Why are human males so.. Ugly?

[Dave]

The faces we get to make human male characters are just... bleh... not very attractive.

Apparently they're modeled after real people

Yeah, I'd have to agree. It's pretty much most of the male faces from all the races are just god awful.

The women are good looking though. Although, I'm gay. So I prefer playing male characters.

I find this hilarious coming from a guy.
Male faces are fine. Stop being hyper critical about ♥♥♥♥. Neither gender is a problem atm given that it's in Early Access. The devs will likely include more options on 1.0 release and even if they don't mods are a thing....

...but honestly there's nothing wrong with what we got now. Just because it doesn't perfectly match your preferences/taste doesn't mean it's ugly. It's just not your thing. There is a difference.

I am not gay. I never play a female. I always play a dude after a girl.... call me boring like that.
:D

Yeah i don't like em either, I don't know if its because i find em ugly per say. But i basically always play women because of it.

Jeez, of course there will be some "extra info" in the thread that has no relation to the matter at hand.

the simple truth is "beauty" ("ugliness") is a subjective thing to begin with. There's no way it's possible to please everybody unless it's an enormous effort (and budgets) invested into characters design and thousands of options are available. See Korean/eastern MMOs for the reference.

But that's not BG3 way, the devs opted for a minimalistic approach to characters. Hence it's impossible to expect them having eye-candy faces. I personally consider all vanilla faces way below average, to put it mildly. But devs were not committing to satisfy everyone's "bar" of expectations.

P.S. If that is a deal-breaker, just install some character design mods. There are decent ones available.

Human are born ugly and die ugly. Whose to say what is in-between is any different.

Just mod in your own DDS files and look like you look.

Not true really, they could throw in sliders and allow character customization, but doing that would likely screw up all the coding they did on the endless cut scenes they want you to watch so you can admire the dirt everyone is covered in.

I can honestly say that at no time in any game have I ever looked at my character and thought he just wasn't pretty enough.

I am fine with replacing my image and character with a grey ooze blob.

Same... If only they would allow me to make a Fat thiefling, so I can be a Fat, Ugly, Horny devil...

Now that's what I'm talking about! Give me the ogre aesthetic I crave!

I really would have liked a more accurate halfling depiction not a hobbit style myself as it makes players less likely to use them.. and as such less mods get made for halflings..

Its frustrating.
