I don't know why people keep throwing my name around or accusing me of racism when all I had done was get upset about what Larian themselves have stated and written as per this article:
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/20...e-faces-of-eight-races-for-early-access/I have stopped making connections to real world issues since I was asked to, however note that the OP in this thread did also make this connection, so it was an on topic discussion:
... but Asians are human, and elves are not.
Neither me, the OP, or anyone else are making these connections. Larian themselves however have:
“We decided to use scanned faces in our production to create characters that were as realistic as possible. We scanned 40 people of different ages and ethnicity. While scouting for models we focused on features that would fit our fantasy races and we looked for faces that either had something unique about them or were very versatile to fit different characters.” Dubrovina says those 40 faces became the starting points for a total of 150 faces Larian created for the game.
People are simply trying to say that we not only do not like this decision, and that I personally find it highly offensive, but this design choice has evidently not created good results, mainly due to the fact that people are not fantasy races.
We would prefer the traditional method of either fully customisable characters, and / or hand crafted faces created by artists, as it is not only tried, tested and long proven to create better results, but this new method that Larian have used has comparatively created far inferior faces than would otherwise be possible.
I do not like any of the faces I can choose, and this prevents me from playing most of the races, not just limited to elves.
I would at least like to have the option to handcraft my own characters.
