Way too late and useless, but: Default eyebrows and facial hair are a texture under your actual eyebrows and facial hair, and are dependent on their density settings.
I kind of hate the game, but the character creator is cool.
-
Its UI is atrocious.
... but probably still better than the actual game's UI.
-
@blakeyrat I wish MMOs would hire UX experts to not make them all have such amazingly bad UI. BDO is probably the worst, in that there are like 10k things you may never encounter than you can do.
-
ESO has a bug right now where tons of Battlegrounds groups either fail or enter the game with fewer than 4 teammembers because, according to the game, "a player cancelled". I'm 99.9% convinced this happens not because of a bug, but because the UI won't show the "enter battlegrounds" notice if certain dialogs are open-- notably the dialog you use to queue up for Battlegrounds!
I mean that is a bug, all UI problems are bugs, but you get my point.
Other than MMOs, another "game being widely hyped and praised despite having a godawful UI" is Factorio. Ugh. I gave up on that mess like 5 minutes in.
-
@blakeyrat Factorio's UI was never a problem for me for some reason, though it is admittedly fairly basic. Pretty much everything was under the E or T key menus, which the game tells you about initially, and the rest was, for me, fairly intuitive.
But they definitely need work. The UI is definitely the low point of the game.

OMG SWORD OF VERMILLION!
I have fond (though admittedly nostalgic-blurred) memories of that game. I picked it up-- it was used, but not super cheap, so probably '92 or '93-- so I would have been 14 or 15. It would have been after I beat all Phantasy Star II, so I was looking for another RPG to play. If it had those blue menus, I was in!
The combat drew me right in. Maybe because it was such a stark change from the menu-driven combat of most RPGs at the time. Action combat! Woo hoo! Sure, as Blakey is learning, the hit detection is a bit crap, but at least by early 90s standard, it was a fun experience. If I recall correctly, the best strategy is to be in front of and just below an enemy, keeping a distance between you and them, and try to hit them on the upswing of the sword. Charging right at the enemy will almost always result in a mutual hit.
I was also really into the story at the time. This may have been my first "regular dude is actually PrinceKingWarrior" story, so teenage me might have been a bit more impressed with it. But the first missions are dethrone a pretender king and rescue a town of age-drained people. Was really cool at the time.
Having fun watching Blakey play this. If I recall correctly, the "SEEK" function lets you search for hidden treasure and secret passages. Like, some of the town tiles actually have hidden stuff. I can't remember if there's anything plot critical to do with SEEK.

Yes, more Sword of Vermillion!
Heck, I remember being so enamored with the combat system, that I actually made a rudimentary recreation of it in QBasic using ASCII graphics. The hit detection was better, but the AI was pretty much "swarm the player". Ah, programming on a 286...
-
Also, @blakeyrat : I'm pretty sure the random encounter frequency is an emulator glitch. I'm going off memory, obviously, but I remember combat being way less frequent-- like 1/10th the amount you're getting.

@blakeyrat I liked that game, but I never ended up finishing it, for some reason.
-
@cartman82 It's cute, it's like a mix between a Sierra-style game and a Wizardry-style game.
I actually bought it because the third game in the series is an unique FPS I've wanted to replay for like a decade. For most of that time I couldn't remember the game's name.
