Druid caster form vote and skin plan

A community vote selects the default visual direction for the druid caster form. The winning option is identified as design number three, which is described as a relatively humanoid form and therefore easier to animate than some of the more extreme alternatives.

The vote also informs how alternate appearances may be handled. The winning community choice is intended to be included as the free baseline form, while other shortlisted options may be considered as additional purchasable skins rather than launch-default variants.

Winning form

Design number three wins the poll by a clear margin. It is described as intimidating in appearance, but also practical from a production standpoint because its humanoid structure is less difficult to animate than another candidate that is characterized as a potential animation "nightmare".

Additional form skins

Two other options, numbered four and five, are said to be tied in the voting at the time of the discussion. The tie is treated as relevant because one of those designs may be chosen for implementation as an extra skin. The baseline plan is that the community-selected main form remains free, while at least some alternate visual forms could be sold separately.

Availability at launch

The possibility of having all druid forms available at the beginning of the game is rejected. The discussion indicates that not every concept would be obtainable from the start, and that alternate forms would be introduced selectively rather than all at once.
