Why not some actual 3D Models/skins for Ascendencies?

This is something that always bothered me about POE 1 as well.

We get these AMAZING art pieces for each ascendency. Really cool stuff.

Then when you look at the character log in screen - you look NOTHING LIKE YOUR ASCENDENCY PICTURE.

Why not put some effort into changing the art for the 3rd models when you ascend? And an option in the settings to toggle it on and off?

I get its not groundbreaking, but this is one of those things that is an easy win for the investment.

Because they'd rather you spend money and pay for skins. This money can then be used to fund their whole operation.
