    holy crap. has anyone who makes characters like these seen a woman before?

    they're fantasy races, embrace their different-ness and make something creative. I guarantee you it will be more attractive and interesting.

    @kargen27 They all look good, but your redguard looks freaking amazing :o

    Thank you! That is the one character I had a specific look in mind when I created her. I wanted her to look like Grace Jones in Conan the Destroyer. Didn't quite pull it off but I still like how she looks.
    Well I think you were more successful than you give yourself credit for, she is exactly who came to mind when I saw that pic.

    Even as a vampire does she look pretty. Probably more fierce than pretty though

    Looks like all these characters just follow the same archetype..
    Do we really need a guide on "attractiveness"? People should be capable to decide on their own lmao
    Sure, thanks to the OP for the effort but... *shrugs*

    To be fair, if someone is struggling to make a char that looks the way they want it to look, it might be very helpful if there were screenshots of sliders of a char they liked, or that was close to what they were going for, to show how to do it.

    However, the general consensus here appears to be that these particular slider settings are not generally going to be the ideal ones for most people to follow.

    Yes! This thread was made for that sole purpose. Players can use my sliders or others as a reference to make character of their taste.

    Yes, so we should really stop talking about your chars and start posting our own sliders, if we have access to them. :)

    @Tigerseye I have done just that, at page 1 or you could post yours as well. :)

    The lot of you making comments about the size of OP's Character's breasts are kind of ***. Whether you mean to be or not.

    Comments like those are the reason my wife (who is proportioned similarly in real life) will never make herself in video games. It's actually a bit of a complex for her, despite her being completely healthy. She actively goes out of her way to make herself smaller chested or larger in other ways (or, more recently, completely stopped making female characters at all) because she either

    a : Get's in game cat called and oogled because of it, which given it would be based off her body is essentially sexualizing her

    or

    b : Get's "well meaning" comments about how she's obviously a "disgusting" man who doesn't understand proportion.

    Both of these are not okay and frankly, I'm tired of seeing it. Especially the well meaning comments coming from other women. You should know better. I was going to ignore it because I know it's kind of off topic but frankly I just can't because I know there's someone out there having the same experience my wife has.

    Just cut it out. Be better.

    Oof, thank you for saying this. I’d never say anything to a player, but I have at times rolled my eyes and thought something like this when seeing larger busted characters running around. And you’re right, it’s a crappy thing to think for all the reasons you listed and I should do better. So again, thanks.

    I would hope he comes across as one of the more believable characters here too.

    Fair enough. Everything in the middle, with max muscular body and young face. Seriously, Hassan's design is that simple, and it makes for a bloke that looks well, normal, if rather well trained physically. Adjust hair, eyebrows, and associated colours to taste.

    A seasoned adventurer would have a stronger upper body (or would soon be dead).

    honestly as long as your character isn't a vampire or using one of those hideous inhuman skins, you can just give them the "Left-Parted Cropped" hairstyle and they'll instantly be pretty.
    pretty dresses help too.

    Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
    "Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""

    That's not even on max, either - that's only two clicks up from the centre.

    If there is a problem, it's that the whole arm increases in size (not just the upper arm).

    So, once you get much above that, the lower arm and wrist look too big for an average sized hand.

    No, no problem. :smile:

    It may be that if you stick the dot on the body type triangle on the lefthand side, that the arms are automatically very slim, however large you then try to make them on the slider.

    A bit like if you stick the dot on the righthand side, you automatically get a bigger butt, hips and thighs (on female chars, obviously), even if you choose min size, in all three, on the sliders.

    It, basically, assumes all women put on weight, almost entirely, on the lower half; even if you didn't make your char pear-shaped.

    So, putting it on the left side probably assumes the the same - that women only ever lose weight off their top half - and strips almost all the flesh off the upper body, regardless of sliders, leaving the lower body larger.

    The dot for my char is in the middle of the triangle, by the way.

    Yeah, I don't know what that is, either.

    Would have thought all chars would have it, if any did?

    You can only change the shape and colour of the eye - you can't make it look more sparkly, or anything.

    Eyes can look a bit closer together in-game than they do on the creation screen, for some reason, but I don't see why they would look dead?
