Shallow, adolescent viewpoint

Thunderthyze · 06-03-2008, 06:56 AM

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.

Transen · 06-03-2008, 07:39 AM

...Well, at least the thread is aptly named.

Finora · 06-03-2008, 12:20 PM

LOL

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 =(

Yeah, they are great....if you only look at them from the front or from behind. Try the side profile view of them. You'll be like, "Where'd the T&A go?" Completely flat and lifeless all the way down.

Is there anything else other than a front or rear view?

I'm more a leg man myself......hence when Calista Flockhart tries it on with me I'm like "Flockhart....NO!"

I'd just like to add though that I thought this desperately shallow thread would have attracted far more weirdos.

Lets not bring up this argument Soga look like stick figures and the Originals look like downs syndrome suffers lets leave it at that.

Well, in that case, have you considered Lineage II? (Or even, another NCSoft product, City Of Heroes?)

But, with Age Of Conan, from a "female avatar" aspect, EQ2 has something that trumps AoC: namely "Appearance Slots." To quote the Brasse:

"Now before the AoC diehards pooh-pooh this notion, let me appeal to your baser nature: A fully geared up female warrior is not going to give you the ogling benefits of one who has a bikini in her appearance slots. Ah, you get the idea now... good." (From the Commentary to her strip of 5-24-08)

And, from what I have seen, this is what often already happens in EQ2. SMILEY

denmom · 06-04-2008, 11:27 AM

I so want the traditional "chainmail bikini" for my female fighters. 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 · 06-04-2008, 04:02 PM

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 SMILEY

just so RPers can have some fun. SMILEY

Chay · 06-04-2008, 06:28 PM

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 · 06-05-2008, 01:33 AM

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.

LordFyre · 06-07-2008, 06:17 PM

Given the powerful innovation of appearance slots, why can't/haven't we seen any chainmail/leather/etc. bikini wearing Ogresses in EQ2??? SMILEY

Perhaps it is wiser for ogresses NOT to wear clothes that are to... cough.... what i am trying to say is no to bikini wearing ogresses... SMILEY

BUT yes! we could use a total revamp of the models... My wood elf looks [Removed for Content]! it hurts me to say it but it's true... i wear a hoodie on the head so ppl can't see the [Removed for Content] face he has SMILEY

Transen · 06-09-2008, 10:44 AM

Facial features of the wood elf male models...just one word...[Removed for Content]. It's what happens in the woods when high elves mate with trolls.
