I can't help but also wonder if a lot of the people voicing their complaints have looked at their character through every background and also panned them around? I only question this because I see most feedback coming from people who choose to use Shroud for their screenshot backgrounds and it's kind of known for it's harsh lighting.

When I do that with my rava, the current lighting differences between the Shroud and Noscean backgrounds when I compare them, even with the character directed to (mostly) look at the light source, is huge. Below are before/after shots I've of her in Noscean comparing the current version with benchmark one, but I've also added a extra picture that shows Noscean lighting vs Shroud one.

Graphics are the same thorough and no adjustments to gamma.





I want to say I lucked out with my female viera as I feel content with how she will potentially be come Dawntrail.
I did, I checked through every light and she looks bad. She just does, I wish she didn't. Only place she looks "ok" is in the aetherial sea. And even there, when I zoom out she has a weird round faceshape she didn't have before. Her makeup is now harsh where it wasn't, her cupids bow is gone and her lips have gone from cute to sausages. And yes I did check the benchmark but there her nose looked crooked somehow in some scenes. You have a dark skinned character and most people I have seen with dark skin are actually happy. Your features are not erased in the same way they were for us with light skinned characters. I agree your character looks basically the same. Good for you. Mine looks awful.
