Clearly,regardless of whether it's drunkistair or Kingistair, someone's been having too much ale and cheese.

Everyone in Thedas, it seems, has been overeating. The facemorphs in DA2 are alot softer and "chubbier" than the DAO ones, which tended to be rougher, more angular, and seemed to fit what you would expect of people in a borderline barbarian country who live pretty hard, rugged lives. Almost everyone you met, even most nobles in Ferelden, seemed to have a certain roughness and angularity of features, which to me seems much more realistic. Most of the people of Ferelden are not terribly pretty, which is what I would expect of a very rugged, harsh society that has only relatively recently in it's history has had a stable, productive society.

[Merilsell]

Or it is simply the abhorrent new face-morph system which gives all characters a pancake-face, no matter what? Bloated, chubby cheeks FTW *barf*

Seriously, Alistair's morph must have been made by a blind, one-armed, retarded trainee, who is normally only allowed to brew coffee. Otherwise I can't explain myself this raping of his appearance. No. Just. No. Argh.



And now excuse me, I'm off to screw Alistair

Oh, I think Anders is as shaggable and appealing as he was in Awakening, and from the you tube clips, I like him hands down better than Fenris. While personalitywise Fenris is certainly different from Zevran, there's too much in the general sense that makes him seem like a Zevran clone: another poor wittle elf enslaved and abused by "evil humans" who use him as a killing machine for their own nefarious ends, who will not leave him alone. He even has fair hair, tattoos, a tan, and dual wields weapons like Zevran, and worked for criminal gangs, and is bisexual to boot. I think gaider could have come up with something more unique and interesting.

Which I find annoying, because I actually like Zevran and his attitude towards life, and he was also quite unique for an elf in his situation, as despite his horrific past and abuse by humans, he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder, and isn't driven by some overwhelming desire for revenge against his former abusers. He just wants to start again and live.

Anders situation, however, is quite unique. More than just a mage on a mission to liberate his fellows and rectify the brutality and cruelty of the Chantry, being possesed by a once benevolent spirit, only to have his own deep seated rage and hate of the Chantry corrupt the spirit and turn him into a very unusual and curious type of abomination, is certainly an unexpected twist on a character, and fascinates me far more.

Plus, I do not see myself siding with the templars for anything but one playthrough to satisfy morbid curiousity. In Origins, even though I played a wide range of characters who made a wide range of choices (including sparing Loghain and executing Alistair) the only character i could ever manage to play that had positive views of the Chantry, and even became a convert, was my dwarf commoner, who of course, didn't know any better. Even then, she felt the Chantry was excessively cruel and oppresive towards mages, and felt the templars probably needed to locked up away from mages as much as the mages needed to be locked up away from society.

I just hit Act 2 and Anders...omg Andersssssss it's Awakening Anders with passion and devotion. It's...anderstair!

Oh god, nooooooooooooo!

It is simply a matter of very poor graphics quality; just the WORST. Look at how terrible his hands ^^^^ look !!

Alistair looks so unbelievably handsome in DA:O (so does Teagan) and now looks like a washed out, cheaply pixelated version in DA:2. Yuck, I can hardly stand to look at his image. This is not an attempt to make him look older, scruffy or down-on-his-luck, it is just extremely poor attention to detail per Bioware. <_<

I feel sorry for Alistair, for what they did to him. Look wise. Such a pity.

In DA:O, he was a good looking guy. A least not unpleasant to look at. In DA2, he looks weird and unpleasant.

So if Morringan gets the DA2 treatment what happens to you KoP?

[KnightofPhoenix]

Eternal wrath. To put it lightly.

Morrigan and the Warden seemingly had the good sense to stay away from DA2.

Seriously, DA2 Alistair looks absolutely nothing like DAO Alistair beyond having the same hair. I mean, my God BioWare. The character artists must have been on something when working on DA2- between the mushy , bloated face characters to the Elves turning into anorexic Goat People- sometimes the best course of action is to just leave things alone.

It's "feature bloat", typical for sequels.

Hubby says that the DA2 demo looks very "Korean." He wondered if the art was outsourced to an overseas outfit to save money. I have only ever played WoW and DA:O, so I'm not sure what he means by that reference, but it seems that most of us can agree that the results are barf-worthy.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." For shame BioWare.....

I almost don't even want to see a continuation of my Warden and Morrigan, they'll butcher them =x

Sadly it's more like a semi-successful knock-off of these Korean games -- i'd guess he's referring to how they tend to show over-the-top combat moves and such, but they actually manage to convey much better sense of momentum, weight, impact and all that funny stuff.

[frostajulie]

I.m not buying that game. DAO ends for me with DAO they took everything that was awesome about the game and killed it in the sequel. I am a mild Alistair fan. Morrigan fan and a pretty good Zev fan and this game from graphics to story seems so ick. Such a shame because I love Origins to pieces.

[Elysis]

 You know when I look at DA2Alistair I can't help but think he looks like he's coming from an old Nitendo 64 game.
And I'm being nice.

[tmp7704]

Nah, he'd have a mustache then. And a hat.

[Giggles_Manically]

I did not think it would be so bad.

If your VERY FIRST reaction to something is to go:


Something is wrong... very wrong.

It seems the (grumpy) spirit of the Morri thread has taken over this one too... 

I'm so looking forward to seeing Drunkenstair in game. At the pace I'm going though... it'll be weeks before I see it.

Your desire is my command.
The artist OBVIOUSLY chose to use Paint to reflect the game's graphics. Obviously.

Yeah, the combat moves are pretty ridiculous...like they all have the stamina to not only do all their "regular" fighting but also leap 10 feet in the air between each victim? That's an immersion-killer for me.

[Glorfindel709]

I'm even worse off than you Zjar, I thought I was finally getting to the point where I could go to the Expedition with all of the sidequests done... and then I walked into an area and got 5 more, walked into an area to solve one and got another two... it never ends O.o

Oh, and then my game crashed and scrambled inside the xbox, scratching the disk and ruining it.

[mya11]

Poor Glor - I'm so sorry for you and your disc.

This has been bugging since I saw the oogy-Alistair from DA2 - I can't get Tim Curry out of my head when I look at the new, but not improved, Ali. There is some kind of similarity around his eyes that reminds me of TC. Please someone tell me I'm completely off my rocker and there's no resemblence!!!!!!!
