I also wonder just how much that might be true for the kerran. It's the face that people have been ripping on, and that's the one part of the character we're guaranteed to be able to alter in character creation. Could be that everyone's complaints can be answered by just moving a few sliders around.
That said, they do still need to scale pauldrons down, but that's my only real complaint with the art right now.

Dave Georgeson said they scaled some of the shoulders back, but not all, as you'd be able to "control all aspects of your character's appearance."
solely based on the Kerran, I have concerns with their armor/loot appearance in general.
That Kerran is wearing 100% blue, plate armor. Does ALL plate armor look like that on Kerran? Is it a set? etc etc

Minecraft.. most popular game ever right now, looks like SHIT
I believe that graphics are not as important as motion and fluidity in an MMORPG.
You can have the greatest graphics engine and art ever.. but if the models move like Luclin models then the game just isn't fun.
lol WHY Kerrans are Kerrans, they look like Kerrans. Though I'd be much happier in a Tiger skin than that lion.

There's not much to know about the game, but how do you still not know something like this? As it stands they said you can completely customize your character's appearance and armor.
Uh, don't animations and graphics usually go hand in hand?
And I think the female human model is worse than the kerran. It looks like someone mated with a ratonga.

Do you know anything about Kerrans? They are not lion-like in either EQ 1 or EQ 2. They're much closer to tigers or leopards and you can bet money they'll have alternate appearances in EQN.
Polling the community does not change official stance, and right now that stance is, "you can customize everything."
yea, they look like 1 single thing, and that's Kerran.
this is completely false and you haven't cited anything.

One of the panels said something about appearance customization in it, something along the lines of, "if you want a plate bikini, you can do that; if you want to be a fully armored tank, you can do that too".
They just haven't described the mechanism for it yet, and just how far they'll let it go.

Were the Vah Shir such a popular race in EQ that people were clamoring for a new cat race?
I'm really confused as to why they chose that to be at least one of the first two races rendered for the game, and why it served as essentially the mascot of EQN in the reveal.

when Luclin dropped there seemed to be an unhealthy crop of Vah Shir rogues being twinked. Then I stopped seeing them.

Well the Vah Shir are descendants of Kerrans, and Kerrans are playable in EQ2. It's not like they're a new race, they've been a part of EQ lore from the very beginning.
Troll & Ogre were animal enough for me, or at least out of the ordinary enough. Seems there always has to be a race you can cuddle with, though.

Probably because they make a good contrast to the human, as opposed to dwarves or elves, which are more just humans with different proportions.
