No inkie strip club? Hard pass, not that I would play it in the first place.
It's possible that EQ2 derived its inspiration from EQ, whereas EQ has Forgotten Realms as one of the sources. Could be more direct than #2.
Hard pass on Vanguard.
Inclined to agree with old quake/doom/build engine designers, same with original EQ in some places. Really good designs, even original Tomb Raider was cool. I associate it with the engines that were used, new engines just don't have that or are not used that way.
Although I would have to remark that avoiding copy pasta is why old world giants look one way and the kunark/velious giants all look different. Lack of cohesion, in the old world you have hill/ice/fire/sand giants sharing a similar model. Velious is off-putting, moreso than Kunark. |
I actually like the progression of the games graphics in the old content, because I feel like I am moving from one world to the next, one continent to the next. I love that hill giants and frontiers mountains giants are a little bit different. (OK a lot of bit different, I agree too different, but the effect is still a good one if we ignore that they are super round wierd)
I totally agree the artwork could have used the same engine and graphics design concepts as the original HG, but used a slightly different skin to give a more cohesive and coherent scheme, but ironically the evolution of the game is what made each expansion distinct.
Sometimes it's hard to tell what copy of what zone I am in when I try out wow. Because the only thing different now is my character model went from a night elf to a void elf.
Otherwise I agree. Forgotten realms was the best, especially back when it was just being computerized for the 1st time ever.
Digitization of real stuff makes it lose depth and reallness for sure. Virtualize my coffee why don't u... (sarcasm)
thanks for replying i am going insane and i liked the attention )
I believe the iksar models before luclin, got it just right, they were a little bit more complex and well designed than the old models but definately not too different, and looked so cool, probably better than my elf maiden, *sheepish grin*
