At the VERY least, could we get the option to use the "default" Midlander w/ beard?

It's still an NPC though, so they can add the custom face to it just like they can for any other NPC face that players don't have access to. And IIRC it was deliberate that the character resembled but wasn't Ardbert so it was sort of a meta joke, I guess.

They seem to be using custom faces for minor NPCs a lot here, and recycling assets where they can. Like, I don't think Moren is supposed to have anything to do with Asahi but it's definitely that same custom face.

But, what's the difference between using an NPC face and a player face? Its not like we have face sliders or something. His face should be able to rig for as much emotion as a player character than it did when it was used by Ardbert. What's holding it up from being used? The facial hair?

EDIT: I don't necessarily expect you personally to have an answer, Iscah. Just thinking out loud, mostly.
