Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

I'm pretty sure that's what happened Peach

I'm pretty sure it is too. And it's irritating as hell that they got away with something so incredibly lazy.

Those female models just look so ugh.

Does anyone know if Dukem Nukem 3D and DN: Manhatten Project are worth downloading?

Duke Nukem 3D is awesome. I remember playing that all the time when I was a kid.

Anyways, not only do female dwarve's faces turn me off but also their height. Seriously, who would want to do something that's small (besides NemeBro)?

Well, they aren't.

Torso is too long, shoulders are too broad, hips are too narrow, waist is too low (because of the elongated torso), legs are too short (for the same reason), arms appear awkwardly long (again, because of the elongated torso). It is literally as though someone took the base model for the male characters, slimmed the waist a bit, added a chest, and that's it.

And it doesn't work.

The women have breasts and "armor" that only covers about 10% of their bodies, so what's the problem? ahah

'sides, I don't know how anyone who likes Square Enix RPG's can comment on ridiculous appearances. SE wrote the book on idiotic looking video game characters. 😛

Actually, those are things that anyone who's spent any time studying human anatomy would notice. And life drawing classes are required for pretty any artistic discipline. Including game design and 3D modeling.

SE might have ridiculous costume designs half the time, but the characters are at least fairly accurate in proportions, even if boobs tend to run on the large side (or, in Lulu's case, are ridiculous).

Yeah, those female torsos are ****ed up.

And really, the torso is the biggest problem with the models. If they shortened the torso to the proper length, then most of the problems (except for the slender hips and broad shoulders) would instantly be fixed.

Tell that to Final Fantasy 'Everyones heads are as big as their torso's' 9.

The graphics on that one are intentionally more anime-based than realistic.

You have to learn anatomy before you can mess with it.

Pardon?

Final Fantasy IX? Since that's what he was refering to? The graphics are much closer to what you typically see in anime than anything approaching realism. It's intentionally very cartoony.

So you agree with what I said then. 313

I was referring more to the fact that, in the exact opposite fashion of DragonAge, everyone in Final Fantasy games looks like a woman.

Yes, I know what Final Fantasy IX is.

Only this is not true.

Okay you're right, Barret doesn't look like a woman. I guess it's just the people with hair.

Many of the male characters are somewhat effeminate.
