Statues of the Gods in Factions

In the Factions guidebook that game with the game, it says that the statues of the Gods in Cantha are slightly different from thos in Prophecies. For example, instead of the two-edged sword that Balthazar wields in Prophecies, it's supposed to be a samurai-like sword in Factions.

Now admittedly, I'm not done playing Factions (I can't believe the voice acting could be worse than that of Prophecies -- but it is!!), but I've noticed that the statues of the Gods look exactly the same as those in Prophecies.

so is the guidebook wrong? the artists didn't have enough time to modify the statues? or are the statues actually different, but only those that appear later in the game?

Another case of the writing department making work that the modeling department can't back up. =)

I think Lyssa's statue looks diffrent in factions.

I'd like to see all the statues be used, instead of trying to make them different :P

What do you mean be used? They are used at every shrine all around the world, among other places. :P

Who cares? All GW gods are jerks anyway. Where were they while I was laboring my ass off trying to save the world? And don't even get me started with Balthazar and his unhealthy gladiatorial combat fetish, making hundreds of people fight each other to the death every day in his honor.

And what's with the Hall of Heroes? You'd think for a God of War he'd have better taste in interior design instead of smearing everything with drabs of gold. Gold is so... 1850s.

I think he means them having their own realms.
So you have fow for Balthazae, uw for Grenth and then we have 3 other gods with no realms.

what do you mean? i love the voice acting in both prophecies and factions!

FOR ASCALON!

The guard who is waiting at the gate when you enter the cutscene before going into the Minister's Estate mission sounds like the cookie monster.

Dont get me started on togo...
