A lot of the forge objects look a little weird compared to their in-game counterparts, so I assume its to reduce polygons and to make the object more forge friendly. If you look at the current covenant objects in forge they all have a similar look to them, which doesn't quite look right but with proper lighting and placement you can make them look much better. I doubt they want the objects to look like that but it's something they have to do to make them work, also might explain why we didn't get any covenant forge pieces right away because they had the most noticible change from their ready for forge procedure.
