really? Because I can open my mouth pretty damn wide. I make faces at people as I drive by them (I'm easily amused).

I should have stated that this is my interpritation of how the taint works at a scientific level, for that I apoligise.

I've always presumed that the taint work as a disease, that among other things, eats into their bones (similar to Leukemia), which alows then to all look the same/have big cheek bones/open mouths wider and so on. Think fo it as Leukemia that forces (de)evolution.

That's always been how I've seen it, seeing as how little info there is on the actual change.

If anyone from Bioware wants to let us know if my crack-pot theoryis correct that would be quite handy.

No one else seems to think about it, but have a look at the pictures of the Darkspawn's face and compare it to a humans, their faces change shape when they become infected.  Also look at how wide they can get their mouths when they scream, it's not humanly possible to do that as a human/elf.

The darkspawn aren't infected humans, though. They are entirely separate species, born from the broodmothers. As such they don't undergo any transformation, they have mouth like that from the get-go.

Man the bioware apologists here are rampant

Given how Darkspawn are created, I always thought the DAO version was better.  They're just slimier and more pulsating, more corporeal and less skeletal in their appearance.  Really, the new hurlocks just look like Scorpius from Farscape. 

I actually didn't care much for the old Darkspawn at first, but I was won over in the battle scenes when you see them decapitating folks and slitting throats and just looking menacing and disgusting.  I couldn't really imagine the new Darkspawn doing that without looking absurd.

Wait, what! So the taint doesn't turn different people/creatures into Darkspawn? I thought that's how Brood mothers were created and blight wolves and such. Damn over 500 hours into both games and I've only just found that out! It's Santa all over again!

[TEWR]

I lol'd at the snark, but ghouls, blight wolves, bereskarn, and broodmothers aren't Darkspawn.

The Taint turns other people/animals into ghouls, but not 100% pure blood "darkspawn."  I always thought of it that the Taint sort of changes a normal human/dwarf/elf/animal as much as it can without killing it, while a darkspawn born of a broodmother is from the very beginning a darkspawn with only trace elements of their base race coming from the race of the broodmother. I'm pretty sure Gaider went over this a bunch in the Origins forums back when the game was released. But a broodmother is just sort of an advanced/special ghoul that will create the 100% USDA Approved Darkspawn.

Welp, now I know what the Purdue guy has been feeding his chickens.

I defiantly preferred the old look to the new re-design.

What does the second pic have to do with anything?

I just now noticed this comment of yours but I just thought it was funny. That's why I put the link there instead of the pic. Had no relevance but I found it somewhat amusing

[Dragoonlordz]

Btw that's a guy. ^

The resemblance is uncanny isn't it... ("\\( >_< )/")

Boodmother and dark skinned Broodfather = dark skinned darkspawn.

Thats the benefit of internet caps (yelling), I can skip right over it without getting a headache.

Sorry to de-rail the thread. I really can't believe I missed that vital point of info! I'm thinking another playthrough is in order. Oh and thanks for the DA: history lesson I really appreciate it!

I just have the feeling that the designer of the new Hurlock look has a clown phobia, and thus thougth that they would look more fearsome

well in his defense that clown that sits in the corner just staring at him and smiling when he has sex with his wife/girlfriend is incredibly disturbing.

[TEWR]

I'd have a deep seated fear and distrust of clowns if that was happening too. Especially if he was slowly nodding.


I'd also wonder how the hell he got into my house, but so long as he isn't the clown from Stephen King's IT I'm not as terrified as I would've been were it him.

[TEWR]

tough to say, but he's more of a sociopathic person than a sociopathic clown.


but there were some times where Heath Ledger's Joker made me laugh because of things he had said.

Batman: Let her go!
Joker: Very poor choice of words! *laughs and lets her fall*

I love both movies for various reasons.


They're real and don't seem at all comic book like, a problem the prior ones and especially the original series had. The prior movies were really good at the time (well, save for Batman and Robin. I think that was the one with the Governator) but they just didn't feel right

They're very dark.

The acting is beyond well done. It's just superb

No Robin.

Many more reasons, but no robin is definitely one of the better ones. I wonder who the villain for The Dark Knight Rises will be.

Heath Ledger's performance was just astounding, and so was the guy who played Dent (can't remember his name. But I think he was in Thank You For Not Smoking)
