You wanna elaborate on said vandalism?
ive heard such rumors but i considered them a bit stupid.
why make somehting good and then ruin it?

I remember an old interview where one of the developers said that they left some things delibratley jarring because... something about making it too good would make it unrealistic?

I kind of brushed it off as trying to make an excuse and sell a bug as a feature.

The general consensus back in the day was that Bioware had massive financial problems and replaced some of their veteran developers with rookies straight of the university that just didnt quite got what it take to do tripple A level graphics, especialy when it came to the animations.


But when it come sto the female characters, one cannot help but wonder.
Supposedly, the faces were 3D scanned, so why would they look so much worse than the... real people? not just in attractiveness but in facial proportions and overall not looking very human.
There were also some issues like the character creator at launch not having certain options for seemingly no reason whatsoever such as not having any light skin tones.
