Looking like a nightmare from hell is part of the fun and charm of TES Oblivion and Dark Souls.

Dragons Dogma 2 would be better srrved if the character creator let you make better looking pawns as peolme woulf be mote likely to use them and you'd get more bages which adds knowledge abouy the world, quests and enmies to help you along the way but as deep as the CC is, all you can make is masculine looking women who have little curves. You can't even make a good looking man in this game, all the bodies are Dad bodies. No athletes at all in a world where you have to be physically fit. 

Skill issue. My pawns were super hot.

Absolutely.

For instance, I find mouse from upcoming Hela to look quite bland:

As opposed to Quill from Moss, which oozes charm and character:

I find Tilo from Ghost of a Tale even more charming:

Artistically attractive? Yes.
Sexually attractive? Probably no in most cases. But obviously yes, if you’re desperate to pound off.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I rather drive a good looking, attractive car in GT7 than another grocery cart. I prefer the classics, oozing charm, even though they don't handle as well as modern machines. And when I have to drive less attractive cars to be competitive, I dress them up in the livery editor.

And sure, it's much easier to feel for attractive characters in games than not. It's a simple fact of biology / evolution. Doesn't have to be sexually attractive, charisma is what counts.

Concord flopped in part due to the 'ugly' characters.

I find it the opposite, if I see an ugliest character in a game it usually means identity politics is shoved in and that's a sign of ther prioritising stuff over making a quality game. Stellar Blade for example shows they know that their audience wants and are willing to give it, same with FF14, The Last decendant and more. They listen to the fans.

And it has nothing to do with porn, if people want porn they")) go for porn sites not games. It enhances the experience. I feel much better about fitting Geralt out with the best looking gear simply for the asteethics, something I wouldn't be into in the character model was ugly. In Stellar Blade it adds fun to explore or grind for outfits? Cause Eve's insanely hot. Wouldn't give a fuck about them if she wasn't.

Stellar blade MC looks like a sex doll, it's totally unappealing to my eyes. Everything about her screams "generic" lol. It's so different than 2B from Nier who while also sexualized has so much personality on her, she looks iconic and memorable the moment I put my eyes on her I knew the devs really thought in how to make an impression

A female character who is hot as fuck (and much prettier than Eve), but still cool looking is my girl Tifa. She has a revealing outfit, but it's fairly functional and doesn't scream "porn" to my face. She looks like someone who's ready to fight, not ready to takes her clothes off and film a sex scene

Tifa is rated nr 5th hottest video game character here

https://discover.hubpages.com/games-hobbies/hottest-female-video-game-characters

And nr 1 most popular cosplay character

https://www.watchmojo.com/articles/top-10-most-cosplayed-video-game-characters-of-all-time/link-princess-zelda


Not a porn star? I dare you to google Tifa hentai lol.

Bayonetta is nr 1 btw.

Would Tombraider have gotten as big without Lara Croft? (at nr 2)


And Princess Peach is in there as well ;)



Anyway dunno whether they actually improve games, they do improve sales however.

I've brought both Tifa and 2B in my post, and I was thinking on bringing in Lara too! Not dissapointed to see her in the top 5 as well

Lara, looks amazing in Shadow of Tombraider

Samus is also gorgeous, but the best about her is even though she's hot, Nintendo doesn't feel like they need to take her from her iconic armour to satisfy porn-addicted weirdos

As someone who have never spent a single penny on a cosmetic for a game and usually spend less than 5 min in a char creators it mostly unimportant to me. Overall artistic style of the game matter to me and in that sense the chars looks should make sense within the style they chose for the game but other then that mostly irrelevant to me.

Gameplay is king and when graphics impress me it mostly when looking at the world and scale. A lot of times when graphics wow me in past there not been a single char on the screen.

And what game is your go-to example for something that would have been improved by adding hotter characters? 

Dragons Dogma 2 would be better srrved if the character creator let you make better looking pawns as peolme woulf be mote likely to use them and you'd get more bages which adds knowledge abouy the world, quests and enmies to help you along the way but as deep as the CC is, all you can make is masculine looking women who have little curves. You can't even make a good looking man in this game, all the bodies are Dad bodies. No athletes at all in a world where you have to be physically fit. 

Also, Dragon Age VG's character creator. Playing as a good looking dude and then a hot women in my two playthroughs and improved the Romancing. I'd assume the same would be said for VG, I see you can make a hot man but you can't make a hot woman. Full female bodies are apparently not allowed. 

You must just suck at CC then, my pawn is in DD2 and my DATV character are both 👌👌👌
