[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 4346672, member: 18"] Yes, I know this but they still don't make any sense given the written life-cycle of the Dragonborn, who "walk hours after hatching" and are "the size of a 10-year old human child by the age of 3". Humans need (ideally) to breastfeed for six months and it can be good to go on for another 18 or so (whilst the child is first unable to walk and then bad at it/slow - a problem for nomadic creatures), but the way it sounds with Dragonborn is that they're pretty much entirely skipping that whole "baby" stage of development and jumping immediately to "toddler", and almost immediately from there to quite a large child. Humans have breasts in their particular place and of that shape because they're upright creatures who are going to be carrying small, incapable, children who will be feeding from them. Dragonborn children do not seem to have non-walking stage, and so rapidly reach a size where they could keep up with adults that it seems that the boobs, they just don't make sense. It's artist laziness, it really is. Maybe, actually, it's market research too, but I find that hard to believe, given how popular female Iksar were with actual females in EQ/EQ2. Unless, haha, market research shows that there's a lot of GUYS out there who are keen to played boobed dragonwomen. Which I can TOTALLY believe, because, y'know, the internet, shows pretty clear that such people exist in some numbers. So maybe I finally worked it out? I hope not! Edit - Jesus I'm such a nerd.
