SmileMoar Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hello my fellow forum goers, I have recently decided to level an alt sith warrior which I shall be making a marauder. However I find my self stuck on whether I should go body type 2 or 3 so I decided I'd ask you guys what your thoughts are on the matter. Below are some of thoughts I am having about this. A few things that get me about both body types: Apparently body type 3 and 4 are not able to get datacrons? No source for this one but if someone could either confirm/deny this for me? Does this size difference affect anything else? Animations? How does end game gear look on a BT 2? Does it look/feel to small? Do BT 3 look too bulky when they have end game armor on?

Helig Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Type 3 looks like a man from behind. Not my cup of tea. Type 4 looks tad heavy for a fast melee fighter. Type 1 looks too frail for a head-on fighter. I'd go with Type 2. Looks good in every equipment type - both, my Commando and Sage are type 2 females. Armour looks just fine, and so do robes. As for Datacrons, I can confirm that Male Type 3 can't get the Alderaan Willpower datacron. Edited June 22, 2012 by Helig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazra Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 As for Datacrons, I can confirm that Male Type 3 can't get the Alderaan Willpower datacron. This has been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helig Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 This has been fixed. Good, good. Not playing that character anyway Got replaced with a body type 1 Assassin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallerup Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I pick body type 2 for all my characters. I think the others are... well. body type 1 is too skinny, 3 is chubby (if male) or big if female and 4 is just too big. 2 is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldserpent Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 The only one I wouldn't go with is body type one, for a female marauder. Body type 1 is definitely too frail looking. Body type 2 is "average," Body type 3 is the Amazonian look(DEATH BY SNU-SNU!), and Body Type 4 is "pleasantly plump," which can throw off a lot of opponents in a funny way.

sithgreyguard Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) It all comes down to personal preference. for me i liked body type 2. Edited July 3, 2012 by sithgreyguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderbubble Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I went with 1 for my female marauder. She gives you the feeling of her being seemingly gentle, frail, and nonthreatening... until it's too late. Body type 2 is a suitable alternative IMO. 3 and 4 just look odd to me.

_Adisa_ Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 A day late and a dollar short, but I rolled a body type 3 on my female marauder, she's tall, athletic build, lean yet muscular, she's gorgeous. Just got to throw this out there, no wonder woman have such body issues in general, when "we" tend to think that body type 4 is plump and 3 is "mannish", aye!!

Marked_Man Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I dunno. Something psychologically scarring about a body type 1 one face rolling you. "Dude! You just got rolled by Sailor Moon!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistress_Ivi Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The whole bodytype system was pure lazyness; could have very easily scaled camera angles via % in height/weight to specific body types if that was the reasoning. As for your particular, bodytype 2... I'd rather it be an arguement between 1 and 2, but if you like 3... go with 2. Type 3, looks more of a "Juggernaught" bodytype, if any. Infact, I think only a commando would really suit that bodytype, it just scream... 'give it a BFG' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'give it a BFG'i tried making a body type 3 trooper once... it felt wrong even as a trooper it was like having a dude with *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
