Bulge size options for character creation.

It is a fact. It happens in reality. For many reasons. Rarely, but often enough for there being guides on how to increase the bottoms size in a similar fashion to slimming diets.

I think you're being way too serious and way too emotional in a light-hearted thread that is about fake, pixel butts and fake, pixel bulges in a fake, pixel video game. Calm down, jeez.

Seconded this tbh.



Our butts are pancake butts.

I'm surprised my character doesn't slide right out of her chair when she sits. There's nothing there to hold her in the seat.

If it's "unrealistic" to expect a muscular, visibly present butt on a character who slays primals and liberated countries for a living... well, then I happily ask for an "unrealistic butt".

I mean, it's about packages and rears. In a video game. Though it ties into the larger demand for more character customization options, at the end of the day this is a topic that wasn't started for someone like you to come in and start seriously debating whether or not it's necessary based on real-world examples and feelings. I appreciate your passion but can we all calm down a bit and just agree that in a perfect game we could have our ideal bumps in all the right places?

Apparently...

Technically speaking, it's not about rears. The thread was finely derailed a while ago, before I even posted here.

First, it was not for people to talk about behinds either. Second, I'm not debating whether or not it's necessary based on real world examples and feelings. Heck, it cannot even be called a "debate" when only one side responds to the arguments of the other, while that other side completely ignores everything else.

Can you PLEASE read what I wrote or not respond to me?! How many and in how different ways do I have to repeat this.
I am not talking about the graphics.
Let's write that again, because it's been missed three or four times by now.
I am NOT talking about the GRAPHICS.

Alright?!

So, what I am talking about?! I've already written that, but here it is again.

I am talking about the choice of words. About ENGLISH LANGUAGE. In particular, about a choice of word that is simply incorrect from a biological stand point.

Irrelevant. It would be relevant if I was against changing the default texture to a more typical, "existing" buttocks. I have several times now said that I am NOT against it. What I am against is connecting that change to a false reasoning. Consider this. If Thief A is charged with stealing 300 dollars from mister A while Thief B is charged with stealing 300 dollars from mister B, but in reality Thief A stole from mister B and Thief B stole from mister A, both thieves will receive "just punishment"...but it will still be a punishment for a different crime than the one they committed. They will be obliged to return money to the wrong person.

Seeming irrelevant, but world is not a void. Just like one of them may return money while the other will not and the one that will have issues will be the wrong person, a change done for the wrong reason feeds wrong cases. It will be a win for people advocating something fundamentally wrong which MAY, in the long run, lead to absurd changes in a completely different place.

The video game is not fake, just digital. Not that it really matters, besides this being the same kind of problem of a misuse of a word.

That being said, I am serious not in relation to the video but to the posters. The case I am making in this thread relates to very real humans behind very real keyboards and monitors using very real words to share very real ideologies. If you took a moment and paid attention to what I've really been writing you'd notice that. Not necessarily agree with me (heck, yer average person would bring the "language is an evolving thing" argument against what I've been writing here which), but that's another thing entirely.

You completely reversed the case along with its mistake...Seriously?!

It is REALISTIC for someone to have flat butt AND it is REALISTIC for someone to have a finely curved butt...and it is realistic to have a butt that is the size of half the body (yes, I personally know a person like that).

I'm not defending flat butts in a video game. But I won't repeat the same thing yet again...

Unless I mistook something and people find it "fun" to complain about something that shouldn't even be a problem to begin with since this game should never lack the front and back shapes to begin with. But it does for whatever unfathomable reason the developers had to make such a choice.


All in all...seriously...Two pages and no virtually no one even actually did read a single thing from what I said...That's...disheartening.

Please, tell me, how your response having nothing to do with what I said...NOTHING...somehow affects how relevant or irrelevant everything else I posted is?!

Is this thread going to become irrelevant if I'll say that "Miqo'te are cats." which have zero to do with anything else whatsoever in here?!


...Well, whatever. I cannot expect anyone to go back and actually take time to reread my posts and try to understand granted them being rather lengthy. It's clear that at this point that the only responses I can expect are just going to refute anything I write without any reason or logic to it, just to disagree. Suit yourselves, believe what you will.

So...what exactly are you arguing for? Semantics, the evolution of the English Language, or feelings?



This thread is supposed to be humorous. We’re talking about giving virtual characters butts. And bulges, or whatever. In a video game. Where we come to have fun. Kind of like how people were having fun in this thread. But I guess fun is banned.

You’re still being way too serious and too emotional. Step away from the keyboard and come back tomorrow when you’re calmer. And when you can stop abusing the “?!” punctuation marker.

See, I read your responses. They were simply far too pedantic that it reduced your argument down to essentially complaining about complaining. Does it matter if someone calls it "unrealistic" instead of "not the norm" or "unlikely?" No. It really doesn't. Unless you're very easily offended, in which case, we refer back to the picture.

It's miqo'te. Please spell it right.

It's technically unrealistic to have everyone's butt's and bulges that are not the norm.

A slider that gave people a wide range would be more realistic as there are a wide range of butt's. Also, flat butts with no muscle tone, while also somehow having wide hips is still unrealistic (Size of butts depends on the hips you have as well, and our characters don't have the butt's to match their hip type, I mentioned hip to butt ratios in an earlier post), based on how much our characters sprint, how much jumping they do, and how much heavy armour they wear. There's a reason why people who want bigger butt's do exercise.

Female Roegadyns and highlanders have muscletone, and very muscled legs, but no butt's to go with it! Unrealistic.

Also having absolutely nothing there for men in terms of bulge is unrealistic, sure there might theoretically be birth defects and genetic defects that result in a man having no reproductive organs, but everyone being like that? Unrealistic.

I'm not gonna respond to the rest anymore, because that's pointless. But I can respond to this. And the response is...I won't. For certain reasons I use that punctuation marker whenever writing a question because it does actually signify the tone in which I do ask questions in real life. Though, I do suppose, that at times my use of it may be correct in my language but not necessarily in English. Unfortunately these differences are hard to avoid.

Oh. Someone actually did read it carefully it seems, since yes, what I wrote may be considered pedantic. I'll just settle at this point on "agree to disagree" on whether it's "complaining just to complain" though. Still, this did actually make me feel a bit better about this whole discussion, so thanks for that.
