In my opinion, the Darkspawn had their own style in their previous games. This new design looks like something you could find in other fantasy stories and games. If anything, they should work on demons and the fade, because that got so much potential that they didn't quite utilize. The fade in the first game was too repetitive, and I think they could've used more colours. The fade was much better in awakening.

I thought the darkspawn design failed pretty miserably in the old games. The actual species looked very similar - they all had human as a base. Qunari were tall and purple, but looked like tall humans. Elves were short, but looked like short humans with a little bit of a weird cheekbone structure. And dwarves were short, stocky humans.

They all look like they were made from the same base.

The darkspawn, though, are just confusing. The ogre is nothing like the qunari. It made no sense. Now they've gone the opposite way - the quanri and ogre look very alike. The chalkspawn, though, look much more like humans than they did before.

I think the artists switched the theme of the darkspawn, but if they look alike, IMO that's a far more coherent step foward than before.

I'm just going to say that they are a different breed of darkspawn, and not really the ones we are so familiar with. They look like the ghouls from Awakenings almost..... But if they 'are the same' I too would much MUCH prefer the old concept designs.... these just make me think of possessed lepers, not the blood curdling, mass slaughtering, taint riddling darkspawn.

I like the new darkspawn better. The first darkspawn and likely all darkspawn did use to be human after all.

[BP20125810]

The old darkspawn may have been cool, but they were your typical fantasy enemies. There wasn't anything really unique. It is also easier to see that the Darkspwn are some sort of creatures that have been cursed with an affliction. It all fits with DA 2's new art style.

Well, darkspawn are basically tained humans/elves/dwarves/qunari. Personally I really like the new design and how it gives them more of a twisted "human" look. The darkspawn from DA:O looked too much like your everyday fantasy orcs and goblins

[JoHnDoE14]

I really find the new design...uninspiring. However, the old model wasn't perfect either...So, let's see how will darkspawn be after the pre-alpha screenshots.

[wolterstoffer]

Old model was nice the new model isn't good enough for me

[perdita_x_dream]

Well - coherence was kind of lacking before, at least in the connection ogre/qunari, and perhaps with the shrieks/elves as well, although the hurlocks/humans and genlocks/dwarves were kind of nice. I think it was more the connection between the specific darkspawn and their race that was limping, I think that they looked quite coherent as a group of tainted creatures.

I can buy that they wanted to have more similarities with the races, and perhaps some more coherency between the different kinds of darkspawn - but why did they make them all so feminine? The ogre is even cute, looks like a big baby - what's up with that? They don't look scary at all :/ And what's up with the new emmissary - a poster boy for some kind of queer dressup society? http://dragonage.bio...tures/emissary/

I don't understand this remake, why don't they want us to be scared of the darkspawn anymore? Should we like them this time, maybe we're supposed to side with them or something, take pity in them? Marketing the game for younger children? I don't know, I don't get it.

I would like them all to butch up a little, and have broader jaws like before, so they all look like twisted monsters Now they are more like twisted puppie monsters... :/

People were scared of the darkspawn? I'm pretty sure I'm warped by video-games, but the hurlocks just looked like RE zombies working as extras in the game, the genlocks looked like goblins...

I just don't see the scary.

[Aermas]

I loved the hurlocks & Ogres from Origins, I hate the new models

[CanisLupis16]

uuumm...not to be a b***h...but everyone does realize that darkspawn started as corupted humas?...I like thatthey look kinda human..it makes it more realaistic..i do think the should make them look a little more tainted...but lets not turn them hollywood..i mean.. come on... can we not be done with the dramtic overkill...leave the games alone...if u want them to look that messed up send hollywood a message and tell them to make a game...leave bioware alone

[Warheadz]

Damn I have used this pic many times today

[RussianSpy27]

Look, it's not like BioWare that made a hell of a bloody game with gore and sex was considering the original monster-looking Darkspawn to be scary or anything. I'm sure there is a viable explanation out there which we just haven't heard about. I personally think the original are much more horrific and wouldn't want to see them turn into Skeletors, but I can also understand the "they look like your typical zombie warriors" argument. At the end of the day, I like the original more, but I'm sure we'll see/her an explanation of some sorts that will make the new look plausible.

I prefer the DA2 darkspawn. They look more like the drawings from the story of how the Tevinter mages became the first darkspawn.

[maximus660099]

i dont like the new darkspawn they look goofy and run like monkeys there is nothing scary about them

i like the fangs pic someone posted though with fangs and a bit more of a rotten ski look they would look way better and as for the ogre it is mad goofy looking and not scary at all but i do think it looks more like the qunary than the DA:O version did

They do look aweful, the darkspawn in DAO actually look dark, these new guys look like circus folk in cheesy Skeletor costumes
These are monstrous
These are clowns

I like the new darkspawn, they look more like a diseased humanoid rather than a severe burn victim or a orc. Though I don't like the armor a bit, so I have to say darkspawn armor was better there.

[Zousug]

I have to agree, the 'fangs' look much better.. the jaggered teeth etc.. with the Coif, if it was just designed better it would be ok.

id like to see some with and some without in the game, just def fix the skin and the teeth..

[gbone]

a mod will probably come out soon and let us change the new version of hurlocks to the old ones.
And the orge is fine. I don't like the new emissary either
But I haven't seen the genlocks and shrieks yet.

[thebrotherthat]

ummm darkspawn are born from brood mothers. You dont turn into darkspawn when your tainted, you turn into a ghoul or brood mother or die. Grey wardens can turn into a sort of hybrid as seen in the calling but thats it. example: hurlocks are born from human brood mothers

Perhaps the Architect's plans came true and the Darkspawn evolved.

lol  if this is the case, he must have been working really fast!

I usually do not complain and i am not doing it now either....BUT i really liked the old look of the darkspawn. Still these are early concepts, so they might end up looking a lot better. Now they are fish-faces xD

Well, that's the only trust I have right now, that they are early concepts. So far they look nothing like the darkspawn should look like! I hope that Bioware will go back to the old models, at least when it comes to darkspawn.

I thought this was when Lothering was overrun by Darkspawn so this was before Awakening
