Species need more images, and Aunt Lori's style is jarring
I have maybe less than 20 hours in the game, and having a lot of fun. However I have 2 points related to the drawing style/graphics of the game;

1) The species/races are actually interesting, but it feels kind of dull to have only one still image of all of them. I'm referring of course to their profiles/avatars in the top left. Even zooming in doesn't give much detail. I think merely adding a couple of different images that denote higher resolve and lower resolve would add a bit of variety. Or maybe have the different settlers have different randomized profiles. I think it's a minor step that would a lot of life.

2) Aunt Lori's whole style is odd. It's not necessarily bad, it just doesn't fit with the rest of the game, as if she was designed with by a different team. Not only is the style vastly different, it feels odd reading "*smiles gently*" or "*chuckles quietly*", as if I'm reading a novel. Removing these descriptors altogether would be an improvement. Another improvement would be to draw her in the style of the species' themselves.

That's all. Love the game, but these two points kind of stick out.
