I'm talking about these. That last screenshot! Look at that!

The guy is wearing a straw hat AND... it actually looks like a straw hat! Woohoo!

Hey, does this mean forks will look like forks, pans will look like pans, and spoons will look like spoons too? That's like one of the few things that bugged me about <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

What do you think of how the characters look? I wonder when we'll see some shots of some impressive armor and weapons on the characters. They look so frail.

EDIT: Now that I say that, I've noticed a huge axe in some of the shots.

The characters don't look as good as <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> probably because they aren't prerendered. But that does mean that animation will be smooth. In any case, I prefer smooth animation, so I'm happy. But the characters do seem a little on the thin side. What happened to good old muscley hero's?

did anyone notice the portrait? it's different from before, or have i missed a lot? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

anyway, the screenies are really nice & look exciting, especially the one which is not dungeon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

effects look cooler & bigger than before & yes, i agree with tovi about the character being a tad anorexic. when will larian show female character? there better be female characters in as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

talk about the demon knight, i wonder if it's possible to equip him/her/it with weapons & armour as well as sharing potions & stuff?

though there are more 3D renderings in the game engine this time round, i still see that there's no 'reflection' of lights. ok, maybe no bump mapping for now but i hope there will be something like that for DD2.

as for the stance of the character, i sure hope that there are more than just one stance for weilding 2 handed weapon. there's always the bushido 'hidden blade' style that i like; the sword is pointing down at the back as if it's still in its sheath with 2 legs slightly bended & apart, one to the front & the other to the back. more jedi knight: outcast stance.

screenie 2 looks real good to me, don't ask why. I just love it.

I like the new compact interface! Also, note the third screen shot:

Spiritual: Of the mind and soul. eg. Resisting a charm or stun spell. Could also be Will Power.
Etheral: Damage from a non-coporial source. eg. A ghost's touch causing your flesh to die.
