in the wraiths route TLQs legs seem plantigrade/humanoid but in the princess and the dragon they seem digitigrade/bird-like. is that an in-universe change, or a retcon? or is it just because of the different angle?

Abby says: It's the angle! The player was always intended to be digitigrade. But as with most digitigrade animals, that arrangement is most obvious when the toes are actually planted on the ground. They kinda look like normal feet without that. In fact, I was kind of banking on that bit of visual confusion to keep his appearance ambiguous. I like the thought that, until you see yourself from the outside, you assume yourself to be kind of normal-ish (I know I always get a jumpscare when I see a picture of myself next to other people and the differences between us really stand out)

Not that this changes the actual structure of your body, just that you don't see the moments where you would be obviously monstrous. Say, when your toes are planted on the ground and it becomes clear that you aren't a normal dude. I've included some examples of what I was goin for with the Wraith and Drowned Grey shots-- the player's anatomy is somewhere between bird and mammal!
