The beginning of Episode 2?

[Baggins]

I think she had worse problems to worry about, such as lack of colors and details.

Very funny, Baggins.

"NO-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"

[kindofdoon]

That scream was always uncomfortably loud...

[KatieHal]

Not to mention worrying about Graham's awful hairstyle in that last image!

[kindofdoon]

Sort of looks like a mullet, now that you mention it, lol.

[TheReturnofDMD]

It looks the same to me. He did have a mullet in KQ4-6 anyway.

I'm pretty excited to see what goes on with Valanice as the trailer seemed to give some hints.  Personally, with her being asleep and Graham talking to her, it looks like she's being cursed too which would seem to indicate that Shadrack is taking out Graham's family one by one.  I'm assuming that it was Valanice being dragged up the tower steps, possibly in her dream world if she was cursed.  The tower looked more to me like an Eldritch inspired structure (or maybe it was just the troll that was dragging her making me think of KQ7).  And I do think that she's on the verge of a breakdown.  Maybe it was just me, but watching the trailer with Graham moving quickly through the halls of the castle and the door opening and Valanice looking out the window, but it seemed like she was suicidal and about to jump.  Valanice has always seemed to be a secondary character and we never really got to see her dealing with problems, aside from KQ7 which she shared with Rosella, and mentions about how devastated she was over Alexander's kidnapping and the fear she had of the quartz tower stairs.  I'm looking forward to seeing more of her and how she deals with this.

LOL wow that is an old video, shows you how far the visual quality has come since then.  And some of the stuff that's shown in that video has been cut out of the game or changed as well.

If she's been through anything that would induce shock and therapy, it's that DREADFUL caterpillar -- I mean mustache -- on his face. The hair is pretty bad too though.

Seriously, Graham, you're a king. Shouldn't you have a personal stylist?

As I have stated I hope that the team hasn't removed some of the new characters they had created, I have seen some sketches and they looked wonderfully designed.

Here are some that I liked (I hope they are still on the game!):






Those gardens look beautiful.

I guess the two animal companions Alexander and Rosella were going to have have been cut as well... And maybe all the stuff that appeared in the Dream world too, but if Graham has to go there...  

[Damar]

So, not to request more of the team or act entitled, but what are the odds, after the game is fully released, of getting some supplementary information (like a youtube video or some such) including the deleted scenes, deleted gameplay, altered plotlines, and all that?  I'm really curious about what the game was like originally, how it grew, and what's been taken out.  And if some of the stuff from that trailer were removed, that means that audio was recorded and some cut scenes created so it could actually be seen.  I know it couldn't and shouldn't be brought out before the game is totally released, but it would be really neat to see down the line.

I think that picture in the middle may have just been early concept art for the Arch Druid, and the stairs toward the bottom are early adaptations for the stairs where the Cliffs of Logic used to be if I'm not mistaken.

[KatieHal]

I think you're right about the Cliffs, but that wasn't an AD concept piece. Since he was a KQ6 character, his look was pretty much set to begin with. I think it was a sketch of an original character.
