Face models

[Rewand]

How many different character models are there? I seem to find the same people, over and over, exact same faces only different voices. It's a little immersion breaking, I just want everyone on my team to have unique faces. I've been re-rolling red talon operators for the past two hours and it's the same three guys over and over again. Is this intended?

Thanks, I have seen this and it does look good, but those don't show up in game for me for whatever reason! It's the same 5-6 faces on repeat out of ALL of those. Is there something wrong with the game? Are they map-related? I'm pretty new and playing on Providence Ridge, is that why everyone looks like they're related?

On the modding Discord are 2 downloads, one female and one male. They are full person models of every face in every full set of clothing they are seen in the game with, by clothing style. The downloads are right at the top of the discord Info channel here:

Thank you for the suggestion, I might have to look into that if my luck doesn't change. I was mainly wondering whether this was a bug, bad RNG or if there's anything I'm doing wrong since I see people playing on youtube with a bunch of models that I have never seen before. Does the map have to do anything with it? Or the fact that I'm in my very first playthrough? (with the two people you select for the tutorial, the soldier guy and the medic) Are the youtubers modding the models? lol.

-If you play the tutorial, those characters are with you until the end of that community, or they die or you exile them. After that in new games you can skip the tutorial and never see them again. You will have the opportunity to roll an roll and roll until you get the 3 starting character you want. My advice is roll just looking at the best traits, not the faces. They don't matter so much.

The downloads of the models in .pdf are just for informational purposes, just so you can see how big of a variety there is,

It is not luck... things are railroaded in story line, and first sandbox. Just play the game. Things will be fine. IF you read the THREAD I linked you would understand, that there are certain technical limitations of the face scans, which means certain features of humans do not appear... such as eye spacing.

That does not mean all the faces are the same. Just play enough to get off the railroad of tutorial play (yes story is tutorial play), and you will be fine.

It would be interesting if they did a DLC where you could get your face in the game or something.

I have read that thread, in fact it's the first thing that showed up when I tried looking for answers on google, but I really couldn't find an answer to MY question which is why I turned to steam discussions. I am very much keeping on playing the game and have no plans to stop anytime soon, I just want to know why everyone I'm bumping into is either the one hispanic looking guy I already have in my group, two different looking black dudes, one white dude I keep bumping into and two lady survivor variations. I know that I can re roll when starting a new community and I'm also aware that faces don't affect gameplay in any way and a god roll is a god roll regardless of face, but it matters to me, which is why I'm asking. Thank you both for the advice.
