Why should elven females have male shoulders? Or for that matter, why flat-chested and with narrow hips?Eorion_Moonwing wrote...
Hmm..all females have large breasts (HUGE in the case of elven female) , full, small mouth and wide hips. All males have broad holders. This is definitely not so different in the shape department. Elven female should be flat chested and her hips should be narrow as well as male shoulders. At least elven ears are horse-like (like they were on the sithe or alfs-not Lotro elves) , and they have narrow, long faces with exotic eyes and nose.
DAO elves were humans with the pointy ears-and fans do not helped it making round faced, small eared, snub-nosed- "little human girls".
Just because the thing that were written under concept states- "Explore different standards of beauty", but instead we have one, human standard of attractiveness.SirOccam wrote...

Don't get me wrong, I actually wouldn't mind a not-overwhelmingly-endowed female model, but I'm just wondering why elven females "should" be like that. I agree that they should be distinct from humans, but that seems like a bit much.

Jesus christ, your belief doesn't make it fact. Look at all the top fighters in the world, no, not those brawlers at UFC but those real Martial Arts masters(even in the united states), they don't even remotely look built like tanks or bodybuilders.kayrob wrote...
Just to clarify, I don't think "warrior" build vs "rogue" build means that one is a better fighter than the other. But I do believe that genetics does shape how they fight. In DA I think a warrior should look like a tank: a bigger, solid, intimidating figure that is first in the fight and can equally protect the other party members while dealing some serious damage.
First, i know him, you don't. So don't question me if im wrong.kayrob wrote...

As a male who plays mostly female characters, i figure if i have to watch ass wiggle in my face for hours on end it might as well be attractive female ass, i like the looks of the different races. I like it, each race seems to have a certain sexuality about them, i especially like how they made the dwarven females look less stocky, less of a boobs attached to the standard dwarven physiology to a slimmer version all thier own. I have to say that i really like it, now if they will go the extra step and make each person just a bit individual, more in depth than the same body with a different face, i will even be happier.

You sir, think exactly as i do!
If were forced to stare at an ass, it may as well be female:devil:
EDIT: In fact, im gonna make that my sig

This stigma that "you must be HUGE like a bodybuilder to be a warrior" is utter and complete bull****.First, i know him, you don't. So don't question me if im wrong.kayrob wrote...

Secondly, i asked you to research what an ectomorph is but apparantly you're too lazy to research it because you don't want to be proven wrong. An ectomorph is someone who is skinny, narrow shoulders, thin and has a hard time puttng on weight.
Thirdly, people who are "genetically inclined" for bodybuilding are [i]already[i] born with wide shoulders, hard muscles and a solid muscle structure, my friend, before training, did not look like this and became that muscular through years of training and sheer hard work.
He may not be a pure ectomorph but a mix between the two, someone like me who is an ecto-mesomorph.
Last but not least, no offence but i know why people like you never make it that far(i doubt you're even fit), its because you believe too much in what genetics you were born with, rather than making the best with what you have and striving to succeed, you decide to give up "cuz you aint born with it". Thats the attitude of a failure and a loser, which im sad to say makes up of ALOT of people.
Nah. You'll only read what you want to read no matter what I say.Or do me a favour, go look up this guy called Ade Rai, i have his before pic(but i cant find it) and you wouldn't even believe thats him 15 years ago before he started because he doesn't even look like he has the genetics to become a bodybuilder.
Self ownage i guess, so you basically agree with me despite your arguments and implications that if you dont got the genetics, you aren't meant for the sport or role. Good job on arguing like a broken record by the way. And by the way, "success" is subjective. I can simply label you "succesful" when observing you picking up a piece of paper.kayrob wrote...

Kalf, would you do me a favour and read myKalfear wrote...
Im a huge fight fan and let me tell you, when skills at the same level, the bigger guy wins 99% of the time!
And as Em23 posted, a big guy can take down a smaller skilled guy with size alone!
Anyone that watches MMA knows this. The bigger they are, the harder they hit, trained or not.
BJ
Penn is the most advanced LW fighter in the world today (for my money
anyways) but againts opponents 50 lbs heavier and more, Id be very hard
pressed to take BJ as a favorite to win any MMA fight unless hes
fighting some super green nobody with almost zero practical training!
Size
does matter and if your being told it doesnt, chance are your talking
to a smaller person.

You keep saying this but never substantiate what you mean or offer a single shred of proof of evidence. If you can train to be a warrior, you can train to be a rogue. And by the way, grow up. Theres no "rogue class" in real life, so it doesn't matter what your build is or how you train.KLUME777 wrote...
No, if i trained enough, i have no doubt i would be an excellent warrior. However, if i trained the same amount to be a rogue, i would be a better rogue than warrior due to my natural genetic build.

Kalf, would you do me a favour and read my
posts properly? I never said size wasn't an advantage, i just said you
don't need to be BIG like a bodybuilder to be a fighter. Yes, size DOES
help against another smaller fighter but only if you have the skills to
fight.
I have seen with my own eyes 5'6 muay thai combatants in
thailand(140lbs) took out american bodybuilders who weighed 260lbs on
steroids rather easily, size alone don't dictate the outcome of a fight.

Do you seriously think any single warrior with a sword in the medival ages was as large and built as Conan the Barbarian?(Arnold Schwarzenegger) Let me tell you the answer : No.KLUME777 wrote...
And as i said, your charact is an abosulete master with the best traits, so he/she will be skilled and big as a warrior. And most of the time, warriors in DAO are tanks with swords, not unarmed Thai martial artists.
