Very nice artwork and I like the armor. Its sexy but its not rediculase like in World of Warcraft.
Fedaykin

I just can't get enough of those graphics, that shield alone in the first pick is amazing!

The game looks amazing. Lets just hope it lives up to the hype. Might be worth getting JUST for the graphics.
Libe

I am really looking forward to this game... Between being a kick ass warrior and bar fights, how can you lose. sly wink
xyryn

The armor might look cool, but it is still ridiculous. Hope the guys of Hyboria like looking at some really bad scars. And those armbands...nice to know they have enough free magic floating around to keep those up on the arms and not down around the elbows, forcing the arms to stay straight.

Nicely done graphics, however.

The men don't wear much more. This is Conan, after all. Everyone loves looking at really bad scars.
Jaminos

Hear that fed you can be a prostitute. I new your organization has been fighting for that for a long time. I also won when they brought in the ability to do obscene things in public like vomiting and taking a leak.

As far as looking at scars is going....They actually did a good job to emulate the armor from the late greek era and still leave a bit to look cool. And as far as the Lore goes, pretty much everywhere above Aquelonia has cultures that warant scars. They are about 90% barbarians and to have large scars warants respect, all but Nemedia, which views themselves to be a bit more civilized.
Sai'nu

Looks nice. Are they using a Dual Core set up with Vista; or will folks with older rigs be able to play this ya think?

We prefer to be called transient.

This thread is about the game and its graphics. You can call each other names in PM's. I suggest you do so.

/shrug I have no idea what you are talking about Rinna I was commenting on the games graphics. As for the women it is not something that applys to me as I will be going as a traditional male character. Do not get me wrong they look good but I try to avoid playing as female toons.

It dose not sit right with me to be hit on by guys. All this means is those playing female characters will be having to deal with twice as many guys flirting whilst I grind till I loose interest for about a month and pick it up again.
xyryn

I'm curious as to why the guys still flirt with female toons when so many of them are just other guys.

Hell, I would flirt with Illithrya all the time...yea i know its a guy, even heard him talk on vent, but my character would find that character hot, so thats what happens when you roleplay! Razz
Jaminos

Meh it still rubs me the wrong way. Being the anti socialist Jam is I do not worry about flirting that often.
Griven

The infamous IT. 'Nuff said.

Conan spent alot of time in just loin cloth and a sword, so it all fits well with the REH world.

He is anti-socialist! But thats fine. There are not many Socialists in Conan so it should work out fine. sly wink

She might be referring to OOC flirting. I've seen that happen, too. Can't really explain it, myself...beyond simple desperation for those individuals.
xyryn

I can understand the Fed style, where he does it 'cause his toon would. However, those guys who do it for real, and get bent when the female toon warns it is male...or get bent when the female doesn't respond "properly"...those are the ones I don't understand.
Griven

Like a lot of things people do behind a mask of anonymity, it's just another fantasy. They want the person behind the attractive Amazon warrior to be just as attractive. That's the image that they have in their mind. Once that image is disrupted (as it always is), they get angry. Angry at the other person for not being what they expected, and perhaps angry at themselves for having such illogical expectations.

Thats why I like what Nyvveck did. His character is damn right scary and ugly. It is the same in real life.
Jaminos

Like I said I rather say no to both and play the game. In Conan I plan on doing a completely different character then Jaminos. I will be using the same name most likely because it works in both future and fantasy settings. However I most likely will go barbarian an be a tank/damage (not because it is like Conan but because I want to)

My other choice might being a Lich just because it is fun to club thy enemies whilst I am a living dead.
Griven

Keeping the same name through different games also helps with identification. Not just in a literal sense (ie, "Oh hey, there's that guy I used to game with!"), but also in a figurative sense.

For many of us, a name is all we get to see of each other. If a name changes, then our whole perception of the person behind the name can change.
Dew

In an RP game, changing others perception of your character might be the desired effect tho. And how much baggage will you bring to another game using the same name.
Griven

It's not necessarily the perception of your character that can change, but the perception of you.

Just a thought.
Jaminos

You do have to admit, how you play your character dose reflect somewhat of who you are. Grant it I am not a cold anti socialist killer but Jaminos dose reflect a part of who I am even if it is a small part.

The new Jaminos for Conan will be very much so different and I plan on him being a headstrong killer who has an insatiable bloodlust. I plan on getting him into as many bar fights as I can. I want him to be an absolute ruthless killer just slaughter anyone who tell him he is not the best in Hyboria. Now that is not a part of me as more of a representation of my pride.

Where as SWG Jaminos is a representation of my view on life. Fight for #1 because there are too many people out there trying to screw you. Don't get me wrong I am not that dark it is just a bigger representation of it.
Griven

He's anti-social, Jam. Socialists are members of the socialist political party. Just thought I'd clear that up. Smile (granted, he could very well be anti-socialist as well, for all I know)
Jaminos

/shrug you know what I mean. Much to Rinna's displeasure I do not proofread.
Griven

I'm pttery srue you konw waht I maen wehn I tpye tihs, but taht deos not mettar mcuh gevin teh qu4L!ty of teh slleping.

Just because you don't proofread doesn't mean you shouldn't use the right words, even if you don't spell them correctly.

In my defense I thought I had wrote it correctly. And I did, I just got the two crossed. It is not a big deal anyhow.
Sai'nu

I haven't been just a huge follower of the older or newer Conan comics but do they seem to be borrowing any of their look material from them?

A recognizable armor set from a comic? Something from the movie? Kind of like what we've had with SWG.

So far nothing has stood out too much other than a few of the snake heads from the first Arnold movie. Mostly new design material from the looks of it.
Jaminos

It looks like a collection of all types. I recognize some armor from comics and some from drawing and some from the movies. I am sure it is a big jumble of all of them.
