Does this mean you concede the skinny male should be available since it only effects that male model? Seems like an invalid point to me…
Really? The alternative of every race getting their own body type options didn’t even cross your mind?
Imagine how awesome it would be if we had some kind of weight slider in the character creation screen.
I’d like to see the super skinny ones as an option personally. Like the Stanley model.
So fat Forsaken? Are you asking for fat Forsaken?
(I mean absolutely no offense with this comment by the way. I’m just trying to picture one now.)
If Kultirans had multiple body type options, couldn’t that open the way for other races to get them too? I mean everything has to start somewhere right?
I actually do like the idea of a body slider, and I wish we had that option, what I’m saying is why just give it to the KT humans, why not give it to the other races as well.
that’s sound interesting but not realistice unless they’re abomination looking undead, more like fat goblins because of Gallywix and bulky trolls because of forest trolls and even the dire troll despite them being just bodyguards.
Shaved Pandas, and I think that having multiple body types for one race is preferential treatment, as it is only given to One race. The better option is giving a full customization to all rather than one.
It doesn’t matter why Blizzard decided to fill Kul Tiras with regular-sized humans. They’ve set the precedent. That is what a typical Kul Tiran looks like, and they’re going to have to explain why the Player Character does not allow for that.
That’s kind of my take on it.
Or think of it like this: Since Blizzard has shown that more Kul Tirans are the same size as other humans, if they don’t allow body types for the one race in the game that has at least two prominent body types more than the average build, then we can pretty much assume that body types for any other race just won’t happen.
It’s all about the precedent.
Kul Tirans have to be the first to get it.
We don’t see Tauren, Night Elves, Orcs, Pandaren, Draenei, or any other race with more than one body type to represent their race.
The Kul Tirans do. If Blizzard doesn’t allow for the player character to have that choice for the race that demonstrably, visibly has different body types, we can forget about it for any of the races ever getting different sizes.
Then I believe we are in the same page here.
As soon as we see other races that have different body types already in the game, I’ll put a dog in that hunt.
But right now, Kul Tirans are the only race with observably different body types, so it’s only reasonable that the player character can choose one of them for their Kul Tiran character.
void elves, dark iron dwarves, mag’har orcs, lightforged draenei. How are these models changed? Different hair options? different skin tones? those aren’t model changes. even highmountain tauren only have different antlers, but I’ll give that to you. only the nightbourne actually had their model changed to make them look like scrawny little twig men.
So instead of 0%, you should have said 83%.
Changing the customization options and the animations are important, but the skeleton and model that those fit into/onto obviously isn’t.
Either way, I don’t care. If they make the thin model available I’ll make a scrawny “Raistlin” mage. If not I’ll make a massive “Hagrid”. “Average” holds no appeal to me, I don’t like that model anyway.
That’s all.
Then thats preferential treatment, by definition.
You know I kinda agree now. There needs to be customization options.
Every race should go from morbidly obese to so fat you gonna die tomorrow.
There should be no option for anything close to skinny. Except undead. Than you should only be a skeleton with no flesh available.
Youre all forgetting that they won’t do it.
I think this is exactly one of the OP’s arguments. Since you can’t tell the difference anyway, it might as well be available.
I hope I at least gave you a chuckle trying to picture it.
Not if the Kul Tirans are the only race in the game that show different body types. That’s just being faithful to the world building.
Like I said, when they show other races with different body types applied to more than a handful of NPCs, I want those as customization options too.
Edit: Welcome back @Rhielle, even though I thought you said you were done.
It’s not a theory. It’s blatant text in game. So I’m not sure what Q&A said otherwise. If this text is wrong, then I’d sure like to know why those giant KT exist, seeing as how they’re larger than Kaldorei and Trolls, and probably twice the size of their own people.
We Thornspeakers joined Kul Tiran society. Some of their descendants heard the call of the wilds and wished to learn the ancient ways, and so we have taught them.
Indeed I find it funny.
