Why oh why!!!Follow

Ok, i got my copy of EQ2, all during the installation i was itching to make the studly barbarian fighter that would eventualy become the studly barbarian paladin, which has been my dream ever since EQ1. I was always mad that Barbarians that worshiped mithanial marr couldn't be paladins. I get everything set up, click on the barbarian, and lo and behold, THEIR FUGLY!!!!!! Why oh why did SOE take the awesome looking barbarians and make the, look like Ogres from EQ1!!!!!! DAMN YOU SOE, FOR RUINING MY DREAMS ONE AGAIN!!!! /cry

I won't be able to play till Wednesday when my new Video Card is installed, of which I also have a question for on a different post. Here I was just going to ask if someone knows if the Humans in the game are f00glier then EQ1 humans? Because I want my Monk or Bruiser to have Spiky hair. So my question is, is their a race that can be Monk or Bruiser that will have a spiky hair model? *Iksars don't count :P*

Hahahaaa
Don't feel bad my dwarf looks like a stunted 40 year old, at least the rest of the races get a cute and "young" look.
And don't even get me started on the HUGE hips and breasts the females have. I just know there is a sony artist out there with a weird idea of female anatomy.

I don't think they're that bad - you just have to do some work with the eyes and facial features.

Well, barbarians looked cool at screen shots anyway...

I wouldn't even have tried EQ2 if they had used EQ1 Luclin models. The EQ2 models are an improvement in some cases but they could have spent a little more time on them in my opinion. The only clear gain was in character animations which are much better and almost realistic.

And what is up with all these bouffant hairdoos? Long hair isn't an option for any race/gender.

lol, at least the dwarves in EQ2 are a bit prettier than in EQ1...so I finally made my dwarf pally I've been wanting

I'm happy with the way all the characters look. Well, except for Kerran. They look like real cats and all, but something about them is odd looking to me. I know I'll eventually get used to the look though.

Oh, and my iksar is pretty!

Well i find barbarian great, much better then the EQ1 first modeled thin barbarians hehe. And also i think Iksar looks great.

As for dwarves, great beards there, much better than eq1 :)

I was looking forward to making a Erudite Pally. The Erudite Pallies in EQ1 with all the plate just looked awesome!

The Erudites in EQ2 look like a stretched out ET I'm serious I made one and my GF kept telling me to "phone home, ET phone home"

So I wound up making a Gnome mage, he's almost done with his wizard quest. He's not as cute as EQ1 Gnomes but oh well. I am not completely happy with the direction they took the character models. Gnomes look really cute when using emote animations. Do a /woowoo or a /yeah once in awhile, I like to /flex after a really hard encounter. Has all the othters in the group laughing. Since I'm normally the only "footstool" in the group.

Don't get me started on the armor and how everyone in your class looks the same (Mage classes anyways) atleast the leather & plate wearers can change stuff up to make them distinctive.

Gnomes have that cute jabber language. Back when VO were working, there'd be one gnome I kept on seeing that would only speak that language... soo cute.

There's one (or is she a halfling?) in North Qeynos that has this really nice voice... o.O; I'm not weird... stop looking at me like that.

The female swagger when walking is... yeah. O.O

Sorry, kinda threadjack.
