Do your real world look like the trailer?

Aza, Tristan, Inez, Niles look utterly, utterly normal. Marisol probably too without the goggles. Of course, Valerie not.
Why on earth would you think they don't look like normal people?

The dev stance and behavior remind me of a teenager who brought some piece of clothing that doesn't suit them at all, gets told about it by everyone he knows, yet not only keep wearing it, but goes out of their way to buy more clothing in the same style and wear it, with tears in their eyes, just to spite everyone.
Bioware proverbial hill is being uncool, unfunny and ugly literal npcs now, i hope theydie on it with a smile on their face for having owned the chuds so hard with their 2010 looking crap.

I asked about the world, not the characters. Why on earth do you think that gamers want real-world copypasta in their games? Have you ever heard of escapism?

Isn't Mortismal the same dude who praised Dragon Age Veilguard to high heavens?

How should the characters be in your fantasy world?

That depends. But foremost - interesting.

Nothing to do with this game.
He seems to be most normal dude on YouTube, only one I can watch.

It affects every game now. I can't relate to his opinions on story aspect anymore. Still watch his reviews for other aspects tho.

What would be "interesting"?

Thats fine.
I don't look at reviews for opinions on stories/writing. Most subjective part of video game imo.

Charisma, for starters. But it looks like you need to ask here - https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/

OK, it's great when someone can articulate their argument.

Could they make them any more generic and boring?

Looks like a crowd at a Pink concert.

Considering her last tour was to 5 millions people, I'm going to imagine that you have no idea beyond "singer is a woman with short hair, not Sydney Sweeney = bad, her crowd must be <whatever>"

It is a bad look when you take something obviously said in jest (with all the exageration it entails) very seriously to serve your argument.
If he had said looks like rednecks at a juggalo gathering, minus the make up, would you have gotten his point ?
The idea is those characters looks very bland, very uninterestings, like the "npc" people you can see at a huge concert aimed at middle to lower class people.
As usual with those things, to me the problem is not so much that the chara designers have awful taste, it is that it seems that they designed those type of characters at least in part to spite a part of the gaming community. Since gamergate it seems certain devs and journalists have a bone to pick with what they identify as "gamers" and they use every passive aggressive tool in their possession to mess with them. It is quite the bitch move.

I don't have the slightest idea what juggleo is tbh.
My heart bleeds for poor gamergaters, it's almost as if rape threats, death threats and endless abuse don't win you friends.

Do they have beards and (big) hammers?

I am guessing you look like an Obsidian character. However, in all seriousness, this isn't some anti woke comment. The character designs of late are bland and it's like there is a book out there of the different kinds of androgenous looks you can use. White androgenous person, black androgenous person, Asian androgenous person. Its no different to the bald white male on roids from the early 2000s.

I mean, about half of this thread are his posts where he just tried to score gotcha points by being obnoxious or baiting people into some stupid bullshit. Regardless of what is someone's stance on something and what they think, acting like this to make point across is just cringeNew site logo

Another culture warrior FAFO'd.
Yeah I blocked him days ago because every thread was just him shitting the place up and causing arguments (aka a troll)

I hope the studio is closed and people get fired.
Yeah, people can go against me saying "thats cruel", but fuck it. I don't want people like that near gaming industry screwing my hobby. Go fuck/preach somebody else hobby, gaming industry is already poluted with garbage.

Yeah, saw that coming from a mile away. Considering the amount of times he called everyone chuds, incels, manbabies, etc. - he got off really lightly too (highly doubt he's sensible enough to appreciate that benevolence, though).

There's only two paths from that point, double/triple down on the same type of posts and high stakes gamble, or cool off a bit.

A protagonist or MC is someone who stands out from the crowd. Otherwise, why should I bother with him/her. In a fantasy setting (and this is a fantasy game) characters need to be cool. That doesnt exactly mean being sexy (though it helps) but appealing in the way they look or how they are portrayed.
Those NPCs with broccoli haircuts and orthopedic legs are exactly the opposite of hype. These narcissistic devs need to understand that only Neil Druckmann can get away with stuff like this and even him is not untouchable.

Their outfits are really over-designed too. Like, just cluttered looking if you know what I mean. Take this example:
What even is the yellow thing twisted around her torso? Not to mention the sheer over saturation of details in the outfit itself. And they're all like that too. Their attire is so busy that it's off-putting and, even with that, the developers couldn't resist making them as boring as possible.
I can guess what the message is in designing characters like this and, sure, it's Obsidian's choice to do so - but the criticism they're receiving should be expected at this point. When creating a game that you want other people to buy, the focus should be on what your customers want and these designs show that Obsidian has definitely missed the memo - again.

I used to say that, but much like "problematic" - it's yet another word/phase that's tainted now. Same for "ya'll" and "touch grass".

Agreed. It reminded me of the Big Bang Theory where they lived in California and yet damn near everyone (minus the hot chick) is wearing like 3 fucking layers. The wardrobe guy on that show wanted to make sure they never had a reason to get rid of him.

Duh....I'm intentionally being hyperbolic, and it sounds better since they both end in oomer. The devs are probably gen-x to millennial, but my point is like many other AAA games it comes off like old people trying to pander to what they think young people like aesthetically.
I also never mentioned skin color at all, some of the companions are also white, and I don't really like the design of any of them...so enjoy your wrong assumption.
