Age of Conan - Mini-Preview @ Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Rck, Paper, Shotgun is a great new site formed by some veteran gaming journalists and one of their recent items is a short piece on Age of Conan - more of a blog entry than a real preview but this quote is priceless:

Ultimately, though, I’ll be creating an Age Of Conan character simply because its people are so magnificently ugly. Never have I seen a game where the characters it pumps out can be so grizzled and deformed. Hit the randomise button and you’re presented with a face that looks like it was crushed beneath rocks and then delivered some kind of disease. There’s something heroic about that, and I really hope Funcom don’t ‘fix’ it before release.
