clasic vs upgraded character look

[Barj]

I looked before and again today for something on how to upgrade the look of the characters.
The trolls and Ogres are just tooooo ugly to look at.

[Ele]

original models or nothing

[bizzum]

You would not be happy with the "upgraded" trolls and ogres, I assure you.

[Yardcore]

There is no such thing as Troll and Ogre upgrade lol

[Pringles]

I prefer the luclin troll / ogre models.

[Ephirith]

imo the luclin ogre/trolls were the only models that weren't substantially worse than the classic ones

Also frogloks if they count, I kind of liked them

[azeth]

Luclin dark elf model is nice. Ogres went from lovable silly to ferocious hulking muscle men though.

[Psionide]

Luclin graphics suck

Luclin graphics suck

What he said.

[Swish]

Trollplay with the Luclin models just isn't the same :(

[Droog007]

Some of the Luclin models "look" ok (e.g. human female) - but then they move, and I want to stab myself in the eyes with fondue forks. Compare human monk flying kick, for example.

[Barj]

So, does that mean you don't know how to change em, or that you don't like em?

[mostbitter]

options tab before you load the game but they are disabled here so you will have to find some other place to indulge yourself with that garbage

[Barj]

Thanks Mostbitter. That answers my question very well.
It isn't a big deal with me, I just wanted to change the look of the ogre mostly.
They still scratch their bums either way.

[fullmetalcoxman]

Here ya go barj. I use about half the luclin models.

classic ogre is classic

LOL man, for real? Troll and Ogre Classic models are WAY better than the Luclin ones. They are the true powah ;)

[Swish]

they all suck, Gnomes are slightly better but just because they kept true to the original models

I thought gnomes were among the worst! The facial hair on the luclin models for them is shite!

[webrunner5]

I will admit that the gear looks better with the Luclin Models, but not the toons.

[Nogdar]

I've never even tried really the new models more than 10 seconds because back then I could barely run EQ and then I simply hated them with a passion for not being nostalgic at all to me. Did they add different looks for the armors? I suppose there still is only 1 type of plate armor for ogres for example, but I'm curious?

custom helms looks way more badass on old models, especially iksar.

What is clasic?

Strangely enough, there are actually fewer armor textures using the new models because the new models don't support Velious textures.

-----------------------------

While I don't care too much what someone else prefers, my main gripe with respect to the Luclin models relates to how a character might have entirely different features like facial hair and hair color depending on which model was selected. The terrible quality of animations for the newer models didn't help any, either.

... my main gripe with respect to the Luclin models relates to how a character might have entirely different features like facial hair and hair color depending on which model was selected.

But didn't they add, at the same time, the ability to change your character customizations as many times as you wanted? Your choices were no longer frozen at character creation. (Which was no small hit to immersion, IMO)

[Ferok]

Animations were the problem in most cases, not the model.

Removal of velious textures was a terrible move. They should have been looking for more ways to customize a character's look, not trivializing it.
