But fluff wise they're not supposed to have crazy, extravagant armor doodads, play a Templar if you want to be all shiny and such.

I think people should re-evaluate HGL once 1.0 comes out. Even on the Test Center it's quite impressive, Stonehenge is beautiful and very different from the normal game. I can only imagine it'll get better once the bugs get ironed out and it's put on the normal play servers.

Just checked out Stonehenge and WOW that is gorgeous! I might consider Hellgate for that...

sorry i didnt read that entire thread, there was alot there and im tired! But my 2 cents is im now playing HGL in place of GWs and loving it. Its a fresh change from the fantasy thing and being able to use a gun while casting just rocks.

The two games are very similar, but also very different. The random instances being the main one. But HGL has alot of changes to come including an auction house and its bound to change ALOT in the next year.

It may even come to be a true contender to GWs in terms of content and playability.

Its got me distracted anyway as im a lvl25 engineer at the minute and about 3/4s the way through the game. If anyone sees me pottering about say hi.

But funnily enough it suffers one major issue that GWs does to. The textures on other players armor looks awfull inside towns, but looks nice in instances. Which is a shame because HGL has a good graphics engine. It may be very repetative, but I play it for the mindless chill out factor.

Its a nice mix of FPS and RPG and I enjoy it. If you play HGL expecting wonderfull storyline and lure, u will be disapointed though.
