Please SSG, no more nerfs. Thank you!
PDK's are NOT fat in my opinion. They are BUFF,
Bodbuilding types.

Bodybuilders look fat in a tie and suit but really have less bodyfat than most supermodels. It's actually not healthy.

So, what do you think?

This is not the title you're looking for
Halfhumans are awesome.

When played as bears. Big bear, and don't have to look at their half-orc-human-mutant body. Win-win.

They literally are half-orc knockoffs, they used the Horc model as the base for PDK, hence the chonkiness

Though honestly its just about the neck/shoulders, thats what makes them seem so disproportionate. Give em a neck and a chin and they'll look human again.

The problem with PDK isn't that they're "fat", it's that it's an entirely different style of art than the rest of the game. "Comic-book exaggeration" basically. They don't even look remotely human or human-like. They look comic and comedic.

Take WoW as an example. NONE of that looks remotely real, but all of the art "fits" because it's all in the same style. DDO broke their chosen aesthetic with PDK and thus it looks stand-out weird.

They look like mutants. Their proportions are very poor, if they were meant to be comic-book hero proportions they were way off and should have been modeled more like warforged.

I just wish their proportions were more Schwarzenegger in his Conan prime and less discount Warhammer/Warcraft.
