The Vicarious Visions guys are very capable from what we see in the game footage. Only the classes stand out like a sore thumb.

My conclusion is that this is dictated by ActiBlizz management and that's what I state in OP and YES this makes it political, I asked you several times: What would be the other reason for ActiBlizz to do this which you fail to answer.

Now I just added that:



Which makes it seem even MORE LIKELY that the Vicarious Visions guys have nothing to do with it cuz they'd be itching to just confirm a dodgy rendering if that was the case and state that it get fixed, EZ af --> The fans fixed it on the frikkin spot basically

How you can't see this simple logic is beyond me, you're just embarrassing yourself SMH

edit: You claiming that someone's simple feedback is offensive in laughable. If this was offensive the thread was closed on day 1
You, sir, are a complete joke



You never asked me several times what other reason they would do this. I'll start there:

Did you ever think they maybe recycled a character render to get the website up quickly? Honestly, the faces look the same on the Amazon and the Necro, so quite possible it's just a copy/paste for efficiency and is not final. This is my point. You're upset about something that is quite possibly a non-issue, but making about something you're so clearly offended by: The idea that it could be to make the Amazon look older? Or what exactly is your problem?

More personal attacks toward me? All good. You really think I'm upset by the rantings of a random on the internet that clearly has intolerant views and doesn't understand the inner-workings of videogame production enough to even think critically about why something might not be perfect this far out from launch?

This isnt about tolelance, its about replicating a game we all love. They clearly didnt just "improve the graphics" on the existing models from vanilla, they changed them. Op goes a step further and calls identity politics involved in it, which i agree with, seeing how this happens not only here but in most videogames.

It's either about bad character models or it's about intolerance.

Pick one.

I did ask you several times, but you didn't answer.

I give you several reasons why it looks like ActiBlizz are pulling the strings on this one, not the Vicarious Visions guys. Think of it what you want.

But now you've gone all the way down to calling this topic offensive which is ridiculous, the mods are on top of this topic cuz they suspended me for defending my topic but didn't close it.

Topic is fine, only thing you can bring against it is that the OP uses perhaps a little strong language, typed in the heat of battle so to speak.

I've said it several times now, you don't like it, you said so, fine. Time to move on.

Just like the OP, you say you won't bother with me or act dismissive as if you're somehow exiting gracefully, to which I call your bluff.

Shocking how neither of you are ever online at the same time, and you have no friends on your friends list... coincidence?

I didn't say it's an absolute, but it's a 0/1 situation... Is it about bad character models, or is he offended that they somehow don't look up to his standards of gender identity? Is there a third option here? He skirts around it, but we all know what he's getting at.

What is this BS even...

Him and I were literally posting at the same time what you're even talking about. How desperate are you at this point

I think we should be a bit more progressive and not state or assume any gender for any of the characters, they should have the freedom to decide which gender represents them the most, even if they lack self-awareness it's rude that someone else decides their gender for them, also we should consider the possibility of them feeling identified as non-binary or even transspecies.
