Chinese Undead models are without bones?

Community General Discussion

The Chinese undead models are without displaying bones outside because of censorship reasons in China but they look so much better than ours, this is the old model example but if you check the new ones they are even better

Should be an option. This is the worst RPG I've ever played for character customization

This has been a thing for a long time; it's not actually censored in China so much as the gaming companies there censor it automatically for fear it will cause delays in getting the product to market in China.

Yeah, looks nice!

Its not censorship, it is against their religion and seen as offensive in not showing respect to their ancestors.

If you can deal with UC becoming a giant bread factory it's a fine change, and you can play the Chinese version of WoW for a better looking Forsaken model. I don't know if I could deal with that kind of hilarity though.

Current Undead models are fine.

It is censorship. The Chinese government censors a lot of things for the "safety" of its people, like most Communist nations have/do/will.

It's less about actual safety and more about exerting control over people.

I wish my Forsaken could have less flesh, not more.

I want to look like Onrack the Broken from Malazan. A Skeleton with strips of dried flesh and skin hanging off my ancient bones.

What I would like is an option for Undead to show armor that does not rip at the elbows,knees and toes.

I used to main undead in Vanilla, I had no problem with exposed bones when they ought to be visible but it always annoyed me that they rip through my armor; Just because i'm undead doesn't mean all my gear has to look like rags. A skeleton can be dressed respectably.

I'd actually play an undead if I could be a full on skeleton myself. I always liked skeletons more than ghouls/zombies.

My UD Rogue's backbone has been poking through his cloak for YEARS.

The Chinese government says what is and is not against their religion :P

I don't mind anywhere else, but I hate the break at the elbows and knees. It looks really stupid and ruins gear. It would be nice if we had choices, regular, no break at elbows and knees, no bones showing at all. The character customization in this game is a dinosaur, every other game blows it out of the water.

But what about the D&D undead power progression!

Skeletons<zombies<ghouls<ghosts<vampires<wraiths<vampire lords<lich<skeletal dragons<arch lich

Undead models without visible bones should be an option.
