I heard no complaints about Dragon Age: Origins' hurlocks.

Man. You didn't? You weren't looking very hard, bro.

I guess not, homie. The only complaint I registered was, "They look like orcs..."

[sonsonthebia07]

I like most design changes that I've seen so far, but I gotta say that I liked the old hurlock look better. Maybe this one will grow on me after having played a bit. They should have kept the faces at least. I don't mind the new ones up close, but they look...off...from a moderate distance. Oh well.

They don't look good.

Admittedly they were a bit too green and orkish in DA:O

If they ALL looked like the special ones from DA:Awakening, [the acolytes or whatever] that is to say, pale-skinned with rows of sharp teeth and facial scarifications, they would look badass and not like orks at all.


So put me in the camp of "They could look way better and more terrifying, and still not look like the ork wannabes from DAO"


Currently the DA2 Hurlocks are neither frightening nor impressive. They look stupid, especially with the low-res coif.

Solution to your problem: helmet toggle for hurlocks, not just players! I think with the new look, their human origins are far more obvious (and they look better than the alpha versions), but to each their own.

I have to say I really did like the design of the Disciples, they were extremely creepy looking, creepily named, but then they had this habit of... talking, and I wasn't as much keen on their voices. Still. The Lost= Damn.

The new hurlocks do seem to be showing rather a lot of skin. I've seen people wearing similar outfits IRL, but they were dancing in cages at an acid rave.



All I'm saying is that I wouldn't be surprised if the new genlocks wear nothing but studded leather jockstraps.

Kind of.

I quite liked the old hurlocks, but I also like the new ones. They now look more, well, tainted. There are aspects to them that I might have keep from the old design, such as the teeth and perhaps gone for making the armor look more like it's been looted or made out of scraps (if that fits the lore that is), but overall I think the change has been, mostly, for the better.

I'd love for them to look a bit scarier the next time though, but then again we should also remember that the current look is based on Varric's perspective and that, to him, they're obvously more like diseased humanoids, then monstrous creatures we faced in Origins.

Taint is the operative word, to be sure.

Terrible job quoting.  That aside, I take it you haven't seen the older screenshots of the initial (alpha) versions of the new hurlocks? If you did, you'd at least notice the difference in the teeth. I think the new ones are fine, not over the top like the LotR orc-clones from DA:O. As I said, I appreciate that they more closely resemble humans.

No, I'm not exactly keen on their new outfits, but ignoring the armor, I don't mind the redesigned look. For the record, I hate dorktacular helmets, especially since i had to wear some awful stuff on my characters in DA:O. Thus, i find the coifs a tad...meh.

Oh, and don't get me wrong: I liked the DA:O darkspawn, but I'm not so enamored with their initial design that I'm not open to this redesign.

I wonder if with DA:O they ever released mods to change the looks of the hurlocks... But, then, we may have to deal with nude mods, etc....

You'll get your Nude Darkspawn soon enough guys.

Working on it as soon as game launches.

We need more Nudespawn ! Their shocking preference about clothing will make even the Grey Warden tremble with fear ( and excitement )

[chelseaisthepan]

The only thing that bothers me is that they look too... clean, if that makes any sense.

[The Baconer]

The S&M gear bugs me, but I like how the darkspawn don't just look like generic orcs. Now they just move like generic LOTR-movie orcs. That's seriously the first thing I thought of when I saw them hobbling about. Say what you will about DA:O Hurlocks looking generic, but I think theur rather human stature and movement made them come across as more intimidating, even if they were mostly just mooks. Now they just look clownish and weak.

Kind of amazing how such simple animations can change everything.

I actually never saw a resemblance to LoTR orcs at all. I really wish the CGI image of the Hurlock in the Ostagar scene could be how they always look. In origins it was a poor likeness of that, where they always had a damn Joker smirk on their face.....

[TheJist]

I cannot understand why they would change them like this I mean now they look some well organized yet poorly designed race the original dark spawn drew fear these guys draw laughs maybe they hope that the grey wardens will be laughing to hard to defend but then again all but the grunts seem have a lack of fighting capability.

[kaiki01]

My only critique would be that new Hurlocks do not seem as physically imposing as the old design. New Hurlocks seem more slender and hunched over rather then muscular and intimidating.
