Is there a lore reason for his over the top appearance and his Edward scissor hand hands?

Prolonged lyrium use can cause physical mutation. The magisters of old were said to be so affected by it they didn't even look like they'd ever been human. Blight corruption makes it even worse.

Yes, the reason is called "the Black City." He picked up a bad case of being a darkspawn while vacationing there.

Symptoms of this disease include a lack of regard for human life, the ability to jump bodies and extreme monsterism.

Just so you know... it's Play-doh (I'm assuming this is the reference you meant).

 

Corypheus was originally seen in the DA2 DLC Legacy. In that he looked more like a darkspawn; rough metal plates as armor, protuberances from the skin, but no red lyrium. In DAI they added the red lyrium elements, but he does look pretty similar to his DA2 appearance.

Corypheus doesn't look anything like an ancient Greek philosopher.

I think the Black City is just like the Racoon City filled of bioweapon created by the Evlen God, thus Solas sealed them.

I wonder what's with his height tho. He was human once, but now he's twice the size of even Qunari.

Lots of human bosses seem unusually tall in Inquisition, so it could just be a stylistic choice. Or maybe the elves aren't the only ones who shrank over the years ?

I didn't think anybody knew what Plato actually looked like.

[Giton]

Plato was actually pretty built. He was a wrestler.

Ohh this is the same dude who said Josephine looks like a cross between an alligator and a tree.

Now it all makes sense.

[Lumix19]

He looks okay. Except for the fact that his clothes are fused to his body (part of his body?), that's pretty weird.

I thought Josephine was based on his general description.

Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey everyday.

Well I certainly didn't see any women among my companions so I'm pretty sure this is true.

Red Lyrum. The source of making people look ugly (i mean, look at Carroll, he used to be decent-looking, but now he's butt ugly and nearly unrecognizable! All because of Red Lyrum).

[Serza]

...it's you again.

[Giton]

I'm sure you are all just distracted by his erotic claws.

Cory is a founding member of GWAR, fyi.

[leaguer of one]

Yes...

it's called the architect.

Indeed, it's a stylistic decision in how to represent the old magisters.

It's an effective design, as when Corypheus was originally revealed back in promo shots for the Legacy DLC, a lot of people called out exactly what he ended up being (based on nothing more than having seen the Architect).

As for his design specifically, it's a cross between the style they came up with back in Awakening and a lot of the DA2 darkspawn elements (the magisters are in at least some way darkspawn themselves).

And for the appearance, it's a combination of being an old model, bad lighting and animation, and scale.

[Wulfram]

Was the Architect also really tall?
