Can you do something about character model ?

from Elemental Forums

I love the graphic, i love the creature, i love the enviroment , i love item...........

But sadly i must say i can't love the look of character . espcially the female model, I find the model look stiff and look not even a bit "sensual"(sorry feminst, dont' bash me)

When i see at the loadding scene, or the site i see so many picture typical beautiful fantasy style ( non chainmail bikini type- just kidding), then when in game i have to see their ...."not so perrty" model , it quite bug me since the day of WOM

To be honest i think that even a 2d model of the paladin lady in Majesty is much more pretty than the lady in Fallen Enchantress, and yes, the paladin lady in Majesty  wear full armor from head to toe

I really hope StarDock can do somthing about it

 

PS: English is not my native language, if someone find something i say is offen, please forgive me

On the one hand, yeah the graphics when close up (like in the char screen) are not very high quality.

On the other hand, she's supposed to be some kind of undead / wraith thing right ? I don't think it's bad that not every undead/demon/fallen w/e female lead is a super hottie like Sylvanas or something :D

 

So, I understand your point but it also doesn't really bother me.

I really like the character models as they are.  They match the other graphic aesthetics and fits in with the whole style.  I really hope Stardock leaves them alone.

Improving them would come at the cost of performance, and 95% of the game is played zoomed out so far you can't tell the difference.

Not worth the resources/time.

Agreement with CogBurn, though I'd like to see better faces and hair styles in the sovereign and race designers, and (if possible, without sacrificing much) a higher resolution.

Sorry That i disagree, i'm not the technican type, but i do know that you can easily change the impression of a character by change their body tone, the wide & height of body part like shoulder, waist, hip....etc. You don't need HD texture to do that

For example, if you want to show that man is strong , make his shoulder wider, His chest bigger, ,.....etc

Now let see about the model of FE , take a female model without wear any robe, dress, what did we see...... the lower part look quite okay, but the upper part..... it look more like a man chest than a woman breast. You see the problem in here is the clothe , it look stiff , straight from head to toe, it pretty much cover every shape, curve of the body . In my opinion , Stardock just need to change a bit about the shape of the body & how that body look with robe or armor on it
