    What additional character options could be added with "new faces"?

    With the addition of the long-awaited "Midlander stubble" face, and Hrothgar faces before that, the devs have taken the route of adding multiple copies of the same face but with one key element changed.

    So what else could potentially be added with the same approach?

    A choice of horns for Au Ra seems like the most obvious request that could be fulfilled this way.

    It could also allow for a wider choice of things like racial tattoos that are very limited per face.

    ---

    Edit to be clear: I'm not calling for a "list everything you wish they'd add to the creator". Think within the scope of the current character template and what option they could swap out for a different equal option, or what permanent part of the face (eg. horns) could be changed for a different permanent part.

    An overhaul of the character creator in general is probably the only way we're ever going to get better customization. BUt that wont happen until we get a core engine upgrade sadly.

    I don't expect that to happen either - but that's my point. The devs worked around that restriction by adding a new Midlander face with the stubble pre-attached, and worked around not having enough customisation options for Hrothgar by adding two versions of each face with different hairstyles attached.

    So my question is, what other things would people like to see addressed this way? The scope of it is limited of course, but it's a thing they have done already and therefore could potentially do for other races and features.

    That's not a face setting. That would involve adding an entirely new race with different sliders and gear models.

    I'm asking what could be added to the faces only.

    This question has stumped me.. it’s that typical thing where someone asks you what your favourite music is and suddenly you can’t think of anything. I feel the Au’Ra could benefit the most out of this

    I’d like the Au’ra to have the option of glowing eyes with the choice of colour, more intimidating and creepy options so the race could have a range of cutesy like we have now to more fierce and beast-like

    Just give me more beard options. Actual beards, not just stubble (which I think is a fine addition, btw). A full beard on a character that doesn't look like a surly old man lol

    Honestly I just want updated textures for faces that are behind.
    My favorite Highlander face for example is very low res in comparison to the rest, and new races look very obviously better.
    Some faces just need help and look like they were rushed for NPC's and then just thrown in there into the creator.

    I'd like a cheek shadowing option. High cheekbones into slightly sunken cheeks, aka "fine features" is visible on fair-skinned Elezen, but doesn't show on darker-skinned ones, like my grey-skinned Duskwight. He looks full-faced when I chose the options to give him well defined cheekbones and jaw.
