Anyone else think Dragon Age 2's art style is too bland?

It just doesn't feel like it is its own, and feels generic in every single way.  The darkspawn for Dragon Age 2look awful in comparison to their predecessors. The darkspawn in Origins looked vicious, savage and monstrous. The darkspawn in DA2 look, well.... not very good.

Likewise I don't like the cartoony warcraft ears the elves now have and the new Qunari don't float my boat. Perhaps I'm seeing a bit too much TSR/D20 "Tiefling" fanboyism in their design. It almost looks like a desparate plea for popularity (although it matches the new elf look so perhaps there's a thematic thing going on there).

What does it mean that you find the art style "generic in every way," yet go on to say how distinctive it is and how much it affects you? i think you're confusing "generic" with "dislike."

People notice when Oghren's not wearing any pants.


Now the nightmares return, thanks a lot. Posted Image



I imagine John Epler's been having constant nightmares ever since he saw that pic of naked Oghren in battle Posted Image


I think Joseph Conrad said it best :(

"Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it."

I really ought to be less ambiguous, as this sort of thing tends to happen a lot :pinched:

which quote? This one?

How does one kill fear, I wonder? How do you shoot a specter through the heart, slash off its spectral head, take it by its spectral throat?


So many quotes that seem to fit Posted Image

at least I think this one fits Posted Image.


That one works, too. Though I was going for the classic, the ever-recognizable. The one that says it all, really.

'The horror... the horror...'

And now I've sufficiently derailed this topic. Back to the rails you go!
