Do you think vampires aren't majestic either? It seems you don't like this faction ;). The sphinxes really turned out majestic. And the others, in my opinion, are very interesting. And what is a Lamassu – some kind of mythical creature? What is that bull with a human head? And I think sphinxes don't suit mages. Especially instead of rakshasas. Necropolis should have been in an Egyptian style, so sphinxes are perfect here. And mages are more like Arabs. Although, according to the plot, one comes from the other :). Hopefully, the game will be released at least in the spring. Otherwise, they might postpone it :(.

Is Lamassu also some kind of mythical creature?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamassu
Necropolis should have been in an Egyptian style, so sphinxes fit perfectly here.
However, so far, there are only two clear indications of an Egyptian style, if I haven't forgotten anything: a castle in the shape of a pyramid and a "sphinx," which, as it turns out, is not a sphinx but a Lamassu.
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

However, as far as I can tell, there are only two clear indications of an Egyptian style: the pyramid-shaped Castle and the "sphinx," which, as it turns out, is not a sphinx but a Lamassu.
And yet, the developers promise a Necropolis in an Egyptian style. The pyramid-shaped Castle and a ghoul fit this description quite well. The only thing missing is mummies. Perhaps they should have used mummies instead of liches?

Thank you for the information. But I think the developers simply overdid it with the name; in the game, it's a sphinx, which is quite appropriate for the Egyptian style.

Ghoul is a European fantasy creature!
Пара банок пива, снаряд дешевого пойла
Ракета прущего дыма и море свободы
Серьезные помыслы, прущие скорости, мама с вопросами:
- Куда ты дел совесть? Стань взрослым.
Я в ответ молчал виновато
- Посмотри на брата, разве трудно быть нормальным?
Им не понять меня, не поменять меня
Хотели поломать меня - им не поймать меня
В чем моя вина?
Думал бежать отсюда, хлопал дверями злобно -
Обида-паскуда
Мама била посуду и тихо плакала
Молилась за меня Богу - свечи ставила

I just hope the game comes out in the spring. Otherwise, they might postpone it :(.
Please tell me, what is their majesty? Look at the 4 vampires; you can see it there, and here you can see pride. I didn't say that I dislike the race; yes, I didn't like it in 5, but in 6, I want to play as everyone, especially the new Necropolis (it seems that Ubisoft immediately wanted to make Haven closer to Elrath, and Necropolis in Egyptian style, in general, I like it.).
Well, judging by mythology, Lamassu is a bull with a human head, and it cannot look like a sphinx. I only see a city-pyramid in Egyptian style, and Lamassu, and Ghoul is an Arab ghoul;)

A ghoul is quite suitable for this definition :). The only thing missing is mummies. Maybe they should have replaced liches with them?
But I think that the developers just overdid it with the name; the art is clearly a sphinx, which is quite appropriate for the Egyptian style :).
A ghoul is an Arab ghoul, so nothing connects it to Egypt. And mummies could have been introduced...
They really overdid it; they couldn't just call it a sphinx

Indeed, they overdid it; they couldn't just call it a sphinx.

The link certainly proved that a Lamassu is not a sphinx. But in "six," the sphinx is a Lamassu. And we'll have to accept that, especially since I like the name :).

And who was trying to prove to me that a ghoul is an Egyptian "creature"? Then, instead of them, it's better to have mummies! They will look good in the main lineup. And in general, the whole world is a small village :D. So, Egyptians and Arabs live next door :).

I was talking about the vampires in six. In my opinion, they are also majestic here.

Okay, about the sphinx. As they say,

The developers clearly aren't using their brains correctly. Maybe in the Russian translation, we'll see a Sphinx.
I don't know, but they are definitely less majestic compared to the ones in the fourth game.)

No, it's a great race. I apologize, I meant **faction**. Ghouls look much better than tormentors; they fit the race, and I like them. Vampires look very similar to the ones from the fifth game, but they turned out well. Skeletons also look good, but the second spear is clearly an extra limb. I also liked the ghosts; as I wrote, they just exude an otherworldly chill. Liches... well, they're not that great :rolleyes:. But the sphinx turned out excellent. As for the translation, "Lamassu" could be called "sausage" :D. Or "Aschi cats" :D. Or simply: "Sphinxomassau." How about that?

The second spear isn't an extra limb; skeletons really do throw both spears, and it seems to work like a "double shot" ability for them. It's easy to justify this logically: among skeletons, there's no distinction between left-handed and right-handed individuals, and they don't care which hand they use to perform certain actions. So, why not throw two spears at once?
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

Come on, who argued that the race didn't turn out great?! I didn't say that they don't fit the race (you need to read more carefully); I like the ghouls and Lamassu the most so far. Well, the developers decided not to deviate too far from the vampires in the fifth game, although there are many differences. What does the fifth limb have to do with it? The skeletons throw spears in turn (I saw it myself...). The ghosts, like in the fifth game, possess enemies and are also incorporeal; even arrows fly right through them. Liches are more or less okay; they'll do (but they float above the ground, which is a bit much...). Sphinx? Yes, Lamassu is cool, a tank with plague infection, like a zombie in the fifth game. Well, the quality of the translation will depend on what the localizers are smoking :D

No, it turned out to be a great faction.
And the moral of the story is: the consumer can fantasize and get excited as much as they want, but they will still greedily devour everything that the masters throw down from their table.

Especially for you, korrag, I added liches and vampires to the "Necropolis Information," although everyone has already seen them.

Liches really seem to float above the ground for some reason, and the model surprisingly resembles ghosts :rolleyes:. Are you sure they're alive? The vampires are really good, only the improved helmet is terrible :(.

And you can ask what the localizers will be smoking from the mages :D.

Oh-oh-oh. Do you have something against "5"?
They would give you a failing grade for this in a school essay. Or whatever you call it. A "4"? You get the idea.

Many thanks to him and a sincere symbolic plus to his morale for posting them. You see, it means that not "everyone" has seen them yet. Are you blaming me for not monitoring some gaming websites, clicking F5 every couple of minutes, or not hanging out on ten forums? Lol.
Avoid being categorical and extreme.
Archie criticized me here, saying that I might pick on someone in this section, mock them, or troll them, and that this is very bad and "not very paladin-like"; he says, "teach them about life and advise them on how to do better." I don't agree with this, firstly because they won't understand, secondly because they won't appreciate it, and thirdly because it's too self-important. But today, I'm going to try it. Of course, I don't expect success, let's see what happens. These lines are addressed to you, Winner. So you don't think this is empty and useless chatter.
