Guild Wars 2

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Norn women are too bulky, also their voice sounds like they are imitating a man.

But that’s just my opinion.

WTF? Norn Women have the best voice actress of all the female player characters (male humans have the best male, Nolan North). It’s Claudia Christian aka Ivanova from Babylon 5.

“Did you see that? I did that!” “I. AM. AWESOME.” – love all the female norn infight quotes.

Agreed about Claudia Christian but I don’t think it’s her best work. Some lines are good, others are a bit awkward.

Either way, I see a lot of comparison with humans in real life, human physiology etc though one should remember it’s still not a human. They could have an orange for a head. They resemble us but nothing more.

As for the looks you can choose from, I think it’s great. Funnily, they have the most human faces, but their builds are clearly that of a half-giant or the like, even the less burly norn are built like strong-men/-women to a species like the humans. I would have loved more options for scarring and the like but that goes for all races – what is there still enables you to make a rugged character as you like, but of course the Norn appearance ranges from the pleasing to the unpleasing just like everything else, at least to my eyes. Again, I’m sure on a general level we’d all love more chargen options.

I absolutely love the muscle you can add, myself. It’s so liberating to look strong for once if you wish it as a female – very rare in games. I also love that big and strong does not HAVE to mean it impacts your features, as the title implies – as far as faces go.

I wish that were true. I rolled a fem norn and was once again disappointed with a run-of-the-mill video game character design that doesn’t really let you make a muscular female.

Norns can be sexy! ;D

As I said, just my opinion.

I experimented with a couple faces to try and make them unattractive and/or unique…I met with very limited success. But Norn supposedly can live for centuries (or even longer), so I don’t even know if they technically age the same way humans do. I would still enjoy more faces like the male Norn, though.

Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting “ugly” models. Ugly = Unique especially in video games because a lot of people go the purty route.

On a completely unrelated note, when do we get to add some pudge to our characters?

NO! LEAVE MY SEXY, MUSCULAR AMAZONIAN WOMEN ALONE.

Oh god kill it with fire :S

Norn females are the best looking females in the game. Sure arenanet could add a few more ’’rugged’’ faces (like a scar with a blind eye, like the new male face) but then again, I wouldn’t be against 10 or 20 new pretty faces either! There can never be enough!
