The faces are alright; it's everything else that's the problem. Of the 6 images, 4 have ridiculous stuff on their hair/head, 3 have ridiculous hair color, 2 have inappropriate eye colors, and at least 4 have ridiculous facial paint/tattoos.
(((You))) forgot the part where there's not a single White male. Curious.
the bottom right isn't? could also have transitioned from white male tho
I'm sure it's a bottom, but I meant a non-faggot/non-tranny White male.

Seriously who is this shit for? No Grand Story. No In-Depth Mechanics. No Romances. No Class variety. Medicore Graphics. There is no audience for this game.
Yeah, I was reading through that article and they're really not selling it to me. All I got from it was "You can make choices!" ... okay? Anything else? Not even a stupid gimmick? It screams status quo.

I wasn't agreeing with the issues he found but UI is so dull I was waiting to see what he produces. Then I hear "I drew inspiration from the awesome Skyrim" and closed the video. Fuck you for linking it.
He also brought up BG3. I'm convinced that Youtubers are the most braindead demographic on the internet.

>godlike features
As a Pagan I've seen many depictions of gods in my life, but none of them looked like shriveled up old fruit left to grow moldy in the sun.
Every single one of these faces looks like it's been infected with a parasitic fungus that's slowly taking over their skin.

What the fuck kind of drug did the art designer take?

That's the point I guess. From what I remember the god who gave you its features is unknown but connected to what's happening in the area which is similar to "parasitic fungus that's slowly taking over..." living things.

Its their convenient choice to make it THE FUNGUS GOD so NPCs can comment on player's rainbow colored features.

It's for the sake of visual fidelity.

remember the previous lot? could almost say it's a slight improvement tbh

(oh, also want to remind people that there were codexers posting in this very thread who said TOW faces/art/hair wasn't "woke" and called people crazy for pointing it out)

The 'Obsidian face'.
"You look like an Obsidian NPC" has become one of the worst insults.

Ugliness of this calibre can't be excused by some fungus queer lore. It's an attack upon beauty as mindfucked lefties are always inclined to do.

A Japanese fungus god would be spread across the entire cute>hot spectrum.

>announce game as a Skyrim clone to tap into the untapped audience of people who want more open world RPGs (very starved audience, every indie game that clones Elder Scrolls does well because of how rare they are)
>early marketing is all about hyping it up as Obsidian's answer to The Elder Scrolls
>a short time before release, completely change tune and say "Yeah we're not actually open world and that's a good thing btw"

This game is so cooked it's incredible
