Codename_Force Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) I subscribed because I wanted to create a Twi'lek character, now I realized that I can't wear half of the armors I bought for it because the body skin color isn't the same as the head. It looks like a toy figure where I replaced the head with a different colored one. Is there a way to fix this or is this "normal"? (if it is normal then this looks just awful and stupid and should be changed) EDIT: Here is a screenshot of what I mean, there is a visible seam at the neckline: https://i.imgur.com/uUg3CE7.png Edited June 18, 2023 by Codename_Force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I know the effect you're talking about, but you really, really need to find better lighting to show it. Try taking those shots somewhere out in the open on Tatooine, in the bright neutral-coloured sun as opposed to somewhere where the overall lighting is the same colour as your character's skin. And it's because, in BioWare's own words, the Twi'lek appearance code was built by an insane person. Good luck with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but don't really feel like playing a character so far that I can reach Tatooine just to show a bug. Lighting might be bad but it's still definitely visible. Which makes it much worse even because you can ALWAYS see it, no matter the lighting Guess that means no Twi'lek chars for me then, it looks bad like some head / body mod-conflict in Skyrim or Fallout.

eabevella Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 You know when women put foundation on their faces but not their necks or even chest (especially when you wear clothes that show your shoulders and chest) and the color difference shows under daylight? That's what happen to your Twi'lek. Maybe you'll feel better if you think it this way. Happens to the best of us XD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwena Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Sadly, this is nothing new. I rummaged around and found a couple of old screencaps I took of this issue in 2014: https://imgur.com/0fCxakd https://imgur.com/woB5gMq I find it is somewhat less noticeable on lighter colored Twi'lek skins, but it is still visible in a lot of lighting. It seems to be that the texture quality for the body is lower than for the face/neck. It doesn't stop me from playing Twi'leks, but I avoid any tops that don't cover the neck "seam".
