All asari have the same face

Asari are supposed to be other worldy beautiful and I am disappoint... I could understand limitations in the original trilogy but you would think they could do it better now not make their faces worse. Hey maybe it was the great Asari culling, send your plainest to anothr galaxy to keep the Milky Way beautiful....

They have a lot of copy and paste npcs. DAI had a lot of those as well. Environments might look better in frostbite but the npcs don't

They should have given Lexi a uniques face model. You can romance her but why would anyone bother to? A generic asari with a lackluster personality. Why bother.

There were some clones in the original trilogy, but they were limited to background decoration NPCs that you didn't actually interact with. One of the more memorable examples was in the Dark Star Lounge in ME2, where some of the Asari on the dance floor not only had identical faces, but identical clothing and identical, synchronized dance moves. 

The original trilogy did a much better job however of giving NPCs you interacted with some variation. For example...










In ME:A all four of those characters would have shared Lexi's face.

I think part of the problem with ME:A was priorities. They seem to put a lot of effort into giving Krogan unique faces, but as a species that looks very alien to begin with, they don't really need that many unique faces. Some differences with colorization and markings would have sufficed. It's the aliens that very human-like that need more work to give them unique appearances, because the clone effect is much more noticeable with characters that are human or human-like.

Not that i can see. Looks pretty generic to me. Check Liara's face. it's totally unique.

I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with an explanation that Kett got to the asari ark and tried exaltation on the spot.
Exaltation failed (space magic) and in the process, instead of creating new Kesaris, we got bunch of clones of one ugly asari which turned out to be a male (radiation from interstellar travels can do that). As for who is the original one, we may never know.
In the meantime, Peebee was taking a dump, so she dodged a bullet, which would explain why she's unique.

I was thinking the same as well just the other day.

But i guess the Turians have the same face, maybe it is because we speak to fewer of them we do not notice?

Yeah I have to admit all Asari looks EXACTLY the same. In trilogy they looked similar, but not the same.
I think in this case it is just a pure laziness.

clearly you have some very...  special... taste, my friend. Good for you i guess.

You're not joking either, are you? First, let me apologize again in this thread because of the confusion I might have made when I said most non important asari on the trilogy were based on Liara's face, that was an exaggeration, and many may take that seriously. However, if you're really stating that no asari npc took Liara's face, I'm sorry, but I don't buy it.
Now, it's painfully obvious in MEA because they didn't even bother to tweak their textures a little more. The only way it could be more stupid is if they all wrote Lexi on their foreheads.

Just answer me this then, does this seem the same asari to you?
 
Notice how they even tweaked heir mouth a little bit to look larger and took away a little bit of her chin's "mark". Of course you still recognize her because of the very similar facial markings, that they changed to give her a more "darker" and not so naive look anymore.

Now, zoom in the two images of Liara and Lieutenant Kurin and compare them (zoom the Kurin one a little more because the image is a little smaller, go clicking one and the other) and see if their faces are not the same, Liara is with her head inclined a little bit, but it's the best one I could find. The eyes are the same, the nose is the same and the mouth is extremely similar (only a little bit different because Liara was tweaked to look a little larger on the sides from ME2 Lotsb onwards). Even the philtrum in their faces (I think this is the name) is the same.

They just did a much greater job at tweaking their textures and masking this so that most people don't even notice.

Better than this, I think the only way is to swap their textures so you can see what I'm talking about.

Maybe if we pester the devs enough, they will have to take this into consideration. The more outrage, the higher the chance of improvements. For me, it is a total immersion killer, worst problem of the game atm.

Also note that these were filler "men on the street" that made the cities appear full of life.  Compare Novigrad to any of the outposts Anagaran cities.  I liked how in Witcher 3 you would literally have to run people down on your horse to get around because the streets were so crowded.

Now, I also invite you to peruse the 32 PAGES of named Witcher3 characters.  Sure, some re-use facial features and whatnot but the comparison is not even close:
