Did I miss something in the patch notes that tells why almost everyone has a new look? Even some of the bookmarked characters have new looks and everything with no mods or anything.


This is what the starting screen on 867 looks like for me

Yet this is how Alfred looks in game

Al.jpg


And this is Bjorn Ironside

There's a big difference between what they used to look like and how they look now and these aren't the only characters that I've seen that have changed a lot in 867. Mind you I have no mods and all my files have already been checked with the new patch

So many beards missing!!! Also half of the Orthodox priests are now shaved. smh

It appears that a hidden razor was probably included in the patch. :p

iirc didnt all of those characters have "handcrafted" appearances as "historical characters" or such?

maybe the update broke the tag and its regenerating them at game-start giving the new looks instead of their premade?

About Alfred: I think the beard grows later.


I played as him for 5 years and never got a beard. Also his brother (?), the guy who normally owes wessex looks totally different and so do so many other people. Like tons of spouses of other kingdoms look different than they have since the game came out. It feels like most of the starting women got uglier

I think it's just the hairstyles/beards that have changed. The faces are the exact same.

EDIT: I'm wrong, faces/body types are changed too.

I noticed some Houses coat of arms and motto changed as well when starting in 867, for dynasties and houses not mentionned in the patch notes.

Do they have scripted DNA? If not, it's probably not a bug, since the RNG for appearance and CoA seems to have changed.

I don't think this is a bug, just a change.

The "legendary" characters still look the same every time you generate a new game, but as you've mentioned some of them do look different. Something Paradox didn't fully go into detail about in patch notes is that they tweaked the database - They did mention that double inheritable trait characters have been removed (like the greek Eudokia in 867), but beyond that they also removed several other high stat characters (RIP Budli the godlike norse marshal and Einarr the genius grey eminence...).

This bit was also mentioned in the patch notes:
"Added ethnicities for East African, South Indian and Slavic, and Arctic/Circumpolar".
Maybe this affected the generation of characters in general?

It seems to me that every character in my game looks slightly different after the patch. Not saying its a good thing or a bad thing, but it definitely noticeable.

Am I the only one finding those pixelated, rough edges on the characters quite annoying? I noticed it when they shared pictures from the development months ago but I thought it wouldn't have been in the final game. I'm not an expert in graphics stuff but I feel like that kind of stuff has already been overcome in gaming, why is it still in CK3?

I've circled the nose to show what I'm talking about but you can easily find plenty of those pixelated edges on your own, and it's not just the screenshot because I've seen it in the actual game as well. I'm surprised I've never seen anyone talking about it, they did an amazing job with 3d characters, only then to have pixels and rough edges all over the place. I've noticed similar rough edges on IR characters as well
