QFT!

I agree, I'd rather have in-depth personalities, dialogue, and voice acting than visuals. Heck I still play Daggerfall on the DOSBOX and like it more than most modern games cause its got more life to it.

Id rather have in-depth personalities, dialogues, voice acting, choices AND visuals ... the visuals doesnt have to suffer ... its a part of the whole, not opposite :-)

Absolutely.  In fantasies, we don't have to make compromises.

Good point.

Ugly people ruin my escapism.

You mean intelligence and beauty/prettiness come apart???

No, it doesn't come apart. But what is desire are romance options simply for sex appeal, meaning they want sex instead of depth.

well I mean how deep can you possibly get when you aren't talking to a real person.  Just let it be fast, easy, and fun.  Of course sex appeal needs to be in there.

You wanna incest around with bethany brah?

Of course  Of all the things to focus on, a fictional character's sister's pixelated breasts lies at the top of my list of priorities

I feel like I am from a different planet or something... How can anyone complain about the looks of any Bioware creations? Last time I looked most women out there reminded me of the brood mother, albeit they did not move as elegantly as her. And the men are no better, except I mind them a lot less.

So if a particular character doesn't just knock you out, they are still highly acceptable in my opinion.

You've said in the past the reason why you guys market your games this way, and I understand it, but always adhering to a male protagonist as the "face" of your games and using female characters pretty much as eye candy only perpetuates this atmosphere.

No, that's not what perpetuates "this atmosphere". The "atmosphere" is what it is because most gamers are men, and most men like our women hot. It's a simple as that. Bioware is just marketing to its audience.

You're really underselling your fellow men here. There's more to the male psyche than just libido.

What is the rest, pray?

Maybe its just me and my mates but we like to read, dicuss favourite philosophical idealogies (I like Nietzschean), and express ourselves.....maybe its cause I'm an arts minor.....but there is more to me than libido.

Aah... Will to power being my favorite what are your thoughts on its connection to utilaterian principles? Does it oppose or accept?

There are 3 major parts to the human psyche. Physical, emotional, and intellectual. In men the physical part is ridiculously easy to hit. Just slap a pair of ****** on top of a long pair of legs and you're done. That's not to say that you shouldn't try to make a character that will appeal to emotions and intelligence, but why not take the easy lay-up and make her attractive as well?

not to mention this is a GAME, fantasy world, its a fantasy for people to get OUT of "real" life and ENJOY it

Hah. Please, I know it's off-topic, but can this thread be Nietzschechat from now on? It'd be a lot better than what it is right now.

NO NO AND NO. Nowhere did anyone say that they should be shallow and stupid. We just want them to be hot. If they can make them deep and intelligent on top of that, all the better.

Neuroscience fail.  But that's another story.  Suffice to say that the differences between genders, while statistically significant, is less than difference within genders.

Women like physical attractiveness, intelligence, and emotional warmth.  Men like the same things in their relationships.  Shocking, really.

Most likely a Morrigan look alike, except for the whole glaring eyes, and this chick appears to be wearing a shirt.....AWWW!!! I know, im sad about that too.

Dear Mr. Gaider,

Since you are listening in... I would like say Just on the side-note:

Can we please NOT have the Yellow teeth??!! (YEESSH)

Or maybe a daily teethbrushing sidequest, a quicktime event game lol (I kid, I kid, I know QTEs make everything worse)

lol

Anyway teeth aren't pure white . They're actually yellow-ish

I bleech mine, and then mouthwash, and brush 3 times a day, they are white/clear.....prolly bad for them but meh, thats what they made dentures for

my teeth are yellowish, from their structure, if you would break them in half they would be yellowish inside too, they are clean, it is just the basic color of them is not white, and thgere are many others like this too, it pisses me off if people think i am a smoker or similar, I blame the media and toothpaste commercials for showing unnaturaly white teeth for everyone, it is nearly like hair colorer but for your mouth

Exactly . Using a toupet does not mean that you're not bald , or using parfume does not mean that you  take a bath each day..

1. That woman isn't ugly. People are requesting a porn star. That's not realistic.

2. There's a difference between a game in a fantasy setting and your own personal fantasy tool. Not saying that's what you want, but there it is.

All I said was it was odd-- perhaps not even odd, really, but sadly typical.

I would say it is typical.  By my observation, it happens all the time "in real life," too.

He's saying, that would people have watched Alias if they had a "typical" overweight female cop, instead of beautiful Jennifer Garner?
