Nika, as one of the cover girl for guildwar faction looks pretty bad in game. Of course I don't expect anything like the cienmatic, but she looks relatively poorly modeled compared to chapter one's heros.
I wonder if that was just a placeholder graphic or does Anet plan to leave it that way...

On a side note, of all the professions, how come assassin don't have black hair.

i doubt thats nika, the girl on the box is supposed to the be on that helped kill Shiro Whatever 200 years ago, Nika is probably her great great great great grandaugther.

i dont remember... i probably didnt notice, and i think ill go check one of these days. that picture is beautiful.......

*squints* I can't see Visu in that image, it's too small >_>

I wouldn't be surprised if ArenaNet ended up changing the character model (but not before the release)...remember the recent update to Eve, Mhenlo and Cynn? The necromancer (not necessarily Eve) from the CE box was a bit off compared to Eve. Both look quite similar now.

Snowman · Mar 31, 2006, 09:47 AM // 09:47

Is there really any neeeed for the size of those bobby knockers?

and the way she stands there obviously sticking them out as far as possible knowing full well that the majority of her audience are blokes..

"oh yes, Ive just disarmed Shiro... I think I'll er... I know, STRIKE A POSE!"

sorry ANET, thats just a bit cheesy.

Rex the Unloving · Mar 31, 2006, 09:55 AM // 09:55

Yup, for a long time i could not understand why why Eve in warcamp appeared so much unattractive compared to the her sexy pose on the wall papers and game box.

Too bad she doesn't look like this:

I think Nika looks better in that cinematic, especially the hair.

I will give it a sort of thumbnail sketch:

200 years ago, while at prayer within a Canthan temple, the Emperor of Cantha was slain by an evil traitor named Shiro Tagachi, who had been friend and chief bodyguard to the Emperor. Mass confusion ensues, several die in the effort to kill Shiro and the infidel troops who have gathered to prevent the taking of vengeance. Three ritualists are slain, the fourth escapes to the rooftops and sounds the alarm. (Some feel that she did this knowing she would die, making the ultimate sacrifice.) Comes the Assassin, Visu, ancestor to Nika, the "current day" Assassin whom you see on the Factions art. Visu summons the strength and cunning to slay Shiro. As Shiro's soul escapes from his body, he lets forth a death wail of such force that the seas are frozen to jade and the forest is petrified to stone. And at the end, we are told that "evil returns" and a cryptic symbol appears.

Methinks we've not heard the last of this Shiro guy.

A small warning, this has spoilers of the FPE missions, if you don't want to know then please do not read.

Also if you did the missions during FPE they were pretty much the same thing as the cinematic. Atleast that is what it appears to be to me. You see Shiro and the Emperor entering the temple, his face cut up and what not.

At first I thought this was a part of the missions but the more I think about it the more I think it was a teaser mission cinematic that just showed a little of the history. Who knows though, I may be wrong.

Bahumhat · Apr 01, 2006, 01:48 AM // 01:48

I was begining to wonder, "How did she survive that explosion in the cinematic"?

lyra_song · Apr 01, 2006, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Anyone notice that Shiro was using the same type of sword as the ghostly hero would (or did...)?
