Bless, I've been bothered about this since day 1. I've come to the conclusion that they made his face more like the generic type 1 hyur, than they did the more custom version he had before. This is my face 1 Thancred alt standing alongside NG+ Thancred.



Things I've noticed:

- His nose profile is different (it's longer now and has less of an upturn than it used to have).
- The cupid's bow is much more pronounced now, as he scarcely had one before.
- The mouth is wider over all, and lacks the 'pout' that it used to have.
- Upper lip is thinner now, in particular.
- The eyebrow doesn't have the sharp darker color on the underside, and that makes a shocking difference, as now it nearly blends into his skin.
- There were bags under his eyes before, which seem to be gone now. I can't figure out if it's an overall change with the cheeks or not.

But yes, THANK YOU for making this thread - it's been infuriating me since the day the game went live. He *doesn't feel like Thancred* anymore. I came to the conclusion that while the character looks good, it isn't *him*.
