I have to say that I think that the people complaining in this thread are insensitive and offensive to women that share similar body types as Bethany and the OP, to call them 'unrealistic' 'unpractical' 'cheap' 'degrading' etc is totally out of order.

Women as all people aren't the same they are different, why can't we accept these differences as they are without giving in to our own insecurities and then calling them wrong?


Wow, you're actually making a good point there.

Although I think that "unrealistic" and "unpractical" must be taken into the context of effectiveness in fighting, because face it, they definitely won't help when you're running so much.

And "cheap" and "degrading" are to be taken into context of having these much discussed big boobs mainly as a means of oversexualising and selling out.

If I see a woman with EE cup breasts who is happy with them I will not insult her. 
If I see her trying to fight with a sword I will laugh because her chest will be a huge hindrance

That's the problem. It's not just the boobs, it's the entire female model in the game which reeks of oversexualization
In fact I would be happy if Bioware is progressive enough to make a busty female character who is perfectly secure with her body and is strong in terms of both body and mind. But FemHawke is more Female Fashion Model then Female Warrior

Sometimes women look good.

Deal with it.

It should be one of the easiest things a person can deal with.

I think most people's main concern here is that there is no other body type (other than Flemeth who got her own model altogether).  If there is no other body type for the women in the game, then there is a problem because while there are Bethany's in the world, the world is not completely made of Bethany-types.

Why is this issue so hard for some people to comprehend?
Some people don't want their PC to have massive EE sized breasts with a tiny waist like Bethany because they seem impracticle and fanservicy, instead they'd rather they have medium sized boobs with a muscular/toned figure.

Not hard to comprehend.
Just WHY are they making big breasts sound so bad?
Why are they assuming its to target certain people?
WHy does it matter that much?
Its really the why..
I get it people want it....



Learn to read. It's Big Breasts plus size 0 waist and no muscle. She looks like something out of playboy and created solely for the purpose of ogling by the males (immature boys). She's no warrior, she's a wench!
Good lord man! We wanted Joan of Arc but are getting Red Sonja instead


So, a woman with medium size boobs is a wench, just because her size is medium or big? Hahahahahah! I've heard stupid things but this is too much...

There's look good and there's Let's make her a busty hot wench so that teen boys can drool all over her and stuff
Women with breasts THAT big can't be so thin. If they are then... ouch!

Medium size boobs? Have you seen the pics? Again, the thin waist and no muscle COMBINED with the huge boobs makes it ridiculous. Also, it's really sad if all the women in the game have the Bethany model, I'll have to control my laughter

Your assuming intentions here...

Plus, from where I see it, her armor/clothes/outfit seems to have a girdle-like quality to it (that doesn't explain the exposed chest, which is not good for fighting yadayadayada). And without different views on her character, we really have only a few pics to go off of; in my opinion they are not that ginormous. Another possibility is that Varric is describing this section with exaggeration so that everything (including character models) are exaggerated.

In other words, I think we are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I think the moderators have given up. It's just a matter of time before someone finds a new place to kick the dead horse, and then the same people will get all worked up again. Might as well just let it be open.

You have it the other way around. The part were Varric is exaggerating Beth is wearing a mage robe. The part where she is in the pretty dress, is in fact the real part.

You mean people complaining about assumptions that are easily false?
If you mean that...then why that happens everyday on the internet.

I pretty much think all points have been made here, I quite like the character models but I am also aware that some may find them unrepresentative and exploitative, if you don't like the direction of the thread I would suggest that you don't post in it, as what points will be made without an argument to counter?.



Without counter argument those who have made arguments favouring the model have made all points I can see (limited perspective on my behalf), the only points that will then likely be made will be the 'wahey boobs!' variety and any wishes for a lock will then be granted anyway.

Thanks! I'll scratch that explaination...

Still, the armor/clothes/etc. looks to have a girdle like quality to it. Either way, we are still making assumptions on a game that is in progress and with little image reference to go off of (from what I've seen at least).

In my part of the world, one of the feminists latest stunts was to unsexualise boobs by swimming topless in the public swimming pool. Let's just say that was a failure. :o

Its true.
They really need to release more juicy and concrete info on the game.

Yeah, if a woman is upset because someone compares her to a pornstar she must be over sensitive, regardless of the connotations of that word.


Ridiculous, the person picked one instance within a context and you are widening that to global proportions.

I can say the following:  'Women that dress with knee high boots, large breasts and twirling on poles are probably strippers.'

You say, all women that wear knee high boots are being called strippers.  All women with large breasts are being called strippers.  all women that twirl from apole are strippers.  Thus I've just called all of the above strippers and they should be highly offended.
