I think both are problematic, they just serve to escalate an irrelevant conversation, which would lead to the thread being locked. Just enjoy the GIFs, no?
The thread and the internet wide backlash as a whole is extremely self serving in that way. A highly anticipated 4th game in an established franchise is being lampooned to high heaven before it's even been officially released,you think people aren't going to be looking for someone to point the finger at?
 
You can't photoshop a 3d character and make it work.

It's much more complicated than that
Nonsense, that basement dweller should be given a lead modeler job at EA ASAP, jut like this should've hired this person to be the lead designer/modeler for the new mirror's edge:

I'm convinced that at least part of the reason FemRyder looks so bad compared to other characters is because they purposefully tried to change her from the original model to something less attractive.
Because you're a sexist who isn't using any critical thinking skills atm. "Theories" like yours are just.....incredibly cringeworthy...
 
Why do people give a crap how femRyder looks? Create your own character like a normal person.

Btw, that Mirrors Edge thing is hypocritical. She looks like a high fashion model in the original. Its just one lofty standard for another.

Inquisition's story was perfectly serviceable. More importantly, the writing was actually good.

No, every character with more than a few lines in Inquisition is a complete mess.

Not to mention the hamfisted main story.

It's nice that Inquisition was inclusive, but that doesn't mean the writing wasn't a dumpster fire on every level.
 
I doubt that, the model is definitely meant to look somewhat attractive:

It only really falls apart when she make those awful expressions. You're giving them too much credit there.

Why then is male Ryder such a spot on attractive replica and female Ryder is not though. Yes she looks ok at times but something is clearly off. Most people can see that.

The explanation that they just can't do women as well makes no sense to me. Wasn't true in past games, and by the looks of it people are creating perfectly acceptable female Ryders.

The create-a-characters are always worse than the presets. That has been cemented in the ME games since the first one.

Sure if you put in a ton of effort you can squeeze out someone that doesn't look offensive, but the visual fidelity drop and animation jank associated with custom characters were always a detriment to me in Bioware games.

Because the character creator is pretty crap.

Anyway... apart from the eyes, default FemRyder is a pretty good character model. It's just the wonky animation and unflattering lighting (there is a lot of this) that makes her look bad.

Face sliders are always where it is at

There arent presets in Inquisition though? Default femShepard was also made in the CC. I never liked default maleShepard and never used it.

Of course you're just throwing epithets around. You basically just hop around threads sounding off with a totally unearned air of authority. You eventually just resorted to taking shots last time we debated as well when things weren't going your way.

I can't get over:

- the "reset and start animation" which looks like "come back from coma" face animation that's happenng in the first 0.5 seconds
- that stupid-ass smirk when Ryder is pulling herself up

I don't even mind the unbelievable physics of the push/ throw.

Yeah, and the majority of Inquisition create-a-characters looked like garbage. I probably restarted the game three times because of how stupid my character looked while animating/talking.
 
Well, at the very least, all of this bad press on the ridiculous, shitty animation should light a fire under their ass to make the next Dragon Age look amazing
<crosses fingers>

Inquistion had a lot of problems but looks weren't one of them aside from their awful hair.

Bioware really needs to hire people that know hair, because obviously noone at that company does.

I did that tons with my mass effect characters, but all my DA characters inquisition included came out fine the first time.
 
This is an unfortunate glitch as the animation in that clip isn't even bad. It's actually pretty good.

I decided to check this thread and the first thing I saw was someone posting a link from GG and even worse, you providing asinine and sexist speculation. Maybe look in a mirror and truly think about WHY you think a team would "intentionally" make a character "less attractive" over concerns that she's too hot. Truly think about why you think a team comprised mostly of men, would gather together, and think, "eh she's too hot, let's make changes." To put it bluntly, Thatsnothowthisworksthatsnothowanyofthiswork.jpg
 
says the person with a FFXV avatar lmao

Inquisition's story was perfectly serviceable. More importantly, the writing was actually good.

There were a few good conversations in Inquisition (mostly with Iron Bull and Solas), but most of it was sub-par I'd say. Real step down from Origins and ME 1 and 2. Andromeda seems another step down.

Inquisition reminded me of low budget generic fantasy stuff I read as a kid, like the DragonLance books. The overall plot was serviceable though. Andromeda seems like low quality YA novel level.

Also, although FF XV's plot delivery and pacing ended up being utter shit, the moment to moment dialogue ended up being mostly believable and surprisingly competently written!

We'll leave the gulf in animation quality off the table as not a fair comparison....
 
I'm convinced that at least part of the reason FemRyder looks so bad compared to other characters is because they purposefully tried to change her from the original model to something less attractive. I can only think that, like some of the posters on this site, someone at Bioware thought it would be particularly noble or virtuous to not make FemRyder too hot. No such concerns over male Ryder of course.

But whoever oversaw that 'opposite make over', so to speak, seemingly didn't have the talent to do it properly because they took her face careening into uncanny valley. If you're going to do something like that, you at least need to have the skill to pull it off.

So basically, there's:

- 10/10 supermodel sexy
- Lynchian, uncanny valley mannequin that can't emote properly and has perpetual coke eyes

I feel like there's a bit of space between these two.

I thought mine looked pretty good...
Regardless, were they worse than other games?

Can I just say congratulations? I think it's commendable how you've managed to shed your previous reputation as an obnoxious Ubisoft shill by turning into an obnoxious member who has made it a personal quest to jump from thread to thread getting off on making blanket generalizations and calling fellow members perverts and sexists. Seriously, congrats. Some people might think you're laying it on a bit too thick wherever you show up but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, am I right? Keep on fighting that good fight!

They're just calling them as they see em.

And they don't seem to be wrong as far as I can see.
 
I'm mad because you called out blatant sexism in the form of idealized photoshops who's main contribution to discussion is "the women aren't pretty enough."
That's good to know. Seriously, what do you think the purpose of photoshopped images like that one are? Or the butt comparison on page 55, or a full willingness to believe that a company would hire someone with no experience to be a lead animator and thus, she is the SOLE person to blame for all the issues with the animation, or conspiracy theories that the women are intentionally less attractive because "they were too hot." Do you not realize how transparent shit like that is? Or what would lead someone to believe any of it is valid?
 
Biggest disappointment of the year easily, was so looking forward to this one

Wait for reviews and full impressions, it might still be more than fine. The game might also be improved after the worst kinks and warts are patched out, so jumping into it later on is also a possibility
