    Well, let's compare...
    Male:

    Female:

    ...
    ...okay, I can spot the difference... but... its really not that noticable. Might have been better if they had done a bit more to distinguish them... like, give the male form a bare chest with crossed leather bands to make it visually different from the "armor bra" female...

    Or maybe ZOS should simply have been a bit more courageous with the chest slider on the female model? o:)

    Maybe even give her long hair too?

    Wonder how many women want their chars to look "badass"?

    Also, wonder how many men, who play female chars, want them to look "badass".

    I'm a woman and I have both glittery elves and those that will make you cry if you'd meet them IRL. I have 27 chars in total and I like 'balance'.

    It doesn't look badass. Ok, let's assume all men are of limited perception and can't judge female creatures adequately, but male version is 100% not badass. Vampire Lord from Skyrim is bad ass, 100%. I hate vampires, but I admit Harkon was cool and it was tempting to become vampire, because transformation was so impressive...
    But this low-IQ face, this wingless gargoyle, this is not a "bad ass"...

    The blood Scion is supposed to be a monster, it's not meant to look cute and cuddly. I do think they could have made them look a bit less like rubber chickens though lol

    for the first question - more then you'd think
    for the second question - almost none.

    personaly I still wish there were wings, but otherwise, i'm very happy with the amount of sexual dimorphism they gave the models. its recognizably female, but still equally ugly which IMO is EXACTLY as it should be.
    dirty worthless casual.

    There were multiple threads and pleas to change male blood scion into vampire lord. Multiple. Whole group of dedicated players appeared. So it's not "I". It is considerable amount of players, who dislike how blood scion looks. ZOS was even forced to comment officially on the matter.

    I wouldn't mind the Scion all that much if both models had hair. Obviously give the female one long hair and I'm sure the confusion will dissapear quickly.

    Sure :) my opinion about Blood Scion - this is just a re-skin of necromancer's Bone Goliath and is as grotesque both in looks and function. For me grotesque doesn't equal "badass'.
    I think that typical example of male 'badass" is Tyler Durden, cowboy Marlboro, Harley Davidson - that sort of thing. Cool guy who just does what he wants, and doesn't look like an idiot in process. Blood Scion looks like an idiot, that's why I think he doesn't qualify for 'badass' title :)

    Examples of female 'badass'... Mia from Pulp Fiction, Mathilda from Leon, Ellie from Last of Us .. etc. Nobody is telling that every female character should look like Lara Croft... there are ton of examples where women which were far from "ideal", became deep and interesting, controversial characters.. somehow majority of those examples are from older movies/games and modern representation of 'badass' woman is.. Blood Scion? Or sisters from Wolfenstein: New Blood? Thanks, no.

    Pretty much. It's like complaining that the werewolf ultimate turns you into a feral beast instead of cuddly, yiff-bait.

    I'm not the biggest fan of how the Blood Scion turned out, but not because I expected it to look, "pretty".

    So, if a female vampire has breasts as depicted, do they provide blood, or milk for the vampire babies?

    Damn it's almost as if ZOS were making their own thing that nobody would have even thought about in Elder Scrolls if it weren't for a certain Skyrim expansion...

    Daily reminder that the day before Dawnguard the thought of vampire transformations in Elder Scrolls was not really a thing.

    Yeah, or they could have given her slightly narrower/less square shoulders and a more female proportioned face (larger eyes, shorter philtrum).

    Still wouldn't want to play it, though.

    The male version has a more typically feminine proportioned face than the female, in some ways.

    He doesn't have a feminine face, obviously, but it is quite softly proportioned for a male (shorter nose and slightly shorter philtrum than the female).

    Whereas, the female's face definitely veers in a more masculine direction for a female.

    Really, the only things making the male's face look more male than the female's face are the heavy eyebrow ridge and the square jaw.

    Well, I'm not questioning that there are some women who like playing "badass" characters.

    I am specifically wondering how many do, relative to the ones who don't.

    Similarly, I'm wondering how many males, who play female chars, are looking to play "badass" ones, relative to the ones who aren't.

    Basically, I'm wondering if they are, statistically, on target, here, or not.

    ...and if they are not, why aren't they?

    What is the reasoning behind it?
