I know this game takes place in space and all but I feel like the design of all newer NPCs is becoming so far-fetched that it stops being sexy, at least to me. Thraggens are basically buff, green humans from an appearance standpoint. Even furry creatures like the Khorgonn and Milodans and all that are still okay. What bothers me is how deranged it's become in Phaedra/Dhaal. Weird looking creatures like the Nukas, with gigantic tits with lips instead of nipples and tentacles left and right are just not as attractive to me. I feel like all the newer designs are a bit too much for me. That is to say, simplicity can sometimes be better than all these overcomplicated designs. All the males are hulking beasts like the Behemoths and Neil, all the females are gooey like Selene or absolutely foreign like Nukas with gigantic hips/tits. I miss simpler designs like Emmy, or Riya, or Sera. Hyraxi are okay good too.
We also get plenty of complaints that our aliens are not alien enough; they're just humans or furries with a different coat of paint or a couple of extra dangly bits slapped on. Boring! Making beings that are both exotic and intriguingly different, but also fuckable is a balancing act and certainly we don't always get it right. I'm not into nuka or zaika either, on the other hand I think Savin was really cooking when he came up with the divrani. It's just personal preference.
I personally would have liked to push the envelope a bit more, as I did with Quaelle and Ara Kei, but as it turns out most folks share your tastes and want to fund more human-y stuff, like Nasti, Siobhan and Suze. So I am in fact in the process of producing NPCs and events which are theoretically up your alley.
