Character looks and stats go hand-in-hand, for the most part. Shorter or thinner characters are harder to spot, for example, and stronger ones look... well, stronger. There are other options just for looks, like gender, skin tone, hairstyles, face features... You can change not only type and color for individual elements of the face but also size, rotation and much more, allowing you to customize your character's mug to your heart's content. The game's system has been considerably updated under the hood to have combat react to character stats. How much damage your characters deal, how easy they are for Trolls to spot, speed, magic, health and resistances... Balancing of all these will carry on into the next updates, with a significant overhaul of the combat system itself, but please give any feedback you can on what you think needs improvement.
Your saved characters can be found as individual .char files in the game's directory, making them easy to share between friends or backup. Other less glamorous additions to te game include a settings screen with graphics options and controller config screen, including a wizard to quickly set up your gamepads or input devices.
