Both male and female nightborne are terrible. For me it is mostly the body proportions and posture.
I really want to love my new nightborne character, but they’re just too painful to look at! Why couldn’t we have gotten beautiful models like these?

Please Blizzard, can we have THESE models instead? They look amazing.
It doesn’t let me post pictures or links. You’ll have to copy and paste and remove the spaces to see. It is a picture of PC nightborne model we could have had.
Like, I get it. Their old models were skinny, yes, but nobody every payed attention to that because they were always decked out in massive floating armor!
Now we get them in game as just their base appearance with a flat texture slapped on them. It just doesn’t work.
Let’s hope they don’t mess up Kyrian or Venthyr if they do end up adding them.
I think the female model looks fine, in general. Could use more hair styles, skin colors, and an option for narrowed eyes though.
The male one looks better if you have armored pants or a robe on, but they merely inherited that “barrel chest then tiny waist” issue from Night Elf males.
We’re a rush job. Night elves with fewer animations, and fewer customization options than any race in the game. Nightborne deserved better after Legion.
I know they are giving customization to core races currently, but once 9.0 is out, I hope Nightborne and Void Elves get some love… I should have a unique dance and a voiced /threaten!
