Which is your favorite skin?

Okay, here's a question that is totally superficial in nature... so all of you Toreador should do great at this.

What is your favorite skin in the game? I'm not just talking about how pretty it is; I mean which skin impresses you as being the most lifelike, most striking, most creative artwork, whatever. This is not necessarily the same as your favorite NPC.

I'm not sure yet what my answer will be. One of my favorite characters is Jack, but he's not my favorite skin, because his beard doesn't move as he talks (anyone else noticed this?). Another character I like, Fat Larry is beautifully done, with his mouth and hands perfectly synched to his voice... but the skin color on his neck is slightly different than the skin on his chest, which ruins the lifelike effect. I'm going to review some of my saved games, so that I can try to answer this one myself.

I think my favorite skin is Damsel. The anger on her face, the way her words fit her hand gestures (when she asks if 'LaCroix can stop counting his money long enough to get your back', she rubs her fingers together in that little 'counting money' gesture) -- everything about her is fun to watch. If i didn't have to worry about getting my ass kicked, I'd push her buttons, just to set her off. She's a cute little firebrand.

The only other skin that shows that much animation is Fat Larry, and I've already complained about his skin colors not matching up.

I do wish that the red-headed female hunter was a playable skin for vamps. Whoever did that one was an artist. One of my biggest disappointments in the game is the fact that there aren't more skins available, both for the pedestrians and the PC clans.

Zhao from the Orignal Gangster quest in China Town. A year before the game came out, I purchased a computer with, 2. some-odd Ghz Intel Pentium 4 Hyper threading processor, 3 GB RAM, and an integrated graphics card. Zhao's face was incredibly detailed even then.

After him, it would have to be Ming Xiao. The proportions of her facial features seemed dead-on actual (or "balls-on accurate" as Marisa Tomei would say) and when combined with the classic gesticulatory lag that is the human-based computer model, her movements matched her voice wonderfully, she seemed perfectly aloof.

I'd say Damsel and Jack =]

Akeem definately! The artist who made that guy did an amazing job! LOL Just kiddin'

Hmmm, I always enjoyed looking at Bishop Vick honestly, dude just looks so cool with that southern gospel accent. I'm sure I can think of more but I gotta goto bed, we'll continue this later.

Male: Beckett.. he is just so damn awesome! Especially his eyes
Female: Tourette.. both personalities are cool.. business woman vs disco whore? ^^ (well i really love the Santa Monica part with the Tourette plot (especially the ocean house quest^^ i just love that part!))

My favorite Skin: Beckett

My favorite Character: Velvet Velour

My favorite skin is Heather actually. With the "normal" clothes. She has the only skin where the glasses fits and doesnt look awkward/strange. Plus, the original clothes fits her personality much better than the goth versions. I mean her personality before she becomes addicted to the players blood and presence.

My favorite PC skin is the Malkavian female.

My favorite npc skin...hmmm. I think I'll also go with Tourette!

One of my favorite characters is Vandal, the blood bank clerk guy. lol I think he'd be me in that setting. With my luck, absolutely no power, but at least he does have an ambitious streak and sharp tongue.

Hmm, to be honest I think the best skin is the chinatown hunter.. Yukie? or something, it's just so blatantly stereotyped I find it amusing.

That Yukie... she's nothing but a tease. Those big, shoujo princess eyes and that hot little body... Always taunting me with that tiny little skirt that flies up at her every movement... giving me a glimpse of her little white...

Uh, sorry. Have to go. I'll be in my bunk, as Jane* would say.




* Firefly reference.

Best skin: i dunno
Fav skin: Pisha -- Everytime I look into her eyes, I'm so mesmerized

Nagaraja go with Auspex, Dominate, Necromancy... Guess she learned Presence during her two centuries worth of existence I think her skin was a brilliant idea. It matches her demanour so well.
