Hello... Recently completed a MSQ quest that gave me an in game expression i could use named Ponder.. I tried it. took of my eyepatch to see how it looked on my character. then put the eye patch back on and didn't think much more of it..
However in cutscenes and looking closer at my character I started to notice something has been wrong with my character's eyepatch ever since. It's almost like there is a stone slab between my character's face and the actual Eyepatch. making it seem like my characters eye patch is growing outwards from my character's face.

I hope you can see it in this screenshot. But it is very noticable at least to me. And I would like to think that if this always was like this? I would have noticed it sooner. But i am almost certain this eyepatch started growing out of my face after i used the ponder expression.
Consulting with AI it suggested several solutions. Suchs as changing beard and hair styles. logging off without any facewear or armor. Everything it could think of to force reset my character's face. I even bought a fantasia to try and change to a new face and back again to see if that would solve the issue. Unfortunatley none so far have worked.
