That almond-shaped 45-degree-angle eye they use is practically a trademark and it was weird in 3E.I don't think they're particularly too "human-looking" personally as much as literally all the faces for all the races (including humans) trend hard towards the "boring-looking". I remember the devs complaining that people tended to make boring-looking characters (lot of brown-haired pale-skinned human males), which is like, kind of fair, but also, guys, you made some intensely boring-looking faces. Like relatively few faces that people would say were beautiful, ugly, handsome, or even striking. A lot of faces that you just shrug at.And this issue is compounded because there are no face slider nor face options at all.Which is almost unheard-of in actual CRPGs. It's usually restricted to ARPGs, ancient MMOs (like, originating pre-2005) and strategy games, and even some of them do better!So like I get how you're expressing this issue, but I don't think it's underlying issue. The underlying issue is even where the faces don't look human, they're just not fundamentally very interesting, and you can't modify them to make them interesting. You might contrast them with what we've seen of Diablo 4, or even Diablo Immortal on mobile phones! Both of them also you fixed faces, and they're entirely human, but the faces are far more interesting, with far more character and far more striking/handsome/etc.On the upside, the "insufficiently alien" issue will probably be solved nigh-instantly with a mod. Whereas the "no face sliders" issue will be forever.</blockquote>
