple presets, greatly enhancing player attachment and replay motivation.
#### Balancing Diversity and Aesthetics
- Diversity must never be sacrificed: Retain the wide range of skin tones, body types, ages, and facial features already available.
- Aesthetic improvements should focus only on “default presentations” and popular preferences, without forcing all characters into a single standard.
- All customization features can be toggled on/off, ensuring respect for different players’ comfort levels and preferences.
#### Rating and Implementation Suggestions
- Genital customization options can be placed in an optional “adult appearance pack” or separate DLC, remaining compatible with the base game to avoid impacting the main title’s rating.
- Draw inspiration from the mature yet elegant approaches in games like *Cyberpunk 2077* and the *Dragon Age* series.
Larian team, your expertise in character design is undeniable—BG3’s characters are already outstanding. If you can refine visual appeal and customization depth while maintaining inclusivity, *Divinity* will surely become the perfect fantasy world in even more players’ hearts!
Everyone is welcome to discuss rationally:
- What aesthetic aspects of character models do you think need the most improvement?
- How much depth are you hoping for in body and genital customization?
- How can we better balance diversity with mainstream aesthetics?
Looking forward to your thoughts—let’s make *Divinity* even more beautiful together!
