Are the faces still ugly

[ghrian]

Hi,
Solasta seems like a great game. I looked at it at release, but the ugly faces stopped me from playing it. I can understand, that they are a small dev studio...

But then why not use 2D graphics in the dialogue scenes instead of focussing on strange 3d models?

Therefore: Have they updated the character models / faces since release or is this still a problem?

They are not ugly. Bland perhaps, lacking detail and texture, but not ugly.

I mean, look at my elves.

hmm, it will be a struggle, but you will eventually manage to build a team with faces who don't make you want to hide them under a bucket

At least in the new DLC coming early November we can hide them under loads of warpaint and scars.
HOw difficult is it to make prettier and hotter female Elves? And ugly bald dwarves?

I Just bought the game and i'm ashamed to say that i struggled through the intro(really oping thats gonna be skippable cus damn its boring) and i just had to stop playing the game altogether when i found out you they are zooming in on faces in dialogs and stuff. I dont understand why they would do that.

I'm not a model artist by any means but i could make something better in blender.

I had a female human cleric who I gave the dwarven belt and she grew a beard. I just tried to not look at her for the rest of the play through lol

Cancelling belt attunement actually removes beard after long rest.
But according to the rules only characters who can grow beard should be getting one (so non-elf males).

Very VERY ugly, worse than it was on early access, somehow. They don't look "bland" or "mundane", they have weird proportions, particularly the human females, especially the default face that has a very large face with a very small cranium. It just looks uncanny if you actually look. Elves look fine for both sexes, for the most part, dwarven males look either fine or like an alien made it. Dwarven females I think are the exception because they look like what I think the devs were looking for: "Average".

What's most uncanny is how beards still dont move when people talk.

when it came to the character faces the only real problem i had was with the zoning in and out via the dialogue.....and the lack of voice choices

i didnt think they were to bad looking

as far as war paint and scars to me that was waste of resources that they could have put on something else...crafting,dungeon maker ,etc.

Yes. Worse than in early access. At this point it feels purposeful.
Also only 2 male and 2 female voices that are usable.

What do you mean usable? There are 3 male and 3 female voices that you can select from on character creation.

The third female voice is actually one of the three male voices

Hah, presume that is a bug then. I doubt they did just 2 female voices and then fudged a male one in as the third. If they only have 2 female voices then better they disable the third voice.

There are definitely 3 different male voices though, not 2 - just checked in the character creator.

Its not a bug. The 3rd voice was intended be non-gender specific so its used for both male and female.

You got a dev quote on that?

I mean, they do have the gender pronoun thing, so its likely, but then why put it specifically under female? And why does it sound male?

Personally I think they should fix the faces first. Honestly, there must be a mod or something to do so.
