*gatecrashes Solas thread for the third time*
I'm sad to report.. it has begun. First ever Solas romance off to a wonderful start...
...
Spoiler
I'm more used to him just being a good friend/adviser type for my Inquisitors so this is a little strange.
I like to think my Inquisitor is just lazy... helps me deal with the slower run-speeds haha
She's jogging, you know. She has to conserve energy for the upcoming battles .. or something?
To be fair, the hands in DAI are much better than DAO where they barely looked like human hands (too much space between the fingers usually) or DA2 where they tried to get overly detailed with the lines on the hands.
Such fine detail like hand animation must take quite a lot of resources to create, plus the necessity to create individual bones (a 'scaffolding' every model has in order to actually be animate... able 
. Even hair in 3D games have such 'bones' xD).
I assume however that bone number and overall, low-poly (and simplistic texture) of body models - especially compared to heads - stems from the fact that they've had to save space and computing power in order for the game to run on last-gen consoles. Hopefully we'll see more detailed bodies, hair and animation in DA4 :3
Yeah, it's based on male/female walk animations being different. I always think the male one just looks ridiculous anyway. Hopefully they'll cut this out next game by not bothering with gender-separated walks.
They may not make the animation as overtly manly/womanly, but the truth is that females do have a different walk cycle compared to males. There are differences in anatomy, especially the hip area (as well as generally more flexible/curvier spine, with one additional vertebrae curved compared to males), which affects how we walk to some extent.
I haven't paid attention to male IQs as much, but yeah, there's a certain manliness the female IQ walk. Also it looks like their legs are dragging too far in front of their torso.
...They mostly walk like they're wearing full diapers 
It's even more noticeable in females, because differences in anatomy/shapes/height between body models seems to deform the model utilizing the animation not specifically designed for it. Which is also why female IQs also noticeably hunch when they walk.
I didn't realize how slow the inky was, both male and female, even running, until I played Elder Scrolls Online. I feel like it's a sped-up record compared to the movement in DAI.
I think it actually stems from the fact that compared to ESO animations in DAI likely have more animation frames in the cycle, hence it may appear to be slower. ESO is MMO after all, they have to even more conservative when it comes to how much resources can be spent on animation in a world that is far bigger as well as more unpredictable.
... Well, that, and we can actually SPRINT in ESO. I miss that in DAI, just like I miss DAIs 'sonar' in ESO - I can't help to click V while I'm playing it and wondering why the hell it doesn't do anything

Oh well for sure. I'm not complaining. I hate the way my wood elf looks and I can't even change it. lol. I'd take the higher resolution over faster walking speed. It just felt really weird after playing ESO for a solid month and then picking up DAI again. Doing that is clunky in general though, since you get used to the way you open menus, where inventory is, buying/selling/looting...

Haha, if you think it's confusing on consoles, you bet it's even more confusing on PC - especially with all the re-bound keys and custom commands for my add-ons in ESO
And so..someone reported my art post last night. I find this very silly since some of you posted way worse after I left for bed.
Edit: I have also posted way worse in the past.

Whaaat?! 
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that.

So that's why the female Inquisitors hunch over! I always sit here thinking, omg stand up straight woman!

Don't feel bad! I think a mod came in and went on a clean-up spree. I know I got a warning, and a few other posts were deleted as well.

Oh..it's nice to know I wasn't singled out. :-P
Thank you, Sunny!

Yeah I don't get why someone would report you for that. Everyone is very good about using spoiler tags and marking things nsfw and such. I mean, that's the whole point of putting things under the tags and marking them so people who might be bothered by them don't have to see them, right?
I don't understand people!

I don't even understand why the mods care. We've remained mostly on topic .. mostly. And things are usually hidden under tags.
I don't think anyone reported anything. I think this is fallout from the initial stuff. The mod lurks now and the reporter singled out a few people they likely claimed 'post NSFW stuff all the time' so the mods pop on and then clean house of whatever else is here.
Whatevs. terms of service is terms of service.

Yeah. I just collect my warnings and deleted posts like they're rare Gwent cards and just go about my business now. It's actually sort of amusing what stays and what goes sometimes.
I'm not going to stop sharing art just because it has some boobies or arse. It's art..look at Michelangelo's David. Yes..I am comparing Solas art to a masterpiece. :-P
Share your lil' heart out. The art posts Sunny and you do are one of the reasons I lurk the thread.

The mods here are just...I don't even know. There's no rhyme or reason to what they keep and what they delete. There's no equality or standards, no one ever "looks into it", it's just burn it down and salt the earth, and the only people you use to be able to trust to figure things out, like Fernando or Allen, wouldn't touch the BSN with a 44 1/2 foot pole.
I think, personally, the mods hide behind the "mod01" or "mod04" because they clearly have personal opinions on some of the people here and other areas of the boards and aren't afraid to use their own like or dislike of a person in regards to how closely those people are followed by a mod. I swear one of them follows me around just hoping I'll screw up.
Yeah methinks that as well. Some of the stuff that's been deleted on here...so arbitrary. Like Liz's stuff. She doesn't draw porn. And has never posted it. So it's like...'wah?'when people have deleted stuff.
So that's why I say...post porn like nobody's watching....WOOO!
Also didn't someone post some grotesque magister-d on here once(Sunny???) and did that ever get deleted?
EDIT: Back to Solas
In a high stakes Gwent tournament - who would win?
Geralt his most flowing of white locks of Rivia or Solas. Bald elf.
ORRR potentially an unknown dark horse contender.
If you don't know what Gwent is....look it up because I can't copy paste, but it's like magic the gathering but better and more awesome.

LOL, I don't think I've ever posted some magister-d here before (I do remember seeing some magister-d art so maybe I did? I don't remember xD) but I do remember sharing some really NSFW stuff. The funny thing is, it was the tamer NSFW stuff that got deleted and not the more explicit stuff so sometimes I get confused on what's okay to share and what's not.

That's a toughy. I feel like Solas would be a mean Gwent player with the way he cleans up in Wicked Grace. But at the same time Geralt, the most beautiful, sensitive man ever created,... spends his days collecting some really rare Gwent cards. And with all this traveling and card duels he would be a tough opponent for a beginner like Solas.

Hard to tell - plus, I'm not exactly sure if they can be directly compared, considering that Geralt's mad skillz (or absolute suckage) in gwent depend entirely on the player^^; and I don't think anything - story/lore-wise - has been established about Geralt's aptitude in this particular game.
I mean, my Geralt didn't absolutely SUCK, but wasn't great in it either - for some reason I couldn't find place in my heart for gwent (maybe I'll find it in another playthrough), probably because I was more focused on making him a smooth killing machine and spent more time searching for mats and alchemy ingredients/mutagens as well as testing perfect skill combo, instead of stripping people off their gold
What I find somewhat amusing is how they translated 'gwent' from Polish, though I kinda get why they did it. In Polish "gwint" means "screw" (like, the one you have on bolt), lol.
Ok it's canon that Geralt is an amazing Gwent player "LOOK TO HIM AS A GWENT AFCINADO"(actual line from the game) - Also My geralt was fantastic. Husting every merchant and small child from White Orchard to Skellige.
I think Solas would be pretty solid but I think Geralt would be tough to beat. Also I think Solas would get distracted when Geralt randomly took his shirt off to get pumped.

DID SOMEONE SAY "MAGISTER-D?"
The Gwent match of the century would not be between Geralt/Solas; but, imagine, if you will, Vivienne versus Yen. It would be the stuff of dreams.
Retour en haut
