What happened to Aloy's face?

[TTV/madao_sensei]

What the hell happened to Aloy's face? Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it looks bad; the graphics are beautiful. But there are moments when Aloy's face seems a bit off to me. It doesn't look like it did in the first game – almost like it's swollen, I don't know. Maybe it's because I just finished playing Horizon Zero Dawn. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I going crazy?

yea, they made her face fat in this one

No she looks older of course. Its still pretty.

Woke happened. You are not crazy, there are dozen of comparisons from various angles and cutscenes.

We can only hope some modders will fix this mess.

I've taken it to mean she has become adult, the curse of age xD

Her face is equal to someone eating junk food all day, everyday with 0 exercises. Which is a total opposite of who Aloy is. A fierce fighter and athlete since her childhood.

Story-wise Forbidden West takes only 6 months after original game.

Interesting that it is only 6 months after the original game. I don't recall how long the original game was though. Once she was full grown in the original she did not age at all. I definitely think her appearance change is due to age though, because she does look different. Maybe depending on how long the original time frame was, it was a design decision to age her in this one.

So far as I know in horizon there isn't someone able to make crack yet so the she is older explaination doesn't kick it here. It's 6 months lol.

I really don't care if they tried to cater to some specific demographic since gameplay>everything else. But sometimes obvious is just obvious.

No, the developers admitted they made her more masculine.

well then you worry about it .Her body is in no way like what you describe. She is completelly athletic in every way. SO I have no idea what your talking about. I choose to just enjoy a great game. Its a dumb thing to complain about. Very superficial. Shes not pretty enough for me...Waahhh.

Wow a female getting older. Men can be such pigs.

Gameplay may be the "most important" but this game is bombarding player with hundreds of cutscenes every 5 minutes pointing at her face. It is not some random npc or first person shooter where you will see it once per hour or not at all.

Look at before and after pics of Veterans who've spent extended time in combat. Some WWII and Vietnam vets aged a decade in six months. Also, keep in mind this is a world that I am assuming lacks modern-day medicine. Harsh living conditions can also lead to accelerated aging/
However, I've barely noticed any differences. However, I am old enough to remember fapping to Lara Croft's Polygonal boobaloobas.

their face didn't become round and bloated no matter how much time they spent in combat
