Geralt looks kinda....off?

[zrqm]

This is for anyone that's been watching the livestreams, or gameplay. Does Geralt look kinda weird to you, body proportion-wise? It seems like his shoulders are very wide while his legs are very narrow, reminds me of a guitar hero character. When he runs it looks kinda weird too. I'm kinda nitpicking but I was wondering if anyone else noticed.

I had the same impression when I first saw the "Killing monsters" trailer.... and it's still there

I think it's more that the pauldrons (shoulder armour) add a fair bit of bulk to him. You find a screenshot of him topless or just something thinner, like a normal shirt, and the proportions seem normal.

Yes his torso looks entirely too long.

Thanks, Consoles.

And as we've mentioned; that default armour you see him in in most of the promo stuff and on the cover-art adds a fair bit of bulk to his shoulders while adding little to no bulk to his lower body.

Yeah watching another stream now without it I can see it was that armor.

There's nothing too disproportionate about how Geralt is rendered. The human body comes in many different sizes. Some people have broader shoulders than hips and legs, it's called an mesomorphic body type. Often said to be the athletic looking kind.

I didn't mean compared to other humans(or witchers) I mean in comparison the the second game mostly.

All the human characters are rendered like cartoons, big shoulders, big hands and thin legs.

The human body may come in different sizes, but body proportions are ALWAYS the same. Like if you stretch out your arms left to right and measure them from left to right it will measure your actual height.

He looks like the Mr. Stretch toy.

Too narrow at the hips.

He looks fine in the stream I just watched where he doesnt have that armor set on. He also doesn't have those crazy clunky boots on.
