Here's your fanservice outfit

I think the real metric of success for the biowarian crowd will be if someone is willing to spend 20K making a sexdoll out of this like some degenerate Larian fanboy did for Astarion.

Is this it?

Matt Rhodes is often blamed for Bioware's art direction choices - I mean, it is his job - but trannization of women seems outside of his control? They always look alright on sketches.

The fuck they do. His style is literally an embodiment of early 2000's deviantart, later Tumbler, and modern hipster. I loathe it, it looks immature and schmalzy.

No of course not. It's also a junkie disease.

I'm sorry, DA2, I didn't know how good I've had it. I take back at least a quarter of terrible things I've said about you. Wait, no, quarter is too much. Let's do a fifth.

How does turning Spiders into Crabs even help? Crabs basically look like Spiders, and they’ve got claws, Spiders with claws you’d think would be a nightmare for some little pussy bitch that can’t even stand to look at fake Digital Spiders on a screen.
It's all bullshit. It should be cathartic for a genuine arachnophobe to kill virtual spiders that can never pose a real threat to the player. These people are just faggots and want attention.

As a very arachnophobic person - can confirm computer game spiders do absolutely nothing for me and also think its attention seeking dumb. No one is skilled enough to model or animate a spider that's in any way actually like a spider.

Far cry from the initial concept.

Guess the tranny director felt threatened over a fictional women having any sort of pronounced tits, ass, hips, etc.

I will never understand why BioWare doesn’t make the Dragon Age games look like the cartoony concept art. In this game, and Inquisition, they do this really stupid thing where they only take the stylized cartoony costume design, and they put those costumes on realistic looking characters (although in this game realistic looking characters with bigger heads than normal) in a realistic looking world. The funny thing is if they made the games look like the concept art, not only would the games look better, it’d likely cost them less money to make.

or design outfits that don't look gay and awful. Bioware needs to imitate outfits from the Witcher games, which are master class fantasy design.

It's time to put a stop to arachnophobia.
Spiders are good pest control, let them live around your house and you will not have to worry about insects annoying you.
I have visited the houses of people who kill spiders and they are full of flies.
I wish dragon age had a mine full of spiders and you would gradually train them to obey you and later send them to missions for pest control and use the rewards from the grateful people to buy armor and weapons for your spider army.

Of all the years of spiders coming in the house only ever seen 1 with a fly in its web most just seem to starve to death in a corner for me to find and vacuum up weeks later. How filthy are these houses you visit to have so many flies? Do they not have mesh screens on their windows?

I also can't fucking stand spiders, I'm like a giant pussy every time I see one that's even remotely big. They give me the fucking jitters so bad.

Also never had a problem ever with spiders in-game, sure I don't like looking at them or anything, but enough to turn off the game? For fuck's sake that's absurd.

Arachnophobia isn't a rational fear you fucking moron. That's literally in the definition of phobia:

A phobia is an anxiety disorder, defined by an irrational, unrealistic, persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation.

"LOL BUT SPIDERS ARE GOOD FOR YOUR HOUSE" You don't fucking say! Thanks for solving my issue Captain Obvious!

Also yes it is very satisfying for me to kill spiders in games so yeah that theory works out

I can usually be heard shouting at the screen something along the lines of DIE DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT or THAT'S WHAT YOU GET BITCH etc

Ehh, a real phobia is an irrational fear. I guess applying logic isn't a good idea here. It must be noted, however, that treating a phobia is done through exposure to the object of the phobia. Starting with digital representations seems to be a great idea.
