Female Au Ra Face 4 - Benchmark Feedback

Also the forced eyeshadow, makes me so frustrated. What about RBF face 4 makes them think that we want to look cutesy? I like that we finally have lips and a bit larger of a nose option, but the rest is just disappointing. Forced makeup, softer, long eyelashes...........idk, I'm tempted to fanta to a bunny boy because I can get their faces closer to what my wol oughta be.

Also, genuinely how dare square lighten her. That's the darkest I can go without it going some weird green, and then they tint her green anyways in some lighting, make her greyish in others, and lighten her??

I would love for them to consider giving us back the sharper, more angular features. I know the noses were essentially triangles, but I loved it. They removed female face 4's character identity as a whole -- they were not meant to be so rounded out. I really hate how my character was changed. If they gave us the benchmark options + our legacy options (what we have now), I would love that soooo much. An option for new and old, if you will.

I agree that the new face 4 is too soft. I liked the fierce look my character had before, but now she's much more neutral.

Edited to add: The pupils also seem much larger now, and it makes our eyes look less focused.

Her philtrum is so wide that she looks like a different person...

I totally agree. I liked that my character looked like a warrior while also still being pretty. Now she doesn't look like she'd ever be on a battlefield with that pout she's got going on. It's actually a nice lip option but it's not a good replacement for the old one. https://i.gyazo.com/faafff115e0bd70b...e7168a7538.jpg

I didn't even realize Face 4 now got dimples omg?? I need to check my Au Ra now bc she uses that face
and I agree they got rounder and softer, which is ironic bc the graphics update also changed mine's limbal rings to glow more(?) that she looks both soft like a young girl and terrifyingly like a ghost at the same time lol.

They softened the eyes. My current eyes look angry/determined, the new ones look much more mellow.

Luckily for me, female hrothgar are exactly what I've always wanted in this game, so I will be switching. But I would be disappointed if I had to stay as a female au ra.

Her entire face has been softened, eyes and mouth especially. I specifically gave her the features she has so she's more stern than the other faces and options, and the changes make her less stern and more soft, the opposite of how I made her and want her to look like. I can't simply change her features without making her look even more different, her stern looks and fierceness is one of her defining traits.

Just wanted to add my thoughts in the hopes that it'll get changed.

I use au ra face 4, mouth 2, eyebrows 3.

The shape of the mouth has completely changed, and it makes the character's whole face look different.

This makes it look like she's gone for a lip filler. It makes her face look puffy and fake. Honestly, it makes me feel kind of icky, because it's like she's been edited to adhere to some kind of doll-like beauty standard - like she's been made to seem more cutesy and rounded, as if a load of botox and filler has been forced on her.

Additionally, the angle of the eyebrows has been relaxed, making her look less stern.

Also, her nose (nose 1) has been turned up.

Essentially it feels like the lips, nose, and eyebrows have been switched to another kind - the lips most of all. I'm very unhappy. I don't want to play a softened, beautified version of my au ra who's pouting at me all the time. I want the shapes of her features to remain consistent with those I originally chose.
