No, I too wouldn't mind seeing this. If I could find a picture that I drew of him, I got him wearing one of those large feather hats, bear palm prints on his chest... Basically that one intimidating character in Pocohantas that she was supposed to marry who's name I will not attempt to spell.



The threads that show them and the youtube clips that have them are tempting me to take a peek but I'm not going to succumb into. Haha

Well, unless they do something awesome with his alternate costume, he'll always look boring and uninteresting to me...

I agree with what you say about Litefoot though. His appearance in MK Annihilation was one of the better ones and represented Nightwolf really well.

Hmmmmm is it wrong that instead of a historian I can picture Nightwolf as a Biker who gets caught up in all of Kahn's invasion of earth??

Not really. Nightwolf is a shaman. How do you relate that fact to people unless you dress him like one? It would be like including a German knight in the game and not giving him armor, or at least chain mail, or an Arab and not giving him a suicide vest and an AK-47.

The problem with Nightwolf, I think, is that the MK team is pussyfooting around his Indian heritage. I can imagine Boon, probably in a whiny voice like "Pat" from the old SNL skit, saying, "EHHHEHHHHHHH, we want to have an innnnndian, but we don't want him to look toooooo indian, EEEHHHHHHH because then we might offend reeeeeeaaal indiannnnns." They did this and we got the mess that was his MKD alt.

Quit beating around the bush and make him an indian already.

You're a bit of a jerk, aren't you?

He's not JUST an indian, he's an American male living in the year 2010 A.D. (or possibly 1995. Same difference)

The man doesn't have to look like he stepped out of a god damned time machine to show off his indian heritage, he's TWO things, not just one.

Like Kitana is both a princess AND an assassin which excuses her current outfit that has a fantasy princess-vibe to it, right?

So am I. So are about 150 million other people. Nightwolf though is special. If I want to see a guy in a t-shirt and jeans, I'll look in the mirror. That's just a boring design, and the only reason they would use that is because they're trying to prove how "progressive" and "PC" they are. "look, here's an indian, but we didn't make him look like an indian, he's just an everyday american guy. Look how progressive we are." But the over the top weird thing we had in MKD wasn't so hot either. I'd rather see a traditional plains indian look for him, and I think probably most native americans wouldn't be offended by it.

I don't think Kitana's outfit looks like either an assassin or a princess. I will be using her Retro-skin unless her first alt is better.

Hopefully, Nightwolf will have a better looking alternate as well.

I like Nightwolf's primary just fine. (Except for missing the wolf logo on his biker vest)

Well, I don't, if you haven't noticed that from my posts above...

YAAAASSS! Id love it.

Well your previous post seemed contradictory. Do you agree that Nightwolf is a modern man and can look Indian without looking like he stepped out of a time machine, or not?
Because the Kitana comparison you made didn't make any sense so I'm not sure where you were going with it.

I live about 10 minutes away from a Native reserve. My great grandmother was Ojibway. Many native reserves are often poverty stricken. Yet I have never seen one wearing an animal pelt, shaman or not. The game doesn't take place pre-1900, even native people wear modern clothes, jeans, t-shirts, coats that aren't made from the hide of a deer.

If they made him wearing nothing but a bear skin pelt and a loin cloth, he'd get written off as a joke character, not to mention the fact that NRS would open themselves up for a huge backlash from the community for creating such an offensive character and dipicting them like savages.

I think look wise, Nightwolf is a fairly respectable way to represent the Native american culture with a modern twist. Just because he bores you doesn't mean we should throw a dead animal on his shoulders and make him dance around a campfire.

Yes, Nightwolf is a modern man, and it shows on his current outfit. It is, however, rather boring to look at in my opinion. There's nothing exciting about it. So I'd like to play the fantasy card and say that I'd rather see Nightwolf embrace his shamanism and look the role than looking like the "average native american". Therefore, some animal skin, some totems and trinkets and stuff like that would do wonders for his appearance, in my opinion, of course.

Of course we do, why would you say that? There's a modern city with helicopters flying around and a riot cop with a pistol and a taser, not to mention Sonya and Jax.

It's a fantasy setting based on our world. That doesn't excuse Nightwolf for not looking more interesting though. Actually, it's a perfect excuse to make him appear more like a shaman than the typical average native american.

Then what year is it then if we know? What is the EXACT year this game is taking place then?

Show me anywhere, links, sites, pics, videos, that tells us when exactly this game takes place.

And for the record, I am not starting shit with you... That's all I'm saying.

It's somewhere between the 90's when MK1 thru 3 were released and the present day. The exact year doesn't matter, I remember the world looking pretty much exactly the same in 1990 as it does today except less cellphones and internet.

Just for comparison purposes.

I repeat, it's a fantasy setting. Everything can happen.

Well I'm twenty years old, do the math.

As I said, it wouldn't hurt for a character who is Native to show more roots than just a headpiece with two feathers sticking out, a vest and face paint.

Just because the game has to be politically correct for you to enjoy it doesn't mean it should. So what if it's stereotyping, people do it every single day. It wouldn't be that bad of a thing for Nightwolf to show off more Native looks than what he's shown.

If the game is based during the time of the 90s, that doesn't mean we can't see characters dressing like they don't belong. If it's a fantasy based creation as what Jaded said, then it doesn't mean it needs to be exactly like our world. There can be differences.

As stated, this game doesn't need to be politically correct just because it wouldn't look right due to the setting this world takes place in. People can look out of place, hence why we have sorcerers and cyborgs wondering around Earthrealm as well.

Even fantasy settings have to have rules and logic. And MK is a fantasy setting based on the real world in the present day with some science-fiction and fantasy added.
