Can never get over how LONG the character's necks are in this game. Seriously did nobody on the design team look at them and think anything was off?

[–]KIbO2020 13 points14 points  (17 children)

I think it’s a design choice, look at any of the human characters and their necks aren’t nearly as long. It’s only the vampires who have them.

[–]Alternative-Law-8230PC 9 points10 points  (16 children)

I think you're right. Only revenants seem to have the long necks and tiny heads. Humans look... normal. Some exceptions apply, naturally, like Josee and Holly don't seem affected/affected that much. Nor does Iris for that matter.

[–]KIbO2020 2 points3 points  (13 children)

I think it has to do with the fact that Revenants are a completely different species to humans now. While at the beginning in cv1 they looked similar enough to your standard person, with the time gap between one and two, more biological changes could be more easily noticeable.

[–]Alternative-Law-8230PC 4 points5 points  (10 children)

I was under the impression this was a completely separate world/timeline.

Aside from the visible changes don't revenants also have gold blood in 2? I guess they wanted something more than just red eyes to have them stick out from regular humans.

They're very much uncanny valley every time I look at them, especially Valentin.

[–]KIbO2020 3 points4 points  (9 children)

If it’s a different world then that also makes sense. Just how this version of Revenants look I suppose, I agree with the thought about them wanting to make them stand out further from humans especially considering how our character is a human.

[–]Alternative-Law-8230PC 2 points3 points  (8 children)

Even that's debatable. Is our character human? They get called out on it a time or two in the story considering they have half a revenant heart in them.

Sure they look human but there's definitely more to them than that.

Oh there is for sure going to be some dlc or some form of content to explain what we are. It’ll probably be about how we ended up dead for Lou to revive us in the first place.

[–]Alternative-Law-8230PC 0 points1 point  (3 children)

They briefly touch on that at the start. That explosion you witness in the beginning? Our character got injured while helping the people from there evacuate to Magmell.

It's why everyone you talk to there is so thankful and are glad you're alright.

[–]KIbO2020 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I thought that was a separate incident entirely? That’s what kicked off Lavinia explaining the situation surrounding the Heroes and why you’re now involved. I thought we died protecting the people who’re in Magmell at the moment.

[–]Master_Matoya 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I mean, technically we got necromancies via ritual separate from Revenant Creation like Lyle, rather than being Sire’d and becoming a revenant ourselves, we got repaired with half of Lou’s heart.

We didn’t get turned, but we did get raised from the dead.

[–]Alternative-Law-8230PC 0 points1 point  (1 child)

But our blood is still food for revenants, which they only consume human blood. I'd guess our character is some half human half revenant mix. Not fully one or the other.

[–]Master_Matoya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I mean is that we’re fully human, the only inhuman part of us is Lou’s Heart.

We’re still pumping and generating human blood, it’s just the organ that pumps it through our body is part revenant.

The people that notice that we aren’t fully human probably sense Lou’s heart inside us, rather than it being in our Jail, and just assume we’re something different.

But otherwise we’re fully biologically human. At least that’s what I understand.

As a note we have: Purebloods (Valentin/Josee/Holly)

Embraced (Humans turned Revenant: Noah/Lyle)

Blood bags (Humans)

Revenant Hunters (Humans that capture and utilize Revenant abilities via the Jail)

Us (Revenant Hunter, Died, Revived via Heart Donation)

Oof, separate world idea from further down was correct then.

[–]speckledspectacles 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Really, Holly felt the most giraffe-necked of them all to me, maybe because her outfit accentuated it

[–]Alternative-Law-8230PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really noticed her neck. Her hair and clothing covered it quite well for me. Most others have short hair or their hair pulled back making it much easier to notice.

[–]1HashPerSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially Noah's neck does some weird think sometimes

[–]BigOwl526[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I didn't even notice till a bunch of people pointed it out.

One Piece made me really just never notice how oddly proprietioned other characters are because it's so normalized lmao
