There's something wrong with his body.

I want the old Eredin's design as a free DLC for the PC then, if the other paperweights are really so obsolete they can't even render a couple of spikes.

Developers didn't change Eredin's appearance, just the appearance of one of the generals.

Almost like he came from another world, not entirely fitting to the one Geralt currently resides in, right?...

He came from another world with a bucket on his head.

He came from another world with a bucket on his head.

At least that bucket resembled a crown, now it's only spikes for the sake of spikes.

 

[frozenkex]

Maybe they changed design of Eredin to be more similar to TW1 design?

Yes.
It's Eredin, King of the Wild Hunt. He is elven, and he leads an army of elves, and the rest are spoilers.
If you want to learn more look up Eredin in Witcherwiki.

Thanks I appreciate it. Do you know why they changed the Design?

Or read the books...

Eredin's initial design resembled Sauron (Lord of the Rings) in many ways, and my best guess would be that CDPR changed the design to avoid that.
Plus although the first design looks cooler, the second design is more practical as an armor.

i hope a mod with the old appearence is released the instant the game comes out. the new design is uber stupid and uninspired

Even though I liked the old design more, I have to disagree with you, the old design was too Sauron-ish and uninspired, at least the new one has the feeling of the true nature of the Wild Hunt.

 

[MacGruber.408]

Redkit will soon follow and the open world will be at your modding fingertips. You can recreate textures at your own will.

It's simply an artistic choice. Why that is supposed to be stupid?

 

[Yasakani]

Maybe they changed the design because the armor is way too bulking that it caused clippings/complications when implementing gameplay.

 

[Dracolich55]

Couldn't they find... y'know, a middle ground? The two extremes here are insane. On one hand we have a generic skeleton minion design, on the other hand we have a ghetto version of Sauron.

 

[AILD97]

Well now that CDPR have more time on their hands due to the delay I really hope they invest that time in tweaking some of the character designs amongst polishing the game.

 

[Canthuss]

I'll be honest. I found the old design to be rather unique. I didn't find it to be very Sauronish at all to be honest. The first time I looked at him I went "Oh shit, I have to fight that guy?"
Most video game enemies don't make me say that but the old design for Eredin did. This new one eh not so much IMO
