My female drow's head is not sitting properly on its neck.

Definitely crossbow related.

Yep, it's the dual crossbow stance as I mentioned earlier. It pulls the shoulders back and the head forwards. But they missed out on moving one of the model points and it ends up causing this weird look for Drow and normal Elves as they share mostly the same model details.

Thank you for this thread. Was planning a Drow Inquisitive on a life real soon and I will wait now for news of the fix.

Nothing worse than visual bugs to destroy immersion and make DDO useless.

I wish they'd get rid of this pose. I hate it; the characters look like they're hunchbacked.

So dont play a female elf-ish Inquis.

Or male is also affected ?

I don't know. Recently played male wood elf and it was not an issue. Not sure about male drow elf, or female wood elf. I do recall these things can be gender specific though.

The Wood Elf uses a different body and head type, from the classical DDO Elf and Drow (and by extension Sun Elf) so it's unlikely to run into the same issue. This is more specific to the classical Elven head and body combination.

I haven't checked the male version if it suffers from the same issue, but I can do that in a jot on one of my alt accounts. One mo.

It looks like the male Elf head does also get pulled back a bit but not as severely and thus not an issue for most who see it (it's still there, just not as badly as on the female avatar). You can definitely see the neck has got a weird angle where it's like the character is craning their head forward whilst holding their head and body straight; so the base of the neck on the body is further back and the neck reach under the jaw is much further ahead.

So this is largely a female avatar issue for the classical DDO Elves only (where it is so obvious that it's wrong).

DDO banshees?

Drow society scheming has gone too far, I guess. Now the heads are detached while the victims are still alive.
