Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

I noticed this as well and created a bug report about it here if you'd like to add your excellent examples as further evidence.

Apologies for the late reply, was probably not the best idea to post all of that right before savage release.

I actually made a similar bug report during the second benchmark release. However I'll put my gifs into your report. If yours get declined, I'll repost them into mine.

If anyone else have already made reports of bugs I've mentioned, feel free to toss them at me and I'll post my images/gifs there. I don't have much free time to be looking through all the bug reports for the moment.

So well written, I really appreciate hearing from the perspective of a ♂ Au Ra player as I haven't seen many posts regarding them (at least ones that go into detail like this).

The sneer expression is one of the worst offenders, I can see that the same issue is on both ♀/♂. It doesn't seem as duck-like on ♂ Au Ra at the very least.

Looking at your ♀ Au Ra portraits, I get the impression of the lips looking more rougher. This has helped me to discover another factor where the "grotesque" feeling that I've been getting from ♀ Au Ra Face 1 is coming from.

I can see the face scales are warping like with ♀ Au Ra's, as you mentioned there's no doubt that this is an oversight considering how they fit on ♂ Au Ra. Really hope this gets fixed.

I agree with the hair texture losing detail, it happened with the hairstyle I use as well. It probably only affects the more "dynamic" hairstyles, the ones with a lot going on (which is plentiful for ♂ Au Ra).
It might be able to be resolved by darkening the hair in some very specific cases but with the limited colour palette and the changes to it there's only so much that could be done.

Also, I don't think the eyelash mention is a nitpick, my character's look feels totally lost with how they rotated and thinned them out and I can see the same on yours (though it might not bother you as much as me).

Appreciate the kind words.
Regarding the eyelashes I'm 100% with you there. It also bothers me how eye makeup in general isn't as bold as it used to be (my male Au Ra got lucky in that regard).

Your post has honestly inspired me to go and check for details I may have overlooked, but unfortunately I can't run the game at the moment.

I would advice that you save your sanity. The more bugs I encounter, the more disappointed I get with the direction of the game. And it can't be unseen once it's found. But if you do encounter anything I look forward in seeing your findings.

No worries, thanks for adding your examples to the post. I would be surprised if the post gets declined since the issue is so incredibly blatant but I guess we'll see!
