    Is it wrong for video game characters to be attractive?

    I am neutral on this issue but I wanted to know what you think. I will buy Mass Effect Andromeda even if it is complete crap. Space is awesome!

    I would prefer female characters as attractive as in The Witcher 3 but do you think the attractive women causes the mainstream to think video games are only for hormonal male teenagers? Is the video game medium less respected because of this?

    Mass Effect original trilogy




    Dragon Age Inquisition


    The Witcher 3



    Mass Effect Andromeda

    The mainstream media just has to stop , Let the characters be what the developers want it to be, And no its not wrong to have attractive video game characters

    If it wasn't the "boys just like hot girls in games" narrative it would be some other bullshit that the old media keeps using to trash video games.

    Fuck yeah video game characters can be attractive. Gimme some sexy guys too. Although none of the guys in the ME universe really do it for me. Kaidan in ME3 aint bad, but that's about it.

    Characters should serve the story, art style and gameplay of the game, much like actors do in movies.
    They can be ugly or sexy, it doesn't matter to me as far as they serve the game to be more immersive.

    Equal opportunity fanservice is the best fanservice.

    sex sells? 10char

    edit: Isn't there a race thats supposed to be super ugly on some starwars or warhammer game that was like 0.001% of the population? People don't like ugly things.

    edit 2: The tellarites from star trek online.

    That and she's not that amazing looking. Might be the lighting though.

    Also BotW's Zelda's voice is fucking obnoxious and her entire character is just such a weeaboo version of the normally badass Princess Zelda.

    No. It's not.

    It's however not wrong either for video game characters to not look like runway models. It all depends on if the graphics can sell the character as a believable entity, e.g what the eyes looks like and how much emotions the face is is capable of conveying even when not speaking. If you get the eyes wrong the whole thing can quickly fall apart.

    No, it isn't wrong. I firmly believe that developers should have the freedom to design a character however they like - preferably without any obvious political agendas.
