Ah, in a name of Cthulhu, thankfully portrait / posing thing is still here, after you reached station.
As somebody, who grew up with Poser renders hobby, i always pay attention to character customization options in games. Well, sole reason i tried BDO was it’s character editor. And after trying BDO i’m finally coming into Eve. Weird route, i know.
Ofc, i disagree with “who cares, meh” opinions. Small details here and there, like setting up lighting and pose/mimics adds more characterisation to you character (sorry for tautology). And things like that, which are “not practical” or “pointless”, they add to a soul of the game. Yeah, i feel very bad about Captain’s Quarter removal as well, though it was already removed when i joined. But even more, i’m angry about how Eve lost it’s original art direction with characters. Those cyberpunk characters from 00s were pure art… CCP could give an opportunity to somehow simulate them by providing much more options with hair, tattoos, visible implants, clothes, accsesoirs etc. etc. rather than what scarcity we currently have.
