Change the humans back

[Moa Rider]

The new human models look horrendous and don't fit the style of Stellaris at all. I thought that there was going to be MORE phenotypes to stop every leader from looking like the same guy with different hairstyles. Now ever phenotype looks exactly the same. They all look like the same man or woman with different skin tones.
Everything else about Overlord and the new update is good, but Paradox dropped the ball with these new Humans. If Paradox can't take the hint, hopefully modders will probably fix it.

UPDATE (2021)
Since the 3.1 Stellaris update, etc...
Its a blatant lie, now...

As of the 3.1 update for Stellaris, the Humanoids Species Pack has received so much new content that it’s practically inhuman! Two unique humanoid civics and a new humanoid origin are now included, alongside the glorious additions previously made by community modder Silfae. These additions are available now at no extra cost in the Humanoid Species Pack!

Which part of it is a lie?

Not really. The non-human portraits to me looked well-done and creative. The human portraits looked awful and like they couldn't care less, just all clones of each other with little color or sex variation. The human art was really off-putting, like I said. Depressing, even. And it made me question right away if I even wanted to play the game I just bought, because if so little care had been put into the avatars, what else was I in for?

I was shocked that this was a Paradox game, just having come from my first Paradox game being Crusader Kings 3 where you can create your own avatar. I didn't expect to find that same level of artistic creation available to player here in this game, too (although that would be fantastic to be able to create any kind of human or non-human avatar you could want to create!), but I certainly didn't expect copy/ paste human avatars that were badly done and seemed like they wanted to be one size fits all (hint: one size does not fit all).

Well, technically, they DID add some new ones, even though they all look alike AND they apparently took all of the old ones away. That's corporate-speak for you. The thing is that I purchased only the vanilla/ base game the other day, and so I shouldn't be subjected to those new changes that look like they are part of a for-pay DLC package. But I was subjected to them anyway. What does that tell you?

The legacy Human portraits are now available as an option in empire creation.
