Most faces came out pretty close to how they looked in DA:O.
Cullen was a spot on match, Leliana looks better than before, Anders is almost the same. Zevran and Alistair could have used some more work. Teagan was also a very close match.
I think they could do a very good job of recreating Morrigan's face as long as they take their time to do it properly which, with her supposedly being important to overall story of DA, is quite likely.
If you're going to spend a lot of time looking at a character than you need to make sure everything is in order.
As for her clothes, I'd wagger she'll get a new robe, to simbolize her increased power and importance.
I'll give you that Cullen turned out pretty good/similar to DAO.
Leliana looks ok- my issues there stem from the fact that her features all have the same trademark similarities that every face hsa in the DA2 system, namely the rounded /bloated jaw, overly rounded nose and identical sized mouth/lips. She looks ok, but I don't know that I'd say its an improvement.
Teagan looked pretty terrible, as did Alistair, as did eyebrow-less Zevran. And Anders looked ok, but again, sort of the same deal as Leliana in that he gets stuck with the sameness issues of the DA2 facemorphs.
Maybe they could make Morrigan look decent, but they really need to overhaul the face morph system such that they can actually have emotive faces beyond arching one's eyebrows. DA2's faces (IMO) are just as stiff as Origins and (IMO) look worse in that they have the texture of rubber dolls or something. You look at stuff like LA Noire or Deus Ex: Human Revolution where they make reading faces part of the gameplay and you wonder why isn't BioWare trying to have that sort of thing one of their calling cards, especially when they have so much dialogue in their games? They need to seriously upgrade their engine as it just doesn't hold up at all compared to their competitors and the whole cinematic approach they opted for now doesn't do it any favors by putting everything under greater scrutiny.
Anyway, between Game of Thrones on HBO, reading Song of Ice and Fire and The Witcher 2 coming out next week, I'm getting my quality fantasy fix where DA2 came up short.
But, on the topic of Morrigan and bugs (what else?) I wonder if anyone got the codex entry on the Study of the Fifth Blight Volume 2 to fully trigger in DA2? I saw in
this thread that supposedly its supposed to make mention of the Morrigan/Warden romance but supposedly it doesn't trigger due to the messed up import?
