Make Kharra look more like the real thing

in NS2 General Discussion
I was hoping that with the features available to the UW development team, that the Kharra aliens in NS2 would look closer to what they are really supposed to look like. Many of the features of the aliens appear to be left out. This lack of attention to detail is clearly a blatant chauvinism against the plight of the Kharra.

    On the right of the forums is a tab that says "Feedback". You can add your suggestion there or alternatively use the I&S forums. Good luck.

    Please post a picture of what the aliens are "supposed" to look like.

    I'm sure someone will take the bait...

    Hmm, model detail, texture detail or their overall "realistic alien look"?

    Which one do you mean... As far as I can see, the model detail is pretty high, texture detail quite similarly high. That third thing, do you want James Cameron's aliens in here or something, I don't quite understand where you're going with this thread...

    Here are some examples:

    - All the gorges right now are fat. While most gorges tend to be on the chunky side, some could actually manage to keep fit. Portraying all gorges as overweight enforces an unfair stereotype that negatively affects the Kharra species as a whole.

    - Skulks are typically not that clean, especially when it comes to oral hygiene. This is exacerbated by the constant presence bacteria. This doesn't mean that all skulks fall into this category. It would be good if players could choose the option to show skulks with even teeth -- and maybe even braces as a nod to skulks willing to change.

    Character customization (thinking body customisation of City of Heroes, toned down of course) would be pretty cool. As long as their appearance does not affect their "stats". But this feature would require more work for the devs who are already quite busy, what with fixing the engine and adding/testing features


    [edit]
    Size changes should be avoided though as it would influence gameplay with smaller hitboxes...

    "Make Kharra look more like real thing"

    Right there! I have spotted a mistake.

    Make Kharra look more like the real thing?
    Are you referring to the fact that Kharra might exist in real life?


    This is an April fools joke for sure. Or that he is just stupid. One of the other.
