"8) Too much skin and boobs and muscles in the models"

Lara Croft inspired boobs are mandatory! It makes things sell, have you ever noticed that every EverQuest game box has a large-chested Firiona Vie featured?

But this might be going too far:

I don't play in these games to see tits, I play em to be in another world.

It's ok if there're options, but a lot of times there're not.

Eq1 is nice in this way. The gnomes have big noses and look old. The trolls and ogres are butt ugly. A lot of it's in the facial texture maps since the ratio's between eyes and mouth and nose can be different. The newer eq1 models don't have that. It's nice to see old looking characters in games. Of course, if they're too old it might look wrong if they're a warrior. There're other examples in the eq1 models. But even EQ1 shows too much skin, imho, especially on the woman. I think it adds to a game when there're not just young hunks and sluts.

I guess I could say I like some realism. I'm not sure how mcuh is too much. I just know that I like it usually when I see it. But I know just as well that too mcuh realism can be a chore. Just doesn't happen often. Games are far from being too realistic. Problem I have with them is they're too UNrealistic. Of course, 20 different players might give you 20 different answers about what realism is. But I'd say that we can define realism simply by observing reality and its scientific laws. We can see how it behaves and how it looks and try to emulate it. This is not random, it's a matter of taking our observations and molding them into a computer program. An example of this is when somebody says "The graphics in that game are realistic." They're using their observations in RL and applying them to the game. We can do that with other things too. We can do this because reality is a shared experience and we all have shared DNA too. We're not separate.

I know I'm in a minority. And I know whenever I state my opinions I have 20 people wanting to attack me. But it's just the nature of being who I am. If I'm not mostly alone, that would be news to me.

I'll go back to my cave now. The one that says Do Not Enter.
