[Benchmark v.1.1] Female Roegadyn Mouth Option Changes

[veiiven]

Is anyone else incredibly bothered by the changes to the female roegadyns' mouth option changes? Namely how in all the options they thinned down the upper lip and made the cupid's bow shape weirdly pronounced? I'm also not super happy with the hyper definition of the nose, but honestly the lips feel like the bigger offender to me.

I just want my fuller lips back for my poor WoL........

You would not be the only one. Lips across the board are blatantly wrong for the new models, yours nor mine own roe are any different. Roegadyn in current all have expressions that range from disinterest to a scowl, and somewhere along the way they seem to have felt the need to turn all their base expressions into a light simper. Sort of defeats the purpose of playing a roe as far as I'm concerned.

Like sure, is the overall silhouette of the mouth mostly correct in my case? Yes. But the line of the smile itself is incorrect.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that noticed! I had some of my friends say they don't particularly notice the change so for a second I though it was just a nitpick? I feel like some options seem to age femroes too, like the eye shadow being tuned down but then making some face details hyper-realistic makes them look off.

I really do hope the dev team does more adjustments in the long run, even if the complaints aren't as widespread as the ones for more popular races like miqo/viera/au ra.

Oh and not to mention I miss how dark the Hellsguard nose smudge so much. I some people may not have been fans of it but I think it adds character. Would've been nice to just add an option in the same section as facial features to remove it/lighten it rather than just lightening it period.

OMG yes I was noticing this too on my fem roe. Her upper lip looks so small compared to before. I hope they adjust this....

I noticed a similar problem, my character's lips lost their gloss. The eyes also seem darker.

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 noticed this too!!! It looks more like the lip color is tattooed onto the lips than it being actual makeup or anything.

The graphics are great they really are, but I feel like them striving for hyper realism kind of made some aspects lose their charm, yk?

I TOTALLY see what you mean about something looking off in your screenshots, I also have to wonder if them brightening the eyes also doesn't help with the makeup around them. Like the eyes feel super out of place.
