The character design for The Order: 1886 is so good.

I'm just marveling a bit at the characters. I mean, yeah, protagonst is a white guy in his 30s... but he's such a baller looking white guy in his 30s.

And then the other three:

It's just great, naturalistic character design with really cool, regal uniforms.

Looking at these characters I couldn't tell you a damn thing about them. Nothing about their design communicates their personality, background, profession, nothing. This is an example of really poor character design.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Really? All the males look the same to me. At least let one be clean shaven :/

What, the chainmail and colors don't give a regal vibe to you? Almost knightly?

I suppose a post paying lip service to reductive, racist criticism of characters designs would have a vapid, superficial sensibility about designs in general.

I like the design.

The character design might be nice, but the game itself...no thank you.

I would wait til the game releases before making claims like this. We haven't seen much of the game, and things can change. No reason to be judging games that haven't released yet, for all we know, the game might be pretty great.

Yeah totally unrealistic, I wear around my full work uniform all the time and also wear funny hats to indicate my humorous personality while wearing a pin that says I heart New York to indicate my background.

Everyone needs to grow a beard. It's the next step in character design.

I want Nathan Drake with a beard, dammit. Mario, Master Chief, everyone.

Every character with an already existing beard should also be designed without one.

Scarf Era is over. Beard era starts now.

That's "Dr." dofry to you.
Seems like a regular Order thread. OP wants discussion on the cool character designs, reading impaired individuals enter with concern/worry about gameplay. Sigh.

And yes the moustaches and beards look great. Movember the game.

The post is about character design. Character design is meant to tell you something about the character.
 
It's a NeoGAF thread about The Order. It's only going down one way.

Yep, I think the game looks like dogshit from what has been shown so far, but it's getting pretty annoying to see every Last of Us/The Order/David Cage thread turning into shit posting about them being movies/having no gameplay.
 
Yup the art in the game is fantastic.

the setting, lore, weapons, art, etc. are all top notch stuff. It has all the makings of being a quality experience. We'll see how it all turns out in the end

The vitriol is real.

Or it's character design that's intended only to work in tandem with the story being told, rather than trying to communicate obvious traits before a word's been uttered.
 
they look really cool, I'll probably pick this game up since I really like the style of game they are creating and the idea of the world. I also really like third person shooters so even if the first try is a little disappointing I'd like to try to give a new IP another chance.

Eh, it looks okay.

No. Looks amazing.

Yhea, sure sure

If you've never played Assassin's Creed then yeah, it looks amazing.

AC characters are awesome, that one from The Orders far superior.
