Small Suggestions to Improve Ashes of Creation

I've been really enjoying Ashes of Creation so far, but I've noticed a few things that could make the game even better:
Crouch Button:
I genuinely miss having a crouch button. It would be great if every class could crouch to hide or sneak around, which could add some extra depth to gameplay.
NPC Portrait Variety:
Right now, all NPCs in the main city have identical portraits. Having more varied portraits would make interactions feel more realistic and engaging.
Voice Acting Quality:
The current voice acting feels somewhat robotic or AI-generated, kind of like ChatGPT. More natural-sounding voice acting would really improve immersion.
Expanded Customization Options:
I'd love to see more character customization options, such as additional hairstyles, facial features.

The crouch button, in particular, could add some cool gameplay layers, not just for stealth, but even for roleplay moments or basic movement variety. It's a small thing that helps make the world feel more alive.
As for the portraits and voice acting, I totally agree. But remember we are in Alpha phase.
And yes to more customization options! Especially in a game like Ashes, where player identity and community interaction matter so much, the more ways we have to make our character ours, the better.
Crouching down or even crawling on the Ground to hide in like for example higher Grass, behind rocks, inside or behind huge Bushes and the likes,
Yes - i would really love to have that available for every Player and Archetype of Course.
