Anyone else think these are the least female you can get in a model. Im not sure I can tell the difference between males and females. Frankly there is no 'sex appeal' for lack of a better word. Not pretty or even nice to look at.
Just wondering if anyone else is
in the female models. Gonna try a male again.

I find it refreshing that they are emphasizing the reptilian nature of the dragonborn. I'm pretty happy with the customization of spines and frills, very appropriate for the race.

Lol you win the internet! I can understand the basic concept of adding features to them which accentuate their characteristics beyond the basic simian appearance, but was anyone really expecting a reptilian humanoid to have mammary glands?

If I'd stopped to think about it at all? Yes. Because pretty much every other game in existence with a anthropomorphized-animal race, has visibly female models. /shrug
May not make sense, but it's always nice to have a clear differentiation between the "male" and "female" characters. Otherwise, why bother even making two? Just make one model ("Dragonborn") and be done with it.
See the Iksar in Everquest 2. Two very different models but no HAMSTER.
And among the Pen & Paper players this also caused a huge debate.
Dragonborn are not reptiles. They are warm-blooded draconian humanoids with life-spans equal to humans.
The 4e ecology of dragonborn states that they are hatched from eggs AND that the mother nurses the young, weening them to solid food as they grow. Neverwinter's dragonborn babies would all starve to death... edit: ...if they didn't have mammalian feeding glands.
in other words, they look more feminine, you can easily tell the difference between males and females. Fortunately though, they didn't make the famales ooze sex appeal, which seems to be, horrifyingly, what people here are asking for.
Why is it horrifying to want to have a character model look pleasing. Yes how shocking and unlike natural human behavior. I feel like such an outcast wanting to look at something attractive... OMG THE SHAME!
Sexual objectification and 'looking at something pleasing' are not the same thing.
Do you think that would look better if we added sex appeal to it? made it curvy and had large HAMSTER?
Or the Mona Lisa, should we add more sex appeal to that, make her look like a page 3 girl?
I was playing my new Dragonborn Warlock and returning to Knox to hand in a mission. As is my habit, I was inspecting the other Dragonborn toons around. I like to see what other folks are doing to make unique looking toons, a habit I picked up over in Champs.
Well there was one Female Dragonborn in a Fashion Set, some kind of dress or other. I headed over. Now, my toon is quite large. I used a combination of hulking upper body and stumpy lower body that actually looks very, very good with the original Warlock stance ( the Huge Beast stance in Champions Online, and one of my favorites, so I have considerable experience making toons that look good using it). This Female was very, very short for a Dragonborn. From a distance she looked quite normal. However, I used the Shift skill to get closer and over did it a bit and ended up almost nose to nose with her. She only came up to my toons chest. That's when I got quite the shock. You see, from every other angle she was a perfectly normal Dragonborn, but looking straight down, as I was now doing, she had a figure that could only be described as "Power Girl-Esqu". I've never seen this before or since and I suspect that it had something to do with the dress item.
She shifted off before I could apologize for a serious invasion of personal space and some serious, although inadvertent, ogling.

Dragonborne being closer to reptiles in body I imagine are more of A-C cup as well due to a more reptilian form. D is right out unless they are six feet tall.
Large HAMSTER are mostly stuck on tiny female forms by men whom don't buy bras regularly.

The primary difference is in the head with the Top (think "hair") - such as the wide flared look only on females and there is no chin adornment like you get with the males (such as bone or horns) - also the sideburn area there is a limited choice of fins or bone, where the male has one or two more. The females are also smaller and shorter.
All mine will be male just because I like the bulkiness of them, but I created a throw-away female for farming skirmishes and that's why I took a close look at the differences in character creation.
They aren;t supposed to be pretty and thank goodness. The sexification of game character have already gone far enough. Sexifying the female Dragonborn would have been way over-the-top I think. FUGLY = EpicWin.

On-topic, don't forget the Argonians in Elder Scrolls. They are definitely female, and yes, they have HAMSTER. Reptilians lay eggs, but those eggs hatch into babies. Big babies perhaps, but they can still be babies. That is, if the dragonborn even lay eggs in the first place. It's not something I've spent time researching for obvious reasons. I don't care either way.
Part of the appeal to me is to look good to me without fitting the stereotype of what humans find attractive.

HOWEVER. I think the way they are is just right. I made a jot of jokes about rolling a dragonborn with huge HAMSTER, but it was mostly out of the fact that if they HAD put a **** slider on the character creation screen, or made them uber feminine, it would've been utterly ridiculous to me.
I did roll a female dragonborn, and I like her, even with her almost nonexistent HAMSTER and unfeminine dragon-face. She looks like a velociraptor. And my male dragonborn looks like Godzilla.
