Because more men play female characters than women. Men, being men, want them to be more.. satisfying to look at. My guess, anyways.

NPCs, not PCs.

Looks like we got a time traveler from 1990 here. Are you actually saying with a straight face that more MALES play female characters than actual women? Wow.

I'm here to wake up the ignorant males who once again forget that tons of women DO play this game. I do not create male characters because I want to look at a "cute" male. Doesn't even occur to me. I'm a girl and I want to play as my gender. I know some females do want male characters so they don't get harassed in game or just as a preference

Please remember it's the 21st century. Please cure yourselves of EOMD, you know that dreaded internet disease where inexplicably males (and females) for no reason think that ONLY men play online and think MOSTLY men play. Don't embarrass yourselves.

Anyway, I don't want to see big breasted NPC'S. I really don't. I know some do but I would prefer SOME VARIETY please devs. I long for games where we don't have to see the same clichés where female characters are walking around [snip] with hardly anything on while males are always covered. Really??

I am a female and I believe all the female NPCs don't have big enough boobs.

I made a bosmer once and in the character creation they looked all fine and dandy, smallish boobs, not overly skinny or some bizarre waist size, all in all a very normal well rounded looking person...

Then when i entered the world i immediately noticed that i had enourmous jugs!

I'm not entirely sure how that happened..

I never noticed.

What i wanna know is since when is TES politically correct? Why npcs and quest givers are all the sudden overwhelmingly female i remember TES being a fantasy game inspired by medieval times its that kind of RPG and sometimes roles for men or women were more specific and what made sense in that age. TES both world and lore wise has never been a fair or Politically Correct world it is alot more medieval, dark, and gritty. In TESO it feels less like what described above and npcs and quest givers are overwhelmingly female now its like a 80% women to 20% men ratio its so obvious no matter if irs a mage, guard, fighter, fishermen, blacksmith, or whatever you name it will most likley be female..

Good example I was in betnikh not only were quest givers mostly female but then i noticed the guards genderwise the ratio was like 6 females to 1 male in some areas particularly in the area where the Orc chief is [snip] have male orcs become endangered now. Funny part too only male guard i find in that area happens to stop me for a bounty and tells me he wishes he met me in different terms because im attractive lol [snip] i mean *** since when is elder scrolls this politically correct lol. You can have diversity and be more gender neutral while still staying true to the lore and age game is suppose to represent.

In TESO it feels like someone decided to inject present day politics and views like political correctness into elder scrolls with result being it losing some of what made it interesting and men somehow becoming rare and second class all of the sudden.. All i know these kind of ratios arent gender neutral or realistic either in any sense and reason why people want real world politics to stay out of video games we play games to get away from all that [snip] and the fact is even in our real world this wouldn't be realistic it looks like some SJW pipe dream its not like your fairly representing all political views when you do this either so why bother stick to what worked.

Elder Scrolls is a fantasy game clearly inspired by and based on medeval times and experiencing, living through, and roleplaying in that age is part of the fun.. So Its ok to stay true and realistic to that age no need to inject present day political views into that game that will ruin that experience just stay true to the art that is elder scrolls this is part of why alot of fans can't wait for the next non mmo elder scrolls to release we want the elder scrolls we are use to and love not something different.

You should try to read once in a while. People aren't offended by big breasts but rather by the lack of diversity, since when you go out in in real life and walk in the streets you don't see big boobs only. Crazy huh. So it's not unreasonable to ask for small boobs in game as well.

We have already thin, muscle packed and fat/chubby male characters for the most part so why not?

This simply isn't true. Have you played the previous Elder Scrolls titles? I have played them since Morrowind, and the ES world has never reflected European middle age societies when it comes to being misogynistic/patriarchal in nature. All the previous titles have also had active, important female NPCs in various roles. Nothing has changed in that sense.

To me it seems that you'd simply like to play a fantasy game where females would remain subordinate, "know their place" and the society would work on male terms. Elder Scrolls has never been that sort of game, and I am very thankful for that. But I am pretty sure that those kind of games and fantasy worlds exist and you could choose to play them.

On a more personal level, why do you even pay this much attention to the gender of some totally unimportant NPCs like generic guards? Or maybe you only notice the gender of these NPCs when they are not male?

Regarding the original subject of this thread: I haven't personally paid much attention to chest-size of NPCs. As long as the female characters [snip] don't walk around dressed in sexually provocative clothing, I don't care that much.

Why do all the female NPC's in the game have large breasts? Even Argonian females have them when they should not have any at all.

Every female Argonian NPC I've seen barely has any breasts to speak of, much less large ones.

It depends with me though. In Elder Scrolls games, I'm always making Female Characters, cause yeah, in fact I do much enjoy looking at the female form if I'm going to look at it for hundreds of hours.

However,

Mass Effect? They've all been Male Shepards. Tried FemShep once, didn't tick, went back to MaleShep. Andromeda released? I chose MaleRyder. In that kind of game, which you also spend ungodly number of hours playing, it feels weird for me to not play the guy, however in Elder Scrolls every single one of my characters are Women. Perhaps it's due to the absence of a predetermined Personality for the Protagonist. It's a blank slate and save for a simple backstory, your character is whatever you choose to be, not what the game tells you it is. That's I think is mostly why I make Females, cause I love imagining and creating Female characters. But with a game like Mass Effect where you have fully voiced MCs with premade histories and a more or less pre-written story that you just follow along with, I choose the guy, cause given what I have to go with, and I can't change it, he just fits better.

Yeeeeeah I'm gonna have to see a source on that. As far as I remember, they're roughly equal. And TES has never been a faithful representation of medieval times, although Breton, and to a lesser extent Imperial and Nord, cultures are clearly inspired by them.

Good example I was in betnikh not only were quest givers mostly female but then i noticed the guards genderwise the ratio was like 6 females to 1 male in some areas particularly in the area where the Orc chief is [snip] have male orcs become endangered now.

Orcish women do most of the work in Orcish society, and the men take a more passive, but patriarchal role. Think of a pride of lions. L2lore :P

The Elder Scrolls has never been a direct parallel to medieval fantasy. Sure, it takes some inspiration from it, but it's far from a faithful recreation. As a gay woman, I happen to like the no-frills LGBT and female representation in the game; it's not presented as something unique and applause-worthy. Just, "oh, my wife said I can't do this, bummer" from a female NPC. It means a lot, even if it doesn't look like much. It's reeeeally not as in-your-face as you claim. There was just never a stigma against it in-universe, so people are more likely to volunteer the information flippantly. There's plenty of straight romantic content/people and men in power, trust me.
