Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[Argantaelle]

Midlanders.

Some of the faces look very natural when smiling and talking; the other ones have lost in the character upgrade lottery.

Face 1.

Face 2.

Face 3. A non-standard face, which is not preventing the smile from looking good.

Faces 5 and 6 got hit hard with the update. The smiling line is created mostly with the lower lip; the upper lip isn't changed in any way and stays short and stiff, thus creating an uncanny impression, especially when only the thin corners of the mouth are raised high. The smile turns into a semicircle when the NPC is talking. The lower lip is enlarged, protruded (even to the point of crossbite), and lowered down so much that it looks unnatural. We'll see the same pattern a lot, so I'm going to refer to this type of cartoonish smile as the "semicircle smile.".

This NPC has the 5th midlander face:

The emote is /taunt, though, but I think it can be included in the list.
