Introduction
What are alternate appearances in EQII?
EQII has three ways you can view your character models. The first is the standard, default character models that you see when you first play the game.
The second is the SOGA model set, which includes a different artistic style for some of the races. Keep reading to find out more about those models.
The third is just a fun, silly way to play the game...in /cutemode. View all the characters around you as bobbleheads by using /cutemode.
