Title: Unique portraits for important characters
Post by: TelasTheSecond on September 21, 2019, 09:07:21 am
Leo, Wyatt, Jonas and many others deserve their own unique  art.

As a sidenote, It's preferable to have the less important npc's with no portrait at all. The small description in the opening dialogue does the job way better than having a portrait witch is being used by 20+ other characters throughout the game.

We're updating the game little by little in that regard, giving the more important/interesting NPCs new models and portaits. In fact, we got a few new ones coming up in the next update.

You have a good point about the generic NPCs and their portraits. As a matter of fact, we've been discussing the same thing recently, as there is also a matter of cost/effort that goes into making portraits and the inherent limitations that this kind of approach imposes. All in all, things will stay as they are for now, at least for the base game, but we'll reconsider this in the future for sure. :)

There are already some.

Like Azif, Eiden, the slavic Freedrone fighter, that dude at the bar. In fact, there are already some. But like PhrygianDominant said :

So...just be patient. :P
