I simply thought it would be interesting to take a look at what the overall differences are, what looks better vs. what looks worse, exactly how different these models are from the benchmark ones, etc. While there are things I like better about these previews, there are other things I don't (the texture on the Hrothgar's face looks particularly rough). Not trying to advocate for carbon copies of these models, just wanted to compare and see what people thought.
I apologize if my comment came out a little too straight forward.
What I wanted to bring forth was that a lot of people take whatever they see/read as granted and anything but is wrong.
It's great to look at new stuff and get excited and look forward for it. But some need to remember to keep that anticipation on a leesh until they can get first hand look on things so they won't get too carried away and then lash out when things isn't as they was "promised".

Personally I like the Benchmark versions more than these images.
These images looks like 3d models made in Blender and not game characters.
(I think it is Blender. Never used it but iirc it's a known 3d modeling tool.)
