In the next addon for World of Warcraft, there are thin and thick models for humans. But will they be playable?
One of the biggest criticisms of World of Warcraft over the years has been that the various avatars are too similar. There are only a handful of customization options, while particularly pronounced features, such as body size, cannot be modified at all. If you want to embody a scrawny mage, you still have to walk around with muscle mountains as if your character is munching on steroids instead of mana cakes every day.
In Battle for Azeroth, two new models for humans have now been found that could provide significantly more variety. The colleagues from wowhead have already extracted the exact appearance.
Residents of Kul Tiras – Through Thick and Thin
There are very thin humans who probably fit the definition of a starving wretch. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the thin humans are technically the models of the undead, which have been given a new skin.
But there are also slightly plumper men and women among the humans found in the Alpha of Battle for Azeroth. These apparently use the skeleton and animations of the Pandaren.
However, it should be clearly stated regarding these models that there are currently no indications that they can also be used by players. They are located in the file path where the player races are also found, but there are also many NPC races, such as the Naga, to be found here.
It is highly likely that these character models will only be used for NPCs in Kul Tiras and Zandalar and will not be available to players. However, it is quite possible that one or another allied race can be derived from this…
What do you think about the additional models of humans? A good step to make the world of Azeroth a bit more colorful, lively, and realistic? Or do you already have the expectation that these models will also be available to players?
Have you seen the cool new mounts from Battle for Azeroth? Including a frog and even a brain!
