numbers can only make up for so much. The zombies make solid threat because even individual zombies aren't pushovers to anyone but the guy with his name in the movie title.

Ahh...! The eyes... those souless... ANIME... EYES!!!!

I like Fenris and Merrill, but the rest look like guppies or as if someone went around beating them in the face. And the WoW mule ears, I hated them in Wow. The one above doesnt have them, the one in Dark Town dude sells poisions....good grief.

I like the Elf design. They look more other and less like thin humans with pointy ears (shakes a finger at the Eregon movie)

Yes. I can clearly see the improvement...before is much better then after.

*sigh*

in Origins, you couldn't even tell the difference between humans and elves aside from the ears. For all you knew, it was just a short human (which do exist! OMG!). Different races should show the obvious differences. Elves were described as being lithe. What do you think Sten meant when he said that? Aside from a difference in height, they had the same body structure as a human in Origins.

That picture is horribly biased against the DA2 elves and you know it.













There, a more fair comparison.

Edit: I personally prefer the DA2 elves, I kept mixing up long haired elves with humans in Origins.

Honestly, I was never particularly attached to the old Darkspawn design. If I had to choose I'd say preferred to old look but I'd be more upset if they redesigned Mabari than Darkspawn, the look never seemed all that iconic to begin with so I'd rather they just add more models in the existing style than start from scratch yet again.

In conclusion, colour me neutral. Not sure why that was worth typing, just wanted something to do I guess..

Horse faced elves.

They don't look any different than humans, except the ears. How is that better in differentiating species?

We must have been watching different zombie movies. From my experience, zombies are only effective when they attack while a person is unawares or when they are overwhelmed. Otherwise, zombies are pretty easy to defeat as long as you know to aim for the head. Gun or melee weapon.

DAO elves have considerably thinner build than humans, actually. The difference is especially obvious with the males, if you scale the bodies to be of the same height the body shapes don't match at all.

Thnx for showing more bad ones, only Good one seems to be Merril - wonder why the LI's don't look like the rest.

Darkspawn are dead rotting creatures, for skin to become more albino like they would have to for a start ~be alive and they are not. The skin is dead hence the rotting and rotting skin does not change colour pigmentation due to lack of sunlight.

I'll tell you one thing, women would kill to have an anti-age/wrinkle cream like the darkspawn have obviously discovered between DAO and DA2.

DL, they aren't dead... Rotting yes, but not dead. Better to say they're imnical to what we consider life. Dead would make them something along the lines to undead, which we've been told they are. The new hurlock faces do look like mummies:

http://en.wikipedia....94_fh000031.jpg

Remember that Darkspawn are born, with the exception Broodmothers.

What I would have done is something more along the lines of having the armor and weapons rusting on the models, no chain choif, and whisps of hair as if it were falling out. It's times like these I wish I could draw so I could post what I'm seeing in my head.

Oh, I think I can picture it, well with my brain's translation. But yeah!  And thanks for the review sweetie!

Getting this back on topic though. I like the darkspawn as a concept. They facinate me, and I want to know the true story. Especially why Hurlocks and genlocs tend to look more like their living counterparts where elves become this almost insect like being. And of all the races, the one who's looks are least changed by the corruption and birth from broodmothers are the Qunari, which is interesting considering the point made that they're from "somewhere else"

As long as you aim for the head then humans are as easy to defeat as zombies. And then you can also defeat them by aiming at parts other than head, while the zombies will take that damage and keep coming at you. Which overall makes the individual zombie more of a threat than individual human in the same situation. I.e. the opposite of a pushover.

EDIT: I iz remoovin' all posts wear I poliz'd mai own thread.

Because 1) It's kinda douchey, 2) We got the okay to discuss all designs, and 3) I don't like it. Didn't like doing it then and I don't like it at all.

Though my policing posts will still be in other peoples' posts, but that's okay.

Time to take it to the next level... If you have the CE will already have seen it.

Now look, I don't want this thread to go from Darkspawn to Elves and give the mods a reason to lock it. Can we not talk about elves in a Darkspawn specific thread?

Especially since I like the new look? You don't. Fine. I do. This thread is about darkspawn. If this thread gets locked because of elf talk, I won't be very happy.

And please note, I've had a bad day, so if it seems like I'm being a jerk it's because of that.

Your serious? You coudn't tell the difference.

Exactly. As an avid watcher and fan of zombies and zombie-based mediums, the typical zombie is no match for someone one on one. They are slow, shambling creatures who can easily be outrunned. Their advantage is an unrelenting sense of hunger, disregard of bodily safety, and stubborness to die unless executed.

When in numbers however, its not if one gets you, its if the hord gets AROUND you, whether that means surrounds you, or gets you as you sleep.

NOW, if you're dealing with something like the RAGE-infected of 28 Days Later, or zombies capable of sprinting like in Dawn of the Dead (remake, I have yet to get a chance to watch the original) then yes, a one on one encounter could prove dicey.

that's very hypnotizing and entrancing oddly enough....


@Serpieri: With long haired ones? No I couldn't. With short haired ones sure, but pointy ears and being short isn't enough of a difference to me. Neither were the Kossith for being taller humans with slightly pointy ears.

Fish? I don't see fish when I look at the new version of elves, especially considering I tend to make the eyes of my own characters larger. It also closer to the description of elves in the two books, larger cat-like eyes.

Now, I'm going to ask you again. If you want to discuss the elf look, please take it to a discussion centered around the elf look and not my Darkspawn thread. It's not relevant and in the past threads have been locked because they went off topic.

Elves are not the topic of this thread. The title says Darkspawn. Not Elves.

The problem is one and the same.

I was thinking more along the lines of the more recent zombie image (i am legend remake etc) because they fit more with the overall abilities of the darkspawn -- the darkspawn is certainly capable of running and performing other regular physical feats.
