N00b!!!11eleven (Edit: or bad memory, I guess)

It's always been there back from when the Wayback Machine started mirroring the site in 2001. It was pretty shitty. The last dump that had it was this one from January 16th, 2007.

They're random 3D renders to make the game look better than it actually does. More here. This is what the game actually looked like around the time the intro was made:

The screenshot looks like Fantasy Doom, and that creature like a deadly alien brain eater.

After watching that flash derula posted, I wonder... where the hell did those 3D renders go? Why aren't they in game? I mean... aren't they awesome?

They're renders. Time is no concern with rendered images. The art was probably created back than specifically to be used in the rendering, ignoring any polygon count limits. In those days, they likely took a very long time to render, and even if the art was still there, PS probably still wouldn't run at a sane framerate if they were in the game.

Yep, that's a Stonebreaker.  As of 0.3 all dwarf models were Hammerweilders (at least male ones as I recall).  Prior to that, they were all Stonebreakers.

Here is one of my favorite shots (one of the few I still have) from MB.  You can see some dwarves there.  As well as the old female Dermorian models.  :-)

Huh. Did the female Dermorian models come later during MB? Because I believe to recall that when I signed up, there were none and I was forced to make Jamona a fenki. Which didn't really fit well with the story I already had made up for her (the story was a bit godmoddy and out of setting anyway, but years later I RPed an adjusted version of it).
