As we played Age of Conan in a darkened room somewhere in developer Eidos’ HQ, lead designer Jason Allen Stone suggested the magnificently ugly face of our barbarian might be corrected by limiting the range of his facial customization.

Few games allow you so much character in a single human face. You might only be able to play humans in Age of Conan’s online fantasy world, but they are humans with genuine, monstrous charisma. They are, after all, escaped slaves turned adventurers - why should they be pretty?
