All graphical engines are much less able to create proper child head, then adult head. I can only guess why it is. They could place a lot of motion sensor on face of adult and capture its grimace. Conversion of it on childe face is flawed however.

as an adult "she" looks not that better tbh

This... is 100% inaccurate.

The problem is they didn't get a kid to play the kid or do the facial model.

They made the face in some 3d software and used an adult woman for motion capture the rigging. This'd be her.

I'm not sure where you got this "graphics engines can't model childrens heads" ♥♥♥♥, but, holy god is it wrong.

They probably can't get a child into the role because there are laws that protect children, so this is the next best thing.

I'd rather they created this image of a child from an adult actor rather than none at all (as the only other alternative), so i'm not complaining about it.

You realize child actors have been a thing since the dawn of film, right? Hell, predates it with stage productions.

They COULD get someone. They just didn't. Probably because kids are a pain to work with.

Your scum comment, where you ignore part of my post and then wrote exactly same thing is quite low.

I focused on the part where you made the idiotic claim. Then provided actual information on who did the motion capture.

You were wrong.

And?

Protects doesn't mean they don't exist.

But those laws don't protect children from being child actors. It's possible you never watched a film or TV series in your life, so I'll assure you: those kids on screen aren't adult dwarfs.
It's true they can't work after 10 PM, though, no more than 8 hours a day, and no more than 48 hours per week.

Also, I for one think Aloy as a kid looks cute. And she was played by the daughter of one of the game's creators.
