Digit Ratio of Dragonborn

According to this image, the digit ratio of our manly Dragonborn tells us that he might be not that manly.

"2 - RING FINGERS & SPORTS

Exceptional performances in sports and - as stated above - excellence in the financial domain are being linked to the amount of male hormones that people absorb before birth while they stay in the womb. The higher exposure to testosterone and other male hormones, the lower the '2D:4D digit ratio' - or the ratio between the pointer finger and ring finger. This ratio was also used to predict performances in sports leagues. Research from the university of Cambridge points out that financial traders with the lowest ‘2D:4D digit ratios' have earned 11 times more money than stock traders with a relatively high finger ratio - see the picture below.

Bethesda should fix that, knowing that my Dovahkiin would rather scream Alejandro than dragonshouts everytime I see his hands would break my immersion..

"Fix?" The protagonist shown in the trailers and screenshots might be a homosixual, so that should be "fixed" as though it is a problem? I like the idea, personally.

Well nothing against it, I like the idea too for role playing sake but they should make a slide for the finger in the character creation! That would be a great idea.

Character creation - it would be cool to have really long skinny fingers like a golum... make your character more like the antogonist

They should release the high poly head mesh for the character too so we can perform phrenology on him! It's the only measure of his personality!! :lmao:

edit: aww, was beaten to it by rumblyguts

We are not going to go there. Let's leave this kind of association out of the game, the discussions and the forums.
