Forum member told me my texture replacer was too shiny

I posted a skin texture mod for Skyrim last month and a guy named OldManJenkins said the face looked like a plastic doll. He was right, the specular map was cranked way too high. I dropped the gloss value by half in GIMP and it actually looked like skin after that. Has anyone else gotten a rude comment that ended up making their mod better?

Did you ever try messing with the normal map too? I made a retexture for something totally different once and tweaking the normals made way more difference than the specular.

Isn't specular way more important for actual material feel than bumpy trickery though?
