If you look at them, you'll see they look a little larger compared to before. They replaced the old versions with ones that have larger arms, legs, etc. And the girls apparently have triangular shaped bodies.

Plus, on top of that. They wasted time which could of been used on other things, replacing bodies that were good enough to get us this far in the game doesn't make that much sense.

Well I noticed that the "strong" body builder type of pirate, has alot more 'meat' on his midsection. All those abs we worked on as pirates, and Disney just packed the pounds back on.

Personally, I see this as a fantasy game, in a fantasy world. And I prefer my pirate to be a fantasy superhero looking like strong man, not an average joe. OH well, "midwest" average Joe apparently wins out. Being in an area where physical fitness is a focus of the majority of the population, I actually saw these changes as being "less" realistic. Granted, I never used the super skinny pirate models.

Goin down Sven's road, this is the third male body type, both old and new.

This is Doc Hardy, made just 2 days before the body type changes.




The create screen version of the same body made today.




The in game look of the same new body.



Now maybe it's just me but I see clear differences between Doc and the new version of his body. First off, Doc has muscles, the new one is just kinda marshmellowy to me. Or maybe I mean thinner. I dunno, he just doesn't look built like Doc does. His legs are way bigger to me too. And the new guy most decidedly has more junk in the trunk if ya get my drift. It just looks wrong to me.

Lest you think it's just the guys, I present Trynity.

Made about a week before the change, my girl Trynity.



The new create screen version of that body. (I refuse to think of the new body in any way related to my girl.)



In game, or jail anyway of the same new body.




Yes, the girls are all the exact same third body. You can see here the very clear differences between Trynity and the new girl. The new girl is very hippy. You can also clearly see that the new girl does indeed have triangular parts as referred to in several previous posts. Like the guy body the new girl also has way more junk in the trunk.

I don't care which is more real. I like Trynity's body the way it is. I've gotten on board with Zep though. The new bodies shouldn't have replaced the old, just been added to the options. Why should there be only 5 to pick from any how?

Well anyway the point of this was to illustrate the differences in the body types between the old and new body types that I have as my own pirates. I'm not making anyone else's judgments, but I did want to show that there are major differences, at least with the girls. Better or worse, that's up to you.

This is what I refer to as the midwest build, people in general are stockier throughout. West coasters who go to the gym every day, look like the old strong pirate model.

Apparently pirates who likely lived on meager amounts of food on ships for weeks/months at a time, had problems with scurvy and other issues caused by diet deficiencies had no problem keeping meat on their bones, gotta love realism. </sarcasm>
