I know this haven't got much to do with the ingame stuff..

But I think they should make some 3D renderings of the Gods, cause the NPC's talk about them alot, but you never really know how the Gods look, it would be nice to know what they looked like, and not only guessing it from those wrecked statues around in Tyria..

Just a thought..

Sorry that it has nothing to do with the ingame, didn't know where else to post this..

There are 3-d images of Grenth and Balthazar as they allow you entrance into UW/FoW. The statue of Melandru is basically what she looks like as described in the GW book, and Dwayna shows her form in the same way as Grenth/Balth. Lyssa would be the only god without a specific form, and I don't think she's just a purple disk with a face. :rofl:

What I would like, to be precise, is 3D renderings like those of the six profession on Guildwars.com with mhenlo, cynn and the others, something like that..

These are not actually Balthazar or Grenth. All of these are avatars. Read the names: Voice of Grenth, Champion of Balthazar, Lyssa's Muse, Avatar of Dwayna, Melandru's Protector. The statues are a 3D picture of what the gods look like, or at least what the worshippers of Tyria think they look like.

Exactly. That's probably the best anyone will ever get.

If you check around ruined ascalon you can find paintings of most of them.

Ranger Symphy · Aug 05, 2005, 08:05 AM // 08:05

yeah, you're probably right..

but it would be nice with some renderings of them though..

Well, from something of a role-play aspect, I think we don't see any images of the gods because noone has ever really seen the gods. Maybe King Doric, although it doesn't specifically say if he actually saw them, only that he gained an audience with them. As for what Dargon said about the paintings, are you thinking of those pictures of the serpents, or something else?

If you look around, there will be a painting of each god. I believe they were posted in the screenshot section. They're nice pictures, too.

Correct. Except for Avatar of Dwayna. That must be just a projection of herself that she wishes seen. Thus, an avatar of her. She gives a quest in the Sanitarium, and if I remember correctly, she doesn't refer to you as doing Dwayna's work, but doing her own work.

As I said in the first post, this hasn't got much to do with ingame stuff, I just want to suggest the makers of the 3D renderings like this one:

,
to make a rendering of each of the gods..

Since they've made those paitings in old ascalon, and the statues around in tyria, they must have had some thoughts about how these gods would look like..

It's just to get a more precise look, than the statues give you..
