My Fem Roe's upper lip and eyeliner/eye shadow look very off. Also Black hair now looks more grey than black.

Her skin, hair, iris, gear, and overall graphic texture has drastically improved- but I am so upset by the lips/make up. I want her upper lip, glossy lips and dark eye make up back!

I feel really disappointed going into the expansion.

I just wanted to add another positive note about the updated graphics. While it doesn't feel like it with a lot of details, I think they really are doing their best to review and refine our characters.

I mentioned in my prior post that they adjusted my eyes to bring the look closer to what is current. I decided to capture another more direct comparison. From what I gathered across the forums, no one that uses Midlander face 1 remarked much about the eyes. I couldn't find any feedback that distinctly pointed that out. At most, what was said is that the feel was different but that isn't any different to what anyone else has been saying. However, the devs seemed to notice, on their own, that it wasn't quite right and made a big adjustment.

You'll see from that image slider that they changed the shape and adjusted where his eyes sit on his face ever-so-slightly.

Because they made this adjustment that no one exactly scrutinized (but definitely needed to be corrected), it makes me hopeful that they're doing the best they can and that we'll see some more refinements before and possibly during Dawntrail. Maybe it demonstrates that they're aware that they really have to get the integrity of the characters as close as possible. It probably can't be exact because this is a graphical update (my character doesn't look exactly the same) but I think it can be very close.
