My god do people just LOVE to complain! I think both versions look great. I had wondered about how she would have looked if she were human. Everything from the eyes to the bone structure looks dead-on accurate!
Immersive Human Barstow = Already dead Barstow / Skeleton:
In addition to:
- Probably with a Holotape with instructions about the experiments, Lore, and the extra areas of the Vault 88 - One of the alt. entrances should be opened or required a new key to enter, instead of the obstacles. - Probable stronger ghouls than normal, since she isn't there to control them.
Yeah throwing "immersive" in the title is misleading and asking for trouble. This is un-immersive, twice over - i.e. human and pretend cryopod. Maybe if you had a pod sat there you could make an argument - but an ultra weak one. Not saying other pods couldn't exist outside vault 111, but there's no lore of overseers having them (not even in vault 111), and vault 88 wasn't even built yet. Plus she talks as if she's been aware the whole time...
A less un-immersive notion might be to give her a memory lounger, suggesting she was plugged into it FO3-style (i.e. Tranquility Lane) to extend her life as long as poss (and keep her "sane") so she could keep an extended watch over the vault while she waited for Vault Tec... But even with that, if you want immersion she'd still appear as a very ancient human (think Mr House in his FNV pod). And without it your mod would be less un-immersive if she's at least got a semi-ghoulified look. Maybe such resources exist - iirc, some Hancock mods do it.
I dont mind, people wanting her to be human, but the vault has been closed off for 200 years AND the construction crew became ghouls as well, so, you should change them as well.
I added human to the title to clarify. It is immersive in the sense that were Barstow a human, this is how she would look. I feel like having her look like a doll / completely different isn't immersive, especially because she has such a distinct face and jawline as a ghoul.
