I don't understand why Larian is focusing on needless cosmetic stuff (some improvements, some like Raphael decidedly not) when bigger issues like gameplay exist. Devs need to look at the simplified leveling up and do something about it, not to mention add another difficulty layer. There's nothing difficult about Tactician.
Probably they have different specialisations in the development team. Some are writers, others tune the game engine, others are in charge of balancing. And then there is the hair stylist. He/she needs to have something to do too, you know.
