If this a petition sign me up. The new darkspawn look silly.

[DubiousPigeon]

DA:O Darkspawn looked like something you could have nightmares about. Couple of the pictures posted on this topic are excellent examples - they have a corrupted, frenzied look and eyes that actually have some menacing personality. They look aggressive and pulling at their chains to kick your ass.

DA2's just seem to lack that drive and personality. 

I don't mind the new emissary look as much as the redesign of the normal ground troops, though.

The "DA:O is so much superior to 2" syndrome tends to get old, but they really did it right with darkspawn in the first game. They were scary enough to remember and unique enough to not get confused with other fantasy setting's creatures.

I would have been happy if they had just used the exact same ones as DAO, but maybe cleaned them up a little. Just a little. There was no need to completely revamp something that was ok as it was.

The new ogre looks ridiculous, though.

[DubiousPigeon]

Qunari have big Arnold-like jaws and chins and the new ogre looks like a 15 year old could punch him in face and put him in the hospital for a week.

[happy_daiz]

The new ogres' heads are way too small. They just look like a big, ugly kid that just ate feces, and didn't wipe his mouth (****-eating grin, I guess?)

I don't mind the new Qunari. The Arishok is quite nice to look at.  
 

[DubiousPigeon]

lol Well said. I wasn't hating on the Qunari, though. Just commenting on the genetic link and different facial structures. I have yet to see a beady-eyed fat-faced and ****-eating Qunari in the Arishok's compound.

[TEWR]

Fixing your mess is not the demand of the Qun! And you should all be grateful!!!
 
After repeatedly staring at the new Ogres, I despise them. I want my old Ogres back!

I'm not sure I really approve of the new darkspawn look--they weren't in the game so much that it was a big deal to me--but it's possible they went with a slightly more "cuddly" look instead of the old "yeah, these dudes are monsters" look because they're planning for a future in which darkspawn are not all mindless monstrosities.

Granted, I didn't have trouble conceiving of the few "free" darkspawn in Awakening as "people" instead of monsters. (Albeit violent, evil, spectacularly misguided or just plain stupid people in many cases.) So if this was some of the reason for the changes, it wasn't really necessary.

[Zanallen]

Can I ask that we not see the darkspawn at all in DA3? Having them in each game is just silly.

I doubt it. It seems like it would be a while before the Architect or the Disciples (depending on player choice) make the other Darkspawn sentient.


I'd say it would take a minimum of 30-35 years after Awakening for the Darkspawn to not be seen.

Well, they are only seen on the surface during the Blight or random raids. If we don't go to the Deep Roads again there is a chance we won't see them.

[TEWR]

I'd like to see more of the Deep Roads. Maybe Darmallon or Kal-Sharok.



I think the Deep Roads will always appear in the game in some form.

True. If so, I hope they ramp up the design. Brown tunnels with a few dwarven houses thrown in here and there is a little bland. Another massive dwarven city would be cool.

Agreed. I liked the look of DA2's Deep Roads, as they looked like an underground highway more than Origins' version did.


But Origins got the length down perfect. I enjoyed traversing the long path from Orzammar to the Deep Roads. If it were an open world type game from Orzammar to the Deep Roads, I might've loved it more.


So they should combine the best of both worlds. And then add the Origins Darkspawn if they're going to show them again

[mahony427]

True! They are no longer sinister, just annoying dumb brutes... (at least in my eyes)

[blaidfiste]

I want my genlocks and shrieks back. Darkspawn as a whole were mediocre in this game.

That's supposed to be the new genlock design, which I like in the artwork and if done right in the game will like as well. The old ones didn't look like they were supposed to be dwarven in appearance aside from being short. They had pointy ears and didn't even have an attempt at a beard despite the fact that dwarves have at the least a thick stubble.


Though, would a genlock look good with an attempt at a beard?


I can just see the genlock emissaries now shaving and saying "Dammit!!" when they cut themselves.

No. But the flesh of their jaw and chin could be peeling away and hanging off their face.

Which would be awesome, except that it would probably look as silly as the new emissary.

I wonder how the new design could look awesome. In the artwork it looks great, but how could they look menacing in the game?

Well the good thing about the deep roads in dao you could leave after doing a thaig or even half a thaig and go do something else opposed to the tower/fade where you are stuck...and alone for most of it. ugh

I liked the deep roads look in both. I do wish they were not so dead set against varied environs and ambiance...I want some more forest like DAO. I love outdoors and LUSH forests...sigh

I loved both too, but DA2's just looked better to me.


And agreed I do want to see more environments in the series.

Here, here!

The new darkspawn just look too clean.

[DubiousPigeon]

That genlock art is sweet. Whats the source?

[TEWR]

@Chelseaisthepan: You always find gifs that make me laugh! What's that one? It looks familiar.



@DubiousPigeon: It's from the DA2 guide. Now if they make them look amazing in game and they don't require any tweaks to make them perfect, they will be the only redesign I actually love wholeheartedly. Shrieks are perfect as they are, hurlocks and Ogres need to rever back to their old design, but Genlocks were in need of a redesign.

I am mesmorized by your avatar... From the leather jacket it looks like a Doctor Who scene, but I can't place it from the way it's edited.


Back to the topic sorry: darkspawn rawr. I also don't see how the previous darkspawn relates to the current one. Transformed humans/dwarves/elves/qunari are not undead, so the "skeletor" change puzzles me. Perhaps it only looks that way because they are pale? The only one that mostly kept its previous design was the ogre.
