It's pretty interesting to see just how much weight people put in characters being attractive. It would have been curious to see how solasta would have been received had they went with a more fantasy/anime style of character, like https://assetstorev1-prd-cdn.unity3d.com/key-image/d52c6b54-6e67-42ad-9cb4-dabf358471ac.webp which are just from a $60 character pack from the unity store instead of trying to make the characters realistic but ending up looking just off somehow.

I don't mind the character design, but i'd be lying if i said that i wouldn't mind the characters in the link i provided over the ones in solasta right now.

Also, i'd be curious to see how BG3 would have been received had the characters not been as attractive as they are. I know that the entire Astarion fangirl/boy club would not exist.
