I always seem to associate Warhammer and other avatars with "outsiders" who have given up on Bioware.

If I see one of those rare people with a Jade Empire or NWN avatar (besides the chicken), I find that often times I'll listen to them more often simply because the implication is that they've been around for quite a while, often going back to the BioBoards days.


Good to know. I'll be changing my hanar to a Jade Empire avatar right away. ;)


And I know what you mean with Warhammer avatars. Especially those with Orc or Goblin avatars are often people who no longer respect BioWare. My friend Seboist is a good example, isn't that right Seb? ;)


I'm still trying to get used to Seboist using a Boyz. In my mind he'll always be TIM. :lol:

He might have been. When I was still visiting the Cerberus thread from time to time he was TIM, though.

I miss that thread. It was interesting.

Seibost, go back to TIM.
Or use a Speehs Mehreeen avatar. Can't go wrong with a Spehs Mehreen. There's nothing more badass than a Spehss Mehreen.


And speaking of avatar changes. I have pondered for the whole 5 mionutes on wether I should change mine or not. But I decided not to. I mean, just look at that regal face, that striking pose. Not even the avatar of the God-Emperor cold match such majesty.

No way, I don't want to be reminded of that atrocious abomination every time I look at my avatar.

I feel the urge to use an Orc avatar. The boyz are just way too awesome. I'd also feel more in league with my mate Seb.

Orks are xenos. Love of xenos are extra-heretical.

I personaly don't like orcs at all. They are supposed to be comedy-relief, but given they rip women and children to pieces, I'm not laughing.

I wasn't talking about Orks, I was talking about Orcs. Big difference. ;)

also, I'm the Heretic Hanar. You assume I give a damn about heresy. That's cute.

Orcs (and Orks) are awesome. Warboss Grimgor is the single most awesome Warhammer character ever.

Hm I don't associate characters with avatars as much but I do feel a transfer of feeling XD Also the avatars kind of change the attitude of a message for me somewhat, but mostly my own... cause it makes me think "oh now I'm just a enigmatic symbol, I'm inexpressive" or "ohh now I look badass, I feel badass"

This is my first time using a custom one. But I was fine with my previous Neverwinter Nights one, so I'm not sure I'm gonna stick with custom avies. I just hate that NWN ones get "squished" into a square.
I do prefer unique avatars though.
I like when people use DAO avatars the best, cause often it makes me curious to see and know about their character, so sometimes I click their profiles :P (and sometimes it's not public and I go :( ) I think DA2 avatars have horrible lighting though.

I feel Miranda avatars and the messages people write with it reflect my feelings for Miranda... sometimes I love her, others I hate her, it happens with messages too that are either supportive or dripping with venomous sarcasm. I guess I'm bipolar for Miranda.
Everything someone says with a TIM avatar sounds cooler.
And when there's one of the default Garrus avatars the temperature in my room goes up and I get distracted. The custom ones not as much, maybe cause I'm just picky with fanart.
