AlperTheCaglar Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Short post really, but on my 120 hz monitor the game looks stunning. It's all I dreamed a modern conversion of IE would be, lush, clean, and very well balanced regarding model aesthetics. I did notice 2 things regarding models. Consider these humble suggestions: 1) We should be able to play with character model size (within the parameters of the racial maximum minimum heights) during creation 2) Dwarven heads are too big. I mean, encephalitis big. Just shrinking those handsome dwarf craniums 20% should balance their proportions from chibi to proper. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshae Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Why would character size matter? It'll only change the in-game view by a pixel row or two. But I guess they could have a small-medium-large option for those who like to fiddle with the character build. I believe they had to modify some of the proportions for the purposes of seeing them in game. Edited September 26, 2014 by rjshae 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Lephys Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 How do you know how big dwarven heads should be? You got some fantasy dwarves hidden somewhere that we don't know about? Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlperTheCaglar Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 They just look off right now, the head looks aesthetically imbalanced. I'm not saying make them Space Marines a la 40K, but just slightly more proportional. Ahhh... Dark Sun... you had the best dwarves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lephys Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yeah, I was mainly just being silly. Hence the smiley.

Matt516 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Don't think adjustable model size is really a priority - the dwarven heads are too big though, I agree. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkathellar Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 +1 to shrinking the gigantic dwarf heads (as well as aumuauauauaua heads, to a lesser degree). The adjustments to character posture, female moon godlike heads, and orlan heads since 278 are a huge improvement, but dwarves still look kind of like they've been summering in the uncanny valley. Also, I know it's too late, but [insert generic complaint about death godlike looking awful]. If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiebras Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Is this the thread were we ask for character model changes? Can we give Aumaua shark heads please? Pretty please? + = 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lephys Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I totally forgot about that show! That would be HILARIOUS if the Aumaua were just sharks with beefy arms and legs! Haha...

Fiebras Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Or just looked more fish-like in general. Fish-faces. You know who I though about when I first heard of the Aumaua? I dont think the movies did him justice. Edited October 2, 2014 by Fiebras 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantics Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 How do you know how big dwarven heads should be? You got some fantasy dwarves hidden somewhere that we don't know about? Male dwarves should have bigger heads than female dwarves More seriously though, big head tend to make models look like caricatures – less 'elegant'.

Lychnidos Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) It doesn't help that based on videos and screenshots it seems the dwarfs have bigger heads than all the other races. At least to me. Edited October 3, 2014 by Lychnidos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2¢ Yeah well dwarven heads need to be large enough to store all the extra ale they haven't swallowed yet. To compensate, female dwarven hips should have evolved to be equally humongous so that their offspring can make it out in one piece... 2 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

TheGoatMan Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I wouldn't mind if the death godlike had smaller head growth options. The wiki says the growths can go from just covering the eyes to the entire head. So it would be pretty sweet if they had at least one option that looked more like an eye cover/mask. 1 Break beneath the endless tide - monk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female Deathlikes get an almost perfect "helmet"-looking growth. I'd love to see something similar for male Deathlikes. Right now, all the male options are downright gaudy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
