Nobody in Overwatch is ugly. Everyone has a design meant to cater to a specific demographic in terms of their physical appearance. At least that's how I felt looking at the base cast. Dunno if Blizzard added more unconventional characters in terms of appearance down the line but I doubt it. This is the company felt the need to make the mutated master of evil space bugs sexy.Dr Cheeto posted:Oh god I need a source on this haha I really don't know if its true, its one of those things I just heard repeated often enough that I just assume it as fact. Its funny enough that I want it to be true at least. EDIT: I gave Blizzard credit for making Ana an old lady and then took that credit away when she had a skin that made her a conventionally attractive young woman like every other character.

Reminder that video games turned shelob, the spider monster from lord of the rings, into a sexy dark-elf looking babe because of loving course

Today I went to Goodwill and saw a copy of Spore for $12. Then I went to a volunteer bookstore and bought a Joe Dever's Lone Wolf book and a copy of Siddhartha.

I'd love a legit porker of a woman in OW though. I'm sure they'll get there.

rune factory frontier has eunice who you can marry, the game gives you a choice whether to suggest she should go on a diet or not and if you don't, then she just. stays fat. for the rest of the game

cheetah7071 posted:Reminder that video games turned shelob, the spider monster from lord of the rings, into a sexy dark-elf looking babe because of loving course Well they wanted her to have a more active role in the story but couldn't be animating a giant spider model everytime she showed up. It was just a practical choice, you have to realize their are limitations in the game design process. ...what's that? Why couldn't she be something other than a sexy elf? Well uh you see- here buy this lootbox. mutata posted:You're very picky, but Moira is a type you don't see too often either. I'd love a legit porker of a woman in OW though. I'm sure they'll get there. I dunno who Moira is but I don't think I'm being very picky. Out of the base cast, the female characters all share almost the exact same body type excluding Mei. It looks pretty bad when you put them up against the male characters that run a pretty broad spectrum in terms of shape, height, and weight. What I'm saying is, devs need to have the courage to make the lady equivalents of Junkrat and Roadhog. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 04:26 on May 3, 2018 |

monolith in 2000: here's an fps about a spy lady having to deal with 60s workplace discrimination because of her coworkers thinking she's just a pretty face, entirely getting by on her skills as an agent monolith in 2017: shelob manipulates people with her giant titty al-azad posted:On the other hand I think translators take comic relief characters as a personal challenge to give them the best dialog because I refuse to believe Margarita is half as interesting in the Japanese version. tbh cold steel isn't a fair example because hatsuu is possibly the best editor in the business and her localization projects are kind of consistently better than the original writing. cold steel is like, in the running for the single best jrpg dub ever recorded, i don't think there are a lot of people in localization who are as in touch with the good parts of every individual character in a game as she is, and definitely none who keep a loving spreadsheet of every single minor npc in a 5+ game-long franchise xseed in general is crazy and i think most editors there are in a similar running, for having an absurdly good sense for character writing and comedy. zwei 2 was totally different staff and that was also like, a ridiculously good localization The Colonel fucked around with this message at 04:36 on May 3, 2018 |

Here is how you manage those games. You zone out during the plot and then go back to creating stories you care about with all your orc friends.

the most badass thing about the editor for the trails series is the one time she just randomly went back and released a patch for trails in the sky on steam that polished a bunch of clunkier lines of totally random dialog. not for any particular reason, just cause she could

This isn't really relevant at all but I want everyone who hasn't read the silmarillion to learn about Shelob's cool-rear end spider momThe Silmarillion posted:There, beneath the sheer walls of the mountains and the cold dark sea, the shadows were deepest and thickest in the world; and there in Avathar, secret and unknown, Ungoliant had made her abode. The Eldar knew not whence she came; but some have said that in ages long before she descended from the darkness that lies about Arda, when Melkor first looked down in envy upon the Kingdom of Manwë, and that in the beginning she was one of those that he corrupted to his service. But she had disowned her Master, desiring to be mistress of her own lust, taking all things to herself to feed her emptiness; and she fled to the south, escaping the assaults of the Valar and the hunters of Oromë, for their vigilance had ever been to the north, and the south was long unheeded. Thence she had crept towards the light of the Blessed Realm; for she hungered for light and hated it. The Silmarillion posted:A cloak of darkness she wove about them when Melkor and Ungoliant set forth; an Unlight, in which things seemed to be no more, and which eyes could not pierce, for it was void. The Silmarillion posted:Then the Unlight of Ungoliant rose up even to the roots of the Trees, and Melkor sprang upon the mound; and with his black spear he smote each Tree to its core, wounded them deep, and their sap poured forth as it were their blood, and was spilled upon the ground. But Ungoliant sucked it up, and going then from Tree to Tree she set her black beak to their wounds, till they were drained; and the poison of Death that was in her went into their tissues and withered them, root, branch, and leaf; and they died. And still she thirsted, and going to the Wells of Varda she drank them dry; but Ungoliant belched forth black vapours as she drank, and swelled to a shape so vast and hideous that Melkor was afraid. The Silmarillion posted:Together they went on, for Morgoth could not elude Ungoliant, and her cloud was still about him, and all her eyes were upon him; and they came to those lands that lay north of the Firth of Drengist. Now Morgoth was drawing near to the ruins of Angband, where his great western stronghold had been; and Ungoliant perceived his hope, and knew that here he would seek to escape from her, and she stayed him, demanding that he fulfil his promise.

When talking about varying body types in over watch you're also forgetting about Zarya who's swole as hell and Orisa, who is centaur robot. Also Pharah and Brigitte are both always fully armored so I don't think there's really much of an issue with them either. I mean, I'm not going to say the game doesn't have it's fanservice and loves it's skin tight bodysuits (hell my av is of a character that pretty much wears an anime plug suit AND has a goth cat girl outfit) but going by the depressingly low standards of the industry, it really seems fine.
