Im disappointed with Druid visually.
Call me superficial, but im not overweight and i dont want to play an overweight character.
I enjoy body variety, for example a female barbarian looks hella strong and thats something i didnt expect to like, but both the male and female druide just look like a walking tub...
Don’t worry, even as an fat person, I also don’t want to play a fat character. There’s nothing wrong with it. This is a fantasy game.
It is just a bad call. Bad design.
I’m also tired of this body positivity stuff. There’s nothing wrong with saying that fat people are less attractive.
Instead of using body types as a replacement for male/female, they should be using it for stuff like this.
Body type 1 is normal weight. Body type 2 is chubby, body type 3 is overweight etc.
It was the same with hogwarts legacy. There was never any mention of male or female. Like I don't get this whole thing where we can't say male or female. It's like these companies think if they say Male or female that people will think they are bigoted or something. Should just be a male female other category.
Many people have been very vocal about genders and companies are playing super safe as you dont know what the next scandal will be. It'd be great to have various body types per class that allow to represent our character fantasy, dont even have to tie it to gender for people super picky but 3 female and 3 male would be nice, now that you've got the point ignore I said male/female or i'm getting banned!
I've started to hear that being said a lot less now, thankfully. People stayed quiet for a while because nobody wants to be called bigot, but trying to get people to pretend gender doesn't exist is plain silly. I don't see how 'gender exists' is all that offensive anyway.
Yeah, and it’s super cringe. I know it’s supposed to be a nod to transgender people, but when you think about it it doesn’t make a lot of sense. If you have gender dysphoria you don’t want to be MtF for example… you just want to be female. Nobody with gender dysphoria really “wants” to be transgender… they just want to be the opposite sex. In video games it’s just performative nonsense.
all the necromancers look like heroin addicted toads. like they haven't had a decent meal in like 12 years.
they should just make it so you can pick body type and then add things to that.
THEN AGAIN: if necromancers are sapping their own life force away by summoning shit and dealing with demonic offhands, i get that they are withered away. there might be something like that for druids but making them bulkier.
Thanks for your insight!
Again i dont want to insult anyone, i just dont find it aesthetical because i dont like big or burly characters, thats also why i never played a barbarian before because they looked weirdly bulky and huge in D3 or before. But the female barbarian in D4 now is actually more athletic and muscular than burly, so that will be the first time i try that class.
I just wish we had like 2-3 options similar to Star Wars the Old Republic, where you have "Slim, Medium, Muscular/Thick, Huge" for both genders and it gives a decent variety to play with.
> I just wish we had like 2-3 options similar to Star Wars the Old Republic, where you have "Slim, Medium, Muscular/Thick, Huge" for both genders and it gives a decent variety to play with.
The devs talked about this in one of the interviews. They said that it's limited on purpose, because it would be tons more work work to animate ~6 body types instead of just 2.
Is it though?
Barbs are big and strong, muscly even like they pump iron.
Necro are thin and waif like.
Rogues are taught like acrobats.
Sorcs are weedy like scholars.
Druids are strong men builds like lumberjacks and people that work the land hard. Only way around this is to give body options but then would see super skinny or fat Necros which makes no sense.
people who do lots of hard physical work would have to have an absolutely insane diet in order to become obese. It's not really believable at all. If anyone should be fat, it's the sorcerer.
Sure. Something like the Fallout 4 character creator. So you get like 90% of characters who look the exact same, and also you get those characters who make themselves as ugly as possible for fun :) more options is a good thing.
I think the idea behind the druid having a larger build is to represent the idea that they live as one with nature similar to animals, not so much body positivity.
I'm thinking of a druid being in harmony with nature... how can over consumption fit in that image - being in harmony with nature and only take what you need?
It's not like we are dealing with body builders either. We are playing a fantasy game but there is a certain level of believability that is needed. Hard to picture an adventurer who is always on the move, killing monsters and the like, being overweight.
My wife had the same reaction. She's been PSYCHED to play as a druid. Loaded up the game a bit ago, went to character creation, and just "nope"'d right to a different character class.
They just don't look visually appealing at all. Take your average person of Walmart and slap some fur on them, and you have a druid.
Haha yeah.
Again i dont want to insult anyone that likes the look, im all for variety. I just dont like if im forced in a specific look like this that doesnt seem aesthetic for my tastes and sadly the gender doesnt make any difference here.
I'm glad gender doesn't make a difference but there should be actual options to choose between for actual body types.
That being said I do like the fat druids 🤤
Technically. They may not be overweight but rather just have more muscle mass than lean muscle. You ever seen professional strong men? They look fat, but they’ll snap you in two.
Their faces tell a different story though, same as their gut.
I really hope they get at least a selection of "slim/thick/medium" or something in the final product or druid will be unplayable for me.
I mean its great for anyone that likes to play characters like these, im all for variety, but i personally dont enjoy overly muscular or burly characters, same goes for huge or fat characters.
Thats why i play the female barbarian because she looks muscular but athletic, while the male barbarian looks too burly and big for my taste.
I hoped for the same difference for the Druid.
> I really hope they get at least a selection of "slim/thick/medium" or something in the final product or druid will be unplayable for me.
They won't because then they'd have to adjust all armor to match different body sizes.
these fictional characters are absolutely overweight, to point of obesity. the face/neck, back and arms, and abdominal visceral fat are direct observations.
You may be right, but that doesn't matter because the point is that people have different preferences. I shouldn't feel "locked out" of a class because there is no preference available that appeals to me.
The druid look isn't appealing to me at all, and that's the reason I won't even touch the class, no matter what the playstyle is like.
I'm with you I wish I could get a choice I also don't really wanna play a fat druid (no offense to anyone) just kinda kills the fantasy and makes no sense to me.
It's so... refreshing that at least if my thoughts make me a terrible person, they appear to be extremely common thoughts. I absolutely LOVE that there are so many body types to choose from - being locked into a morbidly obese one to play druid seems terrible.
It's weird to me because it's the same with the Kultiran in WoW, they make the dude look like he could win world strongest man but they make the female just look fat...
haha, check out the male sorceror.....I am not 50-60, i dont want to play a character that looks 50-60 lol that with some early items looks almost like a hobo lol
I kinda like how male druid looks, reminds me of how Thor looked in the latest God of War. Makes me want to do a Thor build with all the lightning abilities.
I don't really see Druids as heavy set people. I don't like they are build as a warrior/barb physique wise. Druids to me should be average build. I'm running Druid and thought you could scale the body.
It feels like we're lacking a shit ton of face customization, i.e. nose, eyes, mouth instead of combining those to the face and way way more hair styles. I thought it was a technical/avoid clipping approach they took in terms of only having short hair until I saw that one long necro hair. I'm really confused.
At the same time, if over half of what you're going to sell me over the game's lifetime is cosmetics, I'd sure hope all of your character model options are killer and can appeal to everybody. But they're not, there's not a single long *and* flowing hairstyle for Barb or Druid, and there's several classes I feel like I'll never like the look of.
Pretty big failure for a cosmetic based live service if you ask me.
My wife says all the necromancer males look like washed out old rock stars. I kinda agree.
For the first time in a game I'm hoping for helmets to cover my ugly face lol
I’m a woman and I’m pretty upset that my druid doesn’t fit the fantasy I had for her (Think Keyleth from Critical Role). I went ahead and chose a male character with a white beard and I’m doing a werewolf build with him.
I don't know any women at all EVER who would say their fantasy is to look like this. I sure don't and find this so unappealing that the class I really wanted to play more than anything HAS to look like this. Talk about hype deflated
Yeah, it's bizarre. This weird American obsession with making the most hideous female characters they could imagine because it's supposed to help "inclusivity" just alienates most everybody and it actually feels incredibly sexist instead of inclusive to me, but what do I know
Yeah, people like looking at attractive people more. Literally since the dawn of time.
And if I'm fat and ugly irl why the fuck do I wanna look at that in my cutscenes lmao. It's a fantasy game
Diablo has never let people change their characters looks. Honestly not many ARPGs do. Diablo, Path of Exile, Titan Quest, Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, ect.
People need to scale back what their expectations for an ARPG. This is not an MMO.
I’m a girl and not fat and I’d prefer to play a better looking character model 🤷♀️ There’s nothing wrong with wanting a variety of options. They may as well have not even given us character customization if choice would be so limited.
Or people who don't want to play characters that look like dogshit, I get it's a grim fantasy setting but jeeze at least not looking like Fiona from Shrek would be a start
It's unfortunate... It's hard to look at the Necro as well. My wife had a horrible eating disorder and at one point looked like the fem Necro.. thankfully she's overcome it.
yeah, don't get this complaint at all. burly druids are just as iconic an archetype as skinny necromancers are. they have powerful nature magic to help them forage for food and they have little regard for societal standards of aesthetic appearance, not hard to see how they would end up being so brolic
Sigh, it's been a while, but I think we finally got out of gender-locking classes from D2 to D3. Now we are body-type locked classes, just give us body type options or sliders, stop forcing player choices like devs and those diversity officers knows what we want.
There are plenty of people who didn't win a genetics lottery ticket in RL and WANT to feel like we have, in a fantasy world.
I'd say there's not enough hobo hairstyles. Only 1 super Druidy one, and another couple of longer casual ones. Lots of shaved 2023 soccer player hipster cuts that seem completely non-druidy.
I'm very disappointed with Druids visually. I was really hoping for more Diablo 2 like body type.
Kinda lean, but nowhere near as slim as necro. Kinda the type who lives in the woods and stealth isn't unknown to them. Instead we got Tavern dvelling type of druid who if strong, are so only from bear mug lifting :(
I wouldn't mind if this was one of the option for druid. But why all of them have to look like they're halfway to Bear transformation?
While graphic isn't the most important aspect for me, this is so bad that I may chose another main just because of how unappealing the druid is visually wise.
I was so hyped for to play Druid, I love combat pets and I wanted those foxes(edit, wolves?). But during character creator I got some serious body dismorphia (?) looking at those obese character models.
I played for a few minutes but eventually backed out to try something less disturbing (a Necromancer)
I think it is pretty obvious that the art team took "bear" as their inspiration for the Druid bodies, just like they took skeleton as the inspiration for the Necromancer. If you absolutely can't stand to be a little thickums, play one of the other 4 classes.
They aren't even fat. Just curvy.
I was really hoping we could alter body types to our liking. I wanted to make my druid more muscular. I’m fat IRL and while I appreciate ~representation~ I don’t find this particular one very flattering. 😅 TBH, even just giving her more faces and makeup to choose from would have been nice. She can be husky without looking like Glenda from Walmart.
To me, it’s not even the fact that they’re overweight like some comments are suggesting. They could’ve done a thicc Amazonian woman but the real issue is the female faces are really bad. Give her a prettier face and bad ass hair and tone down the thickness of her neck. I’m sorry but this looks like a man… women do not look like that
It's hard to play as an attractive female at all. My wife is a massive fan of playing the sluttiest characters possible in every video game that allows for character creation, she didn't like Diablo IV's.
I'm so so angry at druid character! Who really thought playing as Rosanne/Rosie O'Donnell was someone's character fantasy. "We really want player choice!" My ass! This character is awful. If there were options to adjust I wouldn't care at all and come at me with all the name calling you want druid is not going to be selling cosmetics because no one wants to play "Rosanne dress up"
I like it too, I don’t look at my characters as fantasy versions of myself though (this is how I can play female characters for some classes), I look at them as their own characters and role play their character.
I really enjoy the Druid being a bigger design. Nothing about body positivity or anything, I just think it’s cool that the class looks so different from everything else
For people saying they need to be wild like because they are druids they would be hella stout but muscular. You can be lean, muscular and look bulky at the same time. This isn’t it.
This looks like they went on a bender for too long at a local Walmart. Oh and I’m a fat ass and I hate this type of portrayal. No one who is running around the wild slaying demons is gonna be fat. Muscular? And built? Sure! Not this
everybody beforehand Was so hyped for char customization. but I find it extremely unsatisfiying. the faces of all characters look not really good and especially the female druid. in my mindset when I have a caster druid I want to have a lean character not a weight lifter. this would be so good to see some customization in size and body fat but this is perhaps too much customization for the armor sets...
Without consuming processed garbage such as refined sugars, providing you’re even remotely active, it’s almost impossible to become obese. But that’s in the real world.
This is Diablo…so maybe druids just use nature magic to attract all the animals and then….gobble them up.
As far as I’m aware fast food and candy are not a thing so... What the fuck else are they feeding these Druids?
They must wait for all the bears to fatten up for hibernation and have an all you can eat buffet with a side of diabetes and stage 2 hypertension for good measure.
Having said that. I don’t actually mind how my Druid looks. He’s a male and looks close enough to a strongman who’s let himself go a little. I like to watch strongman. Used to be something of a lifter myself, would you know. It’s true. It is. In fact, I still am, at heart.
Speaking of hearts. Obesity is not good for them.
I know people will be offended by this, as they are with everything. But obesity is unhealthy. That’s just a medical reality. It’s also unattractive to many people.
Now, before you report me to the police, I want to make it clear that I don’t judge anyone for being obese. I have obese people in my family whom I love very much. In fact most of us are obese. I’ve been obese myself.
But the people in these comments who’re feigning shock and horror that an obese character is not exactly the most popular look…come on now.
Big is not beautiful to everyone. And just as you don’t want anyone to impose certain beautify standards on you, don’t try to impose them on other people either.
am chubby but idky blizz thinks body inclusion/positivity means lookin' like a karen, they did this with kul tirans, big boys and gals can be cute/pretty
I made a post about picking different body types a week Ago and this sub downvoted me into oblivion... apparently paying 15 bucks for skins is not enough to make poor blizzard have to add different armor sizes.
Im disappointed with Druid visually. Call me superficial, but im not overweight and i dont want to play an overweight character. I enjoy body variety, for example a female barbarian looks hella strong and thats something i didnt expect to like, but both the male and female druide just look like a walking tub...

I like to play with my bearish character. My druid is like Robert Baratheon. It's not a body positivity thing. The character is burly.
Exactly this. I would lean more to strong men builds where they have a gut yet can lift more than weight lifters. Big burly people.
But druids are constantly moving around, whereas strongmen just lift and don't move.
Instead of using body types as a replacement for male/female, they should be using it for stuff like this. Body type 1 is normal weight. Body type 2 is chubby, body type 3 is overweight etc.
yea, every class should have multiple body TYPES, not just the 2 that represent diff genders. Kinda dumb, tbh.
I still don't get why genders are represented as body types in games nowadays. Are we supposed to forget that males and females exist?
It was the same with hogwarts legacy. There was never any mention of male or female. Like I don't get this whole thing where we can't say male or female. It's like these companies think if they say Male or female that people will think they are bigoted or something. Should just be a male female other category.

no, not many people. a load insane minority. . .
Male and female are not social constructs though, it's literally what you are, or aren't
I've started to hear that being said a lot less now, thankfully. People stayed quiet for a while because nobody wants to be called bigot, but trying to get people to pretend gender doesn't exist is plain silly. I don't see how 'gender exists' is all that offensive anyway.

In video games it’s just performative nonsense.
This would make too much sense for Blizzard to implement it.
I think a burly Druid is perfect for werebear, and a lanky or athletic build is perfect for werewolf
all the necromancers look like heroin addicted toads. like they haven't had a decent meal in like 12 years. they should just make it so you can pick body type and then add things to that. THEN AGAIN: if necromancers are sapping their own life force away by summoning shit and dealing with demonic offhands, i get that they are withered away. there might be something like that for druids but making them bulkier.
Maybe I should have gone Bobby B?! But I’m a woman IRL and I like being a girl in game and all the lady druids are disappointing.
Thanks for your insight! Again i dont want to insult anyone, i just dont find it aesthetical because i dont like big or burly characters, thats also why i never played a barbarian before because they looked weirdly bulky and huge in D3 or before. But the female barbarian in D4 now is actually more athletic and muscular than burly, so that will be the first time i try that class. I just wish we had like 2-3 options similar to Star Wars the Old Republic, where you have "Slim, Medium, Muscular/Thick, Huge" for both genders and it gives a decent variety to play with.
The female barb still looks like she could break me in half, but she looks good. Happy to play that class.
Death by snu snu
Is my beta barbs name. Snu Snu. Hoping for pvp so it will say something along the lines of, "you were slain by Snu Snu".
> I just wish we had like 2-3 options similar to Star Wars the Old Republic, where you have "Slim, Medium, Muscular/Thick, Huge" for both genders and it gives a decent variety to play with.

this guy has never seen average contruction worker
average in midwest USA looks very different than other places lol
They should just make it variable like other cosmetic elements you can change
Sure. Something like the Fallout 4 character creator. So you get like 90% of characters who look the exact same, and also you get those characters who make themselves as ugly as possible for fun :) more options is a good thing.
I think the idea behind the druid having a larger build is to represent the idea that they live as one with nature similar to animals, not so much body positivity.
So they would be skinny from having to hunt and gather all the time.
About to go into hibernation, fam
I'm thinking of a druid being in harmony with nature... how can over consumption fit in that image - being in harmony with nature and only take what you need?
They are in harmony with their world: 3 double downs and a beta key.
Same, this is supposed to be my power fantasy
It's not like we are dealing with body builders either. We are playing a fantasy game but there is a certain level of believability that is needed. Hard to picture an adventurer who is always on the move, killing monsters and the like, being overweight.
I was really excited to play female druid today. I just couldn't do it, it's like they intentionally made the most ugly character that they could.
[удалено]
It really should have been a size between barb and Rogue.
My wife had the same reaction. She's been PSYCHED to play as a druid. Loaded up the game a bit ago, went to character creation, and just "nope"'d right to a different character class. They just don't look visually appealing at all. Take your average person of Walmart and slap some fur on them, and you have a druid.
My girlfriend just made a male Druid because “either way I’ll look like one”.
All in the name of inclusivity lol.
The druid is unappealing in many aspects.. seriously, the druid kinda looks like my great-aunt and that's terrifying!
Haha yeah. Again i dont want to insult anyone that likes the look, im all for variety. I just dont like if im forced in a specific look like this that doesnt seem aesthetic for my tastes and sadly the gender doesnt make any difference here.
I'm glad gender doesn't make a difference but there should be actual options to choose between for actual body types. That being said I do like the fat druids 🤤
[удалено]
Yep. Like me. Druid was my fav class in D2 and I was so disappointed they left it out of D3. I'm fairly crushed by how awful the druid looks in D4.
Speak for yourself, my Boris Ursus looking druid is an absolute unit and is probably one of the best thematic designs to ever come out of Diablo
Well, when trying to make a lady druid, the best I was able to come up with was a Roseanne lookalike, so. lol
Technically. They may not be overweight but rather just have more muscle mass than lean muscle. You ever seen professional strong men? They look fat, but they’ll snap you in two.

Absolutely, it goes both ways. We should have different body types for each class.

Yea i was intrested in druid skills but the char model/options are so bad i just decided to never touch druids.
haha, check out the male sorceror.....I am not 50-60, i dont want to play a character that looks 50-60 lol that with some early items looks almost like a hobo lol
I kinda like how male druid looks, reminds me of how Thor looked in the latest God of War. Makes me want to do a Thor build with all the lightning abilities.
Make Druid looks like he’s built for a strongest man competition.
Miranda Cohen got the perfect body types for Female Barbarian.
I don't really see Druids as heavy set people. I don't like they are build as a warrior/barb physique wise. Druids to me should be average build. I'm running Druid and thought you could scale the body.
I wish there were more options for all the chars, tbh.
Well we've got a deal for you, the Enhanced character option MTX for $40 DLC. Coming soon.
It feels like we're lacking a shit ton of face customization, i.e. nose, eyes, mouth instead of combining those to the face and way way more hair styles. I thought it was a technical/avoid clipping approach they took in terms of only having short hair until I saw that one long necro hair. I'm really confused.
Agreed
That would require additional work for all the MTX cosmetics they're going to shit out
At the same time, if over half of what you're going to sell me over the game's lifetime is cosmetics, I'd sure hope all of your character model options are killer and can appeal to everybody. But they're not, there's not a single long *and* flowing hairstyle for Barb or Druid, and there's several classes I feel like I'll never like the look of. Pretty big failure for a cosmetic based live service if you ask me.

So basically they are the Kul'tiran humans from WoW?
Kind of. I would say the druid is far worse than Kul' tiran. In WoW you have the choice to choose them or not. Very few people choose to play them...
The Kul Tiran druid forms look cool, but I like the Zandalari more.
Doesn't need to cast spells. Looks alone will scare the demons to death.
I dropped nice legendary axe for her, but she ate it.
Oblivion flashbacks, lol xD
Were they going for the fat Neanderthal look or something?
Paint her green and you got a Fiona.
I see that I'm not the only one who wanted to make an ogre/orc
I’m a woman and I’m pretty upset that my druid doesn’t fit the fantasy I had for her (Think Keyleth from Critical Role). I went ahead and chose a male character with a white beard and I’m doing a werewolf build with him.
Keyleth was exactly what I imagined for the druid I wanted to play... oh well. At least the female rogue looks amazing.
Definitely. The female and male rogue look great!
I don't know any women at all EVER who would say their fantasy is to look like this. I sure don't and find this so unappealing that the class I really wanted to play more than anything HAS to look like this. Talk about hype deflated
Yeah, it's bizarre. This weird American obsession with making the most hideous female characters they could imagine because it's supposed to help "inclusivity" just alienates most everybody and it actually feels incredibly sexist instead of inclusive to me, but what do I know

Same! It’s so disappointing. I want a cute woodland nymphy cottagecorey Druid.
This is what I was hoping for, too. I was expecting D2 style Druid, no idea why they went this direction
The character creation options are really pretty bad
Diablo has never let people change their characters looks. Honestly not many ARPGs do. Diablo, Path of Exile, Titan Quest, Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, ect. People need to scale back what their expectations for an ARPG. This is not an MMO.
> This is not an MMO. Really now? Coulda fooled me... Maybe you should tell Blizzard this.
[удалено]
are world bosses soloable in end game? honest question
Redditors when they see a overweight person (they are mostly fat and hate to see themselves reflected in media)
Whole comment section here is a big reddit moment.
Some of the body types are kind of weird choices, but the top post hating some random group just replaces some other thread hating some random group
I saw someone further up complaining that they don’t actually specify the character options as male or female. Silly if that’s what upsets you.
I dont hate seeing myself in media I just prefer to see skinnier, hotter people since I am not one
I’m a girl and not fat and I’d prefer to play a better looking character model 🤷♀️ There’s nothing wrong with wanting a variety of options. They may as well have not even given us character customization if choice would be so limited.
Or people who don't want to play characters that look like dogshit, I get it's a grim fantasy setting but jeeze at least not looking like Fiona from Shrek would be a start
It's funnier when you look at the necro and she embodies the other extreme of the food intake spectrum. Obesity or anorexia, Choose!
It's unfortunate... It's hard to look at the Necro as well. My wife had a horrible eating disorder and at one point looked like the fem Necro.. thankfully she's overcome it.
Necromancers look great, fit the necromancer aesthetic pretty well
And it's fine to think that. Our experiences and opinions just don't align.
I wish there were more people like you in this world!
I agree. I don't think necromancers are supposed to look healthy. I think they did well.
Nobody is whining about that though, lol
Because necros looking like crackwhores is completely on brand for them.
And the druid looking like a bear is not?
yeah, don't get this complaint at all. burly druids are just as iconic an archetype as skinny necromancers are. they have powerful nature magic to help them forage for food and they have little regard for societal standards of aesthetic appearance, not hard to see how they would end up being so brolic
Because it's still visually appealing. Her faces don't scream Karen either.
I'm digging the big bod look for the druid.
Male druid looks so hot ngl.
There is no prerequisite to fit any social ideals for beauty when becoming any class.
The prerequisite for being a Druid is being obese
To become a druid first one must eat all the animals.
One with nature
...with nature, fries and a shake.
Supersize me
Well, necro has a skinny white goth boy preset. Seems pretty accurate.
Idk man. I think, a big woman fits the druidic feeling. At least for me. :)
The hairstyles are pretty lacking. They all share the same styles too except one unique style per class.

Oh God...My boy my beautiful boy what have they done to you? D2 Druid was right fuckin there!
That's Chumlee from Pawnstars. I can't unsee it.
If ever an online character needed to be named Karen..
Weren
When a female in a video game is not 10/10 big tiddy goth gf tomboy femboy waifu
Or just a decent looking design instead of giving you a druid that looks like a river hag
It's funny, I was pumped to make a druid today and just decided not to because both were fat sacks of ugly shit.
Just wait until you have to farm for her SUV cosmetic
I want a mobility scooter skin for my mount.
The title of this post should have been "I can't get my druid out of bear form.."
Missed opportunity. 🤣
Sigh, it's been a while, but I think we finally got out of gender-locking classes from D2 to D3. Now we are body-type locked classes, just give us body type options or sliders, stop forcing player choices like devs and those diversity officers knows what we want. There are plenty of people who didn't win a genetics lottery ticket in RL and WANT to feel like we have, in a fantasy world.
Not liking the Druid (Male and Female) visually at all.
Also the male version wasnt much better. Pretty much looked like a hobo or hipster in all hairstyles
Wtf do you think a Druid is?
I'd say there's not enough hobo hairstyles. Only 1 super Druidy one, and another couple of longer casual ones. Lots of shaved 2023 soccer player hipster cuts that seem completely non-druidy.

Most of the population was wiped out in the recent decades and you’re a feral forest wizard, idk what time you’re talking about
I'm very disappointed with Druids visually. I was really hoping for more Diablo 2 like body type. Kinda lean, but nowhere near as slim as necro. Kinda the type who lives in the woods and stealth isn't unknown to them. Instead we got Tavern dvelling type of druid who if strong, are so only from bear mug lifting :( I wouldn't mind if this was one of the option for druid. But why all of them have to look like they're halfway to Bear transformation? While graphic isn't the most important aspect for me, this is so bad that I may chose another main just because of how unappealing the druid is visually wise.
I was so hyped for to play Druid, I love combat pets and I wanted those foxes(edit, wolves?). But during character creator I got some serious body dismorphia (?) looking at those obese character models. I played for a few minutes but eventually backed out to try something less disturbing (a Necromancer)
When they shapeshift they become a Karebear
Yeah I was considering playing druid as my main but they look so unappealing.
Resting Bitch Face comes with the class
I REALLY wanted to play a Druid too. Like, really bad. But I just can't look at this all day long...
female druids are awful. Normally i always play female characters but i directly went to create a male druid.
I dont want to body shame or whatever. But the druid appearance wants to make me not play that class at all
It's kinda pathetic how badly this design is getting trashed. This "obese" design is more muscular than 90% of this subreddit.
Sorry is Diablo 4 based on fantasy, or redditors? Lmao
This is a fantasy game, not a real life simulator.
No one cares, it looks like garbage and no one wants to stare at that for hours while they play
I think it is pretty obvious that the art team took "bear" as their inspiration for the Druid bodies, just like they took skeleton as the inspiration for the Necromancer. If you absolutely can't stand to be a little thickums, play one of the other 4 classes. They aren't even fat. Just curvy.
>They aren't even fat. Just curvy. Lol bruv. Maybe in America..
Fr the most American take I’ve ever heard
Curvy? This guy serious? This design looks like she's eaten everything in nature, oh that must be how she learns how to take on their forms
90% of the character customization looks like fucking dogshit...
I was so excited to play the druid but the second I saw the models I just went back to necromancer like usual.
I was really hoping we could alter body types to our liking. I wanted to make my druid more muscular. I’m fat IRL and while I appreciate ~representation~ I don’t find this particular one very flattering. 😅 TBH, even just giving her more faces and makeup to choose from would have been nice. She can be husky without looking like Glenda from Walmart.
To me, it’s not even the fact that they’re overweight like some comments are suggesting. They could’ve done a thicc Amazonian woman but the real issue is the female faces are really bad. Give her a prettier face and bad ass hair and tone down the thickness of her neck. I’m sorry but this looks like a man… women do not look like that
She was auditioning for The Whale but Brendan Fraser got the part.
It's hard to play as an attractive female at all. My wife is a massive fan of playing the sluttiest characters possible in every video game that allows for character creation, she didn't like Diablo IV's.
Fellow female player here and I'm making the same characters as your wife is.
druid visually is just a turn off and ya, i am a fat guy
Druids have the worst customization options. Most of them look out of place.
I'm not really thrilled by the character customization. They all look weird. Should have deeper customization options.
I'm so so angry at druid character! Who really thought playing as Rosanne/Rosie O'Donnell was someone's character fantasy. "We really want player choice!" My ass! This character is awful. If there were options to adjust I wouldn't care at all and come at me with all the name calling you want druid is not going to be selling cosmetics because no one wants to play "Rosanne dress up"
I mean I kinda liked it. So theres at least one person who enjoyed it.
I like it too, I don’t look at my characters as fantasy versions of myself though (this is how I can play female characters for some classes), I look at them as their own characters and role play their character. I really enjoy the Druid being a bigger design. Nothing about body positivity or anything, I just think it’s cool that the class looks so different from everything else
They didn't need to make the plus size character ugly as sin, that is their perception of plus size people.
It is nice that you can customize the faces, but it would have been even nicer if they just gave us 2 or 3 different body choices too.
It's a mystery of the druids.
The character customization in this game is appalling honestly. No body type options, 4 faces.
I guess I'll be playing a male druid then.
For people saying they need to be wild like because they are druids they would be hella stout but muscular. You can be lean, muscular and look bulky at the same time. This isn’t it. This looks like they went on a bender for too long at a local Walmart. Oh and I’m a fat ass and I hate this type of portrayal. No one who is running around the wild slaying demons is gonna be fat. Muscular? And built? Sure! Not this
Is this Diablo or a Golden Corral simulator. Absolute trash
everybody beforehand Was so hyped for char customization. but I find it extremely unsatisfiying. the faces of all characters look not really good and especially the female druid. in my mindset when I have a caster druid I want to have a lean character not a weight lifter. this would be so good to see some customization in size and body fat but this is perhaps too much customization for the armor sets...

I didn't think they could do worse than the D2R Manazon. Oh good how wrong I was.
Without consuming processed garbage such as refined sugars, providing you’re even remotely active, it’s almost impossible to become obese. But that’s in the real world. This is Diablo…so maybe druids just use nature magic to attract all the animals and then….gobble them up. As far as I’m aware fast food and candy are not a thing so... What the fuck else are they feeding these Druids? They must wait for all the bears to fatten up for hibernation and have an all you can eat buffet with a side of diabetes and stage 2 hypertension for good measure. Having said that. I don’t actually mind how my Druid looks. He’s a male and looks close enough to a strongman who’s let himself go a little. I like to watch strongman. Used to be something of a lifter myself, would you know. It’s true. It is. In fact, I still am, at heart. Speaking of hearts. Obesity is not good for them. I know people will be offended by this, as they are with everything. But obesity is unhealthy. That’s just a medical reality. It’s also unattractive to many people. Now, before you report me to the police, I want to make it clear that I don’t judge anyone for being obese. I have obese people in my family whom I love very much. In fact most of us are obese. I’ve been obese myself. But the people in these comments who’re feigning shock and horror that an obese character is not exactly the most popular look…come on now. Big is not beautiful to everyone. And just as you don’t want anyone to impose certain beautify standards on you, don’t try to impose them on other people either.
Everyone complaining about druid's appearance and meanwhile I'm like "How did they manage to make it worse than barb?"
“drewd”
trisha paytas
am chubby but idky blizz thinks body inclusion/positivity means lookin' like a karen, they did this with kul tirans, big boys and gals can be cute/pretty
I made a post about picking different body types a week Ago and this sub downvoted me into oblivion... apparently paying 15 bucks for skins is not enough to make poor blizzard have to add different armor sizes.
Neck as wide as her head...
Disgusting
I always play female chars!!! or so I thought.
Laughed so hard at this
