Add faces?

[Allwynd]

Why not add faces to the characters? They look so bland and boring... who thought that was a good idea?

I was curious about this game, but lack of faces is too creepy for me.

For me it's not creepy, just makes the game feel "unfinished". Like, you play with a character and your character completely lacks identity. It's one of those weird artistic choices in games... like some games where your feet and hands aren't attached to your body, similar to the Rayman character, part of the reason I refuse to play any of the games, also Minecraft - probably a very good game, but the blocky art style completely turns me off.

Honestly, I feel the same way. I like the game overall, but the creepy faceless thing was too much. I get it was meant to be a style, but it just looks half unfinished, half nightmarish.
Would have preferred 5-6 preset faces (if it was a money issue) or helmets! Helmets could have saved money and kept us out of no-face nightmare. Maybe someone will make a face or helmet mod, until then, giving it a pass.

Even one generic face would be enough. Even Old School RuneScape with its outdated graphics has some very simplistic eyes, nose and mouth facial features and it looks better than this game.

You'll need to wait for the 'Ashen:Nose' and 'Ashen:Eyebrow' dlcs.

I bet each eyebrow and nose hair is a separate DLC.

You guys should take a look at this video

He explains why there are no faces. Besides, as he said in the video, faces are too descriptive for those kind of RP games.

It's because the devs looked at absolver and went "LETS COPY THOSE LOOKS!"

Should go look into Absolver, you don't get to see your face, but you do get to wear very fancy masks that you can change.

Yeah, at least you have a mask.

The graphics are heavily stylized. its clear that it doesn't work for you but do understand that the devs had a clear look they were going for and generally outdid themselves in the consistency of it. It was actually refreshing to find a game with visuals that leaned to the simple and streamlined rather than pointless realism.
