I had wanted to play as a highlander but I noticed even from the starting set of clothes, everything flares way out at the hips. It makes the char look like he has a huge behind. I remember in beta, that I leveled to 10 wearing no shirt at all because everything gave me a pear shape or worse. My quests rewarded me with this huge ugly salmon colored tunic that looked five sizes too big. I didn't know if I was supposed to be saving the world or watching Bridget Jones Diary with a quart of ice cream.

So I just ended up making a Thundercat char now that I have actually bought the game.

Ok, setup for the question is over. My question is, will all highlands males look like this in all armor throughout the game? All of their armor models less form fitting and more "I really need more pilates"?

I ended up going Thundercat mainly because he retrained a mostly normal body shape when viewing the artifact job armors in the char creator.
