Is it just me, or did character creation settings get a tweak?

Bear with me here.
I don't know if it's just the change in lighting on the PTR or what, but...I feel like something about the character creator has changed and I'm posting because I'm not sure if I'm going crazy.
It's like the sliders for Soft, Angular, and Heroic have been modified to be more...defined, I guess. The changes are less subtle, making for a more desirable effect. Noticed it the most when trying to make a female Nord. On the actual game, it feels like female Nords have this weird squarish facial shape that, while fine on its own, can't ever really be softened/slimmed a bit by the sliders. On the PTR, it can.
I also noticed that for female dark elves, it's the same. You can make the face a little fuller, less hatchet-y. Not so much that it breaks typical dark elf immersion (they're not the most attractive race by far), but there's just more of a noticeable difference in how you can smooth out the face.
Yeah, I know I'm not explaining this well, but hopefully someone gets what I'm talking about? I originally refused to play a dark elf because of the way all manner of lighting would make her face look as if she'd had a botched face lift, but here, things seem to be a lot better. I can even make a young-looking dark elf.
Did the lighting change? Did the sliders change? Am I going nuts because I haven't played this game in months?
