The Thread Where You Carefully Pose Your Character and Take a Picture and Post It

The best part of Ghotimonger 's Dragon Age screenshot is the look on Morrigan's face. Everyone else is trying for false innocence, but Morrigan's expression is far more honest: "Whoo, boy." Or, alternately, "WTF did I just get myself into?"

I'm completely in love with the look of the Balder Knight chest piece (at least as long as you're Hollow) and I'm currently looking for a Gargoyle shield and some leggings that will fit in nicely with the whole Legionnaire from Hell look I'm going for here.

Eagle shield looks just like a legionnaire shield :-)

No Eve pilots?!

Here's Western Front, hero of the Blue Republic (though she's wearing green in these pictures -- shut up, CCP haven't invented costume dyes yet). She flies bulky battleships that comfortably project damage over 100km and are tanky enough to ignore the tickles of smaller enemies.

And with more appropriate sartorial sense / less other sense is Vess Starfire, champion of Red Federation. Vess is a specialist in piloting very fast ships directly towards the enemy while using guns with an optimal range of ~4km.

Right. I promise to stop after this one. It's probably the best screenshot I've ever taken. I even use it as a desktop image.

What's it from?

Dark Souls. On the PC.

My old buddy GMicek is playing through XCom right now and apparently made "me" the commander of his team. He's sending me e-mails describing some pretty crazy missions where everyone but my character dies horribly and I'm one hit away from death, but the mission still succeeds. So here is, uh, Colonel Me.



Last mission description (honestly I don't know what half this stuff is, but it sounds rad):

You have a very small head.

A couple of my favorite mechs from MWO.

That Awesome is SWEET.

Tell him to put you in Archangel or Ghost armor. WTF, man?

Message sent!

Yeah, the hunchback is a bit less... striking. The "dazzle" zebra pattern was an attempt to make it harder for people to specifically target the side torso (where I have an XL engine), but I'm not sure it has much effect.

Similarly, the Awesome (which also has an XL engine) is a more subtle attempt at redirecting people to shoot me in the more heavily armored center torso. Though since most everyone runs around in heat vision 90% of the time it probably doesn't have much impact either. At least it looks better though!

I figured it was just a totally bitchin paint job.

A shot of my Dragon's Dogma character in his finest hour:



It's a pity I didn't take a closer/clearer shot, it was a pretty rare opportunity. Those who recognise the place this shot was taken will know why.

Your character seems very blase for a dragonslayer. What is that, a light tunic and some slacks? Had a business lunch after some dragonslaying? :D

Eh, he hates all that clunky armour stuff, and that place is hot enough as it is (seriously, all that blurred graphics in the picture? It's because of the heat haze). He figured he might as well feel comfortable while fighting.

Does it count as carefully posed if your character is already stationary? Here's my current Baldur's Gate II character.

The helmet, oh man, that would be the most annoying thing to wear. The face reminds me of the bad cop from the Walking Dead tv series.

Here's my GW2 guardian, finally in some armor that actually looks like armor*. I tinted it brass and iron.



In an eerie twist of fate, of the 5 alts that I made on launch day, the one I ended up going to level 51 with is the one I named the same as my (long abandoned) WoW main ... :) 80 or bust!

*yes I know that a catch point between the two oversized chest protuberances is a terrible idea for armor. :P I'm just glad it actually covers all of gw2!me!

I would pose my lowbie Necromancer but apparently this class doesn't get clothing until a later level. I'll check in when I find some robes!

If it's a female Necromancer ... good luck. :/

Not that males do much better. I'd post mine, but ... I mean, it looks wrong to begin with, and it looks even more wrong on a Norn.

My charr necro has clothes! She's also level 1! And I will probably never actually play her! But still!

Yeah, I have to admit I am morbidly curious now.

Haha, it's not that it's bad, it's just ...

...

not right.

Mainly because Norn male anatomy is not right.

Edit: Here he is.



It's like ... half native American kitsch, half Rob Liefeld tribute, half .... I don't know, bike pants?? and all wrong.

As an aside, I really adore GW2 vistas. Here I am "posing" in the upper left hand corner. :D



No, I'm not actually sure who that is. :P Probably the Guardian though, she really gets the majority of play.

Yeah, as someone new to GW2 I'm a little floored that, at any given moment, whatever I'm looking at blows away anything I've ever seen in any other MMO. Random sample:



And yes, Operation Pants has been completed.

This is my current transmog look for my alliance monk in World of Warcraft. I finally got the blindfold from Black Temple last week.

Haha, man is that true, especially if you pick the "skinny" one (which it looks like you did). The skinny little chicken legs on mine (he's an elementalist) make him look so fucking silly. <3

I generally liked this thread so I have no qualms about posting from Spore's character creator something I forgot about and just found on my hard drive.

Behold, THE POGO


He's kind of a dick.

Self-portrait?

Nuthin' but luv.

The only reason I would have ever bought Spore would have been to see a whole clan of those things multiplying and jumping around like... Pogos.

Seeing tribes of my friends' creatures bumming around on my planet was pretty much the only thing I found enjoyable about Spore.

My Soul is Dark:

And now for some more Dark Souls!

Practicing! Dammit -- straighten your knee, don't stick your ass out, extend your arm first, and don't jerk your head.


That's a big crow! Found a shield I like too.


Ready.


Return to the Asylum.


In Blighttown, with my stealthy anti-Poison gear and the Fog Ring to belay those damn Poison Darters.

Ebly bought me Torchlight 2 so I made an Embermage. What did you fucking expect.

Dual-wielding wands makes me cackle like a galactic idiot.
(You may not think that this is carefully posed, but the scroll-wheel on my mouse is pretty much buggered so it takes a long time to zoom in without everything having a seizure in an earthquake.)
