I fully agree with this. Add an androgenous option for humans and people can make feminine men and tomboys. It would also be nice to have some slimmer, prettier elf males.
Given all the pandering Blizzard does to the gender fluidity crowd, I’d be surprised if they didn’t do this. They could make some Blackrock bucks from it surely?
They’ve never given races a choose between bodytype. So in that regard I doubt it.
Best we got that’s kind of related is the hunched/non-hunched orc bodies.
Hmmm, Dictionaries are big, but you may have a very special edition?? raises eyebrows
Seriously though, academics need to be pretty strong, those text books are pretty hefty, and carting them about with you, well that results in quite a bit of unintentional muscle definition.
Doesn’t help that I am diddy in stature, so my bag looks massive compared to me, and I looked like I was lugging a body about…
Oh the nostalgia…so ruddy glad to know it’s all over now!!! (grins)
Oh I absolutely agree… personally, I’d love to be able to have a more gender-neutral option for my worgen for example.
Currently using the female model to play a male presenting character which works somewhat, but I still have to pretend in my head that the char isn’t as curvy or busty as shown.
A few races have that vast gap inbetween how the female and model is built in terms of body.
Tauren, worgen, draenai, orks, to name a few.
Since you dont have access to sliders or similar, its sometimes choosing one or the other extreme and you either get very broad shoulders and something thats very clearly meant to be masculine, or something with wide hips, bigger bust and soft expressions to look more feminine or matronly.
Not having a compromise somewhere in the middle kinda hurts in terms of expression but im not entirely sure how they could do it.
Either it would take making a new model for each race that is a middle ground, or alternatively they could let you use the existing models as well as slightly altered versions perhaps (such as less visible cleavage) and pick them regardless of what gender you want your char to identify as and make that a separate option.
Basically body type selection detached from gender identity, male, female, nonbinary, etc.
