EU Graphical Update Feedback - Hands and Feet

[Lusarae]

Just a reminder on top the hands posted above this is a current foot in the game. Some Ps2 level stuff right here:

Yeah this is bad. Though I wouldn't insult the PS2 by comparing it to that level of detail. Looks more like an N64 game. Plus having permanent sandals on that you can never take off is a bit strange.

Look at it this way:

8 races, 14 unique heads once we factor in genders (sorry Hrothgars!), 4 base variants of each head, that gives us a worst case of 56 head models to update if we assume the worst case of them not being able to use morphs to transfer the updates across all variants at once in their development tools.

Now compare that to the hand and foot models alone. How many sandals, open toed shoes and glove models does this game have? Now multiply that for racial and gender variants. It's going to be in the 1000s. It'll be way more than an entire expansion's worth of new gear.

It is a lot. But once you make the "base" hand/feet for each race the hard part is done. All you do from that point on is just copy/paste it into the gloves/shoe models and click and drag to move any armor that clips so it fits the new form. In reality you're going to keep the overall shape of things the same, the only thing that really needs changing are adding toes and rounding out the fingertips and giving them nails. Any armor that exposes these parts conveniently don't have anything covering them up either. Probably takes 2 minutes at most per item. One person could do this tedious but simple workload in a week. Its already been done... for free by some random person on the internet if your google fu wants to verify this supposedly "tremendous" task that a AAA studio can't accomplish on their own.
