When I play a game I believe like it is important to feel like you are apart of that world. The current facial expressions and mannerisms of the customizable character are so stiff and lifeless that it feels like I'm playing as a robot trying to blend in among real people.
The constant tight lipped, closed smile drives me crazy, and putting their hands on their hips in every conversation like they just schooled you does not seem like the mannerisms of any real person I have ever met.
I would love to see some real expressions from my character: a smile that shows actual teeth, a laugh, a smirk, a sultry glance, a look of disgust, confusion, anger, fear, etc.
The companions all have great facial expressions ,and each has their own unique mannerisms that really bring them to life! I just also want that for my character. There have been one or two instances where my character did show emotion, but those instances are few and far between.
I hope this is just be because it is early access and its easier to place these movements and expressions into every conversation as a place holder but my fear is that its intentional. That in order to allow the player to interpret what type of emotion is behind each conversation choice they left the character's expressions as vague and noncommittal as possible. I don't know about other people, but I would much rather have a character that expresses a different emotion than one who doesn't express any at all.
Please, please, please let my character have some actual character and not be just a hollow shell devoid of any feeling in this vibrant virtual world.
Yeah I agree!
