FPP (first person platformer) RPG would really be a sight to behold. Warrior type who breaks through walls, a rogue that parkours over it and a wizard that levitates between two platforms.

If you make it an FPP sidescroller, you'd have something nobody's ever done before. Think about it.
Nintendo did it way back in the 90s with Mario 64. You spend more time playing as Lakitu trying to fix the primitive camera than you do Mario.

And it looks worse now. Tides of Numanum, again?
The one on the left is the new one.
And I'd say the new version looks worse still, more generic, averaged out. The older design with the big nose and smile at least is recognizable and seems like he has a distinct personnality. A flawed but endearing character, rather than a commitee-designed-one-size-fits-all supermodel.

Also the yellow outline's ugly.

He still looks cute and unique, and really like Kylo Ren

I'd argue Mirror's Edge is more or less a first-person platformer, and people had a very love/hate reaction to it.

If somebody's dedicated enough to make two parody accounts as good as Sherry and Woedica and use VPN to prop up the illusion, they deserve to be treated like two distinct individual people. Bring on the sunshine, ladies/gentlemen/those that lieth betwixt.

Since Atlantis was "inspired" by Nadia of Blue Water, which was made after Jules Verne, that would be what, triple plagiarism?

Guess Obsidianites can't even get their references right.

They should of kept his shnoze and made his character quest about getting a reasonably priced nose job or keep it the way it is.

Yeah I don't really see the inspiration there.

Seems to me that she based part of the character on Audrey (bottom right) who's a kind of spunky mechanic from memory. This character in outer worlds looks like she's dressed for that sort of role.

What's up with adjustable wrench strapped to the shin ? I fucking hate concept artists making everything retarded for no reason. This kind of shit reminds me at every step during the game, that I'm a manchildren stuck with entertainment for 15 years olds.

Or rather was reminding me when I was still playing games, now it reminds me why I no longer bother. If only I could stop following game industry and buying games I never play in bundles, or with >= 85% discount, I'd be free.
