Russian Facepack DLC

[NexusSix]

First I bought it and downloaded it..... wow...
I can not belive it Paradox...... these look like a 5 year old has been let loose on Paint. The women are also a utter joke. Sure you might have to make thier dress look more russian but you have just gone and made them look in fairness, retarded.

Now, how do set a new personal record for speed removal of this hideous and farceical DLC ? ( im not going to even bother asking for a refund as I know it wont happen )

You can just turn them off in the splash screen.

Gotta agree though, they're horrific.

When you start the game and that Launcher window appears, go into the DLC section and untick the 'Russian Faces' checkbox. That will disable it, as for UNINSTALLING, Im actually not sure, short of uninstalling the whole game and reinstalling without it.

Someone might know if its possible. Might be as simple as deleting it from the DLC folder in the game root.

Quite a few people seem to share your view, Im not one of them mind you, they seem ok to me, and look different to the vanilla at least, but hey, Horses for courses.

I actually think they're not that bad, and I think in particular the age lines and the clothes are really well-done, although all in all the DLC is certainly not as good as the vanilla or Mongol portraits in my opinion. But to each their own, of course.

I think you can uninstall it by deleting certain files in the DLC folder in the Crusader Kings II folder, although I don't knwo if this will cause further problems.

Thanks guys, faces turned off. I honestly do not think without exagheration I looked at these faces for longer than about 2 minutes. Congrats Paradox, I think this must possibly be the #1 worst DLC ever released for anything ! ( Might impressive )
Although having Aztecs invade is equally keyboard smashingly rubbish ( although I didnt even bother buying this as like another poster said horses for courses )

Now Republics again, not my cup of tea, I will at least acknowledge as a step in the right direction. For me I still say bring the Catholic church to life ! ( Sort out the College of Cardinals make them and the pope matter !! )

Old Russians looks now like zombies, with their weird skin.

Look at a pic of Vladimir Putin and then look back at the Russian portraits, in my opinion thats whom they were based off of.

also dont be so dramatic

I agree, they all look too much like Putin. Putin does look very Russian but there is much more diversity in Russian faces than portrayed in the Russian Facepack DLC.

I love the hair, beard, clothing.. the only thing that bugs me is the chins/jawlines. Far too exaggerated and ruins the general face shape CK2 goes for.

If they were just reduced a little to between where it is now and vanilla levels it'd look a lot better.

The female faces are really horrendous in this Russian faces pack. They are much uglier than the western european ones, while in the real world the situation tends to be the opposite one in general, albeit not as pronounced, of course.

By the way, Putin is not typically Russian in appearance, scientists believe that his appearance is closer to the Finno-Ugric type.

Does anybody know how to disable the new faces, while keeping the clothes?

Some of the combinations are unfortunate. Scratch that, a number to most of the combinations are unfortunate. However, I find that pretty Russian women are possible with the Ruler Designer, so clearly the parts aren't inherently bad.

IMO Paradox doesn't like Russian Girls (PI accepted this dlc as finished and ready to release).
They look so ugly in this DLC, especially this one with really big neck and vampire eyes... omg horrible ;D

Maybe they will fix some of them in next patch or increase amount of new possible features (necks, eyes, chins) so the chance to get a monster girl will be lower ;D
but PI doesn't like to add new things in already released DLCs...

Some people think they're better than the other facepacks, some people think they're worse. I'm going to have to side with the I quite like them camp though.

 

[riknap]

to be fair, the male faces are quite awesome and have a rugged feel to them.
it's just that this ruggedness got ported to making the females, which makes the female faces awful instead. they feel like transvestites or cross dressers instead.

there was a post somewhere wherein the user modified the faces so that the female faces used the western chins and necks instead of the DLC stuff, and they actually look relatively pretty. I think it's in the BLC thread.

 

[repent]

I like them. Sick of Vanilla faces.

This thread shows some screenshots of the men in female clothes that the DLC introduces:

The 50+ year old russian female faces remind me of the wraith from SGA. Incredibly cold and evil looking. That said, it's pretty cool.

 

[Grubnessul]

They're not as bad as Mongol children. Those are horribly done.
