Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[GrizzlyTank]

hello, thread. it's late but something made me look at my character in game and ruminate the graphics update again.

i am happy that most of my characters, and i have many, made it to the other side ok looking. but some others, jitah'li here included, didn't i think.

i have been patient to not burn the free fantasia to change i am not 100% about.

i've had some success in restoring his appearance by tweaking his colours and playing with non-fantasia needed options. he looks better, i think, but here comes the frustration:

i try to live with it, but i cannot get over his dull eyes (face4/eyes3).



why do they have to catch light like that? QQ
why i care so much? realistically i look at his back most of the time i play. guess i like looking at his face, too...
what makes it even more annoying is that all it takes is to tilt camera a little to have his old eyes look back at me :/

Because you see, realistic catchlight is he only thing that matters! *pushes glasses*...

Though seriously, i still don't get the random push to realism with the eyes when they were and have always been somewhat stylized. Ok it looked slightly different in the character creator, but that as we all know have always been a bit off and how it was in-game should have been the standard.

They just had the look of the game right with the stylisation and nothing I've seen since the update makes me think "wow that looks good because it is realistically lit and shadowed". If anything it just shows up how un-accurate the lighting is behaving.
