Cool!
Why are we seeing Erishe as a Shiny? Hmm... Maybe we will see some of them at launch??

They look waaayyyyy too much like Waerd. I was under the impression that they would have MUCH darker skin in order to set them apart.
If you had told me these were a new render of the Waerd models, I would have believed you.

Iirc, the Waerd and the Erishe were one of the same until they went to search other places as like the semi-arid desert for a less nomadic lifestyle. After the first Godswar they were separated....long story short they are now the Waerd. :)

Don't quote the lore at me. I know it already.
The fact that they're related doesn't excuse the fact that they look identical.
The Neran, Brudvir, and Kypiq are ALL descended from a common ancestor, yet they are all completely different.
I would have assumed they would treat the Erishe and Waerd the same way, but that clearly is not the case.

They look vastly different to me, not sure what you're focused on? Different skin tone, hair type, build, eye shape...
Love the shiny!
Neat and all, but how about some concrete mechanics or slightly lengthier game footage to show the engine in action?

Uh, besides being people of color they don’t look identical at all. The Erishé ARE significantly more dark skinned, but it’s still realistic. Their facial structures are totally different, with the Erishé looking significantly less androgynous than the Waerd. I don’t know what images you’re looking at, but a Waerd and Erishé wouldn’t be able to wear the same shade of foundation from any makeup line. Saying they’re identical really just boils down to thinking they look the same because they’re brown skinned. It’s not as exaggerated of a difference as between a Brudvir and Kypiq, but we’ve known that from the jump. And the models from the character creator demo clearly weren’t fully textured. This is much more realistic.
@PeasantKyre: Every tribe uses the same base model and rigging, with different procedural, bio-morphic adjustments. They look like they're related, but not the same.
From the concept art. What were you expecting? And skin color will certainly be adjustable in the creation screens.
