One little thing though relating to the in game cinematics, can you please, and I guess I'm speaking for the majority of people here, would you NOT use whoever did Danikas voice in the future as if my characters going to look a bit different with moving lips, the last thing any of us want is for it to sound like her as well, as I don't think we could bear it |

EDIT: Nevermind, I misread your post :P -- I think for future cinematics, the "heros'" (us) voices will be the same as in Factions and Prophecies. |

Now, changes are necessary in order to implement a much-requested feature: Lip synching for the in-game cinematics. This feature requires a redo of the faces, a "rewiring" if you will, that allows the lips to move, and indeed the whole face to be animated during speech.
However, with these desired changes came a few inadvertent alterations, and about those, players have expressed some concerns. Here is some information for you. There are several key elements involved in what was modified and I thought you'd find this interesting:
 ) Please keep in mind that with the move to animated faces, in some instances it will not be possible for them to be pixel-to-pixel identical to the original face. Most third-party observers would say that the art is better, and the appearance more pleasing, but we appreciate that that opinion may not be shared by all. The artists will work hard to return the looks that you've selected as much as is humanly and programmatically possible. In any regard, the whole team is working diligently to correct this situation. We ask for your support as we work to make the appropriate and feasible amendments as quickly as possible. |

As noted by someone else earlier, this face also has the grey triangles next to her lips. I think they're trying to allow for our characters to speak in cinemas, but I really hope that having visible weird grey marks isn't necessary I know that if they don't fix this, I will just have to get used to it, but my monk is by far my favorite character. I noticed her face looked wrong immediately after the update. |
