Quentin's face

Maybe most of the community does like new Quentin's face. I personally don't and I do personally prefer his old one over it. And while I don't really mind most of other changes that were done, since most of other face reworks were texture adjustments or slight changes, Quentin got completely reworked, it's absolutely not the same character. Old Quentin was unique, he didn't look like generic "anyone will like him" character and was interesting, he also did look sleep depraved which does suit his lore a lot.

My suggestion is to give everyone who did pay for dlc his old face as well so they are free to pick the one they personally prefer. I find it as best solution since it's actually paid dlc and most of the people weren't buying this new Quentin and some of them might've picked it cuz of his looks.

Also new one is more away from original that we had in movie, which can be another point to not like it.

    There's a lot of liscencing agreements and since we got this Quentin it means the liscence holders approved him, i doubt they would want to go back to goblin face.

    @Dito175, I don't doubt that they didn't just sneak those changes in, what I'm saying that he's more alienated from original which some people might not like. Plus I don't really see a problem in giving extra classic face to those that did buy dlc, since it's not even a new thing for developers to give original of a thing to those that did own it before. First and easiest examples of this that comes to my might are Traditional Karma, Trundle and Sejuani in League or infested Kubrow in Warframe. It's not big of a deal to just give him 1 extra face since they don't really have to even make it? I personally would even buy his old face if I'd had a choice.

    they should make this for old skins(the ones the reworked) so first variation like for example new variation or old, and when choose variation, you could change the cosmetic and look like when it was old, that way people change their characthers how they really like them, example: a kate main does not like the rework of kate, she goes to characther select, on top of the screen appears (variation:new) she changes it to old and there

    One of the reasons of the face reworks were to bring all models to the same technical level for maintenance, animations, future changes etc. They can’t just take the old faces and put them in without effort on bringing them to the same level.

    besides that, like what was said before, the license holder might very well be against inclusion of the old face.


    also he didn’t look sleep deprived. I know that this was the goal for old Quentin, but it was poorly executed and that face didn’t even look human. I understand that you are used to it and all. But looking at it objectively it just didn’t look good in any way. And he was never meant to look like the actor. Actually they probably tried to not get the actors likeness because of his statements on social media.

    That would be nice, but as person below said that would cause problem of faces being in different quality. I guess it's not the problem for people that actually do like old models and even would choose those over new ones, personally in most of older faces case i can see reason behind updating those (well except some of their cosmetics). If we talk old Feng vs new Feng I'm not gonna sit and compare her cosmetics, but if we compare default face new vs old you can see this terrible shadow near her eyes, so I see reason to update this detail for sure. Did they had to change cosmetics with this as well? Probably not, since most of cosmetics that were done for character seemed to have better quality in first place.

    the license holder might very well be against inclusion of the old face

    I can understand that sure, but if it's the case I would like to get notified about that too along side with news about change too. I'm pretty sure most of the people did buy Quentin as dlc with Freddy, not as character for Aurelic (I don't have statistics, so don't have my word for that xD it just looks more reasonable since dlc do get on discount and you get 2 characters in 1 + extra cosmetic) and when they were buying dlc they were looking at totally other thing, those Quentins are very very different things.

    it just didn’t look good in any way

    I don't want him to "look good" in normal understanding of good I guess. I know too things: 1. I wanna slap new Quentic cuz he looks do generic and uninteresting. 2. I would choose his old face not cuz it's simply different from most characters, but since I also like thematic of character looking very very tired.

    but it was poorly executed

    Yeah, I guess I would prefer this theme being updated and him look tired better, but I don't think they would redo whole face only cuz I asked them to xD So I find giving old face to people if it's possible to be better option since they don't have to do much to do that.
