I’ve seen a lot of comments on the forums about people being disappointed with the faces available in NWN2. After having spent some time trying to choose one for Robin, I’m starting to empathize with that sentiment. Remembering the limited selection of decent looking “heads” in NWN1 is helping me keep this in some perspective, but not entirely. One of the NWN2’s selling points is supposed to be its improved graphics, and the ability to support things like facial animations. So I was a little surprised that there weren’t more attractive head models currently available in the Electron toolset.

None of them fit Robin exactly. But I think I’ve finally narrowed it down to two choices, so I thought I’d post them and ask for reactions. The first one uses Aasimar head model #2, and the second one uses Half-Elf head model #5.

I’ll hold back mentioning my own thoughts and preference for now. But I get the impression of a somewhat different personality from each of these faces, and I was curious to know which one players preferred — and which one better fit their “mental image” of Robin.
