1. I wanted a brand new model that is exactly the same as an older model! But better!
2. It's been 48 hours since release, why aren't there 300 different clothing models, 20 hair styles, 15 morph packs and 1000 texture sets available yet?!
3. Why aren't there as many merchants supporting a model out for two days as there is for a model that's been out for 4 years?
But seriously, V3 was released on December 19th, 2002. Shall we take a look into the timestream and see some of the things people were saying back then? I mean, nothing but praise, right? (Names omitted.)
*I'm staring at about $2000 worth of Vicki clothes and textures and pose files I've got on about ten CD's which came from either DAZ or Renderosity. What I'm hearing is that most of those clothes won't work without major tweaking and that I have to manually UV map all my textures. What about the pose files?"

I thought i'd buy vicki 3 sense i had a tiny bit of cash. So, I bought the vicki 3 base and high texture contour pack. Turns out it was a waste of my money.
Vicki 3 Base pack comes with Jack for morphs, You can not copy any of the Victoria 2 Morphs over to the Vicki 3 Model because she is spliced up differently.
Personally i find myself discusted, I was figuring it would at least come with some 'Base Morphs' like the first victoria when it was release Way back when but Nope. All you get is a 'Spandex' morph for the body, and facial morphs. You get absolutely No morphs for minipulating the body Form other the 'Spandex'.
If your planning on Buying Vicki 3, while her jointing and the higher mesh do make her a bit more flexable - You better Grab The Morph packs for the Face and Body or you'll be sitting in a cold dark room with nothing to work with. This is by far The Worst release i've seen from daz.
And not even as Flexable as the Vicki 1 Model when it comes to shaping the body... go figure... scam job?
*I find this new vicki difficult to use. It clouds my library with so many folders and have to attached a morph before I can use them... maybe I haven't find out the correct way to use yet or this was done to cater to more functions.
Any way to make the clothes for other victoria models fit into vicki 3?*
*V2 shipped out with a ton o' morphs on her. I think she looks quite stiff, but at least if I wanted to raise her eyebrows, I could do so right away. This "injection" process is to me an unwelcome extra step.
I bought along with V3 the 'head' and 'body' morph packages, V2 shipped with quite an extensive collection of 'head' and 'body' morphs already installed. This reminds me of buying a meal 'ala carte.' Yes, the figure seems cheaper when it's priced at $23 for an upgrade, but when you add the packages you need to buy to get the same versatility that you got from V2, the price goes up til you've spent another $60+ on Victoria, again.... I think that was a seperate gripe, I apologize! ("Ooooooh.... You wanted tires with your new car? Well, that'll be $200 extra.")*
How do they expect us to create more characters off of this model? They profit from the products that other people make from their models so I don't see what all the greed is for.
They could have kept things the way they were but no, they want to see if they can squeez even more out of us.*
Now, are there any more questions about why Victoria 4 is clearly the unprecedented end of the world as we know it? I mean, what more proof could you need? Clearly the new model is DOOMED because it costs too much and it's not as flexible as old models and there's not enough stuff for it and it looks ugly and its mother dresses it funny.
