View Full Version : Ugly characters?

Just starting out in Everquest again and I have to say that it's really hard to get re-adjusted to the old style character models. I guess I'm kinda vain at heart, but I feel that it's important to be proud of your character's look, especially if you're going to be dedicated to it for a long period of time.

First I thought maybe a big, ogre warrior would be a cool idea... then I found out that even at end game decked out with full plate armor they still just look like babies in pajamas. Trolls aren't much better, and they run like they're trying to hold in a loaf between their butt cheeks while dashing to the toilet.

Human females have all the charisma of a woman made of legos, and female high elves look like someone forgot to draw in most of their face, etc.


So I guess my question is... what types of character(s) do YOU think look good in Everquest? Any particular favorites? Any that you absolutely hate?


Maybe I can be persuaded with some opinions. :D

it might take you a year of your life if you are just now starting out but by that time you will look cool as shit, with your epic and your shiny loots, but untillt hen you will wear banded and leather and look like a shanty town noon and like it.

Plate looks hot on female Dark Elves. DE clerics/SK chicks are pretty epic.
#2 on the hot list would have to be a blonde Wood Elf in Thorny Vine.

Man, I have the weirdest boner right now.

Dark elves in plate in general look pretty cool. Human monks tend to look pretty good. Barbarians look pretty cool. Really it's all personal preference.. These models may not be shiny and new but it doesn't mean they can't look cool

Old models > "new" models

The luclin models ruined the game more or less. Especially the ogres and trolls were ruined. Ogres looked like fat gimps with the black make up around their eyes and little "cute" teeth sticking out. Trolls looked just weird with their long faces and muscly bodies posing - and the animations were totally horrible and choppy.

Wood Elves or Dark Elves both look appealing so between the two of them you could cover a wide variety of classes. Half Elves have very attractive faces as well, just have the short hairdo.

I like all of the old models in EQ really. They are my favorite models of any game that I've played too at that rate.

The only one I really never liked was the Half Elf, always found it funny how everyone thought that they were the sexy looking race. I think they add some nice variety, but I'd never make one myself.

My drink ended up on the keyboard.

Ugly characters? I hate some of the human model faces. The porno stache dude rules but the ginger dude? The hell were they thinkin? No one likes gingers. As far as full models there's the obvious female ogre. That model looks like the least amount of time was put into modeling it. I also dislike Erudites because even the plate wearers sometimes look like they're wearing cloth/leather.

Good looking characters? Porno stache human in any armor. Male dwarves pretty much rule. I also have a thing for the male troll model. Even though they are feared by most they just seem so jolly and carefree. The ass scratch animation just adds to it.

It's a matter of preference, you should be able to decide for yourself after perusing the character creation menu for awhile. I like the bestial races personally, the trolls in particular. Bear in mind that diversity is of especial significance in this regard, not all characters are supposed to be some romanticized archetype of hero or villain. As for models I absolutely hate, the answer can only be each and every washed-out, awkward, plasticene travesty included in the Luclin expansion.

If you're incapable of deciding for yourself, I'd say you sound like someone who would play an elf...probably a dark elf.

All Luclin models look better except iksar, i could never stand the new iksar model. While the old male and female models looked tall and proud, the new male model looked like quasimodo on steroid ... dont even get me started on the luclin female iksar ... HO - RI - BLE !! (Hope whoever designed those models are scraping chewing gums from sidewalks or something equally befitting their talent).

Sad part is i only had new models activated for the few races i played (DE, HE, Erudite and a cpl more), and old models on the rest. Trying to raid with all new models activated was impossible and trying to activate mount while on old model didn't work.

My all time favorite would have to be DE, not just for looking good but for the role play value, being evil is just so much more fun!

New models look like the same model (is a horrible Copy paste) ... But old models have Charisma.

The "wonky" run animation of the troll has been what I fall of love for them. is hilarious, This game needs THAT "touch". Love see in the horizon a group of ogres runing ahead me, is see that and start to laugh of happiness.

I like that there are big characters. Long Live Walls of Fatys!

Clutter

Most of the new models were a downgrade, but I liked a lot of the new armor. I always played knights, and platemail on the old models was just a skin on your body. It was nice having plate that looked like plate.

The purple odd-eye troll face is superb, undoubtedly, though as many troll characters as I've created I've never used it as I anticipated that it would be the most popular. Of course that doesn't mean too much with this face-changing nonsense, but hopefully that will be removed at some point.

Maybe I can be persuaded with some opinions. :D
1) I like the old-style ogres and trolls
2) You're vain, really?
3) Human females haven't really ever bothered me
4) High elf females/males do look kind of young(ish) pasty

But anyway, I guess I'm saying that I hate most of the luclin models. They're over-muscled. Boobs on the humans are warped. The half elves have to be the worst conversion ever in the history of gaming. The male Vah Shir looks like a women and has boobs. And many of them run like they got something rammed up their butt deep - easy to notice with half elf and wood elf. There're a few of the luclin models that I like, though. The lizard is ok. The barbarian looks kind of WoW-esque, but is ok. Generally, the luclin models look less human to me and too serious.

I mean, really, can you find ANYTHING in the luclin models that's as far out as the old model for the gnome? NOTHING in luclin truly looks old. The 'old' faces are just young faces with white hair. Luclin is unable to make fun of itself.

An old eq model can walk into hte bar looking like crap and say "I'm beautiful." Luclin is no where to be found.

But anyway, ya, they're old. Low polygon count. Gfx suck. But they got soul.

I think, if only they had added more polygons to the characters in Luclin (old's model respecting). and added more armor graphics (preserving normal armors, change look of sets like WoW but not so outrageously recharge with lights and sparks), and the old animations but a little more worked. Surely it would have been better. :/ ...

I miss see a Ogre or Troll like old Graphics but redone to actual graphics.

I played a barbarian female for the longest of any EQ char. But I really like the way plate Erudites look in certain armor. Darkforge/Blood Ember looks totally tits for instance. I think male barbarian warriors/shamans look pretty cool. And I think trolls look mean and green but I hate playing characters that large so I would never roll one. DE males look better than females especially in plate and humans look good without helmets. Female barbs would look okay except they have a giant hole in their ass armor where their leg sticks through, and their hands and forearms are uber tiny and weird.

I always played the red headed dwarf male for my main.

He is one good-looking dwarf. The only problem is on each combat round I have a chance to get stunned if I catch a reflection of my graceful visage.
