Why you gotta call me out like that?!New Stan looks like someone who uses Arch Linux.
Maybe. But I'm not keen on his new puppy-dog eyes. It makes me worry he's going to become a male Holly, which I think would be a mistake. (Not because a male Holly would be a bad thing, just because the game already has Holly and Stan needs to be distinctive for more than his anatomy.) Hope for the best, I suppose.This is why you don't redesign a character halfway through. If this was Stan's original design there would be no problem.
If you shaved your head, your friends who have known you for years would take the piss out of you because yeah, now you look different to what you were before.
If you shaved your head and moved to a new city. Every new person you meet wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Preferences! As long as Eva establishes Lena has an attraction to Stan than it works. Plus Lena's character doesn't strike me as somebody who's so shallow she thinks about whether she's "out of a dude's league". I don't think Eva was trying to make him more handsome, because he facial features are still the literal same, he just looks less like he's about to cry and more like he's "chillin"(she gave him a smile, opened up his eyes a bit more, and brought his potrait closer to the camera). I think the change has more to do with the changes she's made to his personality.Though I don't like the new Stan at all, I do understand Eva. As Stan is most likely finally going to get some action, the old Stan just looks way out league for Lena whereas the new Stan is much more handsome:

Also, the storyline regarding Stan and Lena doesn't support any action between them, rather Lena feels her more like a close friend at most.
I understand the change but at this point I think they're a bad call.
Now i'm wondering if Stan might be more into music now than before. Ppl have pointed out "yet another photogropher" wouldn't really help him stand out from the rest, so Eva might be giving him a passion for music as a unique way for him and Lena to connect, since it's so intimate for her. Could be interesting, dont' think any other of Lena's LIs have as much of a passion for music as she does.Look how they massacred my boy. He doesn't look socially awkward nerd at all which was his selling point. Now he looks like someone who's into metal songs. Probably has a band as well.
