The Eel : Othor Games

Na archetypes are more based on the clothes. You can have a black Anger archetype or a white Warrior archetype

The archetypes carry over from side to side. The archetype is how your character looks without gear on.

You can change the race of archetype. An archetype is a general look, a clothing style. So you could have the Anger's mask with the Sweat's pants.

Pun intended.

The eel makes absolutely no sense. What's the functionality behind that mask? It still looks kind of cool, but that doesn't help overshadow the strangeness.

The oddness is probably for a sort of intimidation.

http://www.brinkthegame.com/features/customization/

u can find The Eel or everys archetype in there

You actually cannot find the Eel in that list. Anything that has not been revealed in the archetypes page is not present in the customization page.

They just had 10 archetypes for each faction, while there's 12 for each. So 2 hidden on each side.

8 Resistance Archetypes.
7 Security Archetypes.

You played Brink? 0_0

He is the Community Manager for Bethesda, after all... <_<

Ooh. I like that. Secrets makes me want to play it more!

Is it just me or does his top + hood remind anyone else of Altair?

Win sir. Win ^_^

Well, technically every kind of fantasy style assassin/ninja has this kind of hood.

Based on the vids, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWOJE2_Mz7k&feature=related in particular, you can see that the archetype, while including a basic clothing look in many cases, is directly attached to the base face and skin color as well.

Huh. Didn't think about that. Then again, I'm not an Assassins' Creed fan (that's the reference you were referring to or am I wrong?)
Actually, he reminds me more of those coolie-looking snipers from Killzone 2 with a mix of Splinter Cell, but that could be just me.

And, for that guy who asked what is the purpose of the mask, may I ask what is the purpose of the Wasted's trash shoulder pads or half of the masks of most of the other guys (on both sides), lol?

He may just be hideously deformed, and needs the mask to look like that to accommodate his third eye

Helgast snipers from KZ2/3 have a hood with a third eye and IMO is the closest thing to resemble the EEL. There was another mask I saw that looked like a Tuscan Raider from SW. Turtle for anyone who can find that guy.

Well, the Eel is Security(sadly) and the Anger is Resistance so the comparison is irrelevant. Unless you were just stating in general ^_^

Yeah in General. The Anger was my favorite out of both factions but The Eel looks pretty hardcoe. =P

I think you guys are missing one point here.... Why does the mask have eyepieces on his mouth!

Is that not normal?

Well the shoulder pads are cheap armor, and I think the point is that many of the helmets and face gear pieces make sense as helmets and coverings (even including the masks that have eyes where eyes should be), but the added blue "eyes" is odd, particularly when you consider the fact that this part of the uniform for a guy working security on a floating eden.

Lol, that's true. And some of the masks could be gas masks or something. But then, why doesn't everybody have them? OMG, LOGIC, it HURTS! :teehee:

Wonder what section of the Ark the Eel works in? The Aquarium, lol? (So would I have to unlock his archetype after finishing the Aquarium map? If so, that's the first place I'm going to,
story-order be darned, lol!)

Yes, the multiple eyes (especially over the mouth---unless that's oxygen or that's how he gets some water rations or something, lol!) *gasp* He's a fish-mutant guy!

Awwwww, but it's okay, Eel, I loves you! :hugs: *coos as if to a dog/puppy* Who's a good little mutant boy? You are, yes you are!

Oh, forgot to include a pic of a http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100514232210/killzone/images/7/77/SniperKZ2.jpg and some of those http://images.wikia.com/killzone/images/7/73/Helghast.jpg from Killzone 2 to show what I mean by why I think Eel looks a little familiar to those. That's so weird and cool and iconic (and kind of cute for me) in a strange way.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 2:01 am

I like it! This and "The Look" are my favorites.
As for the weirdness, I like it as well... I'm weird myself, so...

anyway
Everything about "The Eel" adds to the coolness(?), coolnisity(?)... awesomeness(that's the word)!

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:29 am

No fair comparing a bunch of guys working as security on a science resort island to evil freaks taking over the world

I would think the Eel might freak out the civilians on the Ark just a bit.

Thank god for google images.

Yes...but who is he really? On an emotional and personal level. Personally I see a burdened family man bent to make it for his children as he struggles with the will and dilemmas of an ever changing industrial world he tries so hard to fit into yet regretfully urns for closure in his own personal life with his father.

What makes you think they're eyepieces?

Have you considered the fact that that's an early build of the character creation? ^_^
I don't pay attention to anything from the early build of video games because they always end up changing more than you would expect later on in development

Same here. I've basically rejected anything over six months old as obsolete data..
