How come nightborne all look the same?

[Beloren]

All the males the same, all the females the same. For such a diverse and thoroughly detailed area/zone/city - even the various NPcs have different pokes, unique voice files, etc.. a bit surprising it's the one model for each gender.

The female is at least one of the nicer Night elf female faces, but the male -- he ugly and so stuffy, doesn't look like the same face in this pic.


Anyway, the whole thing is cool but the nightborne are a bit ugly. Gimme blood elf any day, and wow, for a change an elf male that makes the night elf male look good.

Suramar = beautiful
Nightborne = wtf

I wonder if the story will end up with a healed nightwell and this would restore them to their former night elven state. I hope so, - otherwise I hope if they stay nightborne we'll get some variation. AT least they have children models, joining very select few of races that have child models. Don't half the sub-races not even have female models?

Satyr female model?

[TS26]

That's racist.

[Raetary]

the nightborne look great.

then go and hang out in silvermoon, the shal'dorei arent blood elves.

but the male -- he ugly and so stuffy

they look fine.

[Relapses]

I fully believe they look weird intentionally. It's supposed to make you feel uncomfortable because they're an entire race which has mutated due to their circumstances. As I said, it's a bit Uncanny Valley-ish but it fits the narrative perfectly. I personally think Blizzard did a great job.

[Zandalarian Paladin]

They're not a playable race. Spending an awful amount of time on designing unique faces/hair/skins for that would be a tremendous waste of time for character artists.

My couch psychology tells me you have some serious self-image problems if you're finding issues with 'ugly' races in a video game fantasy world.

hey everyone appreciates some eye candy, but, they're just not doing it for me. Their city is though, it's amazing, wish Silvermoon had that sort of detail, with it's reds and golds and whites, would be glorious.

I am liking the night/moon/stars theme though, has a serenity and beauty to it, more tranquil than glorious. but them people...

Eh, I dont know. Personally I play horde because of my RL friends and I can ONLY play blood elf, because i find the other races simply too ugly.

That sounds more like you're being extremely boring, like people who only play human on Alliance.

Then I guess you are in the same self-image boat as the OP.

I main Human chars but I even do stuff on Night Elves etc etc.

I never understood why people think their pixels have to look good. Did Jrpgs start this crap? When I started online MMOs you got a Sprite with a square head and you liked it.

Aim for a character of every race. Variety is the spice of life Mr. Lightsong. Dwarf warriors look the best and gnomes are fun.

I don't like blood elves but I still play one, I Headcanon her as being a massive bitch nobody likes

[Lillyth]

Because they are mobs that are not playable. They do not look all the same.

It's complicated and I'm too lazy to put much thought into explaining it properly, but essentially people see part of their lives within the game. They use it as an escape from reality. They associate their real life identity with their online avatar. If you're sexy and cool and powerful in a game it makes you feel better about your overall self-perception.

You might be a fat ugly failure in reality but if you spend every waking hour in game, where you're a slim attractive elf who slays dragons and defeats demons and saves the world, then that's all that counts. You don't have to worry about the real world, you're in a mythic raiding guild, you've made it big!

That's racist.

some nightborne are males & some are females, is it sexist too?
