Actually when I wear the Dragon armour from the Deluxe Addition Or any armour that covers the hands and bring it a more "beefy" look, seems to have no broken arms.., and its my third PT as a male elf, I just didint notice it in my second one

 

 

 

Edit here look: 

 

 

No Glitch cuz of armour:  

 

that's because that sort of armor hides the broken arms. It does limit what armor you can wear in game if you want to avoid being able to see the issue. but the problem is still there...just that those armors hide it better.

... I wonder what it is about that halla that makes Solas soooo happy to see it.

I heard patch five is out. Is there still no fix for this issue?

[LunaFancy]

Hahahaha! No. Does anyone actually still expect Bioware to fix this? They won't even acknowledge the issue. Hell, they won't even fix things they do acknowledge!

[Blue_Shayde]

I heard patch five is out. Is there still no fix for this issue?

Plus, we won't get any real news from the beta testers, as they have been locked into a NDA and can't talk about what they learn playing in patch 5. (aka, patch 5 is not officially out, only in beta testing)

(aka, patch 5 is not officially out, only in beta testing)

 

Nah? It is out? I downloaded yesterday. Although the only thing it added that it said/implied it would was storage and armor tinting. No auto-attack. No BE.

[LunaFancy]

It's out.   I suggest checking out the PC Community Concerns thread before updating though, it is not without issues.

 

It is without fixed elves though.

[Blue_Shayde]

ah shoot. That's what I get for never playing the game anymore. xD

Why oh why did I have to find this thread?! I thought that the male elf model looked a bit odd (my cousin pointed it out to me a while ago). At first, I didn't think much of it, but now it REALLY bothers me. There may be many things wrong with the male elf model, but the crooked, broken arm look is the one thing I can't get past. I'm fine with the narrow shoulders and the slightly large head (I don't mind my elf looking a bit childish, but I understand that others will feel different), but everybody can agree that the angle and animation of the arms is horrendous. Even the odd disproportional chest of male elves can be overlooked when looking at much frowned upon arm mechanics.
Creators above, ma halani! Help our poor elven Inquisitors! Not sure how well you could swing a sword or maneuver a staff with crooked, broken arms. Don't let the first walkers of Thedas suffer like this!
With another patch arriving, bringing about the Black Emporium, hopefully BioWare has heard enough to finally address this problem (probably not, but we can hope

I've given up on DAI and am playing modded Skyrim...

Here is my male elf...

[Murder Knife]

Is that Elfnan the Barbarian?

[Lord Surinen]

Given up?  My favorite Inquisitor so far has proved to be my guy Elf, actually.  I've loved every moment of his progress through the game, so that his story is just wonderful.  As I've said repeatedly, I could do with some re-working of how his arms hang against his sides.  But everything else works well, with how I think elvhen characters should be, should look, should move -- I love my Elf dude, to be honest.

Goodfor you. Like I have said previously, I have never experienced fractures. I do not know and to be honest I do not want to immerse-rp as elf with broken and glued arms. I would like them to have bodies like Solas but that is a side note

Just to keep things clear. Last patch did not fix elvhes:

[Norina]

Don't know if it's been posted before, but equipping and un-equipping the Mercenary Coat helps bend the arms outward. Combined with the Warden armour, the problem seems non-existent.

I'm trying Cheat Engine to get the armour early in game, preferably before Val Royeaux, to see how this goes.

Oh sweet Maker, those arms...Arms don't bend that way, Bioware! What the eff were they smoking when they designed the body for male elves? Just give us Solas's body model, and we will be happy, Bioware. For the love of all that is good and holy, they need to fix this problem now. It just screams laziness that they haven't at least made an effort to fix this yet. At worst, it seems like they just don't even care.

Solas's body model is identical to that of the male elf Inquisitor. The gear he has was designed to make him appear different (wider shoulders, NORMAL arms), although sometimes it can be observed (most of the time only slight clipping of the arms into the body), but in reality, both models are exactly the same. For both, it appears as though BoiWare only shrank down the human male character model. If they had been given an entirely new character model (or at least have the human model edited better to make the elves look normal), our poor elves wouldn't have to live with these disfiguring disabilities!

[Felya87]

The simple fact that they have to put on Solas clothes to hide the body model speak volumes...if the elf male body model wasn't ok for a companion, why should have been on for the Inquisitor???

The male elf looks equally impressive when armored, though:

 

 

And honestly.  I have absolutely no issue with the elf's build when only clothed, either.  I know that's not a sentiment shared by everyone, mind you.  But I am fine with my slender, lithe male elf:

 

 

The only issue that I see is the shape of the arms, mostly in the upper arms, in the way they hang against the body.  And THAT is totally an issue shared between Solas and the male elf Inquisitor, shrug.

I disagree. You can have the male elf impressive in armour only if you use specific pieces of armour to cover the arms, and is not so simple with the mage armour. And is quite annoyng having to choose certain pieces of armour just to not freak out looking at your own character. Is a temporary solution, not a rule to follow. It shouldn't be this way.

 

Believe me, I looked Solas quite a lot. He doesn't have broken arms. At least not so much that is noticeable like with the Inquisitor. His arms sometimes are too attached to the body, but I've noticed is a common bug on all the male bodyes (like, female body models seem to have start flipping the arms like birds would with wings, but males have arms too attached to the body) since I've noticed it on Bull too.

 

The jammies are atrocious. changing colour like you can with mods, beside being a solution only for pc players, so I and all the others console players can care less, help because colours and texture mitigate the problem, taking away the flatness of the beige color. But the result ist still of a childlike/almost teenager body, because the head seem so big in proportion with the shoulders. Expecially since all the elf you met don't have such skin tight outfit, "correcting" the model.

 

I almost laught when I look at my male Elf with Cassandra. And I don't want to, because I love the pairing.

And I disagree with this constant press to change up the entire elven frame to better fit someone's perception of what it means to have  a "more manly" look, and I'll continue to say so, as well.  I do think it boils down to personal preference.  But if it's bulk you're looking for, there are character models that fit that appeal.  I have no desire to play a Qunari Inquisitor, for instance -- it's just not for me, shrug.  I want my elves to be slender, lithe, lean, even waif-like ... I like it, is all.

 

Mind you, I get that it's a personal appeal.  My husband is lean as heck.  He struggles to gain weight, even, has had countless doctors insist he eat more when he actually eats like a dang horse.  But I defy anyone who questions his strength and determination, either.  He was deployed three separate times, regularly wearing body armor that weighed so much I couldn't even pick it up, and jumped in and out of up-armored vehicles like it was no big deal at all.  The man is tough as nails, protective as all get-out, and outright sexier than anyone I've ever known.  And he's never weighed more than 185 pounds since I've known him, it's just mind-boggling.

 

I would love it if the arms on the elf model were shaped better, yes.  But bulking them up?  Nah!  If I want a bulging chest on my guy character, I'll make a human body-builder type and be happy.  Or even a Qunari hulkster, hehe!  My elf is going to surprise the heck out of everyone, though, when they completely underestimate him.  And I'm going to be grinning up a storm the entire while.

Who talked about "bulking them up"? You are taking it as a personal thing. (and if you really like it, just look at your husband, and take a proportion: how is his head large, and how are his shoulder large in proprotion? Is like the male elf in any way? it have nothing to do with the bulk. Is mostly bone structure.) I have only talked about how shoulder and arms are badly made in male elves.

 

I like the thin frame too. I don't like the undeveloped feeling. I don't like looking at the proportion and having the feeling my character is the only freaky-like Elf in the entire game. I don't like to see convess arms.

Take a human character and Solas, Abelas, or every other male elf in the game (beside the Inquistor) the difference is there. Humans are bulk, but the elves are just right. Is only the Inquisitor who have a very strange aspect.

 

And no, I'm not going (at least for now) to play a male qunari. Or a dwarf. or a human. I like elves. And since I rarely play a male character at all, I like to have fun when I play one, and part of the fun is not cringe while playng, or becaming frustrated at seeing how little care have been put on a body model, since BioWare only use the "right proportions" (thin without being freaky. Really, send them a photo of your husband) on NPC.

I am not looking for more bulky, humans are already too much for my tastes. I just want the elves to have some shoulders at least, and some meat on their bones... well, and not broken arms. I love how my elf looks in the armor I made him:

 

[LostInReverie19]

Yeah, no one here is asking to beef up the male elven body model, just fix the proportions. They are freakish right now. I cringe every time I see my male elf in his stupid Skyhold pajamas. I downloaded a mod to change the texture of the PJs, but it is still awful.
