    This is a rather notorious subject (not in conflicted views, just overwhelmingly well known). There is a GIF that's been going around showing how messed up and insane the expression system looks. Going immediately from laughter to a piercing glare of a straight faced killer.

    But yeah, as an Au Ra male it's quite unsettling to see my character smile in all these cutscenes only to then go back to the default face in the same cutscenes

    The instant return to /straightface makes it look like he's sarcastically fake laughing while he's actually really pissed off at his friend for the horrible joke he made. It's as hilarious as it is creepy. XD

    This is PARTICULARLY noticeable in male Au Ra, goodness.

    I support having default expressions. Expressions can still change in cutscenes, I'm fine with that.

    Gale would be smirking, by the way.
