Forgot about A Dance with Rogues.

 

Human Female ending for DA:O wasn't that good for me. I come from a country where (until just very recently) had the royal heir problem, and I can just see it happening in Ferelden in a few years. That, and I liked the other guy... Bioware/Obsidian needs to start thinking about making pretty faces for boys as an option. I'm not asking everyone in the game to look like a Square-Enix character, but they all seem to have open pores or jaws that can substitute as a nutcracker. I guess the elf from DA2 was a bit Square-ish, but his face structure was way off balance. 

 

I'm not even going to discuss NWN2's faces. In the world of uglies, that game took the cake. I'm not sure who came up with Gann's face morph, but isn't he supposed to be so pretty they threw him in jail? Weren't Casavir and Bishop supposed to be handsome? I'm still waiting for the handsome Casavir to appear.

You need Xaltar's head pack.

There's Sex and the Single Adventuress, which is females only, but I've never played it, so I don't actually know if it'd work with a male. Probably not.

  

 

 

 

LOL!  No, definitely not.  Not only would it be a very strange male, but most of the gear doesn't even have male versions.

I mean marrying Alistair instead of Anora - i.e. a character you've been travelling with and that you know well vs. one you've practically just met (and Alistair not becoming king as a result).

 

But whatever. Not a big deal, and this is not the DAO forum anyway.

I use it, and I some other head packs, but I just can't make the male elf look like what I imagine to be an elf. I think the jaw's too wide for my taste.

I know what you're talking about, still didn't like it, partly because of heir issue. I married my human female to Rory instead. 

 

I personally find a male protagonist in games that I play to be a little more... removed from my own narrative. It's a bit like the difference between 3rd person and 1st person. When it's a party module like SoZ, I don't mind it either way (my party leader's a male), but when it's a solo campaign like OC/MOTB, I find the POV to have a little more weight in the story-telling. 

 

I once played as Gann in MoTB, romanced Safiya. That was... weird. But it did allow me to think about Gann's personality more so than me just playing my character. I did recruit Gann in that playthrough, giving Anya's dreamscape a very Gann-prolific scene. Since the dude wasn't me, I was free to play outside my usual alignment as well. Sometimes playing another gender just gives you freedom to "not be yourself". Or maybe it's just me?

Compared to the hideous half-elf heads in the game, and the weird-looking elf heads, Casavir was George Freaking Clooney. And Gann looks like Brad Pitt compared to the average hagspawn.

 

I have the opposite problem - I see too many young and pretty faces in games like this, with not nearly enough older faces. And it seems every man is six-foot tall with an impressive physique, while almost every woman has a wasp-like waist and a huge bust. I'd like to see more fat, old, and ugly options, if only for NPCs.

 

And would a few faces with scars or open sores be too much to ask for? It seems even the poorest beggars in the Realms have access to free health care. A few missing limb options wouldn't go astray either.

I agree with DannI. It´s like the old silly show called ... with the hoffner you know "always looking for a freedom" with all the beach beautys that "represents" 85 % of the ordinary americans... lol... it´s not even funny anymore with all these "female" males with "beauty" faces and bodys like rambo but without any dirt or edge ugh. Gimme some normal brutes like sloth from the gooneys...  ehe. Lets get back to the good old monkey male rampage type like guys with dirty beards and not shaved legs!

Well, vanilla NWN2 was certainly not Baywatch, I'd say that much.

The female versions of heavy armour certainly look like they were designed for Pamela Anderson.

 

It's no wonder Sidney Natale was forced to become a wizard. With the tiny little waists built into NWN2 female armour, soft robes were all she could fit into. Although I suppose the skillful use of a corset could have squished everything upwards to fill the ridiculously large bust regions.

Just to be sure, are you referring to the first and second of these armours (full plate)?

Those are the ones. Any small-breasted women wearing such armour must ring like a bell or a gong when a sling bullet bounces off the empty space up front.

 

The chainmail/shirt variants are also impressively endowed. At least the game didn't resort to the chainmail bikini.

My elf's chest size seemed to grow whenever she donned an armour. I know it's magical armour, but still... 

 

But, in the end, it just shows the game devs are mostly men and that these games have a male audience in mind. Either that or they have different definitions of skinny. I recall Khelgar telling Elanee to eat more because she's stick thin, but she looks like a buxom plus-size model in comparison to me, which either makes me a pre-adolescent boy or Khelgar needs to keep his mouth shut. 

 

I thought for a few years that Sydney was a male. How wrong I was...
