Could you please dig up the post you made yesterday about how the LIs should be? Because that was effing brilliant, and I think whenever someone complains about a LI you should just repost that.


Totally.

Alright guys. So just so we all know, here is the megalist of all that is wrong with the LIs.

If you want to add anything, feel free to! I'm open to edit.

Here,
I'm going to compile it in an easy simple form so we can always
re-reference what is entirely wrong about these characters! Take note,
Developers. For we are fans, and we know better despite any lack of
training or professional experience in design & writing. We may not
get paid for our opinions but boy do we have a lot of them and you
HAVE to pay attention to make this game better!

Merrill : Looks
like a little girl, her nose is weird, too short, sounds childish,
inexperienced, virginal, god another elf, WTF booobz. Perhaps if you
made her taller, gave her the face of Helen Mirren, and completely did
away with her nose? Also - no mention of her sexual past what so ever,
but it doesn't hurt to make her sexually aggressive and seem to know
exactly what she is doing without giving any prior history lest it wound
my pride, which is important because I am awesome.

Isabela: Her
boobs are too big, she's too fat, she needs pants, rewrite her as a nun
because being a pirate nun would be awesome, less flirtation, less
****ty, less female. Give her no boobs, make sure she's thin as a stick
because she's a rogue. Take my word for it. Olive Oil was HAWT. There's a
reason why Popeye wanted to TAP THAT.

Fenris: Beiber
hair? White hair? Anime bishie? OMG, really? And he looks SO gay. And an
elf. And tattoos. Because I cannot stand comparing my appearance to a
fantasy character, therefore feel very inadequate when women online that
I don't know are busier fawning and appreciating a fantasy character as
opposed to MY favorite LI / ME who they SHOULD fawn over, I would
prefer you just get rid of him all together or replace him with an
unnattractive qunari.

Anders: Cannibalistic abomination
who wears a skirt and has a spirit inside him.... mmmm... okay. Because
ladies are still interested in him, I find him still threatening to my
favorite character and/or me and would recommend you make him look like a
sack of meat or at least a broodmother. That would be great.

Please.
Take these criticisms into account and be sure to make changes
accordingly. I know better because I am a fan, not because I know
anything about the future of the story or really much about these
characters at all.

I still know better because I am a fan.

kthnx kiss kiss xo xo

This can be a valid arguement.  I used to post alot at a 3D art site.  There were a lot of people posting nude fairies that looked like 12 year olds with wings.  Their excuse would be "But their fairies, their really a 1,000 years old".  Well that excuse didn't really fly with me.  Image what you can get away with in a fantasy game if that was your defense.

"Yes I totally raped what looks like a 10 year old girl, but it's really a 30 year old Half-Orc and they like it!".  No, I wouldn't buy that either.

On topic, I think Merrill look fine body wise as an elf.  I just have to get past her face or make her wear a full helmet.


Can be a valid argument sure. Merrills nowhere near that territory though. But I realise this is subjective. Hence the too bad for them bit.

Sometimes I think one of the main reasons Tali has SUCH a huge fanbase is because she is covered head to toe with clothes, so people simply cannot judge her and are allowed to make her look like whatever they have in mind.

That's what needs to be done to create a PERFECT female LI. Body condoms for all!


This will solve all these issues:

 It really just comes down to how we percieve a character to look. To some I suppose she looks young, does she to me? No. But that doesn't mean I can't change the opion of someone who has made up their mind long ago. Does she seem childish to me? No. But once again to others she does.

It's all perception.

Now I think the topic should probably be dropped before it gets more off topic/flame bait.

Not to get too off topic, but is it a good film? You got me curious, and I am wondering if I should take time time to borrow it off the internet rent it.

It's a superb film.

But you know. Sometimes I forget that all of the women LIs have to fit into this aptly described box of "Not too young, not too old, with just the right hair, skin, eyes, boob size, weight, personality-type, sexuality-type." compared to the guy LIs, lest they be torn down and criticized by EVERYONE.



Yeah.....But this girl looks of age.   Merril does not. There is a difference.

Also, Your argument about LI's is completely off. Let's look at ME for a moment where Jack is not the most perfect girl you describe by any means. Then you have Tali who is just a alien in a Mopp suit. Miranda, Ashley and Liara are the prettiest ones by far, all with different personalities, body sizes and looks. So obiviously they don't all have to fit into some standard outline as you seem to think. Just Sayin!


And look at how much CRAP Jack gets all the time. As well as Tali, who gets knocked around for being too viriginal and sweet. Miranda? I have heard SO MANY complaints about ass shots and being a total B*tch. Ashley? She's too religious and her lips are sooooooo weird. Liara? Her eye twitches and what is with her voice its too soft? She is so pathetic!

Obviously, you are not the expert when it comes to writing female LIs. But because your opinion is important and tearing down these characters based on their appearance and personality (Of which you have three screenshots and a single short story) means you know exactly what you are talking about and its important to tear them down because they don't meet your perfect female fantasy of what looks right.

Just sayin.

I am sick of these circled critiques.


Well I could say I'm sick of people like you always jumping to the extreme because someone says something " kinda not nice" about a character you like. Grow Up!  It seems to me you have some underlying problem with pretty characters as you just bashed all the pretty girls in your first paragraph. Seems to me to be a personal issue.

Also, I never said anything about being  an expert LI writer nor did insinuate it. Neither did I bash or tear down the character in question. I simply stated facts.  I also stated my opinion on some of those facts. None of which included "tearing down". So before you go and put words in my mouth and resort to childish mud slinging I suggest you go back and actually read my post thoroughly.  See this is why people like you(fanboys & fangirls) get no respect when it somes to your opinion. A person makes harmless statement and you blow it all out of proportion because you like the character. GTFOH!

BTW, Who the F*** are you?! The internet police?! People can come online and say whatever they want about whatever they want as long as it falls within the guidelines. If I had actually come in here and said Merrill looks retarded or something maybe then  you would have a point. Regardless I can still say that. Freedom of Speech and all that noise. You mention it being based on a few screen shots and a short story like because of that I am unable to say whatever I want. Sorry, the world doesn't work like that. That's like saying a person can't say a movie looks bad after I see a trailer or that a book doesn't look good because only reading the first few pages. Well, you don't have to swim across a sewage tank just to realize it's filled with sh** now do you?!

I believe you misunderstood the lady's first paragraph, sir.

"Merrill looks like a child" is not a fact. "Merrill is an elf", or "Merrill is 5 feet (or whatever) tall" are facts.
Must be the tenth time I tell people about subjectivity this week.

You know, freedom of speech exists until you end up hurting other people's freedom with it. I'd say your posts are fairly unnecessary, considering they add nothing to the discussion and this last one also sounded considerably rude.

People can talk about how she is an elf and she is actually a lot older because they live longer or that she is magical and all that, but it doesn't excuse the fact that she looks really young. Not saying that there is anything wrong with her as a character. I'm just saying that she doesn't quite make a lot of people feel completely at ease as being a LI. As for people saying you can't compare her to humans because she is an elf.......the bottom line is she still resembles a human. Minus the long ears she would resemble a human almost exactly. Ears = The only difference between Elves and Humans in most forms of media.


But see the devs created a really good solution for this potential problem.  It's called not romancing her.

I'm not completely at ease with people who spend time and energy picking apart the way female characters look.  I find it kind of creepy and misogynistic.  Why do you have a problem with people who are not you liking her?  And why do you believe that your perceptions of how old she appears are some kind of objective standard?


JESUS CHRIST!  Can you people read?! Reread my post!!!  Where did I say I have a problem with you liking her? I could care less about what you do or don't like. What I said was that people saying that she is magical and an elf doesn't exclude the fact that she looks young. We can sit here and go back and forth between subjective and objective views and standards all day, but its not going to change either person's opinion.  Some may view her as young while others may not. I think she does look young in the majority of her shots. In some she looks a little older. Overall she looks young. The end. Does it bother me that much? No! Will it bother others ....Of course! It already has. Simple. If you don''t like that other people share a different opinion than yours......too bad. That's the world. As far as the whole creepy & mysogynisic somment.......just......stop it!

I'm not bent out of shape. My life will go on after this. I am a little annoyed by people who "read" my posts and then decides to toss little smart ass comments about and make me seem like an "evil villain" who hates their favorite character. I just game my opinion on the matter. Simple as that. A few didn''t like it and decided to go a little  overboard. So I am setting the record straight.

Huh. That's sort of what you've been doing when describing a lot of LIs too. Actually, I was being sarcastic. You were being honest.

Saying Merrill looks like a child and that a romance with her would be perverted is not a fact, its an insult. Heck, anyone saying something I stated in the previously mentioned post would not be facts. They are insulting, and to a lot of people who are short, have huge breasts, curves, dark skin, are sexually promiscuous for fun, aren't interested in sex, innocent, naive, even look child like.... comments like "She's too childish to like, guh bioware u sux" is extremely sexist and insulting.

BTW, Who the F*** are you?! The internet police?! People can come online and say whatever they want about whatever they want as long as it falls within the guidelines.

And people have the freedom to call you on it if they feel insulted or pissed off.

If I had actually come in here and said Merrill looks retarded or something maybe then  you would have a point. Regardless I can still say that. Freedom of Speech and all that noise.

Awesome. We are both practicing freedom of speech.

Say what you will, but if its going to be insulting, smell sexist, or could be hurtful to others, I will say something.

Its one thing to write "Mmm. Merrill isn't my type" and another entirely to say "Merrill looks like a little girl, that's so WRONG". One is a fact, the other is an insult.

Count me in the mustache-twirling evil villain camp.

Merrill is ugly, and she *does* looks like a child. Or at least that has been my impression from the screenshots we've seen of her so far.

"I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC. Pedo Hawke, Why don't you have a seat over there?"

Well I would say you are right, if I actually said any of those things. I said that she looks young. Elves look like humans. People have a problem with her looking young. All facts. I never said any of the stuff you mention as fact. See it's easy to put words into people's mouth just for the sole point of trying to maintain or shoddy argument or seem superior in some way. That is until someone calls you on it.

Oh please, spare me! The worst part of that paragraph is me saying "Who the F*** are you?!"......really?! If anyone has their feelings hurt over that they should go get a hug. That person decided to call me out and start with the mud slinging so I responded. I didn't call them a bad name or say something derogatory.

Speaking of subjective points of view: I like her. The other random guy doesn't. Neither of us really care about each other's oppinons. However we both post on the forums and voice our thoughts, simply because they are PUBLIC forums.

Now, what i'm trying to say is, this is not a debate to be won with arguments and logical thinking. Wait what? Yes thats right. It's pretty much like 10 people trying to figure out what that abstract painting means. I think Merrill is pretty, you think she's way to young-looking and feel insecure about romancing her, the other dude think she is plain ugly in a golum with ****** kinnda way.

We're all right. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

That being said, I really dont get why some people try to hammer their point of view into other people, when this whole argument and flame war is subjective by defintion. Voice your oppinion, do it in a polite way without insulting or LALALALA IMA CANT HEARZ U!!

Oh, and this is not directed at you, personaly. I just felt the quote has the essence of my point of view in it.

Not evil villain camp, but you do come across as a jerk.

Regardless, I'm tired of this subject. It sucks too, because I've TRIED to hang around the Lady LI threads as much as I do the Male LI threads.

Whereas in Anders thread they discuss the implication of what he has become and who he will be, as well as Fenris' threads were people discuss possible background stories and Fenris role in the party, a majority of Isabela and Merrill's threads consists of posts about how ugly, unnattractive, unsexy, and unappealing they are.

Sure there are more interesting topics, but for the most part it is bogged down by insulting comments circling back to how ugly they are cuz OMG their appearance is SO IMPORTANT to their character!

Its downright annoying.

Saying Merrill looks like a child and that a romance with her would be perverted is not a fact, its an insult. Heck, anyone saying something I stated in the previously mentioned post would not be facts. They are insulting, and to a lot of people who are short, have huge breasts, curves, dark skin, are sexually promiscuous for fun, aren't interested in sex, innocent, naive, even look child like.... comments like "She's too childish to like, guh bioware u sux" is extremely sexist and insulting.

If I had actually come in here and said Merrill looks retarded or something maybe then  you would have a point. Regardless I can still say that. Freedom of Speech and all that noise. You mention it being based on a few screen shots and a short story like because of that I am unable to say whatever I want. Sorry, the world doesn't work like that. That's like saying a person can't say a movie looks bad after I see a trailer or that a book doesn't look good because only reading the first few pages. Well, you don't have to swim across a sewage tank just to realize it's filled with sh** now do you?!

Awesome. We are both practicing freedom of speech.

Say what you will, but if its going to be insulting, smell sexist, or could be hurtful to others, I will say something.

Its one thing to write "Mmm. Merrill isn't my type" and another entirely to say "Merrill looks like a little girl, that's so WRONG". One is a fact, the other is an insult.

OK.....LMFAO! I'm just going to say it. You all should kill yourselves. I never said that Merrill looks childish or anything even remotely close. I said she looked  really young.  You guys are the masters at putting words into people's mouth. SMH! I refuse to go back and forth any longer as you just proved my point yet again that fanboys and fangirls DO NOT actually read anything. They skim and then take action.

Edit: Before anyone tries to go crazy. I actually did say that I agree with the people saying that she looked more like a child. However my next post I said I think she looks really young. Big difference!

^ Good to know you've proven your point to yourself, because everyone else seems to feel opposite of this startling revelation of yours.
