"Can't stand the sight of a strong nord woman?"

Post » Fri May 25, 2012 10:11 pm

You mention a "real" woman and then you show a picture of a woman on steroids... A female is just like a males natural muscles do NOT look like those of someone who is taking steroids! Real muscles are suppose to actually be useful and not just to "look" good, like the fake ones you get by using steroids.

I honestly can't figure out what to even say of what a "strong" woman would look like, the only picture that appears in my head is Xena(lol) the warrior princess - http://www.ftwilmingtonblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Xena-Princess-Warrior.jpg

With spells and enchantments, not everyone is what they seem.

So, the Nord women are strong and can rip you apart, in fact, women of all the races can be really strong and dangerous, however, they don't look like it.

The men in the game look really strong but the women look more like fashion models having a shoot with medieval armor. I know it's not a big deal but I can't help myself having a bit of a laugh when these female bandits come running towards me.

See what I mean?


PS. My last thread got locked because people thought I was trolling, I hope you can see that I am not trolling at all but pointing out something in the character design that looks very wrong. Skyrim is great though, even with this flaw.

On your first picture, the foto of the strong woman...is she nord, or homo sapiens sapiens? Because the first is a fantasy subtypus of a human and the second is reality. Don't confuse these two, it happens easily. ;)

... and on the other hand I'm glad they don't look like the woman in the first pic.

I could not agree with you more.

Xena is a just hot actor in warrior outfit, not a strong woman. The pic I showed is a not someone on steroids but a female athlete who competes in World Strongest Woman.

I would point out that skyrim is closer to Xena then it is real life.

Xena still looks toned and athletic.

You would rather see a Shemale or a nice babe?

It's the skinny arms that get me. Those skinny, thin, little arms.

A slight hint of actual muscle would be nice...at least it'd look like she could hold a sword.

Some armor graphics correct this but most of them don't. >_<

Some of those chicks are just walking steroids. Strong women look like female tennis players, for instance Sharapova. Others look like female boxers or martial arts fighters. None of them look like oversized men. Hell, not even men look that bulky.
