It's still not really possible to create a design replicating any particular one of the SCII Beserker XPs with a super high degree of fidelity, but I do feel like this effort here does an excellent job capturing the overall vibe of the character, if I do say so myself. RIP Rock/Beserker.

Astaroth: Beserker Mode

I love it! if i could mod, i would definitely dabble in it. you being able to bypass the limitations look very fun and interesting.

I’m impressed that you still have gas in the tank for all these new ideas.
Everytime I’ve tried to go back to the game I’ve been feeling like I have already done everything I wanted to with what is possible, yet I continue to see cool stuff posted here!

Thanks so much, Tael! Yeah, my own interest continues to come in waves, with big peaks and big drops in enthusiasm. That said, I find that if I just carve out some time to begin some experiments that, even if I don't have any particular idea of where I am headed at the start, I often find myself chasing some interesting concepts. It also helps that I've switched entirely to the PC version for my creation efforts. Not only is the game so much better optimized for the PC (honestly, the console versions are truly shit, there's no other way to accurately put it), saving a lot of time in menu navigation, but it makes back-ups and forking variations from a common starting point much easier. And that's before you even factor in quality of life technical tweaks that you can only implement on PC. Even for designs that use only base assets, working from the PC speeds things up considerably, with far fewer arbitrary frustrations.

I actually did quite a few variations on this idea, with some versions that were otherworldly in more of an uncanny valley/deconstructionist sort of way way, as opposed to demonic vibe I ultimately landed on here. But I'm just going to take the time to share this one for now, unless and until I polish the others up completely.

Edge Master in his indiscreet youth.

Edge Master: Grey Beard

[Rusted Blade]

This one probably needs a tad more surface work to really pull it together and make it pop, but I think the basic design is, if you'll forgive the pun, fire.

Cervantes: The Eefreet

Zasalamel: 1886

Zasalamel: Methuselah

​

And this last one is a bit of a gag variation: Zas cosplaying as another pop fantasy scythe wielder. The colors/surface work are very lazily and hastily thrown together, because I can's justify more time for such a silly design....

Zasalamel: Rubynesque
