Imported a face for Sara from the Archive, and used the default setup for Scott...and this is what the game extrapolated Alec should look like. I'm pretty sure this guy isn't their dad.

It just spoils the plot twist that both twins were adopted. In reality they are underwear models implanted with fake memories, sent to space to become mindless killing machines and take over all the other galaxies. Alec was just a front for the organization transporting them. Ellen never even existed.
In less serious terms, it's because the number of headset the dad uses is tied to the headset Ryder used and is pretty usually some iteration of the male headset of the same number. So you used headset 9, so dad becomes an altered version of Scott's headset 9 head. Which in this case makes the family connection look quite odd. Or maybe Alec underwent a questionable facial surgery and now his supermodel genes are appearing in his children.

Wow, that's pretty lazy if that's how they do it...they could at least make the skin tones match... But hey...at least he has green eyes.

Problem is that some of the heads have more limited skintone range than others. So 0.10, which is usually pretty pale on some of the headsets looks tan on others. Not sure if lazy is the word I'd use, but it is very awkward.

Had this happen to me too. Finished my first playthrough and decided to check out new game +. So I'm using the same Scott and Sara faces I used the first time, only this time I'm playing Sara instead of Scott. Scott had a different looking father than Sara. Sara had the same face posted here. What should I change to try and get a different more matching face? I never got a screenshot of the first playthroughs father unfortunately. Here's what my Scott and Sara look like: Scott and here's Sara

Jase Dakota Alec follows the face of the Ryder you are currently playing. So if you want the dad to have the same face as in the first run, you'll need to use preset 6 (I think) for Sara.

I was going to say it was just a way to break technology, like that NBA face scanner thing, but I'm just running with the underwear model swap for sheer awesomeness.

So I tested it out real quick and you are totally right. I imported my original twins again, then changed Sara's face to preset 6 and started the game, and sure enough there was dear old Dad I remembered from the first playthrough. I can't get preset 6 to look enough like my original Sara, so I suppose I'll stick with "Ellen slept around or possibly mixed-raced recessant genes" Dad. Since he won't be sticking around through the whole game. Thanks for the help, Kipper
