Kinda. I find it's the whole pelvic region. Hips, pubic region and ass. It just reminds me of the scene in a season 2 episode of Friends where Monica stands behind a magnifying glass. (Image attached for visual aid for those who haven't seen/don't remember the moment in question). Yes, it's a leap but this is just what I immediately think of when I find it doesn't fit on some of the girls.
Keeping in mind I'm not just against girls with some of the ol' badonkadonk, just the lack of variety caused by this. Because of this design decision there aren't any true petite girls, in my opinion, because below the midriff, they're suddenly twice as wide sometimes. I think Nova is the worst for it since she's otherwise a perfect example of petite and wider than Annie, as far as I can tell.
For Penny, Nancy, and Calypso, I get it. They're the "curves in all the right places" girls. No problem with that. Dalia gets a pass too since her PAWGness becomes a whole joke thing later on. Again, no problem. Then there's Alex, Annie, Eva (not a LI but I didn't even realise how well she serves to show off this trend), Luna, Maat (again, not a LI but an example), and Nova just don't fit the body type, in my opinion. Yes, this can absolutely happen in real life (to a degree) but it wouldn't be every girl you know.
It's just boring and puzzling to me to have so much variety above the midriff with these girls, and then none at all below the midriff and ends up putting me off some scenes. Because of this, Alex is easily my favourite girl below the midriff simply because she's at least got the variety of her tattoos, but the rest are so samey.
Also, I realise I'm in an extremely small pool of individuals that have a problem with this. The last time I brought it up, I found out quite quickly I was in a rather quiet room of 4 or 5, and was otherwise labelled as weird or having questionable tastes by the more vocal people so those ones can just move on. I've already heard it and you're only wasting you own time verbalising rolling your eyes at me and my desire for variety in an otherwise S-tier game.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Turtle23455 I'll DM for your question about sigs since this isn't really the place for it.
I think it's more the impossibly thin wastes that make the hips look so big. Also he just really likes that pose where one girl kicks one hip out which makes it look extra big from that angle. But also HS2 is just more cartoony proportions so all their features are going to be more exaggerated. As someone who likes really thin girls I do agree we need more variety.
1. All of the girls have large pelvises, like the full pelvis region all around. I find it's fitting for some of the girls but is kind of egregious on the slim girls like Annie and Nova.
2. It's from the "Totally Not Hogwarts" segment. Specifically the scene with the Chop-Chop and his assistant. When you're in the backroom for the polyjuice potion, she offers to turn into Penny or Luna. It's the first chance in the game to see Luna nude and you've already seen Penny so it was a no-brainer for me.
1. I always took that being the artistic choice of the developer. The game feels very "animey" with how some of the girls look, the poses they doo (like the V-sign at their eye, kicking up a foot, popping a hip out while turning the body a different direction etc). But now that you point it out, yeah all the girls are "slim thick". Like they aren't fat, but they certainly have all the fat stored in the right places (boobs, butt and thighs). I have no preference over petite vs thicc but I do like a little variation.
Some people REALLY get hung up on it. I don't know if it's the specific issue being alluded two it's just one of 3 options that I'd guess, with insufficient context, other than my time here.
ETA: There issue is even weirder though... woo boy.
I think it has to do with the percieved aspect of "purity" in a girl. If she isn't a virgin she isn't pure and if she isn't pure she's a whore. Not that I subscribe to that way of thinking, I couldn't care less about a video game character in a porn game being a virgin or not.

I feel you dog, I am always happy for some variety. I guess Carib didn't see it worthwhile to provide too much variety because the audience for it is so minor, which is fair enough. Also because he likes that body type, I am sure.
I don't think the wide hips look bad on Annie or Nova. It fits if it is done right (and it is), but I can see it would be possible to mess the proportions up like that.
Me too. Not that I'm complaining about Eternum's visuals, they're top-notch. But there's generally a lack of variety in 3D AVNs. Then again, we have to respect Cari's style, of course.
Eternum is one of the few HS2 games I play so I don't know how prevalent it is or if it is even a slider in the studio. In HS1 every girl's pelvic area is more shaped like a U than a V without variation. It doesn't seem as prevalent here, but I still wonder how much control there is over that body part. It may not be under the the control of Cari to give that much more variety to the girl's appearance in that department.
Will be hilarious if you ever end up in Japan proper - not only our Anime, but a good chunk of the actual 18+ female population look like "jailbait" to the minds of westerners.
It's just a fact of nature that many orientals look younger than they are to the eyes of many westerns (somehow??) and that fact reflects in the tastes of oriental media.
Never really understood this mindset, being an oriental myself.

I mean I get that, it's just so far from my own personal value system that it's always shocking when I'm reminded that it's a thing people actually believe.
Finally caught up, fuck that cliffhanger though. and damn i really need another good game to keep me sane till the update. i'm running out of games i've found. and most of those are nowhere near the content level. i am going to try out Cosy Cafe and Companion of Darkness. Really hoping those are good, but after that i'm gonna need another fix lol
Also for updates do i just download the full thing again?
Also the Werewolf dudes were so fucking funny holy shit. They reminded me of the mooninites in Aqua Teen Hunger Force so my mind used those voices for their lines and i nearly forgot what i was playing.
Okay, it's what i'm used to doing with other games. TBH thought i might be doing it all wrong each time i do but i didn't see how it could be different.
Also probably best story ever. i would say game but i think Ravager has the better story to kink ratio so that will probably stick to being my #1 but i love this game. i love the girls so much. Glad i gave it a shot after having so many issues trying to install it.
