With all this talk about player agency and character customization, how come we’re all forced to play a fat Druid?
You’re not fat you’re big boned.
No the concept art is big boned and burly, the actual in game model? Fat and tubby.
That is the ideal male body.
You may not like it, but that is what peak performance looks like.
They need an effect where if you spend a great deal of time out fighting and not sitting in town eating so much you get fit looking.
No thats the body of a society that has SUGAR poisoning, its whats driving Diabetes and should not be celebrated as a ideal look. Eat real food get healthy or become the Druid!
I’m with you but that’s fat druid post #5 or something xD
They mentioned in an interview that one reason body type was more of a fixed thing per class was because they designed the class armor models around that body type I believe.
They let people equip gear with the same models on everything from a Kul-Tiran to a Goblin in WoW though so
I like the “fat” (BBW) ladies.
But a druid could change into the form of a thin wolf or a buff bear. Druid lore would suggest that the human body bust have 40% fat in order to sustain shape changing.
Don’t play Druid
I for one think Fat Druid should stay. With no options to change it
Well, technically I would make the Druid class system something about attuning you to an animal, giving various benefits. But also cosmetic effects.
Bear Clan druids would be Fat Druid. Wolf Clan druids would be Slender/Agile Druid. Raven Clan would be I Dont Know, something fitting for a bird-attuned, Druid. Hawkish?
i guess that would require a lot of art and animation work
Yep.
Maybe they could reuse other classes “skeletons”. Like slender druid could use the rogue body, raven could use necro. Or whatever.
Didnt say it was realistic
it would be cool indeed
but the kids dont want to attune with an animal
they want cool fast fluid swip swop during combat!!!
It was only a matter of time until the body positivity movement began to emerge in Sanctuary.
Well, might need a few crumbs on the chest and beer stains on the shirt and beard to be a perfect comparison.
He is strong man fat. The only fat that is semi acceptable.
The amount of work going that route is immensely larger though. (And to be fair, in WoW armor really only look good on humans and orcs)
I would love to play a thinner barbarian so much!
Every time i play Elden ring I make my characters super thin and dual wield big boy weapons.
Just because someone is slim built does not mean they are weak irl.
This is not real life either, so a Nephalem should be able to carry a big weapon as hes a barbarian thats trained his body throughout his life.
