at least we're given far more options than NW...

I agree, so copy/pasting one line of code from one place to another so you can use a specific face on another race isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
And yes, I know a modder could probably do this very thing. However that in itself isn't a good counterargument as to why Larian couldn't do this themselves, especially considering they are going to let players change their appearance in the near future.

Finding the current faces a bit derpy seems to be a common complaint after all and most of us seem to have a "go-to" face option. I say we have the greatest chance of getting a head or two copied from one race to another (where those alternatives fit in lore-wise ofc), to increase player customization options, now that Larian are going to go through the character appearance code anyway.


[Persuation] So if we stop squabbling amongst eachother and just work together, we might have a shot at advocating for this change.
