gamehuntera, well, you don't care how they look from a canonical point of view; I do. By the way, I also like them aesthetically much more than in 3 or 4. And they die very beautifully in 5.
But I don't like them. No, if you look at the composition as a whole, it's still tolerable. But when you see, say, a sword. A sword! But what kind of sword is that! It's a ritual staff, darn it. To bless water.
Or the hood, the facial features. Anime has no place in Heroes : (
The only good thing is that the textures are pretty good. But the style just doesn't work.
