retexture of powder master and item identifier

Why do the Powder Master and the Item Identifier still share the same texture?
They are two of the five most functionally important NPCs in the game, so they should definitely be distinguishable.

There are already many NPC textures in the game—some town has its own unique NPC designs.
And yet, the Powder Master and the Item Identifier still use the same texture. This should be changed.
I don’t know the exact technical constraints, but it seems like it should be possible to give them separate textures.

 

Because there's a limited number of villager skins.
As long as they are villagers, they will have this limitation.


... Also don't you think that when we update our systems that instead of giving them separate skins we'd design unique models for them instead?
I don't get why you'd suggest this, but maybe I just think it's obvious because I'm working back there and not playing out here.

 

I am of the opinion that each important NPC should have its own custom model, which seems to be what they're leaning towards as implied by deusphage. It'd also be nice for there to be more than just one model for said NPC for different areas to avoid that "Nurse Joy" feeling that they currently have.
