EU Graphical Update Feedback - Hands and Feet

[Sebazy]

There's only like.... 4 (I think? Midlander male & female, Lalafell and male Roegadyn) actual bodies though, so hopefully standardizing will be a little easier because of that.

It's not the bodies themselves that's the problem. It's updating the gear around and over it. Think of something as simple as the strap over the foot on a set of sandals.

With the current club feet that strap could be as simple as 6 tris. Rework the foot into a much higher poly mesh and suddenly that 6 tri strap isn't going to cut it. It's going to need to be remade to correctly fit the new high poly foot model. Now add in your Lala, roe and gender variants and that 1 sandal has spiralled into a not insignificant amount of work. Now multiply that by however many different and unique sandal models this game and it starts getting out of control fast. And that's before we start talking about gloves.

But things don't strap over or around the body in this game, a fingerless glove replaces your bare hand with a glove with a new hand in it.

I won't deny it'd be a lot of work anyway, but if they're updating the textures of a strappy leather sandal to actually look more like leather then the foot is baked into the sandal anyway and would probably need to be remade.

Edited to add: I definitely see what you're saying though, it's mostly wishful thinking from me. It'd be such a bummer to have all this work done and still be stuck with those ugly Lego fingers.
