Tinkerer would have to make literally hundreds of alternate images showing the MC with different physiques/appearances, and tie which ones to show based on the MC's level. There's a lot of questlines you don't have to do right away, don't have to follow up on, or even skip entirely. Mia, the giants, the vampires, Liandra & Luthien, etc.the one pet peeve i can say about this game is mostly that the main protag hasn't really changed since he first started. his body looks the same. he hasn't bulked up a bit or gotten defined muscle over time from any excessive physical combat or heavy work load and he's still kind of a sub...yeah he's slick but also a bit of a comical coward in some ways and it just...bugs me....with all the crap he's been through you'd think he'd have developed more of a pair of balls on em and maybe not let certain thing derail him somehow? i know i am prolly just whining a tad but i know i'm not the first one to say a lot of us are tired of these scrawny comical dudes somehow fucking to some kind of success i guess? hard to put into words prolly. don't get me wrong i have always loved the game but i just wish the main protag would show some real visual growth i guess both physically and personal character too. like i said he's still the same person he was when he started and that's just kind of....boring i guess
The alternative is to have more experienced models at certain points in the game while accepting doing some of those side questlines later will show the MC with the "less-experienced" models if you don't do them until later in the game. Not doing Mia's quests until you're Lvl 20+ and getting early-game images of the MC when you do it would be kinda weird in my book. I'd rather have a consistent MC appearance than jumping back and forth with it.
