Should I add avatars to the textbox?
Added 2022-02-27 05:28:39 +0000 UTCSomething I've been wondering, and I personally cannot decide either way, so I'm looking for input from the audience. I see pros and cons for both aspects. As the title says, should I look at adding avatars to the textbox area? They wouldn't replace the text names, nor would there be any variation. I'd basically make a good quality "profile" image of each characters face/head, and use that to the left of the test box.

I like the avatars that change expressions during sentence to give an additional cue to the emotional content, since text can be a bit limiting there. I know the main renders do a good job, but often you don't want to render a full scene 17 different times just to show the roller coaster of facial expressions that can happen during a conversation.
