Life Is A Circus and I Am The 🤡!

Hell, there’s a number of people who are using body type 2 for male characters and they don’t erp at all.

Alright. So what about the breasts?
You can’t deny the breasts. Body-2 has breasts. Males have not. If a Body-2 tells me he’s a man in the roleplay, i wouldn’t buy it. Why? Because breasts.

If he plays a dude with breasts, however, then we’re back in goldshire again.

Oh…I get to hear my combat grunts in a different sound…yay?

In roleplay text is pretty much the thing that is the most important, positioning and such being secondary. It often takes quite a bit of imagination, and that includes for instance not acknowledging limitations of the models. Tattoos for instance are a thing that we cannot decide all the way we like. We have some options, and that is only on some races. So imagination that the model might not be fully accurate is very much needed. People also oftentimes get artwork done for their characters, and even if the gameplay model has said features, the art can show the character as it is meant to be.

However, people still try to make the models as close to how it is meant to be as possible. And having a more fitting voice? Certainly helps with it too.

Guess we’re not talking about dwarfes here.

So it’s easier to think away the hourglass figure and breasts of a woman than the muscles of a man with a proper transmog or the ears of a male elf?

I don’t know, man. That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Body 2 is a woman (don’t let Blizzard gaslight you lol) and that’s what I would see all the time, even with as much imagination as I have.

So… a bad costume choice, yeah.

[Renvyn-tarren-mill]

I’m hoping this means new voice sets, like Human Male 1 - 4. If it’s only that you can have Bergitta, the Kul Tiran shot putter with deep growling voice… lol. I guess if someone wants to have an annoying clown character.

[Alythena-ravencrest]

they will just make kul tiran males with beard going around saying daddy chill, it will be used to troll

and if this is what blizzard thinks is important then idk maybe im getting too old

i just think theres more pressing matters to try improve on the game than change voices of characters thats all

For a good number of people? Yes. Even irl you have a number of guys you have a more feminine looking silhouette. I’m not talking about breasts here or something, but still.
For instance if you want to play a lean draenei guy, the body 2 option will probably be closer to what you are after even though things like breasts are a thing.

It is pretty much subjective, yeah. Honestly I feel like the best way for them to do it is to actually create new models, even if they are basically just the old ones with stuff like chest customization which would be helpful for the reasons you mentioned above.

I am simply saying that the closer people are to what their character is supposed to look like, the happier they’d be. Even now many do it, and they still have the female voice.

Also sorry for the few days late reply.
