Last night ago, I purchased Code Vein on the PC and installed a few mods. Because of this I’m able to see what the characters look like without their masks on. It’s been interesting to see, and unintentionally hilarious cause literally no one has lip-syncing in cut-scenes that require them to wear one.
But one thing I thought was interesting was the chance I got to see what Oliver Collins looked like under his mask. And more in turn, what he looks like after he turns into a fresh Lost. He has veins all over his face and neck and the sclera of his left eye is blackened. There’s a growth coming out of his head where the veins stop as they move from left to right.
(The blank face doesn’t mean anything, he has no facial animations).
Another thing I noticed is that in game play, Oliver has green eyes, but red eyes in cutscenes:
However, this changes after his mask is damaged, and the model switches to the red eyed one:
Something I feel the need to point out is that the majority of NPCs have red eyes under their masks. It’s likely because we aren’t meant to see what they look like under them and it’s simply a default placeholder, but I do find it interesting that the team went out of their way to give Oliver a unique eye color during gameplay only to just throw it out the window later.
Character’s eyes in Code Vein glow red whenever they are using their blood veil and powers, but they also turn red when they start losing themselves to frenzy. Lost also have red eyes. Other characters that have red eyes include Louis, Karen, and Cruz but I doubt it means anything, especially given Cruz’ eyes were red before she frenzied and turned blue later.
It’s far more likely that some revenants just wake up having red eyes, probably to tie into the vampire theme the game is going for. There was something going around earlier that the art book says the reason Davis has one red eye is that he almost turned, but as of now there doesn’t seem to be any hard evidence that text exists. I’m hopeful there will be more details about the significance of red eyes, if there is anything deepeer to it, in Code Vein in the future.
