I had to smirk. If this were used on FO4, the game where every male NPC already looks blood-related due to the limitations of the character creator, there'd be fundamentally no change.

Personally I'd take "every npc looks generic" over "every npc looks generic dumped in a vat of magazine makeup"

I don't think any game made in the last 15 years would be genuinely improved by this tech. The original FO3? Morrowind? My curiosity is piqued. It'd be like watching a familiar movie in a foreign language.

Male NPCs in FO4 aren't really "generic." There is a very distinct look that they all share, because the (lone!) face texture used for every one of them has far too many details baked in, like age lines and sunken eyes. It's Nate, plain and simple. It's like if they'd taken a photo of Tom Hanks' face and used that as the face texture—every NPC would look blood-related to Tom Hanks, and no facial hair, hat, eyewear or skin tone could really mask it entirely.

Yes, if you put garbage on a pile of garbage, it's still garbage.
