A male protagonist should always look like he either just fucked a bear, or got fucked by a bear. The one on the left meets both of these criteria and is passable.

Time to go to work at the shit factory!
I bet the people who do this aren't very attractive. So weird...
This is my favorite internet gag lately.
i still haven’t finished this game because i don’t want it to be over. even though i haven’t played it in months, i can take comfort in knowing im not truly done with it
There's more to see if you go through it as a different "character"
my problem goes deeper than you might initially expect. i have made many many characters for this game. however, none of them have finished it
Have you ever thought about finishing them off at the same time?
I've seen some documentaries about this.
I sympathise with you here, and I won't urge you to finish it (because I know it's not that simple), but I do hope that you are able to some day, because the ending of the game is one of the things that is dear to my heart in the game (I am curious at what the furthest you've gotten in it is). It's not even that the ending is good — the reason I love it is because of how it hurts: it hurts because it means the game is finally over, and it also hurts because the characters in the game don't get the closure of an ending. Disco Elysium actually feels tremendously hopeful to me, but it's a weary, desperate kind of hope, because Revachol is sick and struggling; Martinaise, depressing shit hole that it is, reminds me of home — I say this with equal parts bitterness and affection. You would probably take away something different from the ending than I did, which is why I hope that you are able to experience it some day.

Wait, this isn't lemmy shiitpost?
Not sure if thats a parody of Gamers complaining about "ugly" women or if they are serious and also stupid on the same level
Pretty sure that’s a parody, in response to where folks edit women in the same manner, like this shit: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/what-is-the-hire-fans-lol-meme-the-viral-dei-copypasta-being-used-to-criticize-the-witcher-4-haters-explained
Original Chuddish: "Hire fans lol"
Translated to English: "I've never once seen a real woman from up close (they always run away and call me a freak)"
Am I alone in finding the "fan" image for Ciri even more off-putting than the original one, even if Ciri was doing something where attractiveness was relevant? People who wear that much makeup end up in the uncanny valley for me.
She looks weird and vacant, like a literal sex doll. But I suppose that's what they want
Yes
So poes law is alive and well.
I'm pretty sure it's a parody, but it'd be hilariously unhinged if it became real.
There's no forcing. I actually didn't look in the mirror my first playthrough and I stand by that choice
Wait a minute, he looks different if you don't look in the mirror in his apartment? I think it's time I replay this game...
Original portrait:
After looking at the mirror (don't):
Shaved:
If you manage to get rid of the Expression:
Shaved, no Expression:
For some reason you also get a custom portrait if you go fascist enough:
And shaved fascist:
I don't know why but the blurry portrait creeps me tf out
Neat!
Not different, it's just fuzzy and you can't make out the face, I did the same thing in one of my playthroughs
🤯
Games are fantasy and I fully support whatever you like to see. Want to see skimpy women? Excellent! Want to see Giga Chad dudes? You go girl! Want to see beat down dirty protagonist? That's a-ok!
This whole fighting and shaming for fantasy role-play needs to stop.
god, thanks to these meme, i hate all people equally again
I actually thought this kind of degenerate nonsense was someone joking but today I saw a mod for Baldur's Gate 3 to make Gortash "handsome," so I'm obviously out of touch.
Gortash actually is supposed to be younger and more attractive, according to the narrator at several points.
The funny thing is that conventionally its the left one that was attractive. Todays standards for men are actually more traditionally feminine. I dont really care but its funny to find gaping holes in logic like this.
Todays standards for men are actually more traditionally feminine
*giggles in baroque and rococo*
Do you mean like men liking blue, instead of pink? As traditionally blue is a gentle colour, meant for girls, whereas pink is strong and vibrant, and meant for boys.

OG joel looks better. Only reason the new guy at the top looks better is because hes vaguely reminiscent of luigi
Good call!
