Rahab redesign needs more work.
Dude looks like he came straight out of Gremlins. The original was very sinister, mostly teeth and very shark-like. The rework looks... goofy...

This really is just awful by comparison:

I Agree.

Haha, this actually gives me hope.

When I saw the water glyph statue being butchered so bad, I assumed it was just more political nonsense where they aren't allowed to show feminine features without some sabotage.

But Rahab isn't and can't be made political, Rahab is just a fish.
Them butchering Rahab this hard brings me hope that some of these new models just innocently suck and it's not intentional.

I actually really like that Rahab is also terribly remade, at least the Raziel and Kain models are pretty stellar. Melchiah is also looking amazing, so there is a nice balance of things that suck made up for by great improvements.

I feel like a lot of these textures look.... too CLEAN. I mean the Nosgoth setting is supposed to be dark and dystopian, this is looking a little too bright.

It's funny that nu-Rahab is the only thing with any bit of grime at all. This annoys me because Rahab was originally one of the slickest things in Nosgoth, with looking like a sleek shark. It hurts to see Rahab. SR1 especially should not look so clean since it's set thick inside Kain's brutal, decrepit and occasionally industrial wasteland.

I really don't mind the 'clean' design so much as the entire color pallet being so bright. Really lacks the oppressive atmosphere from the original. I'm hoping for a setting of mods that can fix that.

That's not just goofy-looking (imo), that's straight up an earlier design. It looks like they based the new model off his design in the prerelease builds and not the final game. Wonder what's up with that.

While I have mixed feelings with some of the character models (Raziel and Kain look great), I think the real issue is the lighting. The dynamic shadows are nice and the new day/night cycle will accentuate that. However, most areas in the game just look far too bright and having better lighting would at least mask the models a bit to look less plain.

Dafuq did they do to my fish boy?

Not much of an issue, we will still feast on his soul, no matter how he looks ;)

give him red eyes and that's it ?

Old model looks menacing and dark. New model looks so damn goofy.
Why the hell would they change his eye color? Also, why make his nose so round?

This is really bad.

We have images of Melchiah and Zephon that honestly look really good. But due to the way Rahab looks, I'm especially worried about Dumah and Morlock who we haven't seen yet.

The developers must have fed them after midnight.

if they changed his eyes to red and gave him some saber tooth fangs like original it'd be a lot better
