Topic: My Opinion on the Luclin Models.

posted 10-09-2001 04:46:00 PM
Ok, so you hate them right? Well, I can't say I do, the goal behind the new models is to make them more lifelike, granted, they do have some proportion things to work out (can you say boobs?)but overall I don't see anything real bad with the models. Take for instance the gnomes, I've heard some negative comments about them but I look at them and say "DAMN! That's some fine work VI!" Verant can't always appeal to everyone with so many different tastes. They probably had review groups already set up to review the models to see which one they liked best. Also, the DE Female's face. You say it's ugly, I say it's more beautiful than ever! DE are supposed to be a sinister race and last time I looked at most fantasy pictures, elves didn't have short round faces, they had elongated faces. And I think VI has wised up a little, the DE female face has a mysterious beauty to it IMO. As for the barbarians, great looking, rugged beauty.

So if anything, VI has looked at the individual characteristics of each race and then built the race's model accordingly, though I will give you the horses', those are messed up baaaad.

At least the female erudite model looks nice.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

As Drysart said, the model doesn't have an elongated face, it has a very square jaw. So does every female we've seen so far, go figure.

Bingo. People are so used to the older models that they don't want to change to the new ones, I think that is why there is an option to see the new models or to stay with the old ones. And to those who say Camelot and World of Warcraft are going to be so much better, remember this old saying: The grass is always greener on the other side.

I think there's something to be said for the "I don't like the new models because the heads are deformed, the breasts are huge, and everyone has a horse's face" opinion.

Then again, I don't like EQ. Or AO. And yet I don't change my sigpic. Mayhaps my opinion is negated.

The new models are grand, faces actually seem to reflect the races all-around charisma, hence the ugly barb chicks, etc.

I like the lean-cut trolls, never have I seen in a table top game a troll being remotely barrel-shaped.

Greetings,

I kinda like the Erudite model. I've always wanted to go about without a helm on, and not look silly at the same time. I'm looking foward to see how our armor looks, not that I don't already look awesome.

Hmm, the faces on the models and all are good, could improve a bit if you ask me. But...

It seems all female models got their boobs inflated - now making stuff look lifelike is one thing, making all females look like Barbie on steroids is not so cool if you ask me.

(Then again I'm not the 'likes big boobies' type anyway so ignore me )

Brad said the Ogres look like that because they're trying to incorporate an upcoming story line, which the new models will play a part in.

The Ogres are supposed to slowly return to their former glory after Shadows of Luclin is released. Ogres used to be the smartest, strongest, fastest race until the gods punished them for following Rallos Zek when he tried to take over the Planes.

The main thing that happened to cause them to be made like that were the Ogres, Giants(Fire/Sand/Ice from the old world), and Goblins almost defeated the Council of the Rathe when they invaded the Plane of Earth. So they were all punished in different ways. The Ogres were made really, really, really dumb.(Giants were spread around the world. All giants used to be what Hill Giants are now, but over the centuries since their banishments they've adapted to their new enviroments. The Goblins were also spread across the world, but they had their entire history wiped from their memories in addition to that.)

Snoota, where did you get that info?
There is an ancient Iksar saying, that something lasts only as long as the last person remembers it. My people have come to trust memory over history. Memory, like fire, is radiant and immutable. Those who renounce the flame of memory in order to put out the dangerous fire of truth: Beware these men, for they are dangerous themselves... and unwise. There are false histories written on the blood of those who might remember, and on those who seek the truth.
