    Besides racial traits (Keeper Fangs) and obvious visual bugs like Hair/Beard clipping, it's really hard for me to see the changes as anything other than a massive upgrade.

    Sadly, it's not up to me to decide what people like or dislike for their own characters.
    I don't think most people are complaining in bad faith, but I also don't know if people are just too attached to the PS3 look because how long it's been with us.

    I guess I hope they can maybe tweak eye glow a bit to accentuate it, even if there's little light, and tweak dark skin tones a bit.

    I said this before, and I need to stop posting because I'm just repeating myself, but I really just hope the best for everyone.

    I know we all love our characters.

    I think it depends on what face you are using. For a lot of the female characters the changes are minimal.

    But males have some faces with more distinct/harsher features and those features were lost to the update since the update made everything softer/smoother.

    I really can't argue with that. I don't have a male character so I can't really speak for experience.

    If anything, I'll agree with the general sentiment that a more liberal/artistic eye glow may go a long way in winning people over. Obviously eyes wouldn't reflect light from every angle, but we're still dealing with stylized graphics. It's ok to break the rules.

    Other than that (and darkening some skin tones a bit)... I really don't know what they can do realistically. I love what they did, but not everyone else does.

    My Au Ra character changes

    I would also agree that some changes completely change look of character and would either appreciate more customization to keep original look or have optional switch to new character models.
