Ugly people should look ugly

I'd do her.

And here we go again...

Same here :wub:

And who shall be the judge?
Your taste, my taste or perhaps what we think was considered beautiful/ugly in the CK era?

Personally I prefer blonds, and as there are hardly any blonds in CK I've come to the conclusion (by using your logic) that the vast majority of females in the game should be given the ugly trait...

Exactly. Added to this, I would like to say that the opinion malus for gluttonous (AKA "fat") actually shouldn't be there... I mean at the time fatness meant status and power, I'd say women would dig that.

IIRC gluttonous doesn't mean fat, it just means you eat alot.

I always read that malus as being the ACTION rather than the result. As in eating like proverbial pigs. Rather like Denethor in this scene.

Spot on. I actually started a thread a short while back posing the question of why there isn't a fat trait.

nobody else has bred an exclusively ginger dynasty? CK2 red hair is actually really awesome

Gluttony is not just fatness, remember that the vices in this game are based on the SEVEN DEADLY SINS

i bet that most people in middle ages would look ugly by todays standards anyway

Have you seen the portrait of Giovanna Tornuaboni by Ghirlandaio? Phwoooooar!!! as we would put it in England. She was a beauty ideal even at the time (the poor thing died giving childbirth aged 20 in 1488).

A link to the portrait of poor old Jo:

I'm almost 100% certain that's a typo. The Hapsburgs aren't really well known for being Jews, although everyone knows of their infamous jaws.

I thought that too, but the E isn't really that close to the A on the keyboard. The way I read it, it seems fairly deliberate.

You are literally the greatest dumbass I've ever had the displeasure to have any communication with.

Careful there sunshine. That is well outside of forum rules, directly insulting someone on the forums.

And I looked at it, thought if it were I typo... but the word Jew and the word Jaw isn't typically mixed up, since the E and the A are a a fair bit apart on the keyboard.

They're exactly one space apart on a Dvorak, and are in the same file.

 

[PineconeKing]

Y'know, even if on a standard keyboard, they're still seperated by only one key (S/W) so it's not too forfutchid.

There is a "the Fat" nickname though.

It's only one letter away, which seems close enough to me.

I feel like the commonality of sexual taste is being way overstated here. the difference between, say, the "boyish" model of attractiveness popular in the 20s and the Marilyn Monroe type model are obviously huge, and that change occurs in ~50 years. Basically every aspect of the human form has been expanded, reduced, focused on, or ignored by some people at some times. Which means that basing it on modern standards would be ahistorical and basing it on past standards would likely not make 'attractive' characters appear markedly more attractive to the modern eye. This also seems like, whether or not it could be satisfactorily modeled, it should be REALLY low on the list of priorities of Pdox. Whatever you think about 1.07, surely you can agree that something actually needs to be fixed before we deal with this?
