we can agree on "female assasins should look sexier"

I don't know. Are real assassins really that sexy anyway? :P

Then again, I guess some are.

I know the male assassins should have better armor...

I think really what we all need is adjustable body types in the character creation screen, then all our problems would be washed away, like in that neurofen advert

The problem with having a Sims-style character creation system is the massive amount of resources it would take.

Right now, there's what, a few hundred different face, hair, combos, etc? If each one was potentially unique the storage space required balloons.

Actually no.. right now there are only like say 16 faces to choose from, and a similarly numbered amount of hair styles, and same for skin colour.

Sounds like a lot of storage requirements right?

Wrong.

They can use freaking 5 bits to represent your face, another 5 bits for the skin colour, etc.. your entire character right now can be expressed in little more than the storage requirements of an integer (4 bytes)

Suddenly makes your argument moot doesn't it?

well, yes the assassin is a bit too skinny, but that doesn't mean they have to get larger boobs or anything, anyway assassins and ninjas and all those were skinny, small and tiny creatures, they had a very low weight and could move fast and silent, they could jump high and all that stuff, so i think anet is just trying to be a bit realistic and have some differences in the game...

I dont know how to respond to that other than rofl. Yes, we all demand you Arena Net make all female assassins have female mesmer bodies so they can look good while beating up the poor warmo.

comparatively to ^(above image posted)her proportions.it is just right. she is still more curvy than the current fem. assassin playable charac.

like many have suggested. "abit more meat would do" on the current one. (ie. Nika in the Cine would be perfect) (and of course no need for the extreme DOA style body models.) xD.

/g'day.

Simply put: to make her look cuter.

If memory serves her personality was meant to be more coy and teasing, almost child-like and having a pair of bouching DDs doesn't seem to mix well with that kind of character...I donno.

Just my two cents.

The characters in Guild Wars use a very long head to body ratio. Their heads are just too small to match the length of their bodies. The perfect example of this are the character's necks. Its just way way way too long. Same with the torso and the stomach. This elongation makes the assasin look even skinnier.

more on etna:

Etna

Age: 1470
Class: Demon (Vassal)
Recommended Weapon: Spear or Axe

Etna is one of the few who remain in the Overlord's Castle after King Krichevskoy's death. In the beginning, she attempted to wake up Laharl...using various means to do so. From then on, Etna became Laharl's closest vassal (though isn't always very trustworthy), aiding him in his rise to power.

Etna acts carefree, but is also very devious. Often times, it's hard to tell who she really is working for. She also has deep respect and loyalty towards King Krichevskoy. Etna is often known for ending an episode with an odd preview to the next episode, which is often times a parody of TV shows.

I've seen worse choices for assassin looks. The assassins are fine as they are!
