[link removed-Titan] Holy jeeze, guys. You just had to make me play a female character, didn't you? Now, in the interest of full disclosure and or stating the blatantly obvious, boobs aren't exactly my cup of tea, so to speak, and my experience in that department is admittedly limited. I do, however, have an elementary grasp of the laws of physics, which is more than can be said for the bosoms on Blade & Soul‘s female characters, which lack even the foggiest notion of how inertia works.
Each time I rotated my character even the slightest bit, her breasts tried to bolt away from one another like startled deer, only to find the effort fruitless and, after a few more perfunctory attempts, come to a resigned halt. That is, until the next minuscule movement renewed their fervor, at any rate.Yes, I understand that MMO characters tend to be idealized representations of the human figure and that male and female characters alike are subjected to a degree of objectification, yadda yadda yadda, but such shameless levels of hypersexualization are really just an embarrassment.
Listen, game devs: When my male character's ass bounces around like two bowls of seemingly frictionless Jell O that threaten to slingshot themselves into orbit every time he so much as wiggles his toes, maybe we can talk. Of course, if male butts followed the same laws of physics as female breasts read: none whatsoever, there would be no shortage of people eager to tell you how cringingly gratuitous it is. It's not that I'm surprised to find overzealous boob physics in an MMO, mind you, but it's kinda like ambrosia salad at Thanksgiving dinner: I know it's gonna be there, and even though no one's going to force me to actually eat it,
