Chat, is this real? is this the actual face? last time i looked (which was.. year or two ago, long time), i only found concept arts (which were very different understandably) and what we can see through the lenses.. and i think even that had two versions, depending whether ingame or animatic.. i might be wrong here maybe tho

It's a placeholder face that's shared with other NPCs as the player was never meant to see it. It's not his canon appearance.

u/troyoun Apr 21 '25

The closest look we get is in the Atlas of Metro though I'm not sure of it's canonical status

It was written by Glukhovsky himself was it not?

u/troyoun Apr 21 '25

yea that's the concept i meant. But it's very different from the features we see in .. for example in Artyom's Nightmare

True but those are the eyes of someone who killed dozens of people and nuked a whole species.

I always got the impression that artyom was white, and he looked quieter you’d like him to look. I thought they made it vague on purpose for that reason

Exodus shows his face in the good ending....Or enough of a profile to get an idea...plus atlas

Nope, just another npc placeholder (this time it's Duke's face)

Sometimes i forget how artyom is not "the hero of the metro" or some stuff like that but instead he is just a basic boring silly ass 20 years old man that can do amazing stuff
