Archiv verlassen und diese Seite im Standarddesign anzeigen : About the hero
All in all i am very excited for risen and i have confidence in phirana bytes of delivering a good game. im happy with evrything that has been presented but there is one thing that concerns me a bit
Before i start explaining. i want to make clear that i by no means have negative intensions.
it is the look of the hero
in an RPG with a preset main character it is very important that the character you play stand out from the rest you come across. to get yourself in its role. you have to get to know his/her his attitude.
an example of excellent RPG characters i find
- The gothic guy
- JC denton ( deus ex)
- The characers from - Severance blade of darkness
- Gerald ( the witcher)
- Nicolas ( sea dogs)
if a character has an annoyin voice or a generic look. people have hard times to immerse themselves in the character.
For the voice part i have no worries. it has always been top notch in PB's games. But in my opinion the hero looks a but 13 in a dozen and at some points out of place.
Risen takes place in a medieval swords and sorcery setting. this setting is known for its " no mercy" attitude. it also shares a classical fantasy feel with fantasy themes like conan and red sonja for example.
The character does at some points doesnt fit in this setting
His hairstyle looks very modernly cut. and he has no facial hair at all, this i find a bit odd because a sailor who has been sailing for a while should look a bit more rough. what i want to say with this is. he looks a bit too clean for the world.
i know he hasnt chosen to shipwreck and maybe they sailed only for a short time. but in my opinion the hero should look like someone who can look out for emself. and has the look of adventure in his eyes
something like the classical robinson crusoe as shown here
http://www.usd116.org/uhs/library/images/crusoe.jpg
i made this thread because it seems there are quite a bit of people who seem to speculate about this as well
And we all know PB always reads the forums. and make decisions based on user feedback
i dont know how to start a poll on this forum but i would like to know the opinions of evryone. post the number of what you think in your reply. and describe why you chose it
1- The heroe is fine as he is
2- The heroe looks ok but it could been done better
3- Im not bothered with how the heroe looks at all
4- I dislike the heroe and i think he needs a more unique look
5- other

Offt: I will never understand the love for Deus EX nor the main character.
My opinion is that PB and DS have a very tough mission regarding the hero. Already strong comparisons are being made between Risen and Gothic and of course the hero in Gothic and the hero in Risen. As far as marketing goes Risen is in a net disadvantage because Gothic was first and the rule rule of thumb is simple "the first on the market product is the winner". In my opinion PB must convince us that the new hero is a totally different from the epic "nameless hero" not a clone/ lookalike/ long lost cousin. In this regard, any feature that distinguishes him is important (as long as the Risen hero is "ugly as an ape" it is fine as long as he isn't "uglier than the Gothic hero" ). The problem is that instead of creating a new "nameless hero" (cool) they create a "hero with no name" (not cool).
my vote - The hero is fine as he is
but i have to say that the vote is based upon shallow impressions. I could better justify my vote if i knew the hero's background story and aspirations ect. elements which are more important than looks.
thanks for replying mazzare
i understand your statement regarding.. first is the winner
but i hope you certainly wont think that i think in black and white
it is not a comparison with gothic but with RPG's in general
im not the type that says.. "gothic is always better"

You got a fair point out there Rulero, and I totally agree with your arguments. The hero's face looks too sharp, and when I say this I refer especially to the hair, too small and Prison Break look-a-like. It's very hard to get it right with a new hero, but maybe PB could arrange for a proper hairdue for the hero, if not I'm sure that I could look over this problem (not so huge imo) and enjoy this beautiful game to be.
As for the topic, #2 will do for me.

I don't know who nicolas from sea dogs is but I definitely like:
-gothic guy
-JC Denton
-Geralt
But we only know how he looks and that is much less important than his personality...
emperorzorn
06.08.2009, 13:12
I'd rather have some unique personality such as Geralt (4).
But the way PB games put the player directly into the role of the hero,
dont leave much space for a developed hero character.
The problem with the Risen hero is that his appearance isn't exciting, it doesn't raise intrest be it ulgy or good looking - there is an absense of emotions when you look at him... He looks like a simple modern bloke from around the corner who would almost never catch your attention.
Now if that would be done for a purpose (a moral, story twist etc.) i wouldn't find it bad or unwelcome, but i'm guessing that it's just bad design.
Defienietly 1. We just have to get used to NEW hero ^^
And what is peoples problem with short hair o.O Does REALLY everyone wish he had long hair???
to Maelthra its not about hair length. its about the style
it looks a bit modern
some of you are right to say that we need to get used to the character
and it indeed the looks arent so important as the character itself.
but we'll see.
Well, my opinion is a bit controversial over this issue. Basically, I dont think that this face is totally abhorrent, but I cant really live it either.
However, I dont dislike his face in the concept art. On the contrary, I love his face and if PB managed to transfer his brisk face (along with all the facial features, ie: beard, moustache, scars, retracted cheekbones), it would be a lovely sighting in-game. Basically, it would make him similar to assassin Altair or the guy from Prototype.
Alas, the face we have now is simply too bland. I always have a good laugh at how people describe the hero as an "ugly ape-face", but all in all I tend to agree with them - his delinquent-reminiscent brow doesnt make him stand out because of high level of intelligence...
Therefore, along the lines of this semi-poll, I would choose #5 just because I think options #2 and #4 should be merged: the hero has a non-likeable bland & simple face but it could/should be more unique & done better. However, I will get accustomed to his face nonetheless.
As far as his hair is concerned, I do not really care whether he has long hair or short army-style hair. As long as it fits his facial structure, I can deal with it.
But all in all, I will see his back most of the time & I care about his voice more than his face so I think it will be done.
Though there are quite a few NPC models who have better faces and would have done a better job as main heroes. Even though they wouldnt really stand out much.

3 for me. I don't care one iota what he looks like. Well, I don't want him to have 18 legs or something, but..
What does matter to me is what he says. I loved the dry humour and sarcastic answers you'd get from the Nameless Hero in the Gothic games. I understand that Piranha Bytes can't make the new hero a carbon copy of the Gothic dude, but I would prefer him to be as witty and funny as that again. If possible.
3 for me as well. Though I'd prefer the hero was fairly plain and doesn't stand out too much. I like he idea that this is an ordinary guy thrown into extraordinary circumstances rather than starting as a 'hero'.
The hero's face looks too sharp, and when I say this I refer especially to the hair, too small and Prison Break look-a-like.
maybe the hair is short so we can easily see it growing during the course of the game. that would be a funny feature to see :D

Not during the dialogs I believe... and they are a big part of the game too. But yeah, through most of the time we get to see his back. Which is somewhat good since I really don't like his mug too.
I like the hero of the Gothic. The real man! He had a sense of humor, a canny ... A new hero I think is too young.

I really hated the looks of the hero but in the meantime I got used to his mug. He doesn't look that bad, he's a whippersnapper, yes, but that's what's charming about him.

By the way, this must be the hero in Gothic 4.

Looks like a "trendy" guy from the year 2009 (not medieval style at all)...but the details and the graphics make him more appealing from the Risens hero IMO.
hm dunno, in some other game, i would say this g4 hero looks good, but for gothic game, dunno, he looks kinda wrong.

What is this? WHAT IS THIS? Metrosexual bishies in the world of Gothic? No no no, it can't be, I don't think my brain could cope with that.
The Risen hero has just the right rugged, average look for a nobody who becomes a hero, and since there are helmets in the game his face will be partly or completely obscured as soon as the player gets one; it is for this very reason that I don't really bother with face customisation in RPGs that allow it.

If you compare him with Gothic4, yes, he is way better. It is better to choose to have a hero like this one in Risen, with an ape fock-face who is giving you the impression that he is a couple of level downwards on the evolution scale, than a pussy ass bitch selling image to the people and crying like a crocodile for women who desert him. But I still think he could have a more profound and deeper look, because our guy has no charisma... and I am speaking about in-game look and not the ones from the posters/covers which looks far better.
the hero from arcania reminds me of Kevin Sorbo from the tv series Hercules, except he has blond hair :p

If you think about it in that direction G1 is Barrier Break and Risen is an Island break so the hero fits somewhat :D
G2 was Island Break... Risen is more like Ruins break, though island break can also be the case depending on the storyline :D.

IMO, Arcania's hero looks like Scott Weiland went emo.

There's probably a funnier comparison, I'm just missing it due to tiredness. Really though, I actually kind of like the Hero's appearance, reminds me oddly of Leo from The Witcher. Guess we'll see what he's like when the game comes out.

Leo From the WItcher, yeah I think that's a good comparison. I didn't like the hero when I first saw him, but this may have been screens representing him badly. Either they've changed him a little, or it's just me, cause the hero looks more characteristic in later screens.

I'd much rather have the hero be a bit on the homely than have him be "handsome" in modern terms. Ideas about the attractiveness of various physical characteristics have changed dramatically over time.

For sites that have hotlinking protection you can generally work around it by copying the address and pasting it into the address bar. This loads the target without sending the "referrer" data hotlinking generally looks for.

None that I know of. In the german forum, some users posted screenshots from the website of a german print magazine, claiming that these are showing the new hero. But doberlec said that this magazine got the same preview version which we played at the BBQ and which other mags receiced.
My personal guess is that the hero will be reworked only slightly. The intro video is already rendered and the cover is already printed. Whatever they do, the new hero has to fit to those. So maybe he'll get some beard stubbles or a scar to make him look a bit more unique and that's about it. If we're really lucky, they'll make his face structures (especially the cheekbones and eye sockets) less ape-like.
But we won't get a complete new hero.

Well, maybe not where you live. Here in Sweden I see teenage boys running around with that exact haircut all the time, not to mention all the popartists all around the word who looks more or less identical with that picture. The slightly unshaven chin hits the spot, lol.
Anyways, is the guy on the G4 image really Nameless, or a completely new hero?

It is the new hero, a fisherman. The old nameless is an evil king and looks like one:D
Well, I don't know. It is not a comp[licated enough hairstyle to call it modern: let it grow, trim a little, split down the middle. I think a middle ages guy could have done that, couldn't he?
The old Nameless Hero now has a name: King Rohbar the Third. Seriously (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU1F67lknGA). His transition from heroic nobody to villainous king was covered in Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods, although Arcania will probably have a flashback or something as well. So far it looks like the hero of Arcania may also be nameless.

Just to remind you to connect to this forum today (03.09.2009) between 18:00 and 18:30. Deep Silver will reveal in exclusivity the new look of the hero (if 400+ people connected)
Even if you do not care what the hero looks like (my case), it is always interesting to see how a company handles a marketing event. And this one is quite original.
English announcement and discussion here (http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/showthread.php?p=10424904#post10424904).
doberlec (http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/member.php?u=29200) has a new avatar. It shows us a (blurry) glimpse of the new hero: avatar29200_3.gif (http://upload.worldofplayers.de/files3/avatar29200_3.gif).
I think i can see a beard, or the hero just hasn't shaved for quite a while. And it looks as if he will have darker features.
I just hope he won't look like a wussy - i hate wussy looking heroes :B
Somehow our hero turns out to be looking a lot like our nameless hero from the shape of it D:

That's more like it;)
It's now actually very good in my opinion, and looks way much better than the one in Arcania.

Though the screenshot avatar looked weird, when I after watching the video I must say he looks amazing :O And now he sort of looks like the hero on the cover!
He looks great!
:dup:to PB and DS

Yeah he indeed looks better but I would prefer him to have long hair. :p
For some reason it just occurred to me his facial structure is almost identical to Denzel Washington`s :D.
Now we`ve got an actor providing his appearance for our hero :D
Loving it:D
Sorry for not being here, i was stuck in traffic for 45 minutes, damn romania roads:(
Yes, the new hero looks like a man, a manly man §respekt. The arcanian hero looks like a teenage punk compared to him, this is what i'm talking about §keks

I talked with him in private, as you can see in his previous post.
After the hero has been changed, I say 1. Yeah! Now we're cookin' on clean natural gas! :D

What's going to be his name? It can't be "nameless".

He does not have a name. PB said it kind of became their signature to make a hero without name. They do not want to put a label on the character but allow you to fill this gap with your own personality. It's supposed to enhance the immersion.
Hence, you could call him "nameless". Although I would suggest "RISEN hero" (RH) to avert confusion with the Gothic nameless hero. ;)

I meant to us fans.
RH sounds good. I'm for it.

How about "The Cast Away"?
I would simply call him "Guy who almost looked like an accident terrible". For short Gwallat. This name would fit his old face:D
You know, the Hero looks like a perfect Bandit or Guard/Inquisition but just imagine this guy as a mage LOL:p. Him as a mage would be like Xardas as a digger:p

To be honest, i thought exacly the same after few looks at new hero. The old head suited to a warrior and mage perfectly. And i just can't imagine this guy wearing that white-red inqusition robe.

The Gothic nameless looke horrible dressed in a novice robe, too. But I don't agree, I think this face fits any armor in the game. We'll wait and see.

This is a minor issue imo.

I'm kind of tired of the old mage archytpe, why can't a mage look like: http://www.rpguides.de/witcher/images/azarjaved.png ? I think the new face is a pretty good fit for a strong, determined mage type of character, it's just that it's not a face for a DnD type of mage.

Depends on which DnD universe you play ;)

I'm sure there will be a user mod that changes his face. ;)
I found something weird in latest 4playes preview, well actually in the screenshots with it.
http://www.4players.de/4players.php/screenshot_list/Allgemein/9503/Screenshots/0/0/Risen.html
It may be a graphic bug but... look at the look of the hero, he looks different, has ear bangs, beard and darker and more fluffy hair:

http://static.4players.de/premium/Screenshots/c3/0d/1998608-vollbild.jpg
The fun is that in that same batch of screens the hero has the usual look in most of them:

http://static.4players.de/premium/Screenshots/cb/c8/1998698-vollbild.jpg
And here he looks different again:

http://static.4players.de/premium/Screenshots/35/aa/1999028-vollbild.jpg
And in this one, from the very last ones, he has long hair or I'm imagining things?
http://static.4players.de/premium/Screenshots/0e/68/1999068-vollbild.jpg
So.... I have the secret hope the hero would be customizable, but after the new look presentation.... what was about those shots?
No bug; the look of the hero has recently been changed.
That preview is from _before_ the look changed, it is from the batch of preview copies sent to magazines in august, with the old, aka the monkey, look.
LOL guys, you don;t get it. The hero's look in those photos is neither the old one nor the new one. It is a totally different head, and in the last one even longer hair. Well, I still like the new head better, the guy with the beard looks like a drunken redneck.
Yeah he indeed looks better but I would prefer him to have long hair. :p

I totally agree, long hair no jail break look;
I liked the look of the Witcher character.
PB has a tendency to have buzz cut style characters, that's probably why the don't have any decent women. :rolleyes:
