You do not become the hulk from lifting a 2HD sword. For some someone claiming to be knowledgeable did you even read the rest of the topic? We have no idea what those swords weigh.
You would bulk up based on how those 2H swords are depicted in the game. Unless they are magic swords, those swords would be heavy. Many are huge broad swords - distorted for the sake of game probably more so than would be practical in real life. They also have a strength requirement indicating that they aren't 'magically light' or anything. Not just swords are involved but huge mauls and axes. Have you seen the size of the heads on those 2h axes and mauls? They seem to be the size of 3/4 of the torso. It's bad ass no doubt but to think these things are light is just preposterous.
And where are you getting the bionic man from? I didn't mention anything about her lifting a damn car but a weapon. A weapon that she has been trained with for a while. The least you could do is actually read the one line you quoted where I mentioned physical fitness.
The quote I was referring to: "I don't agree about the bulking up like the incredible hulk. She'd be fit and would have some really buff arms. But she wouldn't be a beast. "
She'd be more than just 'fit' to be able to wield those 2H weapons as depicted in the game. When I think 'fit' I think of fitness models. My point is it wouldn't just be their arms that would 'bulk' up which is what you were implying in the quote above. Your whole back, legs, and shoulders would bulk up. Sure you can disagree, but swinging a 2H weapons is a compound movement not an isolation movement like doing a bicep curl or triceps pushdown.
And I already said she would need to be buffer but unless those swords are hundreds of pounds she would not look anywhere near the damn hulk. (Urgh I hate the twig arms on the normal female form)
They wouldn't needed to be hundreds of pounds. Go to they gym and look at the weights some body builder chicks throw around to gain size.
Of course her body would actually need to look fit. Females in DA aren't fit they're just skinny! But saying she'd look like a hulk is just...gah. I said her arms would be buffer but I also mentioned looking fit.
And I'm not saying she'd be a 'hulk.' I don't consider the male humans to have Conan hulk types. But their muscular physique on a woman would make a woman appear "bulky." Now if you think having a female look like one of the male physiques in the game is just being "fit" then we'll just agree to have a different view of what "fit" looks like for a woman. Things are relative - if you have a female toon looking 3/4 as 'fit' as one of the male characters I'd call that a "bulky" woman - not just fit.
Also looking like a dude? So...what being muscular makes a woman a man now?
I guess it's subjective. I, and I'd probably safe to say most men, do not find 'large' muscles on a woman that attractive. It makes them appear more manly and less feminine. Again I'm not talking about being 'cut' and 'fit' (eg fitness models which I find attractive) - I'm talking about a very muscular body - more on the side of female body builders. I'd argue that a 2H warrior in DA would look more like a female body builder (which still isn't huge relative to a man body builder) vs looking like one of the fitness models.
We actually might be agreeing in the end:) We'd both agree that the women depicted in the game, as they are now, are two skinny to be realistic warriors, although I like it that way - It's a fantasy game so I think it looks cool when some skinny hot chick throws around a war hammer that looks like it's the size of her whole body. It's just cool:)
Maybe what you see as "fit," many of us are thinking looks bulky. I guess we'd have to start posting some google images to clarify fit vs bulky.
Anyway, I din't want to come off as being arrogant, I just know that moving around heavy weights in a compound movement (like swinging a large maul) would do a lot more than just make your arms more bulky (yes I know you mentioned it would make you look fit as well - but this gets us back to what fit is... swinging that large maul would make your shoulders quite bulky but maybe you'd see that bulk as just looking fit.)
