So, the reason for this topic is to get the opinion of other players, male and female, on whether the default settings are too big or what? Should I pay more attention to my characters breast size than I do? Make them smaller, because that's "more realistic" or what? |

Did you know that women start raging with Herpes as soon as you marry them? Sounds like a personal problem to me, but if I got herpes from my husband I would probably rage as well.
Would that be the honeymoon gift that keeps on giving?
Ok, so when I make female alts, I tend to make them more "streamlined" for combat. I tend to think that if this were real life and there was a real female superhero, that "bigger" woudl only get in the way.
Although, I made one alt a few years ago and I used to play her a lot. Then my girlfriend, and her friend, told me to make the chest bigger because the alt would look more "attractive." Well, I did. I don't think I've played that alt more than 5 times since I "upgraded" her. :/

A perfect game would allow for the female breast slider to span all the way from "washboard flat" to "incredibly uber-normous".|

Longer answer: The only people interested in making flat or small chested females are a small minority of the small minority that is roleplayers, same as the people who want to make guys that don't look like they live in the gym, so as long as the vast majority of people run around going 'lol, I have no neck' or 'lol, tiny bikini with giant breasts' and pay up.....no one design wise cares so everyone just has to deal. |
With a range of choices that complete everyone would be happy with it.
But (as has been mentioned already) this game is based on graphic modeling technology that's at least 6+ years old. The body models were limited by the numbers of polygons they could deal with and certain compromises had to be made. There was no way they could make one basic female model look good when very flat and also look reasonable when very large. You'd have worry about being able to adjust torso sizes and the other textures involved, all of which is beyond the current capabilities of this game.
Since we couldn't have any size we wanted it made sense to define the limits of what we could have to the "typical superheroine" range. Of course as we all know most superheroines tend to have a surplus in this body region so it's not surprising that the game was ultimately hardwired to be more top-heavy than real life. This skew towards bigness might technically be unrealistic, but at least it does fit within the game's expectations.
So basically we are limited to Power Girl sized chests because Power Girl is the quintessential example of what most superheroines look like. I suppose if most superheroines were flat-chested then all of our characters would be too.
But there's another theory as to why we are forced to accept non-flat female chests in a game like this and it's fairly controversial and perhaps even a bit creepy. As the theory goes the Devs of games like this want to make sure it's relatively hard to make a female character look like a child for the purposes of discouraging people from doing naughty things to them. The Devs don't want to get complaints from parents about being able hurt (physically or sexually) characters that look like young girls. Thus the easiest way to prevent that is to force everyone to have very obvious adult-looking breasts on our females even at the smallest settings.
Personally I'd hate to think we were not allowed to have realistically flat female chests because the Devs are worried about a handful of perverts out there. But all things considered I'm betting they aren't too upset that circumstances have allowed them to dodge that bullet regardless.

Well, the 'slapdash construction' of the poor girl led to... some costume errors. The most notable one being that I played with her height and proportions a little, but forgot to mess with the chestslider. As a result, she's ridiculously well-proportioned for her age (I learned from the mistake with further characters, but by the time I was able to fix it on Yuki, she was well-established as being well-endowed as an RP trait, so I left it in).
On the other hand, I did deliberately max the breastslider on one of my ladies, since she's a cowgirl of the bovine variety, and dairy cow jokes did abound. Was one of my favorite jokey characters for a long time.
So I've played characters at every point on the boobscale and I haven't EVER had anyone call me out on it, or refuse to RP with me because of it (They've refused on grounds of more reasonable things, like good taste...). So, I think you're just plain unlucky to have to deal with someone who's sensibilities are so finely tuned to the booben of pixels.
Seriously.
