The Model looks fine except you can see the inner dwellings of his soul. Look at that belly seamline. Also why does his angry pose make him look like a pouting teenage girl?

External link →Yeah, that's a fair concern. I've just implemented a bugfix to replace the angry pose with a default masculine EoC stance.
I'd hoped the tension in the shoulders and tendency to fold arms would be more characterful and help capture a little more of his original silhouette, but on reflection it was a mis-step, and ultimately the armour was made for a more neutral player stance. My bad!
(I also changed examines "Who could move in all that armour?" to his alternate text "A mysterious warrior clad in thick plate armour.", given that's been raised as a concern and is something I can fix.)
They're config changes, so needs to wait for a Monday game update, but that'll hopefully present the Raptor's new model closer to what the character artists intended.
Will that change Raptor's stance in all Fort-related appearances?
Good to hear, I think the angry pose was a graphical misstep.
Yep, anywhere he's using a casual stance will be updated to no longer use this angry stance.
(Combat stance is already using the neutral type. You can see that in the Raptor at the Glacor front or Burthorpe troll cave, for example.)
Why did you make them less bulky? There are plenty of bulk armor sets in the game that fit the player's 1x1 size while making the Raptor interactable, but still minimizing this poor 'retcon aura' around the raptor.
It was unfortunately a necessity for the Raptor to conform to a human player rig so they can use the animations available to a player.
We had to do a similar thing to Sir Owen back when I developed Death of Chivalry.
All the signature heroes were initially made with unique models with a limited set of animations that'd work with them. That limited what we could do with the characters.
i wish i could lose weight as fast as Raptor Stu
he looks like he went on a major dieting spree
Never skip torso day.
