Half Orcs and Orogs Look Weird

Post by Waldo52 »

This is not necessarily an Arelith thing, it's a Neverwinter Nights thing. Half Orc and Orog characters look like a novice graphic design student's first attempt at rendering Shrek.

I know the graphics for this game are terribly dated but the other basic races at least look fine for what they are. The orcs' weird blocky top-heavy bulk looks awkward in any costume it's stuffed into.

Have other people gotten the same feeling looking at the playable orc races? I wonder if this is a common feeling and weather anything can be done about it.

The new half-orc female heads are good. Males are better than they were especially if you want to go real ugly but maybe they could use a few more options. Though honestly picking the right color scheme goes a long way.

Saw a female horc dual wielding battleaxes and thought the animations and aesthetic were great.

I mean it's hard to for them to measure up to the godlike aesthetic of gnomes.

I am not a fan of them, but I find more people like them than dislike them.

Ironically enough, the common criticised gnomes are half the reason i don't like them. Oversized arms
