Thread: Butt is flat again... Patch 5.15

It’s a metaphor to say that the butts in this game are pancakes. A metaphor is a direct comparison of two things; and this metaphor is hardly an exaggeration. They are extremely flat, and it makes female models with any bust size that’s not as equally flat disproportional and top-heavy. Some of the “larger” female races like Roegadyns and Highlanders are particularly egregious because the body proportions are so off. More “petite” races like Miqo’te and Au Ra can somewhat get away with it, but it’s still there and noticeable. I’ve thought the butts were flat literally the minute I started playing this game—before reading all the hubbub about it on forums.
