You misread ABF.
He was talking about art style, not engine.
You "even played Warcraft 1" did ya? Now THAT game had a different art style than WC2, that's for sure. I didn't especially like it's appearence. WC2 looked like a more serious version of Lost Viking's art. I guess it's not too surprising.
ABF, I think I agree with you there. Variety in art styles (AND WRITING STYLES DANG IT, sorry wrong thread...) sure adds... variety... However that last sentence of mine LACKS it. :D
I took a look at some of those character designs. They do look different when you directly compare them to Warcraft humans for example (to look at them, it would appear that Human mages spend their days lifting giant pillars just like human warriors).
I totally agree about the Blood Elf model thing. That was weird. I suppose it's not too bad but when you consider that all the warcraft females are like half the size of their male counterparts, it gets incredibly silly. In their defense, in the blood elf case it seems that there was some sort of self-clipping issue when the old models did a number of animations.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
