Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[Plushy]

Hey hey,

I start off with the positives.

I generally am extremely thrilled about the graphics update when it comes to the environment (If you don't see a difference, go into your graphics setting. Your previous settings got changed up a bit. Mine got lowered. Activate NVDIA DLSS manually, (mine got set to AMD even though I have an NVIDIA Graphics card) and set the overall settings to MAX).
I like the new lighting, textures, how objects are now rendered. Adding to that, I am also a huge fan of how clothes look now and in general how skin is displayed. I think the game looks amazing now!

With that out of the way, now to the *but*.



I am surprised Au Ra face 3 is rarely talked about. My character was supposed to be on the older side (late 30, start of her 40s) but now she just looks so extremely...young. The only difference between the two pictures are eyecolor and hairstyle.
The lower lip got smaller, the nose is just completely different, as well as er eyeshape. Her jawline was changed from a smoothely curved one to a harsher transition from jaw to chin.
Black hair is just not black anymore but rather...greyish? The intensity of her makeup got nerfed as well, with her black Lipstick not being as pronounced as before. Generally she seems to lack depth in color. I am rather disapointed in that regard and had to play with her makeup and eyecolor to give her face a bit more warmth and dimension.

I hope this gets updated, because generally I do really like the changes. Just not that my model changed that much and that colors got so dulled out.

Off topic but your au ra is gorgeous! wow the update did dark skin justice.
