Since it seems they're going to continue with the DA2 look, I'm hoping they'll move more in the direction of the original concept art. Especially the lidless, red eyes and gaping maw...

I can't take the spiky armor seriously. Looks way too try-hard dark and edgy.
That darkspawn has the most adorable eyes evar.
And dem shoulder spikes... ![]()

I'm okay with the spiky armor, I more like the idea that darkspawn armor is crudely designed.
Just as long as we get some more disturbingly beautiful Darkpsawn that make my skin crawl, like Broodmothers, I'll be happy*.

*crying myself to sleep.
I hope Darkspawn look like this in DAI.

Orlesian darkspawn!
Would laugh if Orlesian darkspawn have better fashion sense
If that's not going to be the new Darkspawn, can we at least get him as a mount?
I agree, they should go back to the DAO Ogres
I quite liked some of the darkspawn in the dlc. I'm struggling to remember but I think there were several, mainly Genlocks, that weren't in the main game? I didn't like the basic Hurlocks at the start of DA2 at all.

At least.

At this rate, I wouldn't be shocked if they did.
Orlesian darkspawn!

Please, don't burn more nightmare images into my skull that involve the Broodmother.

Big Darkspawn deserve cute clothes too! ![]()
Big Darkspawn deserve cute clothes too!
Though I'd be all for it if she got a fabulously fancy hat, all discerning Orlesian ladies need a fabulously fancy hat.
Leliana- "You are very beautiful, brood mother."
Brood Mother- "Tell me something I do not know."
Leliana- "But you always dress in such rags. It suits you I suppose. A little tear here, a little rip there to show some skin. I understand."
Brood Mother- "You understand I lived in the Deep Roads, I hope?"
Leliana- "Maybe we could get you in a nice dress one day. Silk. No, maybe velvet. Velvet is heavier, better to guard against the cold in anywhere there's air. Dark red velvet, yes. With gold embroidery. It should be cut low in the front of course, we don't want to hide your many maaany features."
Brood Mother- "Stop looking at my breasts like that. 'Tis most disturbing!"
Leliana- "You don't think so? And if it's cut low in the front we must put your flaps up to show off that lovely neck."
Brood Mother- "You are insane. I would sooner let The Architect dress me."
Leliana- "It'll be fun, I promise! We'll get some shoes too! Ah, shoes! We could go shopping together!"
Oh my god stoppppppppppppp
I'm imaginging the Brood Mother's voice as Ursula's from The Little Mermaid
I found it unfortunate that the interesting concept for DA2 darkspawn wasn't executed as imagined. I liked the idea, but it was just never realized in the game. So I'm hoping that they will use the same idea, but be able to implement it fully with the new engine.
Matt said (in roundabout fashion) that the DA2 hurlocks turned out like ass. We know it, and they know it.
Hopefully they plan to improve upon the implementation of their design.
I don't think it's at all likely they plan to revert to the original designs. But I do hope for improvements, especially the hurlocks and emissaries (actually, the latter demands a complete redesign, but I don't really expect one). The ogres need a better face, but I wasn't bothered by the rest of the model. The genlocks and the two alphas actually turned out really well (the hurlock alpha was possibly a bit too derivative, but I still think it worked).
Assuming the darkspawn show up at all, of course. There's lots of other stuff going on in the world.
Its a Dragon Age game, 3 things you can count on:
1)We will go into the deep roads
2)We will kill Darkspawn there
3) We will have unfortunate akward romance scenes that leave me discusted with the video game world.
