It could be as simple as "We have a cool concept, so choose a scan model from our database to start from, and modify it to match the concept"-- for all anyone knows. I don't see why attractiveness on its own would even be a consideration; the vibe is the thing. Unless it's just meant to be a sexy hot character, which as…
sweet baby inc is one of those, 'but why?' companies. Games were already inclusive long before they arrived on the scene. For instance in Morrowind, you have a transexual god, furries, black & white & yellow (high elves), all living in harmony. Meanwhile one of the top modders who made some of my favourite mods of my…
i think you've demonstrated why having fewer inputs is probably for the better. you are a single person and have pages of opinions about a character. multiply that by hundreds or thousands of fans and what is the character designer going to do with all of that? a programmer builds a tool to search all the responses and…
Whether the original face needed modifying or not...You can't really say that without knowing what they had in mind. Evidently, they didn't think a perfect replica would quite fit what they had in mind. I don't think that's a fault. Most or all AAA games now seem to use scans as base material, and real people as motion…
"I do wonder why they didn't consider a 1:1 scan over the modifications done. Or if they tried to look into feedback before making this decision which turned out to be quite polarising." Because they probably had the design down and done ahead of casting someone. It's just not a movie after all. Why do they have actors…
The character doesn't really look a ton like the scan, but I think the character looks fine-- I like the character's vibe, which fits right in with the retro futurism of starwars-- and not really sure how you can "disagree" with a chin cleft. People have them, they exist. It's just a choice. Idk. I try not to read much…
Wha?? Am I in the minority in thinking the character looks great!? I especially like her hair. It immediately gave off 70's Farrah Fawcett vibes, which would fit into the era of the original trilogy, but still looks modern and fresh. Don't know if that was intentional on their part, but felt like a cool design detail to…
No, they're full of shit. As usual. She's part of an actual, organised army, with a steady source of food and facilities to work out in, which she's shown to be extremely dedicated to. Like, this clip right here. Whole arse gym. She's even shown to be at the top of the leaderboard for her bench press. They're full of…
I think this is what is irking most moderate reviewers about Ubisofts approach. They are seeing it as, "the scan already had what we felt was appealing so why bother changing the face at all, what did it add to the game?" Otherwise you'll have people trying to build connections between employee conduct and the character…
I don't think what you want to do with Ro Laren is at all comparable, honestly. One on hand, you have an actual, finished character with an established appearance.On the other hand, they didn't have any finished character, and apparently decided to use that person as a base upon which to establish their character's…
