1. The problem with having 'normal' looking models would be that they are so plain. The characters don't have the most detailed faces in a game so adding normal looking guys and gals would make them quite inconspicuous. But I agree to some extent, more plain models would be more realistic but that counts for NPC's as well. None of them look like the average medieval person.

2. Quite alot of the NWN games takes place in the north so it's logic that most of them would look 'northern'.

Some time ago I played a module called 'The Way of the Open Hand' which supposedly took place on a Chinese island so the tilesets were of course an issue. The module builder handled it quite well though despite the lack of appropiate tilesets. After you got in to the setting you hardly noticed it.

3. Which monsters would that be?
