Elden Ring - The NPCs have unique faces again

[@ZullietheWitch]

Edit: I need to correct a small error. Fia, Dung Eater, Gideon, and Rogier's eyelashes should all be 1 higher, and Knight Bernahl's eyelashes should be 2 higher. In the raw data, eyelashes, hair, beards, etc. don't match the numbers in the menu, so I had to do some manual editing and I apparently made a mistake with these five characters. Some of you are certain to ask, so I should clarify now. Only NPCs that use the player model have the same face customization as the player, meaning NPCs with unique models, like Melina, Ranni, or Rennala don't have facedata and can't have their faces copied.

Several characters have notable golden eyes. For example, most of the finger maidens do. This actually is said in the game, that people blessed by the erdtree have the gold luster in their eyes but when they became tarnished, it faded away.

One of the most evil character ever, I hated wyald lol

[@chillax319]

@@lotharschramm5000 Ironically he was one of the most "human" of the Apostles when it comes to his brand of evil. That's what makes people hate him even more because he does what would evil person do if they had the same power as Wyald has.

[@NeonSlice]

Sorceress Sellen looks amazing, definitely didn't expect her to look like that

[@sajinkahnalt]

Ok honestly I’m very impressed with how flexible the facial engine is. Like, even the craziest and goofiest faces you can make somehow still look “pretty freaking good” The software engineers and modelers should be proud of themselves

[@TheUltimateImposter11037]

It's kinda adorable how Rya shares the same hairstyle as her mother (Tanith).

[@Spidamonk]

Glad to see you back Zullie! Glad we were able to uncover Patches face. Was always a mystery to me

[@JackNewbie555]

Can't wait to see if Vyke got 2 versions of faces since you technically fight him in his prime as a Tarnished and him once he succumbed to the Frenzied Flame.

[@Lazypackmule]

Technically technically, you fight him the exact same both times, since the latter is an invasion which would have to be either a remnant of the past or him spirit walking to defend the location, while the former is his real current body in prison

[@ah-64apacheattackhelicopte21]

I so want to see vyke's face, like damnn

With how good some of these look, I wish we could have seen them unmasked in the game. Their looks have so much personality to them.

[@aralynvioletsassenberg]

Not sure this will be seen, but I just wanted to say thanks! Having this data really helped make better models for my characters and I really appreciate how helpful the data is. Sellen is my absolute favorite character and being able to see what she looks like was amazing!

Everyone of them looks beautiful! From made an amazing job giving these NPCs personalities of their own by just matching the face with their stories. I wonder if we will see these unused NPC in the DLC.

[@Deidusk]

I really really love the face designs they went with, almost all of them add so much personality to their character and fits so well with them

[@LunnainnsCoffeeBreak]

I found this format of data-sharing to be pretty decent, to be honest. Took me just minutes to make a face. I've seen on twitter some people prefering QR-codes, but honestly, that just sounds like a roundabout way to do this, especially since the QR-code will still just provide the same data.

[@xyan4866]

0:32 Fun fact: It could be speculated that Irina is in fact Hyetta, since Hyetta only appears once you've completed Irina's questline.

[@KieranH1317]

Possibly something similar to how Shabriri takes over Yura’s corpse?

[@frankvermillon9576]

I would assume its the same thing considering where her questline goes. Something something 3 fingers possessions

[@GrimJunior-fe6ik]

Speculated, but that doesn't explain why Irina's corpse remains while Hyetta is up and about.

[@victorprati7908]

Ah yes the "speculated fun fact"

[@Marxistnazi]

I didn't notice this in my first playthrough, and at the time wondering why theres a lot of blind girls running around.

[@admiralcat3809]

I like how all their faces look exactly how I imagined them. Fromsoft did a good job expressing their character's appearance with just their voices and personality.

[@hinkelstein1494]

Damn Rogier could get it. Well most seem very attractive.

[@AegisOfAthens]

The maiden at the Radhan Festival is named Therolina, you can summon her during the fight. She is actually sent there by Selivus, as you find her in his basement and she's one of the puppets you can get from him.

I'm only reassured in my choice of Fia as my waifu after seeing her this close and so clearly (I also love her quest line). But damn, Sellen's first form is really gorgeous, and "Dolores the sleeping arrow" is also super pretty! It's really interesting to see all these people up close and unmasked, it will really help with the immersion to clearly remember all of these unique faces.

[@tgco9732]

Coming back after the DLC, and damn, that unused NPC’s clothes are Igon’s clothes, how cool

Great video! Makes me wonder what some of the more minor characters like Vyke or Vargram look like unmasked.

Huh, normally, characters never quite line up with your vision of them, yet Dung Eater actually looks exactly like I envisioned him: like a man who does exactly as his name implies, which is eat dung
