    That's probably a reason but I'm not sure that's the only one..

    They mentioned wild boars were on their list already ;) They should be cool because they can have a charge attack and be a potential source of ivory.

    Oh by the way it would be really nice to be able to have the skulls shown in these costumes as decoration. So, for instance, instead of a turning a wolf, bear, stag, dragon, troll head into a mounted trophy, you could reduce it to a skull. These could possibly then be used in other recipes, but having them as skulls rather than as mounted trophies would be a nice decorative artifact for museums, or even for player-created quests and other scenarios.

    Cool art direction for the Norgard and Verdantis barbarians. I really like it. Good work.

    I just want to elaborate my point of view a little bit.

    First, I know that real cannibalist were not wearing armors with lots of bones or something alike. In fact, they were not wearing many things :oops:.

    But here we have canibalist barbarians, living in Norgard. To me, the problem is that the canibalists just look like normal men and women where they should look like beasts. I don't feel like there is a wild presence enough.

    I would have imagined those canibalists extreme warriors with something like the bone armor (maybe with some blood paintings on it). Mostly, something with a convenient protection which is hiding the human face :

    Of course, the bone armor is maybe a bit too much. And the clans need to be visually identified. But you could imagine something like this :

    ...or this :

    The first and the third here :

    Or :

    Now, with an appropriate bone helm, you can also imagine something really creepy, like this, with bone ornaments :

    [​IMG]

    And here is an easter egg :

    That said, good job with what has been done. I love the dragon clan armor.

    Studying the outfits I can draw the conclusion that norgard is not a wintery/cold place.
