Female Faces

[kylie ♥]

The female character faces all look 40 years old and look like they smelled something bad. The males look good and youthful. I'm so confused?

Can we please have better face options for the female characters? We also need makeup options.

Feminist or not we all agree the the female faces are messed up

Hmm regarding faces, I do notice when I open up the gear and equip hats on my character the eyes ends up being 'off' until you flip in and out and the animation of the eyes fixes itself.

This game has LOD problems, and since the character faces are using variables to adjust the shapes, perhaps someone bugged it and it ended up using the same value in the ingame render (to save on processing power to sync everyone's faces in a village or classroom at high details)?

[Kai]

Also this game is Unreal Engine 4, or has configuration files similar to that, so you could possibly adjust the LOD somehow.

From the screenshot I saw around, there seems to be an issue as to the base model used in-game to generate a female player character.

Normally, this kind of game has various "base" face models onto which you edit various things such as UVs masks (for displacements), morphs and bones. Then, in the game, the head is reconstructed based on those values onto the same base face model.

In the screenshot I have seen around, it's clear that the base model is not the same between the character creation and the game model. It's as if the base head model for the female character is stuck to some sort of default model (which might even be the same between the boy and girl, hence would explains the boyish kind-of-look of the in-game female character.)

Either the base head model for the female custom character is wrong or... the model is so much overly simplified (in compared to the character creation's one) that half of the small details are lost.

If owned on pc perhaps later modders can fix that.

You are just now catching on to this trend? This crap is done on purpose to fight the male gaze. This practice of ugly female characters have been around since at least Dragon Age Inquisition.

We should go back to the days of Mass Effect and Oblivion where everyone was equally hideous.

True could have been even worse.

Honestly the whole character customisation feels like it needs an overhaul like giving us more options than picking a general face shape. Give us more pale skin tones I'm pale in real life. And more hair styles especially long hair styles would be nice.

Welcome to the Western entertainment industry. Men are portrayed as young and virile, handsome even, while women are purposely made to be as unappealing as possible. Get used to it.

this is just what british people look like, sorry.

The CC for this game itself is just too weak and dull to offer any real creative outlook on creating your character. Took a while to settle on hair color myself because I couldn't actually customize how I wanted it to look.

Regarding how the female models looked, it is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ how all the females look 6-7/10 while the guys on average are 8+/10. I'm not rating how attractive these characters are (They're like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 15-year olds), just rating on how good the game models are. But yeah, I do assume it was done for some feminist/LGBT/woke or whatever reason considering it is the Harry Potter IP. If not, then it might just be the game's engine itself, I see this common for games using UE for some reason.

Funny enough, take any "female" preset and apply a male haircut to it. You can hardly distinguish that they are female. They all look like boys because they all have crooked noses, wide jaws, weird cheekbones, etc.

It is as if the devs purposefully decided to make females ugly.

That's what I noticed too. I'm not trying to point fingers but I assume a good number of the dev team working on the character models were women, nobody but them really like pretty boys afterall.

wasn't makeup deadly in the 1800s? lol. I think a few options were nice and she looks just as old as the cast of harry potter did in their fifth year

Only ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and actors wore makeup in 19th Century England.
