ozirizo Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I disagree with this. I was about to post a screenshot but you can easily see this for yourself simply by selecting a male republic trooper with body type 2 in the character creation screen. Among other issues, the head is just too big for the body. It is, in fact, almost as large as the head sitting atop the much larger body type 3. LOL you have no idea what are you talking about. If you're really that interested go learn some body proportions. Google is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaelex Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I would also like a more normal average looking body type as the number 3 is way too tall and muscular to be a Jedi. I should have chosen type 2, but it looked way too small and fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloomfireblade Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) since i am a female in real life its not so hard still why can't the developer do as the community ask and give as a detailed character creator also the forced hood wear is also a pain bioware should change this and soon i seen several npcs in the old republic who wear variants of the chest parts we have to endure with hoods Even in SWG you could put the hood down if you can remove the head part from displaying so should you be able to do it with the hood Edited December 30, 2011 by bloomfireblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weezdajuice Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) needs more fat female. currently its stick figure and huge breasts, skinny and huge breasts, tall and huge breasts, or curvy with giant breasts. someone at bioware (a woman) obvious thought that obesity objectified women, so they went with giant breasts instead. on a side note it took me 4 attempts to find a BREAST word that wasn't censored. Get real BW. B00bs is not a bad word. Edited December 30, 2011 by weezdajuice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karkais Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) For a professional graphic artist take few days to do it, just look who makes bodies and armors for games like Skyrim, Fallout 3/NV, Oblivion, and they are not professionals. Do you have any idea what amount of animations (cut-scenes, riding speeders, riding shuttles, combat animations etc) would have to be checked that they dont clip or cause other problems? Also items, hoods, armor, I dont think its going to happen anytime soon really. Bioware devs have stated they take that testing stuff really seriously. I agree that the last two bodytypes (the hulk hogan and jabba the hutt) look slightly out-of-place. But at least we have some options. Better than none. I wish they would have slightly toned down the size of bodytype 3 really. We need bodytype differences like: Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in episode I. Qui-Gon isn't Hulk Hogan. needs more fat female. currently its stick figure and huge breasts, skinny and huge breasts, tall and huge breasts, or curvy with giant breasts. someone at bioware (a woman) obvious thought that obesity objectified women, so they went with giant breasts instead. on a side note it took me 4 attempts to find a BREAST word that wasn't censored. Get real BW. B00bs is not a bad word. You obviously haven't played MMOs before. There is no fat female bodytype ANYWHERE. Im not saying there couldnt be, but the devs will never do it.

Wraith_Shadow Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yeah, it's a little sad that the star trek mmo has a way better character builder than the 300 million dollar wow clone. Especially considering how one of the biggest outcry's of beta was the terrible customization. It's not like we were asking for apb or eve level of character building, but I think they did a terrible job of it and DE gave a horrible reasoning as to why.

lornalove Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Do you really think the female bodies are any more "normal"? I actually like all of the bodies currently available, but I agree that having more body types to choose from would be great. Until then, male body 2 looks perfect on my IA.

Wintermutes Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Body type 2.5 would have been nice for both males and females. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkalevil Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I have to agree : the male bodies are seriously horrible. Most of the problem comes from the fact that the torso is FAR too short. It seems they used the woman's proportions, and it's particularly egregious on the type 3, with a torso that has more depth than height. And yes, the type 2 looks skinny. It's not because they applied a muscular TEXTURE on it that it changes its frame nor, more than anything, the relative size of its head compared to the body. I tried to make a Jedi Knight with the male body 2 and 3. The first one look like a gremlin, with a big head on top of a stick. The second looks like a supermutant with an horizontal barrel in place of the torso. Both have laughable animations - body type 2 running looks like a girlish Benny Hill. I simply can't have a male character looking acceptable. I've already two female char, and I'd like to make my male ones, but I can't have fun with buffon-looking avatars, sorry. Male models simply look completely ridiculous, and if you can't see it, it's time to repair or change your eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelshooter Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The bodies are pretty bad, but it's the hideous faces that really annoys me. Particularly on body type 3 because the facial features seem distorted in order to match the size of the body...looks really retarded. BioWare I would rather have a choice between 4 or 5 ATTRACTIVE faces than 20+ repulsive faces that make my character look he has down syndrome. Oh, and don't even get me started on the hairstyles... :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imtrick Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 As other people have mentioned, #2 really isn't all that bad once you throw some gear on it. I thought he looked a bit skinny right out of the gate, too, but after a few levels you realize the poor guy just needed some clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahzmat Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 dude seriously, i can't believe you are complaining about the MALE options... I went through all the body types and faces like i always do just to see what combinations i could create. I went through male: not so bad. I like the fat man not being fat below the legs... I went through the female: WTEFF?!?!?! Where is my fat chick? Why the hell can i be a portly man and not a portly chick? The worst part about it is im not even chubby in the face... It's just round. I have huge bust and not a single ounce of fat like the male characters. W/e i guess my character is going to be female. When they say "haha, ok we will give you fat chicks" then im gonna come back in THIS VERY THREAD and rage that they changed it on me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
einherjar_LC Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) You're not overreacting, in my opinion. There has been an almost universal complaint about this for over 6 months now and (to my knowledge) Bioware has never even commented on it much less done anything about it. It has been difficult not to look at that fact and wonder how that lack of communication is going to work on a larger, big picture scale. This^ All throughout beta it was one of, if not the biggest complaint. Testers were hoping it was just a bare bones version of the creator so they could focus on testing but alas, what we saw is what we got and I agree with the OP that the male body types are pitiful. The female ones are just as bad although the female 4 body type(besides her top half) is about as close to normal as we're gonna get I think.

CFourPO Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yeah I agree with OP. I tried to make a male trooper and really wanted for a 2.5. I just gave up and made a smuggler. I was cool with him looking skinny. You know what is the most stupid thing in the MMO genre? The game with the least need for it has the best (human) character generator ever seen in MMOs to date. Guess which game I'm talking about? I'd guess Star Trek Online. Amazing character customization. but why? Nothing in Star Trek ever looked different except 1. different color skin 2. different junk on forehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamxk Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Yeah.. really need a male body type in between 2 and 3. I hate looking at my 7ft tall jedi sentinal. Its making me not want to play honestly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbara Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Again a game where you are pretty muh forced to go female to make a good looking character. THe problem here is actually so fundemental you cant even start MAKING a male character because of body type. Male bodytypes: 1: Skinny little kid 2: Anorexic hunger starvation victim of a male 3: Hulk Hogan on steroids 4: Human Jabba the hut Was it really that hard to add a NORMAL male model? Am i overreacting or do you guys agree? >.< is there anything you guys won't complain about? it's like you sit at your comp for hours trying to think up more ridiculous things to be mad at. the number two body looks totally normal. not anorexic in the least. you people are insane Edited February 4, 2012 by Gilbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLightningLord Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I always play women in third-person games anyways.
