Why are the companions so ugly?

[Mythical Ostrich]

Did they get blind people to design them?

I find the character as whole much better than BG3

[DaisyRay]

I think the characters are gorgeous. I plan to romance Neve in my second playthrough.

So none have boobs, none look particular well, most are a bit on the fatty side.
That way no one is offended.

you and i are seeing different things if you think none have boobs and all are fat. or you have a unrealistic expectation of what women look like in general lol.

I mean why are a part of an ugly demographic that extends to 80% of the planet? i would assume devs. wanted to include you aka. make you feel welcome for a change, but you know thats just my assumption and "average" is just a slick cushion for your fragile gamer egos.

Thats what happens when you make games like stellar blade, now the addicts need big tits, wide ass and skin tight outfit to look at or the game is woke.

T tend to not be physically beautiful, and they have to feel represented in everything including the portayal of animated fantasy characters. Make said characters ugly as sin, no impossible standard of comparison to make for the perspective tumblr enthusiast.

So I've seen a whole bunch of Rooks posted as well and most of them are ugly too. Maybe it's just the game and its artstyle, or character creator (for the player and NPCs) in general.

Doesn't matter, maybe just skip romance in this game. It feels like they use the same artstyle as team america.

Most players don't know how or are too lazy to create good looking characters even when having the tools do so, that's why the "pretty/handsome" sliders recipe and/or mod is a thing.

Most default human & elf look like they're an actor or model if we go by facial structure alone.

The character design team however has no excuse fumbling the companions when creating characters is literally their field of professional skills, their job.

90% of the women in this game look like men—at least the hair is nice. Seems like 60% of the budget went there.

90%? Neve, Bellara and Harding absolutely do not look like men. Taash is non-binary and does have a masculine appearance. The rest are men...

math doesnt add up

I was asking myself the same question. Elven girl are so ugly. I will wait for mod!

Taash remains female and has a feminine appearance, qunari are just huge.

i guess thats true - i could just see where they would be seen as more masculine or not feminine enough by the guy i was replying to
