We have to get this out of the way first. Open recommendation to NCSoft graphic artists: stop watching so much porn. We’re not sure where the models for the player characters live, but we suspect it's the same town that produced Jenna Jameson. Don’t get us wrong, the art is very good and we are impressed by the detail. The background scenery and creature models are particularly vivid and engaging. But the limited choices for character body type and skimpy starting wardrobes does result in a world that might be described as Boris Vallejo’s version of the movie Lifeforce. The weird, spazzy running style exhibited by the elves (an arms back, waist bent, butt-towards-camera sprint like a fantasy hominid torpedo) is just one of the design choices that remains an endearing mystery.
