It's a submissive posture.

Seriously?  It's not even a character.  It's just art showing model proportions.  Who cares?

As for people going on about the slim/curvy female builds, it's not like the male bodies are any less idealized.  Unless you think it's common for all men to walk around at ~5% body fat (when the average is actually closer to 20).  Of all the things to complain about so far in DA2, this is a nonissue.

And this^^  Complaining about how the artist creates an unrealistitc and idealized feminine body is a little unfair.  They are doing the same exact thing with the male figures.  How many men do you know who look like that??

Concept art for video games isn't going to look like real people.  I don't want to play a character with narrow shoulders, and cellulite on ther arse.  I can do that in real life.

I think the concept art looks AWESOME.  *done beating dead horse*

Especially the female Qunari :wub: If they don't allow romance with one, I will be seriously angry. I will throw burning things at the BW HQ. -shakes fist-

EDIT: Seriously, though. Why is the human female the only one in the picture with an 'I am helpless' pose?

I'd guess the artist who made that picture did the pretty common thing, and simply traced a suitable picture(s) from a magazine to use as starting point for proportions, pose and such. That's why you have the invisible heels there -- odds are the original did have the women actually wearing high heels, and they didn't see point in extra effort that'd be reworking whole legs and more just for concept art drawing once these were omitted.

*tiptoes past Skadi, KoP, Uhl, and oki in the back room*

Soo... someone who knows about these things tell me what the PR value is in releasing art that is so rough?  I am guessing that they figure getting people talking about it is the main thing, whether it's positive buzz or not?

Oh, and uh, have an Alistair.

It is!  I love how excited Lya is and Alistair's like "Oh maker, help!" and Fergus's expression is priceless. like there's an ass-kicking just waiting if Alistair messes up.

I just wanted to requote that because it made me laugh so much, and I agree with the sentiment

Me too. I think it would be great thing if there were more realistic options for female body types...but... I probably wouldn't choose them.

This. I want a character with big boobs and butt because that's what I have and I want them to look good. Maybe once I would go for the realistic option, but in the end, I'm a vain girl and would choose the pin-up. I have failed my gender -hangs head in shame-

I could just Imagine how that Romance would play out. 

Hawk: "Come to my tent. "

"Sten like: No!"

Hawk: "Can i have kiss then? "

"Sten-like: Disgusting"

Hawk: "Well, this is Awkward."

Hawk is grabbed and carried off into the female Qunari's tent, to be bound and gagged.

In the qunari thread in DA2 section one of the writers said qunari simply don't treat sex as way to express affection/love, it's more of very regulated procreation affair disassociated from feelings. (they also did confirm that Sten was very much just messing with Morrigan when he was talking of that pry bar thing and whatnot)

So qunari romance would probably involve mostly long, silent stares at the player while the qunari wonders what the heck the player is on about.

Interesting.  I hope we learn more about how things really work in Par Vollen.  I just can't imagine that even the strongest cultural discipline erases natural biological feelings.  I mean, they're not human so maybe things don't tick the way we do, but I've read about cases where cults have tried to erase people's natural sense of pair bonding and child-parent attachment.  Down to not allowing little girls to have dolls because they get attached to them.  It doesn't work- the overrides kick in.

I guess maybe the Tal'Vashoth are evidence of the overrides.


Um... the only shot I have of Alistair and Sten together is this one where he's looking really bored by the epic Qunari- insect duel of Haven.

I think the bold part is important -- it should be taken into account that qunari aren't really bigger humans with horns, strictly speaking. That is, their instincts can also be different from ours rather than something they forcefully override. Just like not all species on earth form pairs and have strong attachment to their own offsprings.

It'd probably make it more interesting if played this way, i mean if just beause it'd shake things a bit from the usual "i may be wearing rubber alien suit but i'm still just another human underneath" approach.

That would be a-okay with me. I don't need long emotional romances all the time. I'd be interested to see what a Qunari romance would be like.

BTW, any of your photoshop masters want to add to my mutantstair collection with a "horny" version of Alistair? Because that would be like......

Hawt.

What kind of horns?    Seriously thinking of breaking out the tablet and doing this...   It may be a while though as my photoshop is on the other partion of my computer and that means rebooting.  But I will see what I can whip up..

And since I see not enough of it.... have an Alistair  hug.

I would totally hump your leg if you achieved this. Or give you a cookie factory. Or kidnap a Japanese scientist and force him to build an Alistair sex droid in your honor.

Long, curly mountain goat type horns would be my first choice. Think Valen from NWN HOTU. But any horns would do. It's Alistair, after all. He's a horny boy.

TY for the Ali-Hug!:wub:

An Alistair android eh... hmm... Oh jeez, nothing would ever get done, ever again!  It will probably be a photomanip, from a good screenshot... Ram horns... hm.... contemplating...  Will post when done.. again, it may be awhile.. as the kid is watching cartoons on the other monitor atm, and it requires the rom for it.. meh...  Also thinking of drawing Alistair as a dragon.. Well, at least transfering his personality to one, type ... thing... I think it can be done...  YES!  inspiration.... yay!

Swoony Alistair, because,, just because..

Wouldn't that pretty much rule out a Qunari "romance," though?  Especially the procreation part.  I mean, apparently we can't even assume that Qunari feel lust the same way a human does, let alone affection/ romance.

Wouldn't that be disappointing!  My Amell has a sad just thinking about it.  So do all the men with tongues lolling about the female Qunari.

Oh...let us know if you get your hands on that Japenese scientist. I am sure we would all make it worth your while to hang on to him long enough to make us all an Alistair sex droid...hmm..since my husband would certainly not appreciate such a thing, I wonder if could get one that can fold to fit in my purse...he's afraid to go in there.
