Evennia and Saida take the crown, Evennia for her white outfit in the middle of the jungle and hawt tattoo, Saidra for her HAmazing russian accent and homosexual lesbian relationship to Evennia.

Cynn a close second. She's hot, don't get me wrong, but lesbian action > evil princess with an attitude.

As for guys, Mhenlo is adorable with his bald head -- just replace his voice actor. >_<
Close second: Kai Ying. That guy is my hero.

P.S. Anyone who mentions 'Togo' in this thread will surely get shot.

On a related note, did Kurzick women always look so... old? I could've sworn the one in Kryta was beautiful when she was still handing quests out in LA before Factions' release, but she's all old-looking now...

Give me a break.


That being said, I wonder if Mhenlo got my letters...

I was addressing the posters who were saying that the NPCs are just pixels and that people were pathetic or weird for finding them attractive. Hence the comparison with other ways of reproducing images that the posters saying such things probably find attractive.

Calling this stuff artwork is an industry term and I didn't think anyone would really think I was saying they were qualitatively similar to the Mona Lisa.

Finally, given the way some of these NPCs are "drawn," and the good likelihood that at least some of the character designers are men, I think they probably would be proud that their work had the desired effect. The women designers are probably more likely to think it's disgusting, though, I have no problem ceding that point.

My choice would be the two women on the Factions box art. I was a bit disappointed w/their in game representations. But over all, I think they've done an excellent job w/ the character designs.

Yes yes, you yourself have a very fulfiling life, you don't play GW, you sleep with hot babes all the time

You realise something? You take an internet forum way too seriously. Please go outside what people say on forums is not their real opinion. Discussions on forums are no where near the congressional debates.

Sheesh, don't take this so seriously, those of who you are looking here just to post your disapproval..

And like some other posters pointed out, you can't deny that sex appeal is a factor in GW. Just look at the covers of the boxes, or the in-game female outfits: 15k gladiator (I shall now tank with my leather bra!), 15k Druids, Enchanter's (go figure -- the skimpiest outfits give the most energy), ANY of the elementalists -- esp. in Factions. I mean, the female warrior Kurzick armor has a thong going up the ass! And just check out the IMPOSSIBLE bounce factor on the females when they emote. Blame Anet, not us!

Panaku is still hot as hell, though. xD

finding anything remotely appealing about a animated char is pretty sad, the thread about the decline in the quality of posts includes rubbish like this.

this isnt a flame but a reminder that there is a life beyond gaming and seriously if you are attracted to millions of little pixels then its time to visit a "doctor"

Thom is hot with his pot belly and mustache.

And to those posting to tell others how pathetic they are for thinking a bunch of pixels are attractive: We get it. You must be complete studs because you're posting to put down a bunch of people for this silly thread. The rest of us can't compete with you. Now leave us alone.

Ever heard the expression, "Me thinks the lady protests too hard" It means, a lot of times people who overreact with disgust to something are often the ones most drawn to it. That's why they try hard to voice their protest to cover it up.

ROFL. So true.

And to the people who keep saying for us all to 'get lives', finding a character visually appealling has nothing to do with not having a life.
Key words: VISUAL, and APPEAL.
It doesn't mean we get off on finding the characters remotely attractive, it's artistic value. Same as people who find anime characters cute or attractive, it's visual appeal. It's not like we all sit here going "Hey, I wanna **** Nika, YEAH. GW pr0n!!!!"
You can't deny that the GW box art is visually appealling, or that Devona in the Prophecies trailer is fairly attractive, AS IT STANDS IN THE VIDEO GAME WORLD. Not like people who obsess over characters like Cloud Strife, and vow never to date because their heart belongs with a 3-dimensional, and fictional character. No, the people of this forum may seem strange, but we're not mentally ill. And if I am mentally ill, get me Dr. Mei Lin Jones from Plastic Little, please, and thanks. hahaha.

Yes. Purely for fun.

Ok... I know I'm going to get flamed like ass right now, if you think a character composed of nothing but pixels is hot, you have reached even beyond the loser status. Please, breath some fresh air outside, take some time off the game, and get a REAL partner. Time to start flaming me!

Unbelievable. Some of you are WAYYY overreacting here. It seems to me you're the ones who need counseling. People arent even being serious here about which NPC is "hot" And when they say hot, it doesnt mean we're going to hump our computer screens.

Sheesh. Get a grip and stop trying to overcompensate. You're not impressing anyone.

Oh, I don't know. Anyone see that clip on Collegehumor.com starring the guy who gets caught masturbating to a dancing Night Elf in WoW? Check it out, it's good for some laughs.

I am totally drawn to this thread, between the people who post ridiculous responses *cough* Fortune Teller *cough* Talon *cough* ... and those who keep trying to make the rest of us feel like sick freaks. Sick freak for thinking pixels can make something attractive and appealing? Oh, you have no IDEA what it really means to be a sick freak.

The only difference between GW NPCs and reall life ppl is that they can't have you arrested for sexual harrasment.I don't find them attractive as real life human counterpart it is just look very nice for pixelated char. not like those cartooney looking WoW chars.

Dude.... it's not normal for people to "think" pixels are hot, the majority of people would freak out and laugh at a person who thinks pixels are hot.... whatever, continue on with this thread.

"Dude"...this is mostly a joke thread and people use the word "hot" really casually for anything. Youre overreacting. And you're freaking out like a drama queen.

Visual appeal can relate to absolutely anything.
It's the point of the concept art and the art in general, that's why they MAKE it, to APPEAL to the public. That's basically what everyone is saying when they claim a 'pixelated' character is 'hot'. It appeals to them. There's a vast difference in attraction to a human being an attraction to a fictional, rendered being.
Take some art classes or read a book about it, christ.
The same thing would apply to if you created your own character, drawn on paper, and a friend saw it and said, "Wow, that character is really attractive."
To which an art teacher would probably reply, "You should focus more on beings that people wouldn't normally consider attractive (stereotypically), every character created these days is attractive in some way or another to the public. People don't want to play heroes that are portrayed as fat slobs, they want buff, strong rendered males and sleak, fit, attractive females."
Words from my own art teacher. And the same thing applies with anything else media-related that has to appeal to the public. Nobody wants to see overweight women in bikinis in Maxim magazine, and I mean no offense to anybody who may possibly be overweight, but it's the truth. Media seeks only the visually appealling to get what it needs done, done.

So if you had a friend who thought that about a character you created, would you assume they were sick and needed to get a life? No.
We are not necessarily friends of the developers but we can acknowledge when they've done a good job rendering the female form, put it that way.

Stop overreacting.
The basis of this thread is a joke in the first place.

I'm going way too into this and overreacting myself.
Basically everyone stop overreacting or I will implode.

I love how people just sink themselves deeper and deeper into their own "mud" (or something like that).
Saying that a people who find a work of art (which is what all GW models are) attractive are wierd or mentally ill, is like saying that people who like cars are insane.
They are designed to appeal to the average people (both cars and the models), and so many will claim them to be attractive. They are not saying "I want to hump that Mercedes up the tailpipe", they are simply comenting that it is visually apealing.

Finally, next time you go to your porn sites (and I'm pretty sure you will), rember that what you are seeing is simply a bunch of pixels on your screen, because you will very likely never meet any of the people shown.

Artificial women have been around for as long as there has been humans capable of producing them.

As soon as the camera was invented pictures of women and men in various poses were made.

Some of the most famous works of the Renaissance were nude.

Some of the frescos in the Pompeii brothels would shock even the wildest swingers.

One of the most common stone and iron age finds are figurines of large breasted women, archeologist have assumed that they have some religious "Mother Earth" significance, but they could just as easy be to keep the hunters "company" on those long hunting expeditions.
