#catch me looking at insignificant details because i spend too long staring at elves
Text
Sometimes I am reminded of the fact that Iorveth just like canonically has very pretty eyes (or very pretty eye 😔).
In TW2, none of the men have eyelashes while the women do. As examples for the men, we have Geralt himself, Letho, Dandelion, and Roche:
And as examples for the women, Triss, Saskia, Sheala/Síle, Philippa, and Mottle.
However, Iorveth does have eyelashes on his in-game model:
This is unique to him, not an elven trait, because as we can see on Cedric, Ciaran, and Ele'yas, they don't have eyelashes like Iorveth does:
And it's not a fluke or graphical glitch on Iorveth, either, he consistently has them throughout the game:
He's just really pretty like that.
