You can't "lock" something that doesn't exist.

I was just trying to say that gear wouldn't be as big of an issue if they did use the roe model as a base, since all the gear in the game is already mapped to that model's skeleton. Not trying to downplay the effort that had to go into making the model though, it is obvious they put a lot of work into it. That's why we still aren't 100% if it is partially reused assets or not.

You could be right, it makes sense to use Roe as a reference, but to all the people saying "it's just a roe body with a cat head", you are all ignorant to how character models are made
