Paint your mental picture for me Eclipse.. so that I may see.

Actually, I am curious about this too

[TheDrunkenDwarf]

This is actually an area that I am interested in. Will the 4 heavy fighter classes have distinctive looks, or will they all look alike?

I hope that there are subtle stylistic differences that make each class stand out from the others. I will be a happy camper if a Warrior, Inquisitor, Paladin, and Dread Knight are able to stand side-by-side and the average person will be able to identify which class each of them represents.

I definitely don't want all Warriors to look alike, all Inquisitors to be carbon copies, etc... but it would be great if there was a certain visual "feel" to each class.

Ok, I'm on a mission...I will find you a decent picture(s) to go off of.

I agree. Hopefully the character customization allows for a great amount of diversity. For some reason, I'm picturing my future char to be somewhat pale and gaunt; what I'll do if he can't be I simply don't know.

Finding a pic that I agreed with was a lot more difficult than I thought.

I'll try to explain what I'm thinking...

I'll explain in battle and out of battle.

Out of battle...tall, lean, gaunt. Always in long robes usually worn by priests or mages. Gilded with whatever colors their church used. Light colors for good, dark reds for bad.

In battle...Grey Knight. Fully armored, just like any other warrior, except they wear long, flowing, grey robes overtop. They have the hood ( @ TDD) and generally like to hide their face. When people face an Inquisitor, the eyes will likely be the only feature they remember. In my mind, they would fight with poleaxes (halberds) or a long, light sword and shield. They would always be adorned with talismans and idols...cuz they're always on the lookout for the next demon they need to protect themselves from. You might see Inquisitors carrying around biological weapons as well as conventional ones. They need to torture someone at any time, can't be bothered to always bring them back to the dungeon.

They believe themselves to be higher than everyone, because they more than have faith, they more than worship...they feel they are worshipped. Not next to their God, but as his hunters. Not all Inquisitors will even believe in their God, but they believe in the Inquisition's purpose nonetheless. The heretic's grim reaper.

Personally I think of the Whitecloaks from the Wheel of Time series.

Pretty much what you would expect a Paladin to look like, but with an Inquisitor, the end justifies the means. Not sure how that would be separated from the Paladin look though.

[Eclipse]

I agree, but in my opinion...the average whitecloak was the Paladin...the guys with the crooks and staffs crossed over the sun were referred to as interrogators...THAT is exactly how I view an Inquisitor. The guys who point the zealots (pallys) in the direction to slaughter.
That book was great at giving a new perspective of the holiness of the crusader, etc.
But when I think of an Inquisitor finally deciding it's time to join in the battle instead of just moving the pieces on the chessboard, then refer to my large paragraph.

ya see... going and finding a pic negates the purpose of me asking.... = P But since you couldn't find one I can play. = )

Certainly I see an Inquisitor in more in the line of finding and eliminating heracy. They would have to be devout to the point of zealocy and would likely see any affront to their god - real or imagined - as just cause for your death.

While I see where you're coming from with the "The guys who point the zealots (pallys) in the direction to slaughter" aspect, I see them as a commander who is willing to get his hands dirty lopping the heads off a few heretics himself. I also see them in the role of "the dirty tricks brigade", as likely to employ daggers in dark alleys as battlefield combat.

They would be good or evil depending on their god, but their tactics would largely be the same.

Eclipse...you had to think about what an inquisitor looks like? I've had a picture of the Dread Knight in my skull since the day I heard they were getting implemented............ you slacker. :wink:
