Telltale Games

Is it just me, or all of the new character model were not reused?
I think there are 5 new human character models, right? And all of them are fresh new!
If so, awesome job Telltale!
One of your greatest weakpoints was reusing character models...

It really gives the final touch, not reusing stuff.

Well, Telltale certainly did their job well for this thread to exist. =]

Just for the record, I believe all 3 of the crew members were 're-used character models'.

Just Guybrush, Fatso and Skinny.
But it's reeeally really hard to tell. Really good job, guys. They seem to be quite unique in looks.
I thought we might see a "LeChuck" clone, but I guess I was wrong.

Yes, I think that they re-used bits and pieces but it didn't bother me in the slightest this time around. Not only were the characters well-fleshed out and voiced, but they had the look to go with it and that made all the difference.

They did a very very good job in this episode, hope they keep this up.

I have to say, this was one of my biggest problems with Ep 1+2. This is much better though, I'm really happy to see it's cleared up. Note that now the vioce quality and model reuse are improved, we're no longer seeing giant threads on page 1 of the forums complaining about things. Just a few small things that are more a matter of personal opinion, and don't have many people upset.

Why is eveyone making such a big deal about character models? As long as the personalities and voices are different then that's all that matters. In real life, there are a lot of people who have similar features and body styles.

I'd rather TellTale spend their time on unique environment design then working on trying to make different character models.

I think its distracting I.E. when Winslow and Nipperkin are right next to each other... They looked way too much alike to have been on the same screen...

With each episode they have gotten better at making the models look different....

Yeah I thought the character models looked much better this time... hair styles, tattoos and general accessories make all the difference

Decava=Guybrush.

However, they kinda show you that on purpose when they first meet and do the same movement.
