The old design of the Hurlock soldier was horrifying but in the good sense of the word. It was something that inspired fear and looked like it was corrupted. You could actually sense the corruption that emanated from this:
But now, we have a design reminiscent of Skeletor. It's pure white, with nothing fearsome about it. There is no hint of these creatures even resembling a decomposing corpse. Their teeth are as flat as any human's teeth, when you had previously depicted them with teeth that were razor sharp. And even worse, the codex said they adorned themselves with tattoos, yet these things do not.
We, your fans who despise the new look, implore you to revert back to the old design for the Darkspawn infantry. I don't know if this is true or if it's just my imagination, but I seem to recall somewhere it was said that the change was made because they looked to similar to Orcs. But I saw nothing similar between the two. Maybe in game, but in the Ostagar cinematic they were clearly different.
So please, for the shock troop of the Darkspawn consisting of Hurlocks, allow them to change to their old look.
In my opinion though, I prefer the new emissary look, if it's the emissary look of the Hurlocks and not the universal one. Which I believe it is since you only gave us Hurlocks and Ogres and said Genlocks and Shrieks wouldn't be seen in DA2.
But yes, you see my point.
So, after this has been up for however long, most people agree on the following things regarding Darkspawn:
- Hurlock Grunts --- The vanguard of the Darkspawn army along with the Genlocks. These guys need to revert back to their original look. People argue that they weren't pale, but they were actually. Go to the very later pages (18?) and I posted pictures that indeed show they were pale. The Disciples were too. The thing is, they appeared to be dark-skinned or whatever because Ostagar took place in a storm. It was a lighting issue.
- Hurlock Emissaries --- IMO they just need to have human ears and not elven, and get rid of the S&M equipment that rests on their face. Other people are mixed in either a want for the old look or what I'm in favor for.
- Ogres --- The Ogres shouldn't have such a mushed up face and should be purple again.
- Genlocks --- Genlocks are perfect imo. But I wonder, could you guys maybe experiment around with their color? We've seen too much Kirkwall beige.
- Shrieks ---- Perfect the way they were in Origins, don't need to be changed at all.
EDIT: we have been given permission to discuss the new looks of any and all races without fear of locking. So feel free to do so if you are inclined to.
