The more time passes, the more I find myself hoping for some kind of "legacy graphics" option. It would mean I get to keep exactly what I love, and people who like how it is now don't have to risk adjustments they don't want. And given that non-updated NPC faces (like Lyse, pre-ShB Thancred, etc.) seem to still work with no issues, I assume the old player faces technically could as well. On the other hand, I know that one of the reasons they swapped to every face using the same base mesh had to do with expediting head gear creation or other things of that nature, so maybe it's not viable based on those considerations.

Either way, I guess we'll know soon.
