Just something I want to share this because some people are talking about the art style and it has bothered me for years.
One of the things I've always hated about CoC2 (and other games in this genre, especially CoC2/TiTS) is that the art style is so inconsistent, for me the first impression of the character (being the art, bust or portrait) is how I'll see them from now on, a lot of characters in CoC2 that I would probably like just don't click because of how bad or out of place the art is to me (of course the writing was also a big part of it, but for my monkey brain, the art is the main priority). Why not just keep one main artist to maintain consistency, or have a team of multiple artists working together to keep that art style consistent? (I know it's because they have so many characters that one guy probably wouldn't be enough, but I still hate it).
I don't hate Moira art style, in fact I think it fits perfectly in CoC2 (some of you will probably want to kill me for saying this, but I think Moira should be the main person when it comes to the game's art style), maybe it's because there are so many busts made by Moira in the game already but I don't know, I like Moira stuff.
I know it's a silly thing to worry about in a text-based game, but when the game has that option, why not at least make it consistent? especially in this game where they clearly want you to see what the character looks like with that big ass bust on the side.
Maybe it's my problem, but anyway, I just wanted to share this.
