The amount of feedback regarding this update is indicative enough of just how much people care about graphics.

Let's put it in a sentence to really get a feel for what you're saying.

"The graphics update was necessary because there is a large amount of feedback about the graphics update."

Do we know if they added more bones for ears? I'd love to see Viera, Miqo'te, and Hrothgar get to use them to emote

A few? The picture shows a few more triangles in the ears, but you'd have better luck asking the Twitter account that sourced the image. I just wanted to share it here.

lol



was looking for another screencap but the lighting really does show off the Skyrim character geometry here



the culinarian quests are...interesting



also, I've been playing this game for three years and have never been able to unsee it, but Aymeric's lovely, handsome face doesn't have enough polygons around his lovely, handsome mouth, which makes it look like the corners of his mouth are sewn shut every time he opens it


finally, I love the dragonlancer armor, it is the best in the game, but it always requires me to appreciate the fine cuisine of the crusted jpg (and this is the shinier, better pvp version!)

Hi Ath,

We're not trying to have an argument or anything like that. Like I said, I was joking with you.

I suppose we could search through the forum to find examples where high levels of activity (or mentions of sales?) did not correlate with perceived importance. Engagement/activity/interest is not always an indicator of significance or value. For example, remember all the trolling threads from a few weeks ago over sociocultural issues (before these threads were mostly, finally, deleted)? That's plenty of "activity" without real value.

In terms of business, investment size or scope alone is not always congruent with customer benefit or product success (e.g., 1980s over-investment in real estate for commercial malls).

Likewise, sales and initial engagement do not always equate to long-term value (e.g., fidget spinners).

Yeah you said as much in the beginning I was just trying to put you into a position of defending a point you probably didn’t believe in to see how you’d respond to that workload. Probably for the same reason you tried to mess with me XD.

Yes, that’s how’s businesses work in general. If there is a large interest on a topic and a business monetizes it generally sells well and reaps profit. SE doesn’t need points, they need money. And I need HD textures. As you can see there's a bit of a demand and supply situation going on. Thx.

That time Thancred slipped and fell in mashed potatoes

This sloppy looking decal that looks like a pixelated puffy sticker

I wanted to cast MY eyeballs into the abyss after seeing this

Regardless of what people individually think of the character.

They don't have to make npcs extra special beyond the PC. just so it becomes liked or important.

The way they make her lips so jarring in contrast always threw off the immersion.

Not like when other characters could have lipstick on their own.

[For I'll, it's jarring that we are forced to accept.
For good, it creates a other demand on SE for better and new customization options.
Reap -> Sow. Show its possible in any way -> New Demand Rises.]

ahahaha oh yeah, but it's not the lipstick itself, it's all the jaggies around it. They're really visible in scenes with a lot of light. Like Aymeric, her lovely custom face doesn't have enough polys around the mouth and the textures are too primitive to do a graceful transition from the lipstick to her skin tone.
