okay, and being ugly is usually not attractive in men and yet we have ugly male game charactersWhat's attractive in a man is very different from that of a woman though.

Street Fighter V is a recent one that comes to mind. Dudes of all shapes and sizes, women not so much.
Yeah WD2 is quite amazing how diverse and unique everything is instead of beauty model #3.?
compared to:

WD2 is way more diverse.
That screenshot looks exactly like what i'd expect from a next gen RPG character who's customizable.
If you wanna use another example example from the game in question, this was called terrible in that downgrade thread and some even insinuated that Bioware intentionally makes female characters "ugly" in the goal of feminism.
because it doesn't look exactly like a photoshopped picture of the model she's scanned from.
Like holy shit.

Now I find that one alright. Tbh the only primary issue I really see with the Mass Effect "downgrade" controversy are the eyes and the facial animation. The former looks dead and the latter just leaves a lot to be desired. Otherwise, default Ryder looks fine (but of course I'll be customizing her to look androgynous because that is my jam when it comes to games with CC.)If you wanna use another example example from the game in question, this was called terrible in that downgrade thread and some even insinuated that Bioware intentionally makes female characters "ugly" in the goal of feminism.

It is not a popular opinion, I know. Which is why I tend to stay out of threads that are based on gender. The thread title fooled me though. But I'll take my leave now.Really?
Evidently.
Bethesda games have ugly EVERY character, so that might not be the best example.Well Oblivion and Bethesda games in general had ugly female characters.
Morinth is hella ugly.
Well, what makes a man attractive are not just looks. If that makes sense.
If that's your point then I suppose I'd agree, but again I don't see it as an issue.
Developers don't have to bow to every demand that people on a forum make.Why are you surprised? It's hardly the developers' fault when the wanker kids are frequently making an outrage every time a female character is not a supermodel doll waifu. Look at League of Legends, every time they have tried to make a character that wasn't a perfect faced model they've been bombed with hundreds of threads of these immature kids being angry because the character doesn't have huge boobs or a doll animu face.
I mean, I've read in this very place that Aloy from Horizon was "ugly", what do you even expect at this point.
Preexisting characters like Triss, who had to be completely rewritten in order to fit DD Projekt Red's design requirements. There is nothing in the source material that says that every female character needs to wear high heels.The Witcher uses preexisting characters so it's not the best example

that's beside the point - men in games are allowed to be ugly, frequently.
women are not.

The mentoo™ brigade missing the point as always. Here's a thought, using Nathan Drake as an example, no one complained when he looked like this in the first reveal back in 2014.
just some of the main characters from 2016
Actually her first game design was like that, she just got turned into a 11/10 after the downgrade.in the book yennefer is described as middlingly attractive but with something about her that makes her more appealing. also she drowns her face in makeup.
in the game they just make her a supermodel

What do people think of Pillars of Eternity's companions (all but the upper-left one)?
Until we get a main male character with big butt, big belly, without six packs and all girls are not flocking around him your points are invalid.
That older render was much more traditionally attractive than the final model for Yennefer.Actually her first game design was like that, she just got turned into a 11/10 after the downgrade.
Shame I never played ME3 then cause that design is fucking awesomeME3 has/had Nyreen:
Definitely not hot blue lesbian lady.
I though this thread was going to be about 8 Hate and anything below a 7 being trash
Still, good points well made
Geralt looks like he's in his mid-30s, so the age Wild Hunt's writers made up for him doesn't really factor into this in any way. Ciri wears makeup, high heels and the flimsiest shirt in the world, none of which have anything to do with her age and are extremely ill-fitting to her role in the story and the places it takes her.You need not delve into Witcher's lore to find out why everyone looks like that. Geralt's almost a century old, Vesemir's the oldest witcher alive, Triss & Yen are sorceresses and Ciri is in her early 20s.
If with traditional you mean it would exist in the real world, then yes, because final Yeneffer is simply perfect. Which goes with the fact that witches get their looks from magic.That older render was much more traditionally attractive than the final model for Yennefer.
Look at Mass Effect Andromeda threads right in this forum to see people slaming on ugly women then you'll get the answer on why devs make attractive women in their games.
You really need to check out Mass Effect Andromeda lolBioware is really guilty (in the past) of making all the women flawless and most of the men unappealing
Lemme just go ahead and stop ya right there.
Lol the dev diary specifically talked about how often they kept revisiting her design to maker her prettier.
What's attractive in a man is very different from that of a woman though.
I like this new straw man argument. Totally sidestep the fact that MEA has awful animations and weird uncanny valley faces for all characters, body types and genders, and go straight to "all criticism of it is sexist". This is a good way to handle the debate and ignore the actual criticism.
That post isn't saying "all criticism of it is sexist" it's pointing out that the response to Mass Effect Andromeda having some not extremely attractive character designs is that they're ugly and should be changed to be attractive.
Yes there are some really wonky looking animations in that game, but that doesn't explain crap like this:
