The preview version just received a 30 GB patch (!) on Steam. I'll check it out to see if it changes/improves anything substantial.

They seem to have slightly updated Nyra and Caja's hair and face compared to pre-patch, so there's bound to be more changes around as well. And possibly even more to come before release day.

I think I'll start a new game altogether to see what else they've updated.

So they uglified the ladies in this game too? :decline:

Is it woketry or just incompetence?

People say that those faces are most likely the result of using a new facial animation middelware called faceware. Since people kept complaining about their bad animations.

My guess is that they probably have had issues with implementing it properly in their own proprietary engine. With the result that they now have decent animations but worse faces...

The more interesting issue is that Elex 2 has black NCPs, just like every other PB game before except Elex. So either Elex didn't have them due to budget constrains or it was a deliberate choice and their new owners requested them for Elex 2.

Good. I hope they are not immortal, right?

As a general rule, don't go into the Steam forums, ever, for any reason.

Preview version? Do pre-orders get access to this? Was planning on buying it pretty soon along with Elden Ring, but if I can play some already I'll just get it now. ELEX 1 has been GOTY every single year since time immemorial.

Yeah. Although, especially for more obscure games, it's the only place to find details on game mechanics. :(
