True, but I'm not sure the terrible 3D character modelling (as we can see in these screenshots) is something to look forward to. The bodies remind me of the awful crew models in Silent Hunter III. This is 2007, not 1997 - I think character models should at least look somewhat human.
The screenshots are so blurry it's hard to see much of anything. That is, not much detail is revealed and I think seeing static models is not very revealing anyway. I'd much, much rather see them in motion.

The problem isn't the models, its the pictures. Those are some crappy screenshots You can go to the website and get a closer
look at them. You can barely see the skin definition in those shots. Let alone features like your nose.
OK they have put up the nice screenies, disregard my last post. : )

Those commenting on the bad quality of the characters should note that Flying Lab has already addressed it, saying that as the graphics of the other sections of the game enhanced, the people looked farther and farther from the rest of it, and now their working to update them to the quality the rest of it has.
Its a developers log from the FLS team where he discusses the avatar models and how they have improved since many of the screenshots you see in the PotBS gallery were taken.

It has that.. you know, "Something Different" in it.
No more elves, dwarves, orcs, trolls.. etc

I am curious about the game, especially how the character fighting will turn out, but it seems the graphics are really not up to date.
For those who are upset about the way these avatars look, heres a good read for you!
