She looked so fricking cool! I can't recall if there were any new female halfling heads (there was the odd new head I noticed for some races/genders), but the one I used was available in EA. It was one I didn't particularly like, but by the time it was aged up, scarred, with one eye a different colour than the other and one of the cool new hairdos (there aren't a lot of new ones, but there are a few) she looked really badass and quite different.

I wouldn't swear to anything on the proportions, and would need to see them side by side, but they seemed better. Certainly I didn't feel that the female halfling heads/faces were so oddly huge or their legs out of proportion to their bodies or their stance quite as unnatural. But I wouldn't totally swear that I wasn't just misremembering how bad they were. Or getting distracted by all the fancy new features available.

I also had a quick look at male dwarves, which was the other race/gender combo I thought was really oddly proportioned in EA, and I thought their chests might be looking slightly less overinflated. They still had ridiculously huge hands though!

I was trying not to get stuck in character creation for the whole time I was there, so confess I didn't check this out and just used her default hair. But overall, I think the colours did look better in the build in EA, and I certainly didn't see any of that weird almost whiteout stuff that started happening in the prologue in patch 9 so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that the hair colours will be better again as well.


I'll bundle these together, and you're going to be so disappointed in me

So, first of all, as a chooseable action, I only saw Sneak Attack as a main hand attack.

BUT it was there (as was Sneak Attack critical) in the reaction system. But due to a combo of the difficulty of getting advantage on attacks given aforementioned tweaks to stealth and flat out user error (I'd ticked "Ask" but not the separate tick to activate the reaction as a whole) I wasn't able to check whether the Sneak Attack damage would apply on an off-hand hit, and ran out of time just as I was trying to get this working. And because I was so busy trying to check it with the off hand I didn't even verify it with the main hand. (As I'd taken my rogue level second, I only had one combat to try this in.)

I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave you with the cliffhanger. Looks like the mechanic is there that could apply sneak attack damage on off hand attacks and AOOs, but I can't verify that it in fact does!
