This looks like an awesome character creator to use, and I can’t wait to spend hours in these menus once the game releases, ha. Here are my thoughts on the various features:
I hope the body types are a little more subtle and less exaggerated than previous Bethesda games, and I’m glad they’re still included. I’d honestly forgotten the body type options were in Fallout & Skyrim, having more recently played games like Dragon Age and Cyberpunk that don’t let you customize your body shape. Seeing body type and walk style labeled 1 vs. 2 is a nice gender-neutral touch. It’s great to have the ability to customize the walking style, as I’m flashing back to horribly exaggerated female walking animations in other games. cough Dragon Age Inquisition cough
The shape customization options for face shape and other face parts seem solid. Playing with shape blending via sliders feels like something you only got in Skyrim via an extended character creation menu; I prefer that to Fallout’s method, where you click and drag on the face model itself. Given the shots of NPCs and possible characters in the direct, it looks like a good range of wildly different character appearances can be created.
What are your thoughts on the character creator? Do you like creating the most off-the-wall bizarre faces or something more realistic? Are you going to recreate yourself in the game or go for something different?
yeah, I usually don’t even attempt to make myself in character creators, for similar reasons!
