Shallow, adolescent viewpoint

[Thunderthyze]

<p>Could I just mention that although I don't particularly like Age of Conan, the female avatar models are far more to my liking than the stick insects SOE insists we should look at. You'd have thought that with their love of all things Hentai the Far East branch would have had the SOGA models go down this route too.</p><p><sigh></p>

...Well, at least the thread is aptly named. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" alt="" border="0" />

<p>LOL</p><p>original models FTW , at least for now. I can't stand the stick figure females of SOGA, I really can't. And I can't force everyone to play one of the races that don't look emaciated =( </p>

I <b><i>so</i></b> want the traditional "chainmail bikini" for my female fighters.  <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />What Antonia wears in the movie, the dark elf mage (think that's the one from Overlord's Post), the scantily clad fems in the LoN cards and on the site here and there...why can't we have those type of goodies for armour and clothes?Cleavage, dammit!

[Zabjade]

<span style="color: #00cc00;">I just had a scary thought Lucan in Antonia's outfit!That reminds me if an Ogre wears one of the pink formal wear clothes he should LOOK like he is wearing a dress and a female wearing a male suit should look like a male <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> just so RPers can have some fun. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </span>

I had cleavage in eq1. Especially on Dark Elves. Now I'm covered head to toe... I can't even get a skirt to show off my legs!!!

[Birna]

Lol, I would actually like to see dresses showing less leg and cleavage. I would also like my females to be able to wear regular pants and shirts. I hate having to dress them up in that standard dress in umpteen colours. I have a coiple of toons that only craft and harvest. I wish they could look like normal npcs. It's not very logical for them to harvest in those flashy gowns, nor is it logical for them to be wearing armour.

<p>Given the powerful innovation of appearance slots, why can't/haven't we seen any chainmail/leather/etc. bikini wearing Ogresses in <u>EQ2</u>???  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
