Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

Her face never looked like that before the update in the same area and light I took those pictures.

That is because the game had an old and busted lighting solution falling on old and busted models. You're going to see shadows where there may not have been shadows previously because they are now being simulated properly.

To think about it another way, your character's head shape is similar to one of these makeup sponges. As you can see, shadows are forming opposite to where the lighting is coming from. If the pointed end were facing down and the light coming from a bit above them as in your image, shadows would naturally form in the lower half that slopes inwards and away from the light.



I'm not saying you're wrong for feeling any which way about your new character or the changes, but what you're seeing is just how light works. The debate here is more of an artistic one than any kind of graphical error. Do you have light work as it realistically should or do you have everyone stylistically illuminated at all times? Personally I prefer the first option but that's entirely subjective.
