those were darkspawn, like it or not.  and yes they NEED CHANGED

I don't think so, I like the new art direction.

I like the new darkspawn MUCH more. The only thing I don't like about them is the iron plates of armor. For wanting to get away from a LOTR image they sure did make the armor reminiscent of an Uruk-Hai. Would have preferred a more ragged and tribal look for their clothes myself.

I like the new darkspawn. Their armor though....ugh...their armor is horrible.

After going back to compare the armor worn by hurlocks in Origins and the armor worn by them now, their Origins armor look way to detailed for a group of near mindless subhumans




The new look fits their background better. They look like mutant humans, rather than orcs, which would fit them originating from the punished humans who tried usurp the Maker.
They have white skin because they live underground.
Their armor consists of loose metal slabs because mindless aberrations and ghoul slaves wouldn't be great smiths.
They may not be intimidating individually, but the Darkspawn aren't threats in small numbers, they only are threatening when they gather large numbers during Blights and are lead by an Archdemon.

Bats live in caves but are not all white. I believe you were talking about cavernicolous animals that don't go into the sunlight. However these creatures are not white, but are colorless and simply lack the characteristic pigment that you see in creatures that live in the light.

I seriously wonder why the new hurlocks look like Skeletor. There must be late twenties/early thirties guys working at Bioware...

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of their new look. I agree their armor could have used some changing from Origins, but I liked them as monsters, not just ugly humans with pale skin and no lips. Plus their matching hoods and bulky, spiky armor look kind of cheesy. For having no Archdemon to organize them, they sure are good at coordinating their ensembles.

Oh well...from what I hear they won't be a huge part of the game. Whatever they look like, I'm sure it won't be hard to get over.

I believe some German gaming magazine said there were only darkspawn in the beginning 'legend mode' thing. Don't know how far its true though.

The armor of the darkspawn in DAO actually makes sense. During Blights, there's so much blight that many people are corrupted. These ghouls are then used to make the armor of the darkspawn.



Plus darkspawn get most of their materials by scavenging armor and other metals. And we happen to know where the darkspawn could have gotten a *massive* amount of armor pieces early in the game, don't we? Plus, while the Warden was gathering allies, the darkspawn we ranging over Ferelden.



The picture the poster chose to demonstrate was an Emissary, who's even more powerful and important than Alphas. Of course the biggest, strongest, and most dangerous darkspawn would get the best armor.



Lastly, I loathe the new darkspawn design. They look like albino humans with liver spots.

To pointy.

Speaking of which is it just me that thinks Hawke ~cringes - i hate that name~ looks to have stolen darkspawn armour? He hardly looks the part of  a hero and legend...... perhaps thats just me.

But tbh im not keen on the new art direction as a whole but the dawkspawn look .... pretty lame tbh

Considering the game comes out in march i reeeaaaaally doubt they'll bother redoing their entire darkspawn work just cause a few people have issue with



So take you S&M dominatrix Darkspawn of DA2 like a man bucko and "crack that whip~!"

[Massadonious1]

Please change the appearance of the Darkspawn.

The models look finished to me so it is quite likely that they won't change anything considering the amount of work they have to do.

I don't mind the new look of the darkspawn except for one thing - why are they wearing spandex with a quilted pattern on their heads? I just can't take them seriously when it looks like they've cut up a duvet to use as a coif.

[Naughty Bear]

The appearence of the new Darkspawn look like complete horse**** from afar, but when up close i like the detail alot.

I prefer the old ones for now. I like the new one's, but the graphics and environment make's them look ****.

If they get rid of the silly spiky army and something more imtimidating with abit of blood here and there then they will look great. I like skull like face's with abit of blood coming from their eyes.

[SoR82]

they certainly seem to be going on the lines of "spiky armour yeah thats scary and evil everyone knows that"

[Shepard Lives]

I'm not sure what to say about the new appearance, it certainly is distinctive. The armor sucks big time, though.

I want the darkspawn to look like those Twilight sparkly vampires.

It will inspire pure hatred and add to the satisfaction of killing them.

This time I can't help but be reminded of the Putties from the Power Rangers show I watched when I was a kid.

This could be a very good thing....

THIS IS THE OLD ****!

Theeeey've got, a power and a strength like you've never seen before.
Theeeey can, kill the archdemon and even up the score.
Darrrrkspawn can never take them down... the power lies on their sieieieieieieiiiide! 

GO GO GO GREY WARDENS!

The new darkspawn looks neat. Neat as in clean. Not like something that would "swarm" you and infect you with taint in the Deep Roads.
