You guys have been sold a load of ******** by the typical "anti-SJW" crowd because they're too cowardly to call out the fact that video games suck because minorities & women are making them.
People make up entire conspiracy theories to avoid admitting women make **** video games.
The people peddling this theory cannot actually explain why these studios keep getting shut down if they have so much funding available to them for hiring minorities & women. Seems like something that wouldn't happen?
But there are ALSO devs who just pay lip service (like Square Enix and Capcom) and don't really believe this ********, unlike devs like Insomniac.

Personally? Huge difference.
One instance is someone who does because they think this is what people want. Once they learn it's not, they will put way less time and effort to it.
The other instance is a true believer who will push this agenda for as long as they are employed, ignoring the financial cost. Those people will keep making bad games, no matter the result.
Also, Capcom had black people in their games since the 90s.
I remember people going through every post on this thread when ser Aylin spazz happened. Almost feel sorry for those seething discord ******** trying to fish for info in this 100+ page thread.

But there are ALSO devs who just pay lip service (like Square Enix and Capcom) and don't really believe this ********, unlike devs like Insomniac.

The number of great creative women in the scene was always low, because gaming had low social capital. Some industry veterans like Amy Hennig existed (and were great writers). However, when gaming blew up and became a multi-billion dollar industry, they started hiring like crazy, studios expanded, and they needed HR teams, of course! The social stigma no longer existed, and a bunch of disinterested people entered the industry. Some for money and some because they actively hated gamers and wanted to make a change.
The latter browbeat the former and took over a lot of studio cultures. This is why you saw changes at Blizzard between 2000 and 2011, which went from "all Orcs are manly and violent" and "all women have giant knockers in bikinis" to "Thrall is a gentle shaman." And don't get me started on today!
Add to that, they steadily purged all of the old developers who weren't down with the program, until all they had left were genuine believers and the sexpests willing to go along to be around "gamer girls" (who were summarily executed in 2021, thus purging the studio of its last genuine talents).

The idea was that women were somehow being excluded, rather than the fact that there simply was not enough talented women to fill the roles. Once gamergate rolled around, they started hiring any woman no matter how incompetent. It's how Obsidian, once known for writing some of the best stories to ever be featured in video games, ended up with three female writers as their major writers β who only previously wrote Young Adult novels.SniperChris wrote: β August 13th, 2024, 11:49The number of great creative women in the scene was always low, because gaming had low social capital.

I've always wanted to be a game dev. If it's really that easy to get hired by a company then.... That's very interesting.
I hate the Antichrist!
At the end of the day problem is hiring is based on equity and not meritocracy. The moment everything became about race, gender and sexuality instead of merit everything went to ****.rusty_shackleford wrote: β August 13th, 2024, 11:55The idea was that women were somehow being excluded, rather than the fact that there simply was not enough talented women to fill the roles.

I'm pretty sure you'd in rare instances there would be 5 ppl in a garage making some game and if one of them happened to be a ****** or a woman it wouldn't matter because they'd have been passionate and talented enough to be included in the development instead of being shoehorned for diversity's sake.

Maxim 14: "Mad Science" means never stopping to ask "what's the worst thing that could happen?"
Hi.
Is there a mod that makes the male more muscular and wide framed? Kinda crazy they didn't just add a slider for how big you could be. Mods for buff body seem to be for Body Type 4 only and I don't know how that interacts with this.
example mod

Edit: Nevermind, after getting a mod to reopen the original character create, I see I missed the "MS" option for a taller, bulkier guy. I guess I didn't notice the difference originally because I was zoomed in on the face and it was late at night, so just ignored this 3rd gender option. But this MS option works fine. Thanks.

Yeah I'm all for masculine muscular men in medieval fantasy settings, but there's no way someone would look like Arnold Schwarzenegger unless this someone was an orc or something like that.
Male body already looks over too buffed and doesn't make sense for Tav who wants to roleplay as a skinny homeless Rogue or a nerd Wizard surviving on Taco Bell specials and Coca-Cola Zero. Strong male body looks like a ******* LG fridge and I've no idea who finds it attractive, Larian's feminists aside. Why not add sliders like normal people? They didn't even bother giving companions some unique rigs, Astarion on a rat diet and Gale not seeing gym look absolutely the same it's ridiculous.Faceless_Sentinel wrote: β August 14th, 2024, 22:51Here's another example of an extreme.

Not sure why you're taking this as an opportunity to start an argument, especially with the most extreme. There's plenty of big muscular guys that aren't on drugs and even have some body fat, see people like Derrick Lewis in the UFC, that I imagine could be possible if you cared about realism but isn't possible here. You can see heavyweight guys that come from Dagestan in isolated mountain villages that don't have visible muscle definition/striation but physically large and you can tell have muscles.Faceless_Sentinel wrote: β August 14th, 2024, 22:51Here's another example of an extreme.

I guess in some reflection, even the default guy is surprisingly jacked, but that's probably because they made all the characters look good because normal people like good looking characters. I am looking for broader shoulders and taller, even if the same muscularity as default or worse.
If I missed such an option in character creation with this mod enabled then my bad, and I hope someone lets me know.

Are you seriously comparing modern day bodybuilders and athletes to middle age warriors? Men who builds muscles every day with diet, regime and everyday trainings to men who survive in wild with sword, crossbow and armor and their diet is what they hunt today? Do you seriously believe that the second group of men can have muscle relief like the screenshots you attached in the original post? ****, I wish I could be so out of touch with reality.JimboJambo wrote: β August 15th, 2024, 07:02There's plenty of big muscular guys that aren't on drugs and even have some body fat, see people like Derrick Lewis in the UFC, that I imagine could be possible if you cared about realism but isn't possible here.

As for your question: mod you listed should not have problem with No Alpabets, but it's not certain.
A well-paid barbarian mercenary may well have a body pretty close to that. A wizard though? No, absolutely not.
Dark Urge might also become pretty built. The Chosen of Baal lives in a pretty comfy situation (compare Orin's sleeping quarters) and certainly train a lot considering their whole professional murderer angle.
Races like half-orcs who tend towards physical brawn are even more likely to have wider frames, which is why the wrinkly, undernourished bodies they have are so odd. The size of their heads clash terribly with the rest.
Of course that goes out the window if your backstory is poverty or classes that don't need lots of musculature.
Edit: If you're still in disbelief I encourage you to look up what kind of bodies medieval warriors like the romans and greeks cultivated. Yes, their peasants looked like stick figures but the actual warriors, gladiators (the good ones at least) and other assorted hard labourers were built as ****.
Gladiators in particular are an interesting case: those who entered the profession willingly through a gladiatorial school and actually excelled could pick up a rich patron and live very well.
Those who were slaves or failures were treated like ****, of course. But that's not relevant in this particular discussion since anyone in the BG3 party is actually supposed to be good at what they're doing.

Yes, their peasants looked like stick figures but the actual warriors, gladiators (the good ones at least) and other assorted hard labourers were built as ****.

That absolutely requires steroids. You don't see anyone at your gym who looks like this and isn't juicing.
This is what the Romans(1st century AD) thought of Hercules:

This is Hackenschmidt, the world's first heavyweight wrestling champion, in 1905:

He's getting kinda close to the first picture, but his bodyfat is much higher. It would probably be impossible to retain his muscle mass while cutting. Not without some juice, anyways.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The reason modern body builders and the like lose muscle mass while cutting fat is because the body likes to cannibalize muscles it perceives as being superfluous.Those can be turned into nutrients and save energy needed for their upkeep at the same time.rusty_shackleford wrote: β August 15th, 2024, 14:03It would probably be impossible to retain his muscle mass while cutting.

If you actually have to fight and train for your life that doesn't happen nearly as fast or at all, as long as we assume proper nutrition is maintained of course.
The reason your wrestling champ, for example, has disproportionately thick thighs but comparatively normal arms is because those muscle portions aren't used as much in his main training area (that being wrestling).
If we're seriously discussing whether the musculature in those mods is healthy or practical I'd be much more concerned about his water intake than body fat. Unlike women who mostly build up subcutaneous fat men generally store fat between the organs before the fat cells start getting built up outwards.
