Curse

I used to play this game on Gamecube... Phantasy Star Online. One of my favorites to this day, though it's no longer "Online" through Gamecube servers... But anyway, When you design your character, you have the option of not only making your character as tall or short as you want, but also as fat or skinny as you want, from eating disorder skinny, to severely obese fat. I think that would be an AWESOME option to have in GW

There would be so much more variety in our characters and there wouldn't be this entire world of anorexic/muscular people running around. Granted, GW isn't exactly meant to be realistic, but come on, what un/realistic world has people like that? I mean, you probably won't see a ton of obese people running around with that option added, but people can then make their characters whatever skinniness/fatness they like

Sorry if something like this was already mentioned here...

Ugly and overweight people saving the world in an epic quest? Get out of here!

While you add the body mass slider, add a slider also for character attitude. I'm SO SICK of my characters acting all goody-good and heroic all the time. We totally need chat options!

LOL! Right? Some of the dialougue really is totally cheesy...

Oukanna · Nov 19, 2007, 10:29 PM // 22:29

I wish i was as skinny as my ele xDDD

Though the dialogue can get cheeesy teehee

Mmmm maybe a slight bulk builder or something would be good, instead of an all scale body modification thing.

TwinRaven · Nov 19, 2007, 11:28 PM // 23:28

Body mass is addressed pretty well in some games by design of modification. Oblivion might take this a little too far, but you can really customize the look of your toon! I just bought Hellgate: London (not really enjoying it, but plan on finishing at least one character before tossing it...$50 pile of steamy poo)...*ahem* Anyway, it allows you to adjust height and weight..."robustness". Unreal has always allowed modification in the extreme...though, only visible to you. Having this variety of body-types allows those who want to represent themselves, role play or just get away from "Barbie" to have some options. Personally, I made my Hellgate toon as short and fat as the game would let me...still pissed the filter would not let me use the word black...Maggie Blackthorn became Maggie Darkthorn...Anywho, the options to make a short, robust, dark-skinned woman with bright red hair...imho, is something we should all be able to do.
A tall skinny, scarecrow-like figure would be awesome for a necro...a short fat hammer warrior, cool...a monk built like Friar Tuck? think on it! A rolly-polly earth elementalist with red hair (Sun Meiser-style)...a frumpy short, pudgy dervish...wellllll...ok, maybe not. But still...the options would be a nice addition to the game./end ramble

Must have fat bald male monk! MUST HAVE! With a jug offhand, w00t?

Queenie · Nov 20, 2007, 05:16 AM // 05:16

I'd like to see a severely obese female monk with love handles.

VanDamselx · Nov 20, 2007, 05:38 AM // 05:38

Oh no, not this thread again. I haven't noticed a thing.

Vinraith · Nov 20, 2007, 05:41 AM // 05:41

What's always bothered me far more than body type is that ever character of a given gender sounds the same and says the same things. My necro would not sound like that.

sigh yall didnt know FoW armor come with a built in Corset. :P

Try a different resolution. Example, if your resolution has an aspect ratio of 16:10, try 4:3. Not 4:3 to 16:10.

I want the DnD alignment system, because I'm a Chaotic Evil player at heart, and I hate all the good actions our characters are forced into. As Weaver (the head of the Heroes' Guild in Fable) once said, it does not matter if they are good or evil, only that they are a hero for their cause.

Sakura Az · Nov 20, 2007, 06:58 AM // 06:58

hmm the size of some characters is kinda odd, i do make fun of warriors and monks i must say.. then again most of the time they make fun of me because my assassin is tiny, most of my guildmates pets are bigger than my sin. she is really skinny but it fits her cause she is so short.

an allignment would be pretty cool i think.. would make this a bit more rpgish which would be sweeet.

i dont know about ele, but sticky thin sin make sense though. if they are heavy they wont be able to do the backflip-while-u-slice-and-slash kind of stuff....

Wrong Device · Nov 20, 2007, 12:37 PM // 12:37

Eating sweets should make characters fat... ^^

Do not underestimate the power of fat. Fat assassins could shadow step to the target, then body slam them monks to death, daggers cannot compare to that.

And indeed, female Mesmer Primeval is a great set of armor, my Mesy loves it.

I don't speak nor understand much french but I love the french va's compared to the other languages so I always have everything on french. Give it a go. :P
Italian can be sort of entertaining too.
