Since I posted on the first article about the New playable Freeblood race, I figured I better do it here too.
These new pics of the Freeblood are much MUCH better. I am shocked at how with the size and the long time success or a company such as SOE, a mistake like accidentally posting the wrong pics of the new race could have ever happened at all.
But whatever the case these new ones are now something to look forward to.
New Freeblood Vampire Pictures!
New information includes special Freeblood racial trait.
Today SOE released more information on the Freeblood vampires. If you were following the news yesterday you know that some early pictures of the new playable race were unintentionally released. The art department was right on it, and this evening some very impressive pictures were posted on EQII Players. Dave "Covic" Brown II, EQII Lead Character Artis, posted: "These are the first models that use normal maps instead of bump maps, the models are higher poly count then other character models but still within reason. The most time consuming task is getting outfits to fit on the new geo and the facial custom bone skinnning. But its all be worth the extra effort."
The new race has a Racial Trait called "Reveal Inner Self" which lets the character change from attractive to demonic in appearance. It also uses a new hand-to-hand combat animation set, and will include a special “invisible” appearance weapon that lets the character use these combat animations, even if they’re wielding a sword and shield.
