Do you make skinny characters?

phaneub17_ESO · June 2017

Where the arms are super scrawny like twigs. I can't stand looking at it in the character creation screen, its even more bothersome when out and about seeing other characters like that. I know that's up to the player's choice and all, it's just somewhat unnerving to me seeing it. Do you like it or find to regret it later and want to change it?

I like making my female characters like that. Get triggered mate

Invincible · June 2017

My female toons all have big thick thighs aw yeah boi

inespeloazul · June 2017

One of my characters is set to completely skinny with a bit of a belly paunch. It suits him nicely, tbh. Only downside is that some form-fitting light armors don't look very good on him. (Specifically, Glass. It just doesn't work with his figure.) He looks great in Altmer, though, and Abah's Watch looks okay. Glass is just...yeesh.

I made the arms and legs skinnier than the defaults on one of my characters, and regretted it. It didn't look right to me. I deleted that character and now I only use the default arm and leg settings.

Lol same, I always put thighs and booty at highest setting, no matter what size I'm makin my girls.

To OP, depends on the character I'm making. I don't like the super skinny arms (really its about where the arm meets the shoulder) but normally I'm not big on buff arms on my chicks either. So usually, yeah the arms are thin unless I'm makin Amazon ladies lol!

I like creating characters with some weight, with sizes depending in part on what skills I'm hoping to use. Everyone gets a waist and butt, some toned arms, and thick legs that come from constant running around.

The only time I regretted not having anything small was when I realized that most armors are oddly conforming to female characters' chests. (For my Khajiiti Nightblade I dealt with this by giving her a flat chest and Dominion armor.)

SameMeteor26 · June 2017

All my characters are male (i am of the male gender, lol, and it just feels wrong to me making females. Like I feel weird playing as a female). Anyways I try to make my characters look as human as possible. I make The just like "Average" size. I little muscle but not like hulk.

Myyth · June 2017

no, the armor all looks bad on skinny frames.

Lavennin · June 2017

My female characters are mostly warriors so they have a bit of muscles. Not the bodybuilder kind of muscles but they don't look like they are skooma addicts either. (Also, some got battle scars.)

I don't find the skinny arms too unnerving on mages, but I do question their competence when the girls are tanks/stamina DDs.

I don't use it because it just seems like they would never do the things that a character in this game would be expected to do.

Khenarthi · June 2017

Mine are all chubby to athletic/muscular. I've seen some really really thin characters around, but their figures are too anorexic for my tastes.

DaveMoeDee · June 2017

My first character at launch is my Imperial DK tank. He is the oldest and skinniest character possible.

He is awesome.

Evergnar · June 2017

Made an argonian as skinny as possible. Never regretted it. After 3 years still like the way he looks.

MLGProPlayer · June 2017

No. I always make them muscular. Seeing a skinny character walking around in battle armour whacking things with a massive sword looks stupid.

Yellow_Monolith · June 2017

I hear if you make your sorcs skinny streak will work

Razzyman · June 2017

Depends on the character, race and their role. Elves tend to be skinnier, Khahiit and Argonians along with Breton more average while Orcs and Nords will be large and muscular. As for the role casters are thinner while melee DPS will be average and very toned. Tanks I will go as big as possible while being as muscular as possible if male, female tanks tend to be above average size and muscle wise. Generally my female toons are not as bulky or tall as my male ones but still vary based on their role.

As for how skinny, I don't really like the smallest you can make them, maybe a bit under the start point for casters, but I don't like any characters with twig arms and legs.

SilverIce58 · June 2017

All of my guys, (except for my first, because I didn't know what i was doing) are muscular and thin, and they all have big butts, but when I make a female, she's always svelte, yet a tad curvy (and always with a big nice butt [the slider is always to the right])

WhitePawPrints · June 2017

A lot of my characters are thin, with a bit of muscle expected to be seen by someone that gets constant exercise but little food.

During war in a world that requires manual labor to obtain food, starvation is far more common. There is no such thing as anorexia because people STARVE to death! The thin bodies are way more realistic than the fat and muscled ones. When I was younger, I had a body that most people would probably consider "unrealistic" because I faced real starvation before. Tired of the internet telling me I'm being unrealistic.

WalksonGraves · June 2017

My super thin burned old lady vamp is the hottest in all tamriel.

STEVIL · June 2017

Mine vary...

Some tall, some short
Some musculat, some thin.

Perhaps none ae medium.

My latest pint-sized argonian looked child-sized next to Lyris in the Wailing Prison.

max_only · June 2017

When the sliders are pulled all the way to 0 for everything the textures become deformed. Same if they are pumped all the way to the other extreme.

DocFrost72 · June 2017

My females end up max muscle, almost all sliders max (chest is too much maxxed). I think wide hips and thick arms look better and function better.

Same with my male toons, though they get a little bit o flab because I don't wanna be he-man xD

Lititle in the middle but she got much back!

Nope hate the super scronny toons

Anlace · June 2017

Some of my characters are delicate, yeah. They look proportionate to me.

Some of the costumes distort the character. The gray padded thief outfit for example makes legs and arms way skinnier. The casual waterfront outfit cinches the waist, distorts the back and broadens the shoulders, and makes the arms a little thicker. If you're seeing proportions that seem off, it might be the costume maker's rather than the player's choices.

ArchMikem · June 2017

Yeah i once asked why the character creation allowed you to make a girl look anorexic, but then the entire forum jumped down my throat about it and called my character fat.

Abeille · June 2017

My characters have different body types, including skinny. I made my Bosmer, Tegwen, like that, and her nickname is "Twigs". My Altmer is also skinny, but just because I think it makes her look taller and I wanted her to look as tall as possible.

I like it because that's pretty much how I look in real life. Scrawny like a twig, no curves. And I do not starve myself or anything, I eat normally, I just do not gain weight easily. It is a family thing, my sister is just like that, and we took after our mother. I'm sorry this kind of body type "unnerves" you.

Bringer · June 2017

I always do about half way between dead center of the triangle and top of the triangle, and then leave arms alone, but legs i move one tic to the right

The character creator gives you an unrealistic perspective unless you zoom way out, things will look different in game. you must be careful.
