Half Orcs are basically just goblins
What's up with this? Humans and Elves have the option of being giant herculean superheroes, but Half Orcs are literally just ugly versions of the small body shape. I put the Half Orc hireling next to my Elf and they look like a goblin by comparison.

Is this a Forgotten Realms specific thing? I always thought Half Orcs were meant to be big.

Half orcs use the larger body shape it could be because half orcs are hunched over.

There should be a bigger option for them tho.

Almost none of the non-human races look quite right in this, to be fair, not just the half-orcs.

- Elves just use the human model when they should be lithe and shorter. The buff body for them shouldn't even exist, but they had to shove Halsin in for the reprobates.

- Drow women (sorry, body type ones) should be taller than men (erm, body type twos).

- Dwarves, halflings, and gnomes all have wrong proportions. Halflings especially look very off.

- The gith are way too gangly. They should be gaunt, but not THAT gaunt.

Meanwhile the scaly bait gets the most detail and customization options, and plain looks more detailed than the rest who weren't touched up at all since 2020.

Drow sizes were contested in the FR lore, last I checked. However, I'm pretty sure BG3 drow are too tall.

Yeah, Half Orcs and Dragonborn only have Large body type.

Though because Dragonborn don't have breasts, you can pick the female body type, give it a penis and male voice, use male pronouns and pretend they're using the smaller body.
