Fanboys gonna fanboyism... >:3

Lady Roe looks cool, I hope people actually actively use them in game. I don't know if its just the way the screen shot was taken, but the Highlander woman looks like a man in drag.:eek: I was hoping more for something like the one and only concept art that was published which made them look more tribal and ever so slightly like a ganguro girl. Ah well. More variety is always welcome!

Hopefully we'll get to see more pictures and samples of new hairstyles soon! And larger pictures please!

lot of good information in that latter.
I'm looking forward to the beta.
ohohohohoho

But they added Micro Transactions to Dead Space 3, that's what everyone wanted, right?

There was also the meek and emo Boyqo'te with black hair and skinny build. They were just tossing ideas around at that point. It looks like the RSE on the Highlander is the same as the Midlander.

Can we get some bigger images in the next dev blog posts please maybe 1920 by 1080 so we can see the masterful detail in them ^_^.

Nothing quite like a girl that's both beautiful and big/strong enough to fight alongside me as an equal. Why have a women you can protect when you can have a women that kicks the same amount of ass that you do?

Highlander FemHyurs and FemRoes... Kagato is quite interested. <3

Roe reminds me of WoW female orc, except with 1000% better graphics lol (not an insult, unless you hate WoW - but that's not my problem ;P).

Agreed, agreed, and agreed! Since we were introduced to Merlwyb sometime back, seeing what a playable Female Roe looked like met my expectations. I agree with Shougun. They remind me of a beautiful WoW female orc (with WAY better graphics), or sort of like the She-Hulk. Definitely approve.

But what was unexpected for me was the Female Highlander. I thought she was going to be more tribal, more warrior-like. And I find I actually like this look better! Like Hiir said, she looks like a tavern wench who can serve up the ale and take care of herself in a brawl. It's different, because games either make strong female races like this go full-on hulking Amazon woman, or they're races far removed from humans, like orcs, dwarves, etc. Loving the Female Highlander! She's strong and sexy!

Like Linkurrra said, it's nice to see some women with meat on their bones. I'm not a skinny little thing IRL, myself. I'm a medium-built woman with German ancestry. These two new female races sort of became my new heroes. <3

IKR? He's got that look like, "Really? ... Really?!? Again???"

mmm I can't wait for the beta of it hoping I can be able to do the beta for ps3 as well especially since i'm getting a new one.. but hair it's gotta be the hair(meaning I'm glad there's more customization for the hair instead of like 10 different styles and 20 or so different colors) Is it time for beta yet?
