:lol at that Minotaur.
 
Lol, that's one of the worst modeled creatures I've ever seen in a game. Looks hideous.

Hopefully they're animated well.
 
Why do minotaurs always have good abs in games? I guess they must get up and do sit-ups every morning before feeding on human flesh and guarding their respective labrynths.
 
I'm far from a modeling expert, but I think it looks cool. Is it technically flawed? What don't you like about it?

Probably because it's not pink or purple wtih some Japanese Anime influence.

I personally hate it due to the lack of overly-expressive, three foot diameter eyes.

:lol Come on, man. It looks like an ape with a bull mask on. And what's with the lack of fur?
 
The graphics are gorgeous, just like this Cathedral's architecture. But that monster design is just butt-ugly. I don't know if that's the right word for it, but that Minotaur looks clumsy.
 
It's not even coming out for current "128-bit" consoles.

Bethesda generally has nice concept art and in-game architecture, just with awful character models/character textures. Oh well. Probably won't change.

ROLFMAO! Indeed if there ever was a anime hater, chibi hater. etc. Owned you are.

Anyhow, first the lizard now minotaur. Cant say I'm much interested in this game anymore. Its got major EQ2 crappiness all over it. I fear alot these next gen games are going to look like this.
 
Oh my god.....that minotaur looks terrible. :lol

I don't think I've laughed this hard since the Jade Empire box art:

"I'm sorry Max, but Bethesda's modelers just suck!"
 
The model just looks too disproportionate.

The legs and head are too big, and the upper body (from a color and proportion perspective) doesn't look fitting at all with that of a minotaur. Looks more like a giant bodybuilder with a minotaur head strapped on.

Otherwise, the game keeps looking very nice.
 
Minotaur is supposed to have a bull's head and a man's body.

This looks like a gorilla in a novelty Halloween mask. A gorilla with gigantic thighs.
 
the minotaur looks really, really ugly (the guy who is doing the modelling and texturing should be fired).

Ram, imo a Minotaur is supposed to have a cowface...If you google after ancient minotaur drawings you'll find pictures almost similar to the Morrowind model.
 
Looks nice.I'm just hoping it isn't a bug-ridden mess when it comes out and that the Xenon version has Live support so people on the console side don't get shafted on patches/fixes, because you just know this game will be broken when its released since its Bethesda.

youre right, but this is not mythology - it is fantasy and a minotaur should be looking angry and evil. not just like a stupid cow head on a human body.
 
" it is fantasy and a minotaur should be looking angry and evil. not just like a stupid cow head on a human body."

If it's fantasy then it should be whatever the hell the designers want it to be.
 
I know :(



But as long as games like Half-Life2 and WoW keep coming out which looks miles and miles better than any other game without using normal mapping and selling by the shitloads, I'll be one happy camper :)

Normal mapping is the worst thing ever invented for gaming. Give me clean sharp textures onto a nicely modeled (and rich polycount wise) model anyday. Bump mapping is good, when used in the right way. Excessive bump mapping (like normal mapping) makes baby Jezus cry
