I would like to see the female protagonist, and all female character models, to have realistic bodies. 

 

I almost feel like wishing that women are in charge of creating the female character models, for either NPCs or the protagonists, cause so many times when men do it, the male characters are realistically proportioned, whereas the female characters just come off as fetishized (or in bikini armour  )

 

Until Dawn, every male character had realistic bodies. And while Emily and Ashley do, it struck me with Sam and Jessica how oversized their asses were in comparison to the rest of their body. 

 

I get that people can have large asses in real life, but in Until Dawn both Sam and Jessica can be found in varying states of undress (Sam in a towel, and an option for Jessica to dress down to her underwear on a snowstorm plagued mountain in Canada), plus the way that the camera angles are positioned when you are controlling them, I think, shows that the creators deliberately chose to give Sam and Jessica large asses not to show that yes in the real world people can have large butts, but as another example of how it was titillating, and objectifying women. I don't really care if it was just another example of a horror cliche/trope the game loves shoved in Until Dawn, the game had enough without that.

 

So yes, I'd like to see a more equal and realistic body proportion for both male and female protagonists and NPCs. Stop giving juvenile game developers the opportunity to create and put in games their fetishized, unattainable, unrealistic, and harmful fantasies of female characters.

LiS did a very good job with its female characters.

I can see this, though i think a little adjusting would be nice. The adjustment being, 80% of the women's figures are like those in LiS (Life is Strange). The other 20% get randomized based on average. So it'd be from flat to like max D-cup breasts, Sasha Grey booty and Hollywood actress hip-waist ratio (none o[f] the ones i could think of had super narrow [waists]). The game decides during playthrough and every new load has different ratio's set. Could even have a "Building women…" timer screen for doing exactly that during intial load of the new game.

Funny you should bring up Life is Strange.  There are interviews out there with the developers for the game (All men I think)  talking about trying to sell this game to publishers and the only notes they would get back is stuff like make Chloe's boobs bigger. 

 

This is still a huge problem in this industry.

 

Edit:  Yes Pricefield is Life.

[Giant ambush beetle]

Life is strange, judging by the screenshots I've seen does indeed feature normal realistic looking protagonists, though realistic in a sense of skinny teens.

Realistic is a little situation-dependent here, while they perfectly fit into that game I do not think it would be realistic at all to have a space exploring, combat experienced butt kicking female soldier with the physique of an average teenager. 

[Lord Kiran]

That's a good example of what I was talking about. Those guys are prospective SEALs. They look fit. They'll likely get even more fit, but they aren't freakishly fit looking. The guys who are part of SEAL Team VI (the CT team) require a whole different level of fitness, particularly in upper body strength, because of the ridiculous requirements of their job.

N7s are clearly inspired by SEAL Team VI, Delta Force, the SAS, etc... The best of the best. They should be ME3 Sheploo fit, not ME1 fit. It isn't even about being "cut" or defined, though they likely are. It's about not having skinny arms. FemShep couldn't even lift the Revenant LMG with those arms, let alone fire it.

if it helps, you can head canon it as her just being an especially gifted biotic where applicable.

[Heimdall]

She can kill people faster than anyone in the game bar a charged Widowmaker headshot or point-blank Reaper headshot, has functional invincibility every 7 or 8 seconds with her shields (and can give them to teammates) that buff her damage, and is able to shut down an entire team with her ultimate. Her only flaws are her lack of health in comparison to other tanks and her poor mobility.

You are terrible at Overwatch if you think Zarya is a bad character.

Or bad at Zarya anyway.

I'm incompetent with Zarya, both playing and fighting a good Zarya player, give me Tracer or D.Va though...

Speaking of, how would people feel about highly mobile anti-personnel mechs driven by tiny Korean girls in Andromeda?

Sounds good as long as the Korean girl in question is hot, of legal age and romanceable

 

It worked quite well with the Japanese actress in Pacific Rim:

5. We ran out of things to discuss six months ago and are officially spiralling the drain.

We were out of things to discuss the day after the Andromeda board went live. That was just about a year ago.

Does anyone else see an N7 badge slapped on her chest?  I'm totally going to make her my next Shepard. Better get this loaded on the tablet…

I was better with her in the beta, I don't know if they changed Zarya some time after launch or if my ability to play her just deteriorated, but I'm not nearly as good with her now. I'm excellent with Tracer though.

Tey Black Canary has poifect musk Ls.

not bad at all.

[Creator Limbs]

Some body shapes really are unrealistic.

 

Exhibit A:

 

Exhibit 2:

 

I don't know how these things happen. Life is a joke.

[Felya87]

The most important thing for the female body model: no noodle arms! I cringe every time I have to see Shep's stick arms. Thank the ancestors and the stone for the hoodie. I'd prefer the chance to decide between various body models, if not the chance to personalyze the body. But at least no noodle arms!!!

I prefer to consider the idea that Mass Effect, and indeed BioWare games in general, tend to lean more towards a somewhat cartoonish aesthetic.

[MsKlaussen]

I'm still good right here. Don't need to be any bigger than that.
