What the heck is wrong with Kassandra's body?

[Master Blaster]

Seriously this chest armor makes her seem but ugly, did Ubisoft just reskin the Kassandra and Alexios model without taking the time to make the meshes really unique? cause seriously this is not how a woman with Kassandra's figure should look, I know ubisoft can create female bodies so this just screams them not wanting to anger a small minority of people, god I should have taken Alexios instead, at least then looking at a man chest would make sense.

Also like to point out that I purposely left the top of her head cut out of the picture to show how much she looks like a guy in drag.

Shes a pretty woman, however I was dissapointed because for a muscular woman, she is very skinny. Her body is petite like a toothpick. Muscular sure, but its like she was malnourished as a kid or something because her feminine figure is pretty non-existent. ex. (Convex hips bone structure not apparent, Shes doesnt have any muscle, shes just really toned... at times I do find it hard to distinguish her body from a pubescent boy starting track season in high school.

But thats just me... my input is only input. Not saying she still isnt pretty. Probably out of my league tbh.

Considering she was raised poor on Kephallonia, yeah she was probably malnourished as a kid. You have to remember the game uses the whole "the misthios is a descendant of the Isu" excuse to explain away why she's so strong.

Anyway, to the topic at hand, of course she looks weird in armor, she's wearing man's armor because she's like 7 feet tall. It's not tailored to her, this is actually a totally sensible in-game explanation. Look at any tall woman basketball player like Rebecca Lobo, they all have "mannish" figures just like Kassandra. It's what happens when a woman is tall and athletic.

More bothered with how most armor deforms when characters move. Having a thing breast plate be stretched and bend when someone move their arms is definitely not a 2019 level of expectations. But eventually you don't notice this anymore, it's just makes a worse first impression.

Kassandra is the goddess of small breasts, i think everything is fine at her :p

Less body fat usually means smaller breasts too, especially in a time before implants. It makes sense for Kassandra.

Ya I hear you OP. Not a fan of the female characters looking like they play middle linebacker for the Los Angeles Raiders. Unfortunately due to the current politically correct climate, its a crime to celebrate or admire the traditional female form.

I miss the old days of Mass Effect 2 & 3 where the females had nice curves.

[BOWSER]

All of the playable AC woman tower over the NPC men and make them look short. Evie from Syndicate and Kassanadra from Odyssey.

Everyone here who say play Alexios are totally not making sense, since this game's scripts are designed for Kassandra. When you play Alexios, you will feel like he is a woman.

Y'all say this every time a woman looks like Kassandra (or doesn't have sufficiently "Nice curves") but it's totally untrue. Did you forget about:

-Darksiders 3

-Iconoclasts

-Fortnite

-Final Fantasy XV

-Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 1/2

-Devil May Cry 5

-Witcher 3

-RDR2

-Nier: Automata

There are so many games featuring the sort of women y'all seem to want yet you conveniently forget about them every time you want to criticize progressivism.

Cheaper development is what happened to Kassandra's body. Otherwise the devs would have to do double amount of work with armor models and animations.

Still, I'm glad they have two main characters - wouldn't buy a game without a female protagonist (or at least a "mod" to transform like DLC in Shadow of War/Mordor). And the story of brother/sister is actually more dramatic than any solo protagonist (or parent/child pair) could ever be.

Too many people expect all the female warriors in games like this to look like somebody out of a Boris Vallejo poster (look him up, if you're not familiar). I figure it this way...the larger a woman's chest is, which seems to be what most men want, the less likely it would be that a female warrior could wield much more than a couple of daggers, based on nothing more than pure physics.

I mean think about it: Pamela Anderson wielding a greatsword and attempting to sweep it from left to right. Does one not think that a couple of things will be in the way most of the time? Of course they would. Same with a Vallejo battle maiden: not only did his women wear next to nothing (which is precisely what their "armor" would protect...next to nothing), but they had two things that would have been in the way of just about any weapon larger than a short sword.

Also also, most women are not Pamela Anderson, nor are they Boris Vallejo models. Most women are shaped more like Kassandra, with variations. Kassandra kicks ass, and she is able to do so because she is shaped like a woman warrior would logically be shaped. Otherwise, she'd have to do what the Amazonian women mythically had to do, which was to chop one or both of those puppies off in order to get it/them out of the way of their sword-swinging ability.

Lots of people will say, "No, Kassandra is shaped the way she is because of progress/feminism/etc," to which I say maybe a little bit, but otherwise feh. If you're a guy, strap a couple of basketballs to your chest, and see how difficult it is to swing a broom handle or just about anything without them being in the way. Simple physics, and logic.

Oh no, an athletic woman has an athletic woman's body type. The horror.

I'm not sure why people on here trolled the OP like little SJW ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. He was telling the truth. Its the same body as Alexios. She should not be that flat.

If no one ever explained it to you, boobies are made of fat and strong women often lose breast size when they gain muscle or lose weight.

Dude stop damage controlling everything I say. One thread you say this not supposed to be accurate and then in this one you are defending the fact that Kassandra has the same chest size as Alexios. Its completely rediculous.

I don't pay attention to who writes posts, if I've disagreed with you in other threads, it's because you were wrong in those threads as well.

Also, she doesn't have the same body as Alexios. First, Kassandra was the default character and Alexios was added later in development, so if anything were true, he'd have her body. Yet that's not true, either, because she does have some breasts, they're just not huge.

Think Xena, warrior princess, DUH

What really? Where is your source for this information?

I don't have the articles on hand anymore but it was spoken about when the game released and was common knowledge at that time. You could probably find articles on it if you did some googling.
