    It depends where the "extra work" is. The models are already there of course, but it might not be as simple as just letting them be applied to other faces.

    - Face shapes are different. Can the eyebrows from one face simply be dropped onto another, or would there be gaps and seams where the shapes don't line up? Would it need to be remodelled to fit?

    - Could the system actually handle it? How are the face elements stored, and could the UI actually access more options than what it is currently set up for? Would they have to reprogram how it works? It might require a complete rebuild for all we know.

    in other words: we have to do the whole road map for something we don't have: nuanced technical knowledge, budget information and time available to invest, all while at the same time guess-timate for them to have a proper deployment?

    I mean, really? Might as well ask them to open source this game's code, add mod support with repository access for console to use said mods and just have them focus on the "main stuff" since literally saying "we want more facial options" means "we want more facial options".

    And I am aware we already asked for the latter (mods) and its still a #plzlookfwd2it/#insertlimitations.
