Why did we get fat humans?

Agreed OP. It’s not healthy having fat options. We need to rid the view that being fat is ok. It’s not. It’s not healthy.


Being super skinny is also unhealthy.
I think the real reason they don't want to give us Vrykul is that the ones in-game are basically Orcs. No seriously, look at them. The male is an Orc model with stretched out legs and the female is just a straight up Orc with a face and palette swap.

They are a PC tick box character for the body positivity nonsense. Reminds me of when I tried the SWTOR beta which had a body type control. Tons of fat jedi running around made the world seem absurd.


Oh god I know right. There was no way this guy was getting up the stairs but somehow he can jump around and fly with his lightsaber.


This actually sounds funny

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A FAT KUL TIRAN, THERE'S AN OPTION TO BE SKINNY, SKINNY LIKE AN UNDEAD WITH SKIN SKINNY.
As always, this is a baseless claim. No one from Blizz has ever said the skinny model was going to be available, and I can guarantee to you that it won't be.

my disappointment will be at an all time high if they dont come through with the skinny humans they showed us with the forsaken skeleton.
Sorry.

Being fat is bad for you. You can sugar coat it all you want, but having kids emulate successful fat people is not a great thing.
Oh wow. You're such an altruist, all worried about my health.

...nah. I see through you. You don't give two kodo nuggets about that. Being "health conscious" is just a self righteous cloak you throw on when you wanna be hateful to to fat people.

Also... this is Nia Jax. She's built almost exactly like a KT female... I suspect her health is just fine.

Actually being fat is not healthy. It's a scientific fact that it can lead to diabetes and increase the rate of heart disease, which is not good

No i don't mind them being here but rather just customization options.

But S said being fat is healthy, which it's not

There's a fine line between being a little overweight (which is fine), then being fat

Smoking is worse. Abusing alcohol is worse.

GETTING INTO SWORD FIGHTS IS WORSE.

what would be your top 3 allied races if you could add them? i'm curious as to what you think is cool if kul turians aren't.

though tbh ally side i'm most psyched for dark irons. my mains a dwarf paladin. i've always loved the dwarf models. even the women. ;)

Vry'kul (love the nordic mythology influence)
Eredar aka man'ari (a actual evil and awesome looking race)
San'layn (me like vampires)

Another fist to the face for Alliance. How can we make humans look worse?

Well we MIGHT be getting san'layn.


Dear god please no. Those things are hideous. We already have blood elf death knights and void elves to fill the "vampire" role.


You forgot one blood there, darling. It's Blood Blood Elf Death Knights, thank you.

And I'd trade all the Allied Races for an internship quest line with the Blood Trolls along with Lord Thorval, it is uncanny the amount of fun I have fighting npcs that use nearly the exact same spells that I do.

As the Deathlord and sole provider of material resources for the Ebon Blade I feel I deserve the chance to delve in such advanced academic endeavors for the benefit of my peers.

In DAOC (the MMO I played 2001-2004, until WoW launched) there were 6 races per faction, but 3 factions (Briton, Irish, and Norse), so 18 races. Later they add Minotaurs (Taurens) for all 3 factions.

One of the Briton races was "Half Ogres" , supposedly a half-breed between humans and ogres. They were taller and fatter than "humans", so were pretty similar to "Kul-Tiran Humans". Maybe a little taler.

I see no problem with the KTH allied race. They are less ugly than several WoW playable game races. And who said every race should be "pretty"?
Lol... a bunch of folks crying over what seems to me to be nothing more then "I don't want to play a fat human because I am one".

And as a consumer, I have the right to express my displeasure about the new content that I already pay.


As a consumer, you have NO right to restrict OTHER consumers' choices of what THEY choose to play.

And, since Blizzard gives you TWENTY-TWO races to choose from, it is insane to say "all 22 of them must be ones that I PERSONALLY LIKE".

That isn't being a consumer -- that is being a dictator. Or imagining you are one.

Then you look at kul'tiran humans and say oh they are just humans who have eaten a lot of junk food and drink a lot of alcohol.


I don't see that. I see them as a hearty race of seafarers.

Don't play one if they bother you but I think they are fine the way they are.


Seafarers? Being that overweight you wont survive the seas in times without the technology we have nowadays. Even look at the fattest person on deadliest catch, they dont even come close to being that fat.
I would have been more enthused if Kultiran's were more of the lithe and agile swashbuckler types... not the standard roid-raging human males we already have but dialed up to 11.

It would have been nice if we could have had human males that actually have proportions remotely close to real life human males, but for whatever reason Blizzard feels that only Blood/Void elf males should have remotely realistic human proportions, while the actual human males are relegated to being ugly, aged, roid-junkies, that will soon come in "beer gut" flavor.
