Why do most of the body type 1 models look so awful?

If they can redesign Wrathion, for example, when could improve human and other body type one appearances.

You picked the worst ones, armor looks great on the female orc model

We’re talking about the MALE options right?

I personally think they are fine, maybe just upright options for undead/trolls/worgan since it’s an option for orcs :woman_shrugging:

I like most of them personally, but I like big, strong guys over pretty guys. I wish upright troll was an option so everyone could see how tall I am.

I like some of the male some of the female bodies more than the other. Depends on the race.

Male - tauren, human, worgen, undead, vulpera, goblin
Female - orc, troll, pandaren, dwarf, gnome, draenei, night elf, blood elf, nightborne

When I read the thread title, I realized I couldn’t remember either.

At work so I couldn’t just check. Had to read comments :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m noticing a pattern here

Glad you didn’t say Undead. Body Type 1 Forsaken is fine as heck.

Oh wait, you did. Aight, Final Destination, no items, 1v1.

The male models all look bad because men look stupid.

RL and in art.

Women are beautiful from an objective artistic standpoint no matter which way you swing, while men are just big dumb rectangles.

It’s not Blizzard’s fault, it’s biology’s.

It wasn’t any better before the name change.

I do think the males are a little too bulky for the most part. When I play my tauren, it feels comically bulky. I usually go orc for the racial, and I go female because the males look ridiculous.

Is this to say that there is an objective beauty standard and women who aren’t shaped like that, but more closely resemble big dumb rectangles, aren’t objective artistic beauty?

Glad someone said it. Why use numbers unless you have more than two (like how SWTOR has small, skinny, gigachad, and fat versions of both males and females). Gamers won at the ballot box, Body Type lost.

Maybe if they had big ol’ beards.

I think dracthyr have more than 2.

I would love if each race had 4+ but I think that’s a long way off. I’d personally love either the super skinny Kt or even just a smaller belly on the current kt models as it doesn’t look good with the majority of wows skin tight mogs.

Idk what this means cuz a lot of the biggest games in recent years have been using body types.

A dev for the game
 I believe it was Kingdom of the Fallen? Put out a poll on X asking gamers if they wanted body types to say “Male/Female” or “Body Type (whatever)” and 85% of the thousands of voters he got said “Male/Female.”

Btw, I’m keeping my opinion on this to myself so if you have any complaints, please direct them to Lapenny. I’m just letting you know what they’re talking about.

All my characters are female because male characters all look the same. Overgrown gorillas.

Male characters look good in like 10% of the armor that exists in this game. Anything not plate looks awful or goofy.
