it's like the future but with lots of make-up

why do all the loons in the publicity shots wear so much make-up ?
or have rings through their noses or some other improbable fashion statement ?
If i was in the future i'd just wear some jeans and a long overcoat.... to hide my Super Plasma Shotgun. Just because the world has gone to pot it doesn't mean we have to run around like a bunch of tribals now does it ? If we're intending the re-civilise the world, people aren't going to listen to us if we look like a bunch of teenage Motley Crue fans are they ?
Then again, maybe I'm missing the survivalist advantage that smearing mutant dung on your face gives you....

Seeing it on the screenshots doesnt mean you need to have it.
I see it as more of a "showoff" of what you can do with the system.
What other game offers that much?
Yes, it does. Technology has pretty much been forgotten at the time of the game's release. New technologies will be "rediscovered" as the server ages. At least, that's how it's been explained anyways. So at first expect the most modern weapon in the game to be a shotgun or rifle. I would think just finding some bullets for your gun is going to be reason for celebration at first.

From the interview we (FallenEarth.se) made with Icarus a while ago.
4. It is apparent that you have got a lot of inspiration from movies such as the Mad Max trilogy. Considering the fact that most of the villains have basically only fetish gear on and that you have told us that there will be "assless chaps" in the game, will it be much of that stuff of clothes and gear or is it something that you try to avoid?
We're not really trying to promote any particular type of clothing or gear. I think the screenshots you've seen include characters that are highly "colorful" just because they tend to grab people's attention. We'll have a huge variety of colors, styles and accessories available. We want people to be free to go whatever way they want to go. A lot of folks like to look outrageous and we want to provide items that will allow them to express themselves. However, there will be a ton of "ordinary" looking clothing too. We think creating your character's look is huge part of the fun in an MMOG. We'd like to make sure there are plenty of options.

I can't wait to see this game in action!
I'm not sure that's true. Not that there are any concrete details yet, but my reading of the FE site is that much technology has been forgotten - but also a lot of it hasn't.
Eg. I'd bet a reasonable amount of money that the neuromap transference technology they talk about on the official site hasn't been forgotten and it's how players will cheat death.
One of the fantastic things about the setting they've chosen is they've given themselves incredible scope for realistically defining the gameworld. 150 years of rampant technological growth followed by the fall of civilisation - and they can realistically pick and choose what they want to keep to make the game fun.
I don't know about anyone else, but one of the things I loved about City of Heroes was the cosmetic character customization. And one of the things I hated about WoW (especially end-game) was the way everyone collected the same armour and weapons so Ironforge looked like some mad dwarf's cloning lab.
I think the degree of customization the devs are showing off with these shots is great. I'm looking forward to playing another game (FE) where I can recognise other players I know just from their appearance.
