Also, the game file size would double and a lot would not be able to handle it. My hubby's PC barely handles this and a lot of PS4s barely handle this too.
    I'd personally love to use an option to revert the character graphics changes, even if no headgear, hair, head fashion accessories, or eyewear released after 6.58 appears visible on my character.
    The reason the face replacements look so different (and were even made) is because the replacement heads are all morphs of the same mesh (to cut development costs and save time) as opposed to the 6.58 heads which were all unique.
    If using the old characters with 0 support were an option (just like Hroth, Viera, and old hats ), I would get a character that does not look bad, and the developers would get an easier job. The old character models would also be a fraction of the size of the old graphics in totality.

    Your character does not look bad.

    My character, and the ones I see in cutscenes, look so not bad I do not want to play the game. The soul is different, on account of every single discernible facial feature being remodeled alongside animating differently.

    At least the graphics update makes my character look as disinterested in the 7.0 MSQ as I currently feel (This screenshot is taken from the dialogue option freeze frame in "Shadowbringers" cutscene #2, where emotions are supposed to be high, not empty, and is used because 7.0 footage without the graphics replacement does not exist).
