Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[Moonfallen]

This is honestly one of my biggest concerns, I don't want reversions to any of the previous assets, shapes, lighting etc. I like the current look, I prefer it and if even half the changes (relating to lighting, material, textures, basic shaping, lips, expressions, hair and so on) proposed by people in this thread were taken into account and implemented, it would ruin most of what I've come to love about the graphical update as a whole. Which would be incredibly depressing and genuinely hurt my desire to continue playing for a while.

Genuinely asking have you followed and read this thread at all? We are not asking for the changes to be reverted, we are asking for more options and especially the old options we've been using for our characters for the last decade be added back. The graphics update was half baked at best. You mention how depressed you'd be if the NEW CHANGES were taken away, how do you think most of us felt logging in on early access with our characters completely gone? The majority of people I have talked to do not like the majority of the changes the graphics update brought (and others), and there is a horrible eye strain being caused that I never had before the graphics update. You came here and are seemingly throwing accusations at everyone that we want everything taken away from players like you who are happy about the changes, and that is farther from the truth. This game is very story and cutscene driven, a lot of the graphic changes have really screwed with that story changing the tone in a lot of the cutscenes effectively taking the impact away from new players. Many people who like the changes have been able to share how they feel about the graphics update without attacking the people who are unhappy. There are many changes that were not properly thought out or given their full attention and it's not just the graphics either that have been suffering from poor planning and being half assed. Changes to jobs/classes that later get reverted or changed again which ultimately screwed with the mechanics of the new savage tier. They are clearly making decisions haphazardly. Also to add, literally above where you posted attacking all of us saying we want the changes reverted, I literally state that is the exact opposite of what we are asking for in this thread. People can be unhappy and happy about different changes within the update. I'm unhappy with the way my character looks and would like the option to have her back through ADDITIONAL CHARACTER OPTIONS, and the lighting, but I'm mostly happy with how the graphics for the environment looks but dislike the eyestrain the game now gives me. Many of us have been constructive in our feedback without attacking the people who enjoy every aspect of the changes. Maybe you should try and do the same.

Edit to add: It'd be in their best interest to find a way to make and add additional options to character creation. The changes they made SHOULD BE additional options that people can still use and change to as well as adding in the original options.
