Graphics and Designs:(AION-1)

Aion’s graphics are stunning, and since they’re based on Lineage 2’s graphics it has certain realism to it. For those of you who had played Lineage 2 previously you would recognize a lot of similarity between the two games. The two factions Elyos and Asmodians remind me of the Elf and the Dark Elf race in Lineage 2, and in fact any mmorpg game that featured those two races.

Character Comparison

I was a fan of Lineage 2, and one of the reasons why I loved the game is because of the designs. Everything from the character design to the armour and weapon were fantastic, and that is why I didn’t like Worlds of Warcraft, it was too cartoonish for me. The designs is where NCSoft shines, the art work, special effect, and the character movements and everything down to the details are like no other mmorpg I’ve played. If anyone has played Lineage 2 before since beta, would agree with me, as the release of every expansion Chronicle 2, C3 … C5, the armour and weapon designs have been incredibly amazing! Aion is following the path of Lineage 2, and has outstanding designs for armours, weapons, and characters, but the coolest part of Aion is its combat animations and special effects. I can’t even find words to describe it, the combo’s and the skill special effects are amazing!
Character Creation:

I know I make comparisons between Lineage 2 and Aion a lot, well it is no surprise of course after all both games are made by NCSoft. So once you get past the login screen and legal stuff, which surprise, surprise it looks just like the Lineage 2 login, you can now start choosing your faction and create your character.

Answer this, have you ever gotten on google and looked through a bunch of armour images to see how your character would look in them and then decided which race or gender you would pick? I know I’m guilty of that! Now you don’t have to, Aion has a cool new feature which displays all the character class by gender and in ARMOUR, so you know exactly how they would look like in armours.

Ok, so you picked your class, now to make your character pretty :) and that isn’t even a joke. With the Aion’s character design system you can literally tweak almost every little detail, from the standard hair styles, to eye shade, and lip colours. Want a really ugly character, or eyes that almost cover half of your face? No problem, with Aion it is possible. My personal favourite part of the character design is the ability to resize your character. You can be a 1 ft tall midget or a 9 ft tall giant; I chose to be a midget since it is so cool to run around with your character being only 1/4th of everyone else’s body size! If anyone wants to join the group just send me a PM (private message) in game to Stabbiee. One last thing while you creating your character, once again you have the option to preview your character in 3 options, no armour, regular armour, and high grade armour!!
