I apologize for being so dim, but I don't quite understand what you mean by killing your ability to swap skin textures underneath costume/armor pieces.

Again, that's not the fault of the technology, not entirely, at least. Much as I'll probably toss people under the bus who don't deserve it, the artists are at fault here. They dropped the ball on the faces. Yes, I agree, the new faces are hideous. That's because they're the faces of hideous people. With or without normal mapping, those are still horrible faces that I'd never, ever use. But that doesn't mean GOOD faces can't do well with better technology.

Or a non-angular neck.
